Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Drives in two Tuesday
Camargo went 1-for-3 with a two-run double in Tuesday's win over the Padres.
He's now slashing an impressive .353/.378/.500 over his last 10 games with seven RBI and six runs. If the Braves follow through on their plan to try Freddie Freeman at third base when he comes off the DL, Camargo could get bumped to the bench or even back to Triple-A Gwinnett, but at the moment he's doing everything he can to convince the club to leave him at the hot corner.

Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA
Twins' Ehire Adrianza: Beginning rehab assignment Thursday
Adrianza (abdomen) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester on Thursday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Twins manager Paul Molitor said the team would like Adrianza to play a total of three rehab games before being activated from the DL on Monday, so it's shaping up to be a busy weekend for the young infielder. The switch hitter has been out since June 22 with the injury, but recent evaluations revealed nothing of concern. Adrianza is slashing .259/.323/.333 this season while working out of a limited reserve role and missed an early portion of the season due to a right oblique strain.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Nationals' Trea Turner: Swipes four bags Tuesday
Turner went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and four stolen bases in Tuesday's win over the Cubs.
Little more than a week after setting a new franchise record with four steals in a game, Turner does it again. The 23-year-old now has 11 swipes in his last 15 games, pushing him to the top of the MLB leaderboard with 32 on the year -- one more than Billy Hamilton.

Nick Ahmed SS | TEX
Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Diagnosed with small fracture
Manager Torey Lovullo said Ahmed has a small fracture in his right hand but will undergo further tests.
Ahmed left Tuesday's game after he was hit by a pitch, and subsequent evaluations confirmed the difficult scenario. A trip to the disabled list appears to be on the horizon for the backup shortstop, meaning Daniel Descalso will assume that duty behind regular starter Chris Owings. Expect Ahmed to return sometime after the All-Star break, depending on what trainers deem to be the best course of recovery.

Ahmed exited Tuesday's game against the Cardinals early after being hit by a pitch in the wrist/forearm area, Jack Magruder of FanRagSports.com reports.
Ahmed was 0-for-3 at the plate before being removed from the game in the bottom of the eighth inning after being pelted by a 99 mph fastball from Trevor Rosenthal. Ahmed will likely undergo testing Wednesday, at which point we'll receive word on the severity of his injury.

Orlando Arcia SS | MIN
Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Pops sixth homer Tuesday
Arcia went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Reds.
The homer was his sixth of the season, and Arcia is now hitting a sizzling .424 (14-for-33) over his last 10 games. The 22-year-old has made a number of highlight-reel plays on defense since making his major-league debut in 2016, and it looks like his bat is beginning to catch up to his glove.

Tim Anderson 2B | LAA
White Sox's Tim Anderson: Will continue wearing glasses
Anderson said after Monday's loss to the Yankees that he plans to wear corrective lenses for the remainder of the season, Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports.
Anderson inquired about additional eye testing beyond what a team normally offers a couple of weeks ago and has been getting used to the lenses since purchasing them. The 24-year-old shortstop has struggled all season but offered a glimmer of hope during Monday's loss when he had two hits and a three-run home run.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Dodgers' Corey Seager: Available off bench Tuesday
Seager (hamstring) is available off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Angels, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Seager has now missed four consecutive games with a hamstring strain but is apparently healthy enough to jump into live action if necessary. Despite the fact that he's reportedly healthy enough to play, the Dodgers are not ruling out a trip to the 10-day disabled list. He'll remain day-to-day for the time being.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Dodgers' Corey Seager: Held out again Tuesday
Seager (hamstring) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Seager will be held out for a fourth straight game as he continues to work his way back from a hamstring strain. Manager Dave Roberts said Seager was at about 80 percent before Monday's contest, so he appears to be nearing a return to action. He'll remain day-to-day; Enrique Hernandez will continue to fill in for him at shortstop.

Cardinals' Aledmys Diaz: Takes seat Tuesday
Diaz is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Jim Hayes of Fox Sports Midwest reports.
Diaz will head to the bench for a breather after appearing in 13 straight games for the Cardinals. Paul DeJong will slide over to shortstop in his stead, while Greg Garcia gets the start at second base.
