Caminero went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Padres.

Caminero walked and scored in the first inning and then gave the Rays a 5-2 lead on a 429-foot home run in the second. In his last 10 games, the 21-year-old has gone deep three times with six RBI and is slashing a solid .254/.319/.460 across 69 major-league plate appearances this season.

Rojas is absent from Saturday's lineup against the Angels.

Rojas will avoid matching up against Halos southpaw Tyler Anderson. Luis Urias will start at third base and bat sixth.

The Mariners selected Urias' contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Urias has been swinging a hot bat at Tacoma recently, slashing .333/.434/.578 with three homers, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored over 53 plate appearances across his last 12 games. His uptick in production has now been rewarded with a spot on the active roster, though he will have to compete for playing time at third base with Josh Rojas. In corresponding moves, Gabe Speier was optioned to Triple-A, and Terrin Vavra was designated for assignment.

Bohm (hand) isn't in the Phillies' lineup Saturday versus Atlanta.

Bohm was cleared of any structural damage after he left Thursday's game with a left hand injury, but he'll now miss his second consecutive start as he continues to deal with some soreness. While he recovers, Weston Wilson will get the nod at the hot corner and bat seventh.

Clement isn't in Toronto's lineup Saturday against Minnesota.

Clement will get a breather Saturday after going 7-for-37 (.189) with two homers and eight RBI across the Jays' last 10 games. His absence will allow Leo Jimenez to pick up a start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Jung is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the A's.

Josh Smith will start at third base and bat third against right-hander Joey Estes. Jung has hit safely in six of his last seven games and he swiped two bags Thursday, but the 26-year-old is still slashing just .229/.234/.314 with two homers in 27 games since returning from right wrist surgery.

Bregman (elbow) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The third baseman will miss a second consecutive start due to elbow soreness, with Mauricio Dubon once again filling in at the hot corner. Bregman has been bothered by the elbow throughout August -- it cost him five games earlier in the month -- but there has been nothing to suggest an IL move will be necessary.

Espinal (shin) isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against Milwaukee.

Espinal had to make an early exit from Friday's nightcap after fouling a ball off his left shin, and he'll take a seat for at least Saturday's game as he deals with some inflammation. His absence will open a spot in the lineup for Noelvi Marte to start at third base while batting eighth.

Jung is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

Following an 0-for-5, two-strikeout showing Friday, Jung's slash line is down to .222/.327/.267 through his first 13 games. He's one of the organization's top prospects and the Tigers figure to give him some runway to show what he can do, but Jung will give way to Ryan Kreidler at third base against right-hander Nick Pivetta.

The Orioles are expected to recall Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

With rosters set to expand Sunday, Mayo will return to the majors for the stretch run, though he won't be assured everyday playing time. Widely considered one of the top prospects in baseball, Mayo has put together a big year at Triple-A with 22 homers and a .943 OPS in 87 games for Norfolk. His 1-for-17 showing during his first cup of coffee in the big leagues should not dampen enthusiasm long term in dynasty leagues.
