Atlanta designated Camargo for assignment Monday.

He'll give up his spot on the 40-man roster to Jose Azocar, who was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to provide outfield depth after Eli White (personal) was placed on the paternity leave list. The 27-year-old Camargo saw action in one game with Atlanta earlier in the season but has otherwise spent the entire campaign at Gwinnett, slashing .216/.254/.305 with two home runs and four steals over 178 plate appearances.

Pirates manager Don Kelly said that Rodriguez was removed from Sunday's 11-5 win over the Nationals due to a left hip injury, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.

Rodriguez singled in the top of the eighth inning before being lifted for a pinch runner. He missed a bit of time in mid-June with left hip discomfort, so Rodriguez could be dealing with an aggravation of that injury. The Pirates are idle Monday but could offer more clarity on Rodriguez's status before Tuesday's series opener against Atlanta. If Rodriguez needs to miss additional time, Henry Davis would be due for an uptick in playing time behind the plate.

Ruiz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

The Nationals will give Ruiz a break for the series opener after he went 2-for-3 with a double and a run while catching six innings of Sunday's 11-5 loss to the Pirates. Drew Millas will step in for Ruiz behind the plate and will bat eighth.

Baldwin went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a second run scored in Sunday's loss to the Mets.

Eleven of the game's 19 runs were scored in the ninth inning, and Baldwin had the biggest blow in the frame when he launched his 15th homer of the season, and first career grand slam, off Huascar Brazoban. The blast snapped a 15-game power drought in which Baldwin had gone just 4-for-58 (.069) with zero extra-base hits or RBI while striking out 21 times, following his mid-June return from an oblique strain.

Rushing is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against San Diego.

Rushing started the previous three contests and will rest Sunday after going 5-for-9 with a double, a homer, four RBI and four runs during that span. Eliezer Alfonzo is making his MLB debut behind the plate in the series finale for the Dodgers.

Mack is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Miami will keep Mack and fellow left-handed hitters Griffin Conine, Kyle Stowers and Owen Caissie on the bench for the series finale in Sacramento while southpaw Gage Jump takes the hill for the Athletics. Brian Navarreto will fill in for Mack behind the dish and will bat ninth.

Haase is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

After Daniel Susac (back) landed on the 10-day injured list June 26, Haase looked to be next in line to serve as Giants' primary catcher. Instead, Drew Cavanaugh has ascended to the top of the depth chart since being called up from Triple-A Sacramento following Susac's move to the IL, while Haase has been stuck in the No. 2 role. Haase will be stuck on the bench for the fourth time in five games while Cavanaugh picks up another start behind the dish.

Contreras is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Contreras started the previous six games and will receive a day off after posting a .231/.286/.231 slash line during that stretch. Gary Sanchez is working behind the plate in the series finale for the Brewers.

Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Realmuto launched a two-run homer during Saturday's contest but will hit the bench Sunday for the second time in the past three games. Garrett Stubbs is picking up a start behind the plate Sunday for Philadelphia.

Crooks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

After he was held out of the lineup for the first two games of the series against lefty starters, the left-handed hitter will remain on the bench even with right-hander Javier Assad on the bump for the Cubs. Crooks looks as though he'll have to settle for a part-time role while the Cardinals continue to carry two other catchers (Ivan Herrera and Pedro Pages) on the active roster.
