Camargo cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Camargo was designated for assignment by Philadelphia over the weekend but will remain in the organization after he passed through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old posted a .218/.317/.294 slash line in 35 games for Lehigh Valley after he was demoted from the big-league roster in late July.

Grissom isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

The rookie infielder will get a second consecutive day off after playing in nine straight games for Atlanta. Orlando Arcia will assume his spot at second base and bat ninth.

Cruz went 4-for-5 with two runs in Monday's 8-3 win against the Reds.

Cruz batted atop the order and did the job of a leadoff hitter, reaching base four times on singles. His hit in the fifth inning led to Pittsburgh's first run, though Cruz wasn't credited with an RBI since the runner crossed the plate due to an error. The rookie has followed a four-game, 0-for-13 stretch by going 6-for-9 and scoring three runs over his past two contests.

Grissom is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Washington, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

After Ozzie Albies (finger) moved back to the injured list Sept. 18 following a short-lived return from his broken foot, Grissom has taken back everyday duties at second base. The rookie started each of the past eight games and went 6-for-25 with three walks, but he'll be on the bench for the series opener in Washington as manager Brian Snitker gives utility man Orlando Arcia a rare look at the keystone.

Swanson went 3-for-6 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Phillies.

Swanson knocked an RBI single in the second inning before drilling a two-run shot in the fourth. The 28-year-old shortstop is now slashing .281/.334/.445 with 54 extra-base hits and 92 RBI through 153 games this season. However, he's hitting .250 with 26 strikeouts in 22 contests this month.

Abrams went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in a 6-1 victory Sunday in Miami.

Abrams singled and stole second in the second and drove in a run with a single and came around to score in the eighth. He was credited with another stolen base in the fourth inning after a defensive miscommunication led to him stealing home. It was his second three-hit performance of his career and the first time he stole two bases in a big-league game. The 21-year-old has put together a strong September, producing a .307/.316/.427 slash line with seven extra-base hits and three stolen bases.

Lindor went 3-for-5 with a double, three runs and three RBI in a 13-4 win against the Athletics on Sunday.

Lindor singled and scored in the third inning, doubled home two and scored in the fourth, and singled home another run before scoring in the eighth. The 28-year-old extended his hit streak to 11 games with his fifth multi-hit performance during the stretch and is slashing a robust .316/.353/.526 with 11 extra-base hits in 23 contests this month.

Perdomo is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Perdomo started the past four games and will receive a day off after he went 5-for-17 with two RBI, two runs and a stolen base during that stretch. Sergio Alcantara will take over at shortstop and bat sixth.

Camargo was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Sunday.

The 28-year-old was demoted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in late July and has now been removed from Philadelphia's 40-man roster. Camargo appeared in 52 games for the Phillies this year and had a .237/.297/.316 slash line with three home runs and 15 RBI.

Barrero is not in the lineup Sunday against the Brewers.

Barrero is 6-for-44 with 22 strikeouts in his past 12 appearances and finds himself on the bench Sunday for the third time in Cincinnati's past four games. Kyle Farmer will shift to shortstop while Spencer Steer mans the hot corner.
