Johan Camargo SS | SF
Phillies' Johan Camargo: Idle Tuesday
Camargo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.
Camargo will head to the bench after going 4-for-16 with a home run, a double and a walk over a stretch of four consecutive starts. Two of those starts came at shortstop, where he'll likely see the bulk of his opportunities in the short term while Didi Gregorius (knee) is on the injured list. However, rookie Bryson Stott will get the nod at shortstop Tuesday at Camargo's expense.

Brewers' Willy Adames: Feels better, but IL not dismissed
Adames (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, and Brewers president of baseball operations David Stearns said the shortstop could still require a stint on the 10-day injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Adames sat out Monday's 1-0 win with the left ankle sprain, an injury that previously forced him out of Sunday's 7-3 victory over the Marlins. Though he'll give way to Luis Urias at shortstop for the second day in a row, Adames showed enough improvement upon reporting to the ballpark Tuesday for the Brewers to push back an IL decision until Wednesday, according to Stearns. That being said, Stearns noted that a trip to the IL is "still on the table" for Adames, who may need to resume baseball activities in some capacity Wednesday to avoid being deactivated for at least the next week.

Nationals' Dee Strange-Gordon: Sitting Tuesday
Strange-Gordon will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.
Strange-Gordon seems to be moving ahead of Alcides Escobar on the shortstop depth chart, as he started five of the last seven games there prior to Tuesday's contest. Escobar will get the nod this time, however, and the pair could continue to split time fairly evenly going forward.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Slides to shortstop
Perdomo started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.
Perdomo stepped in for Nick Ahmed, who was added to the injured list Monday for an undisclosed reason. The rookie infielder should see most of the work at shortstop while Ahmed is unavailable.

Nick Ahmed SS | TEX
Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Lands on IL
Ahmed was placed on the injured list Monday for an undisclosed reason, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Ahmed's "shoulder is feeling fine," despite recent news that it flared up in recent days, and stressed it's not the reason the shortstop landed on the IL. So, if it's not the shoulder, then it could be COVID-related. Geraldo Perdomo is expected to see the bulk of the playing time at short while Ahmed is sidelined.

Brewers' Willy Adames: Could require IL stint
Manager Craig Counsell said Monday that Adames (ankle) could require a trip to the injured list, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Adames underwent X-rays that came back negative Sunday, but he's still feeling sore and will visit with team doctors Monday night. He's out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta, but the team could choose to give him additional time to recover. If Adames requires a trip to the injured list, Luis Urias and Mike Brosseau would likely see additional time at shortstop, while Pablo Reyes would be a candidate to join the major-league roster.

Nick Ahmed SS | TEX
Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Not starting Monday
Ahmed isn't starting Monday against the Dodgers.
Ahmed started in the last two games and went 2-for-6 with an RBI and two strikeouts. Geraldo Perdomo will take his place at shortstop and bat seventh.

Diego Castillo 3B | MIN
Pirates' Diego Castillo: On bench Monday
Castillo isn't starting Monday against the Cubs.
Castillo has gone 1-for-5 with an RBI and a strikeout over his last two games, and he'll be out of the lineup for the third time in the last five matchups. Rodolfo Castro will shift to shortstop while Michael Chavis starts at second base.

Dee Strange-Gordon SS | WAS
Nationals' Dee Strange-Gordon: Starts over Escobar again
Strange-Gordon will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Marlins, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.
For the second time in three games, Strange-Gordon will draw the nod at shortstop over Alcides Escobar with a right-handed starter (Sandy Alcantara) on the mound. Though Strange-Gordon bats from the left side while Escobar hits from the right side, it's unclear if manager Dave Martinez will opt for a platoon between the two players, as Escobar drew the start in Sunday's 8-0 loss against Houston right-hander Justin Verlander. Instead, Martinez may be inclined to ride the hotter bat between Escobar and Strange-Gordon, who has gone 5-for-23 with no extra-base hits since being reinstated from the injured list earlier this month.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Brewers' Willy Adames: Not in Monday's lineup
Adames (ankle) isn't starting Monday's game against Atlanta, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Adames sustained a left ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Marlins, but he underwent X-rays that came back negative. However, he'll be held out of the lineup for the first time this season. Luis Urias will shift to shortstop while Jace Peterson starts at third base.
