Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Brewers.

The 28-year-old continues to climb out of his early season hole. Over his last 16 games, Swanson is slashing .340/.414/.560 with two homers, three steals, eight RBI and 12 runs, although he still sports an elevated 31.0 percent strikeout rate during that stretch.

Rojas went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a 3-2 loss Sunday in San Diego.

Rojas singled and swiped second base in the seventh inning against Joe Musgrove. It was the first stolen base of the season for the veteran after he stole a career-best 13 in 2021. The 33-year-old is off to a terrible start at the plate with a .489 OPS but has shown signs of life recently, reaching base safely in five of his last six starts.

Camargo is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Camargo picked up a start at first base in the Phillies' 3-2 win over the Mets in Game 1, going 1-for-4 at the plate. Though he'll move to the bench with Rhys Hoskins checking back into the lineup for Game 2, Camargo should pick up steady work at shortstop while Didi Gregorius (knee) is on the injured list. Bryson Stott will end up starting at shortstop in both games of the twin bill, however.

Edman went 0-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 13-7 loss to the Giants.

Edman's picked up two steals in his last four games, though both have been in contests in which he didn't collect a hit. The second baseman is sporting a 13.3 walk rate, which has helped him post a sturdy .408 on-base percentage through 108 plate appearances. He's up to seven steals, three home runs, 14 RBI and 18 runs scored in 26 games this season.

Camargo will start at first base and bat eighth in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Mets, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Though he'll be filling in for a resting Rhys Hoskins in Game 1 of the twin bill, Camargo appears well positioned to serve as the Phillies' primary option at shortstop for at least over the next week and a half after Didi Gregorius (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. The Phillies recalled prospect Bryson Stott from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to restore some depth in the middle infield, and though he'll start at shortstop in Game 1, he turned in a lowly .328 OPS in 31 plate appearances to begin the season before he was optioned to Lehigh Valley. Meanwhile, Camargo is holding down a .680 OPS over 64 plate appearances on the campaign, which should be enough to make him the preferred option at shortstop over Stott.

Castillo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Castillo was in the lineup for both of Saturday's games, but his damage came in the first inning of the latter contest when he took Phillip Diehl yard for his second homer of the season. Castillo has earned a near everyday role in Pittsburgh, thanks in large part to his defensive versatility. He hasn't had an inspiring start to the season by maintaining a .254/.282/.358 line across 63 plate appearances, though he has only a 19.7 percent strikeout rate.

Berti landed on the injured list for undisclosed reasons Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The Marlins didn't specify the reason for Berti's absence, nor did they specify which injured list he'd been placed on, which fits the pattern teams have used when a player lands on the COVID-19 injured list. Joe Dunand's contract was called up in a corresponding move to take Berti's spot as a utility infielder.

Wendle will sit Saturday against San Diego, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle hasn't made a single start against a southpaw this season, a trend that continues Saturday against Sean Manaea. Joe Dunand will make his major-league debut at third base.

Crawford will hit the bench against lefty Steven Matz and the Cardinals on Saturday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Crawford is nowhere near a platoon risk, as Saturday's game marks just his second time out of the lineup all season, though his rare days off will likely continue to come against southpaws. Mauricio Dubon will be the shortstop in his absence.

Crawford went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Cardinals.

Crawford has hit safely in six of his last eight games, though Friday was his first multi-hit effort in that span. He's 7-for-27 (.259) with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored during that stretch. He started the season cold, but the recent uptick in success has lifted his slash line to .236/.333/.360 in 102 plate appearances.
