  • Phillies' Johan Camargo: Placed on 10-day IL

    Camargo was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right knee strain Wednesday, retroactive to June 26.

    Camargo dealt with a right knee sprain earlier this month that forced him to miss two weeks, but he played in three games after returning from the injured list. However, he was out of the lineup for each of the last two matchups and will head back to the IL due to his knee strain. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but Darick Hall's contract was selected from Triple-A Lehigh Valley as part of a corresponding move Wednesday.

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: Takes seat Wednesday

    Arcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.

    Phil Gosselin will check in at the keystone for Arcia, who has taken over as a full-time starter at the position since Ozzie Albies fractured his foot June 13. Arcia had started in each of Atlanta's last eight games, going 5-for-30 with two runs and an RBI during that stretch.

  • Tommy Edman LF | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Steals 19th base in two-hit night

    Edman went 2-for-4 with one RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in a 5-3 win over the Marlins on Tuesday.

    Edman now has 19 stolen bases to tie him for second best in MLB. The prototypical leadoff hitter is also getting on base at a .342 clip and has come around to score 58 times in 2022, putting him second only to the Yankees' Aaron Judge in the latter category. Edman is delivering on his potential and is on pace for career highs in both offensive categories.

  • Diego Castillo 3B | MIN

    Pirates' Diego Castillo: Slugs eighth homer

    Castillo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Nationals.

    Castillo continued to display power, mashing his fifth home run in his last eight starts. He has eight home runs on the season but is still hitting just .195/.236/.357 across 199 plate appearances. The return of Josh VanMeter has crowded the team's infield, though Castillo drew the start in right field Tuesday at the expense of Bligh Madris.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Dodgers' Trea Turner: Launches 11th homer

    Turner went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 7-4 loss to the Rockies on Tuesday.

    Turner took advantage of the thin Colorado air to hit his 11th home run of the season. The consensus first-round fantasy pick heading into the season has been consistent all year long, and he now has 54 RBI to go along with 15 stolen bases and an elite .311 batting average, the latter figure good for 14th in MLB.

  • Jose Salas SS | MIN

    Marlins' Jose Salas: Heads to High-A

    The Marlins promoted Salas from Single-A Jupiter to High-A Beloit on Tuesday.

    Salas turned in a .267/.355/.421 slash line in 257 plate appearances on Jupiter fo the season, but he had really heated up at the plate in June, as he produced a .993 OPS over his 21 games on the month. The 19-year-old switch hitter was also efficient on the basepaths, nabbing 15 steals on 16 attempts. The Marlins had been giving Salas exposure to multiple positions at Jupiter, with the teenager receiving starts at second base, shortstop and third base.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Day off Tuesday

    Perdomo will sit Tuesday against the Padres.

    Perdomo sits after going hitless in his last nine games. Jake Hager will take over at shortstop.

  • Oneil Cruz CF | PIT

    Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Slugs second career homer

    Cruz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday against the Nationals.

    Cruz occupied the leadoff spot for the Pirates and smacked his first homer of 2022 in the fifth inning against Erick Fedde. He has delivered production in line with his promising tools across eight games in Pittsburgh by racking up four extra-base hits, driving in eight, scoring five runs and swiping a base.

  • Tommy Edman LF | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Collects 18th steal

    Edman went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 9-0 rout of the Marlins.

    The 27-year-old infielder is in a bit of a funk at the plate, batting .147 (5-for-34) over the last eight games, but he's still maintained fantasy value with three steals. Edman is up to 18 stolen base on the season to go along with a .269/.340/.398 slash line, seven homers, 31 RBI and 56 runs through 74 contests.

  • Jon Berti 3B | CHC

    Marlins' Jon Berti: Snags 22nd steal

    Berti went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 9-0 loss to the Cardinals.

    Brian Anderson made his return to action Monday and got the start at third base, but Berti slid over to second base and hit leadoff in the contest with Jazz Chisholm (undisclosed) getting another day off. Berti has hit safely in 11 straight starts, batting .356 (16-for-45) over that stretch with 10 of his 22 steals on the season.
