Camargo was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Camargo was the odd man out after the Phillies acquired Edmundo Sosa from the Cardinals on Saturday. Camargo has spent the majority of the season in the majors and was hitting .237/.297/.316 across 166 plate appearances.

Abrams (biceps) is starting at second base and hitting ninth Saturday against the Twins.

Ha-Seong Kim will start at shortstop while Jake Cronenworth gets the day off. Abrams, who officially exhausted his prospect status due to days on the active roster, is hitting .300/.313/.433 with one home run, zero steals, five strikeouts and zero walks in 30 at-bats this month. He's expected to serve as a super-utility option for the Padres moving forward, with the role likely to translate to a handful of starts per week.

DeJong was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

DeJong has been in the minors since May 10, and he slashed .249/.313/.552 with 17 home runs, 54 RBI, 36 runs and a stolen base over 51 games in Memphis. The 28-year-old will rejoin the active roster after Edmundo Sosa was traded to the Phillies on Saturday.

Cruz isn't starting Saturday against the Phillies.

Cruz started the last six games and hit .217 with two home runs, five RBI, a walk and six strikeouts. Kevin Newman will take his place at shortstop while Diego Castillo starts at second base.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.

Perdomo fifth-inning blast was his third of the season and first since June 15, snapping a span of 32 contests without a homer. The rookie shortstop has just 12 extra-base hits and is slugging .277 (.074 ISO) over 90 games.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 win over Washington.

Edman singled, stole second and crossed home in the third inning. He's up to 21 stolen bases on the year but just two of those have come over the last 23 games. The 27-year-old is slashing .256/.322/.370 with 66 runs scored and 27 extra-base hits through 98 games. Since his last home run June 14, Edman has gone 30-for-144 (.208) with nine RBI and 33 strikeouts.

Arroyo was traded from the Mariners to the Reds on Friday along with Noelvi Marte, Andrew Moore and Levi Stoudt in exchange for Luis Castillo, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Arroyo has improved his prospect stock as much as any teenager from the 2021 draft class this season. A switch-hitting shortstop who turns 19 on Aug. 25, Arroyo is hitting .316/.385/.514 with 13 home runs and 21 steals in 87 games at Low-A. Marte, the other headliner in the deal, may end up at third base, and the Reds also have Elly De La Cruz as a potential shortstop of the future, so Arroyo could end up moving to second base or the outfield in time, as he is athletic enough to play anywhere.

Marte was traded from the Mariners to the Reds on Friday along with Edwin Arroyo, Andrew Moore and Levi Stoudt in exchange for Luis Castillo, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

After a slow start, Marte has heated up over the past couple months and is hitting .270/.360/.460 with 15 home runs, 12 steals, a 10.8 BB% and a 21.1 K% in 84 games at High-A. Marte will face a tough test when he gets bumped to Double-A, possibly before the end of this season. The 6-foot-1 infielder will likely end up at third base long term, although he has only played shortstop thus far in pro ball.

Crawford (knee) is nearly pain free and could be close to starting a rehab assignment, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

He was cleared for a running program at the beginning of the week, and it sounds like Crawford could head out on a rehab assignment in the coming days. The veteran shortstop slashed .215/.297/.332 with five home runs and one steals in 72 games before being placed on the IL just before the All-Star break.

Abrams (biceps) isn't starting Friday against the Twins.

Abrams is out of the lineup for a fifth consecutive game as he continues to deal with a biceps injury, but it's not yet clear whether he'll ultimately require a trip to the injured list. Ha-Seong Kim is starting at shortstop and batting eighth.
