Castillo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Brewers.

The rookie infielder took Eric Lauer deep in the top of the fourth inning for his first long ball in the majors. Castillo has been seeing most of his action at second base, and the 24-year-old is batting .310 (9-for-29) through his first eight big-league games as he auditions to potentially be the future double play partner for Oneil Cruz.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and three RBI against Atlanta in a 7-4 win Monday.

Turner broke the game open with his fourth-inning, bases-clearing double that doubled the Dodgers' lead from three runs to six. The speedy shortstop had previously swiped his third bag of the campaign following a third-inning fielder's choice. Turner is living up to the lofty fantasy draft position he garnered in most leagues this season, slashing .310/.333/.452 with a home run, 10 RBI, six runs and three stolen bases through 45 plate appearances.

Abrams will be on the bench Monday against Cincinnati, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Abrams has started against every righty the Padres have faced this season but has been on the bench against every lefty, including Monday's starter Nick Lodolo. Ha-Seong Kim will start at shortstop.

Camargo isn't starting Monday against Colorado, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Camargo will get a breather after hitting .217 with two doubles, two RBI and a walk in the last six games. Alec Bohm will start at the hot corner and bat sixth.

Schwellenbach (elbow) announced Monday via his personal Twitter account that he's been cleared to play catch off flat ground.

Schwellenbach's light catch session Monday at extended spring training marked his first time throwing since undergoing Tommy John surgery last August. Due to the timing of his procedure along with the fact that Atlanta plans to develop him as a starter, the 2021 second-round pick may not be cleared to make his professional debut until the final month of this season or potentially 2023.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

The veteran shortstop has had a sluggish start to the year at the plate but seems to be coming around. going 4-for-12 over the last three games with his first two RBI of 2022. Rojas is valued as a clubhouse presence by the Marlins, but he's not without fantasy utility after delivering nine homers and 13 steals over 132 games last season.

De La Cruz is hitting .240/.296/.440 with a homer and three steals through seven games with High-A Dayton.

His increased willingness to run is certainly promising, but it is a bit troubling that Cruz has struck out 12 times in 27 plate appearances. We saw plenty of swing-and-miss in his game last year, and he seemingly hasn't improved on that front. De La Cruz was one of last season's biggest prospect risers thanks to his outstanding power-speed combo; he just needs to make more contact for those tools to play up.

DeJong went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Brewers.

DeJong's stolen base came after he got aboard on a fielder's choice in the fourth inning. It was the shortstop's first steal of the season. He's seen a starting role while hitting in the bottom third of the lineup, but he's posted a .167/.286/.375 slash line with a home run, two doubles, three RBI and a run scored through eight games. He'll need to do more with the bat to hold off Edmundo Sosa for playing time, especially with Tommy Edman hitting well and blocking Sosa's path to starts at second base.

Berti is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Berti made his third start in the Marlins' eight games this season in Saturday's 10-3 loss, going 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored. The speedy 32-year-old is expected to continue working in a utility role for Miami this season, with most of his starting opportunities coming when the Marlins want to rest one of their two lefty-hitting everyday infielders -- Jazz Chisholm and Joey Wendle -- against a lefty starting pitcher.

Camargo will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Marlins, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Heading into the season, Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm were expected to vie for most of the starts at third base, but Camargo might have leapfrogged both players on the depth chart at this stage. Camargo will stick in the lineup for the sixth game in a row, with five of his starts coming at third base. Stott, meanwhile, had started in each of the previous five games, with his last three assignments coming at the keystone while Jean Segura (hand) was sidelined. With Segura back in action Sunday, however, Stott will head to the bench while Camargo sticks at the hot corner after producing a .724 OPS through his first 24 plate appearances of the season.
