Camargo was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a fractured right shin.

The team downplayed the injury after Camargo exited Wednesday's contest when he fouled a ball off himself, but he now looks to be facing an extended absence. The Braves expect him back in around three weeks but have yet to rule him out for the rest of the season, per Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, though it's difficult to imagine he'll have enough time to get back up to speed to make the postseason roster for the first round.

Story is not in Thursday's lineup against the Cardinals.

He had started 17 games in a row, hitting .296 with two home runs and two steals over that stretch. Garrett Hampson will start at shortstop and lead off.

Edman is not in Thursday's lineup against the Rockies.

He is hitting .250 with two home runs and two steals in 11 games this month. Matt Carpenter will start at third base and hit fifth.

Arcia was reinstated from the paternity list prior to Thursday's game against the Marlins. He is starting at shortstop and batting eighth.

As expected, he is back in the fold after missing three games following the birth of his twin daughters. Arcia should get the bulk of the starts at shortstop down the stretch, but he will likely sit occasionally in favor of Hernan Perez.

Downs went 4-for-5 with three solo home runs and a double for Double-A Tulsa in Game 2 of the Texas League Championship Series on Wednesday.

Downs upped his postseason batting average to .344 (11-for-32) in the 18-9 rout while raising his long-ball total to eight in his first 19 Double-A games (regular season and postseason combined). The 21-year-old was acquired from the Reds last December and has quickly become one of the top prospects in the Dodgers organization by slashing .276/.362/.526 with 24 homers, 86 RBI and 24 steals in 119 games between High-A Rancho Cucamonga and Double-A Tulsa this season.

Camargo (lower leg) was sporting crutches after Wednesday's game but is only expected to be sidelined a couple days, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Camargo suffered a right shin bruise Wednesday after fouling a ball off himself, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury. Adeiny Hechavarria and Charlie Culberson should serve as the primary utility players for the Braves while he's sidelined.

Camargo exited Wednesday's game at Philadelphia with a right shin contusion.

The 25-year-old fouled a ball off his right shin during the fourth inning and was unable to put any weight on the leg when he was helped off the field. Camargo should be considered day-to-day until more is known on the injury.

Camargo was removed from Wednesday's game against the Phillies after fouling a ball off his right knee area, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Camargo appeared to be in significant pain and wasn't able to put any weight on his right light as he was helped off the field. The 25-year-old was starting his second straight game after going 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and two runs scored Tuesday.

Rojas is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Brewers.

He is 7-for-32 (.219) with one home run and one steal in seven games this month. Jon Berti is starting at shortstop and hitting leadoff.

Camargo went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Phillies.

Camargo led off the second inning with a double, but was ultimately stranded at third base. He took matters into his own hands to lead off the eighth inning with a solo home run, his seventh homer of the season. Tuesday marked Camargo's first start since Aug. 15, and his .234/.280/.385 line in 97 games is nothing noteworthy.
