Camargo (hamstring) went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Mets.

Camargo ended up only missing one game as he recovered from a mild hamstring strain. The 26-year-old played all 10 innings at third base and batted seventh in the contest. He scored on a William Contreras double in the 10th inning. Camargo's best path to at-bats will be at third base, but he has the defensive capabilities to serve in a utility role if he can't produce at the dish.

DeJong went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored during Saturday's 9-1 win over the Pirates.

The 26-year-old clubbed a clutch two-run homer during the eighth inning of Friday's opener, and he brought home two more runs during Saturday's contest. DeJong is 3-for-7 with three runs, four RBI and a walk over the first two games, and he'll look to cap off the series in style Sunday versus Pirates starter Mitch Keller.

Baez went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.

Baez went 0-for-4 in Friday's season opener but bounced back quickly. He remains one of the most potent offensive players in the league and should produce good counting stats in the heart of a strong Chicago lineup.

Crawford isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford went 1-for-5 over the first two games of the season and will get a day off Saturday. Mauricio Dubon will shift to shortstop with Darin Ruf entering the starting lineup at first base, batting fourth.

Seager went 3-for-4 with a double, a run and a walk in Friday's victory over San Francisco.

Seager tied for fourth in the majors with 44 doubles last season, and he has picked up where he left off by registering a two-bagger in each of his first two games in 2020. The 26-year-old has a favorable spot in the middle of the Dodgers' loaded lineup and based on pure talent alone could stake his claim as one of the league's most productive shortstops now that he is back to full health.

DeJong went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's victory over Pittsburgh.

DeJong belted a two-run shot to left field off Richard Rodriguez in the eighth inning for what proved to be important insurance runs in the Cardinals' 5-4 victory. The 26-year-old hit a career-high 30 homers last season and has averaged a healthy 24.6 long balls per season over the first three years of his career.

Mateo (illness) has cleared all health protocols but remains on the injured list, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Mateo tested positive earlier in the month, and while he's back to full health, the infielder still needs time to get back into game shape. Once he's ready to go, Mateo is a candidate to fill a utility infield role.

Mateo was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday.

Mateo has been unable to report to camp after testing positive for COVID-19 over two weeks ago. While the Padres were initially hopeful that the newly acquired infielder would be ready for Opening Day, it now appears he will miss multiple games at the start of the season.

Camargo's hamstring injury didn't seem like a problem during batting practice Wednesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Camargo suffered a mild hamstring strain during an intrasquad game over the weekend. The timing could send him to the injured list for a brief period, though it appears as if he's close to game action. With active rosters expanded to 30 players, it's possible Camargo could avoid the injured list if he's expected to be ready within a few days of Opening Day.

Rojas (wrist) is in the lineup for Tuesday's exhibition game against Atlanta.

Rojas suffered minor finger and wrist injuries during an intrasquad game last Tuesday, but he'll be ready to return for the team's first exhibition game. Barring any setbacks, the 31-year-old appears to be on the right track toward starting Opening Day against the Phillies on Friday.
