Story (foot) is back in the starting lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

Story was hit by a pitch Friday night and ended up getting scratched from Saturday's lineup due to what was described as a foot bruise. The injury doesn't appear to be a long-term concern, however, as Story will return to action after just one day on the shelf. Story, who is one of just four players in the National League with 60 or more RBI entering Sunday, will resume his regular role at shortstop and bat cleanup in the order.

Camargo went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Saturday against the Brewers.

Camargo came through with a timely single in the first inning to drive in both of his runs. He's now driven in eight runs in his past 10 games. The 24-year-old switch hitter has quietly put together a solid season, hitting .256/.355/.445 over 211 at-bats.

Baez went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and two RBI in Saturday's comeback win over the Reds.

Baez had a great afternoon, launching his 17th home run of the season in the seventh inning as part of a rally that saw the Cubs overcome a 7-2 deficit. The dynamic 25-year-old is now batting .294 with an .892 OPS, and he also has 15 steals, making him one of the most complete players in fantasy baseball.

Lopez was placed on the minor-league disabled list with a broken left thumb, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Lopez began the season as the youngest player in the Midwest League and has a .224/.280/.358 slash line with 80 strikeouts in 246 at-bats for Low-A Fort Wayne. It remains unclear how long the 18-year-old will be on the disabled list or whether he requires surgery, but the TinCaps should be without the young shortstop for the foreseeable future.

D'Arnaud's contract was purchased by the Giants on Saturday.

The 31-year-old has a .223/.278/.306 line in parts of six big-league seasons. He's a versatile player, appearing everywhere but catcher and pitcher over the course of his career, and he'll likely serve a utility role during his time with the club. Joe Panik was placed on the disabled list with a groin strain in a corresponding move.

Story was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Mariners, Nick Groke of The Athletic Denver reports.

Story was hit by a pitch Friday night. The official diagnosis for the 25-year-old is a right foot bruise, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Pat Valaika will take over at shortstop and bat seventh in the Rockies' reshuffled lineup.

DeJong went 1-for-3 with two runs in the Cardinals' 3-2 loss to the Giants on Friday.

It was a successful first game back from the disabled list for DeJong after recovering from a hand injury, as he made his first start since May 17. He's shown he's a very talented hitter dating back to last year, and he's got a strong .261/.351/.474 slash line through 153 at-bats to go along with eight long balls this season, so the 24-year-old can be safely deployed once again.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Brewers.

The shortstop is showing some signs of life at the plate, hitting .297 (11-for-37) over his last 10 games, although all 11 hits have been singles. Swanson's .249/.299/.406 slash line on the season is a slight improvement on last year's performance, but he's still only worth a roster spot in deep fantasy formats.

DeJong (hand) will start at shortstop and bat sixth Friday against the Giants, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

In his first start since May 17, DeJong will bat in the six hole against right-hander Dereck Rodriguez. He primarily hit sixth or seventh for the Cardinals before going down with the fractured left hand. Strikeouts remain an issue (29.2 percent this season), but DeJong was walking a lot more early on and the power is real. He has 33 homers in just 149 career games at the major-league level.

DeJong (hand) was activated from the 10-day disabled list prior to Friday's game against the Giants, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

He will presumably slot into the lineup in San Francisco. DeJong will wear a protective guard over his batting glove in an effort to avoid aggravating the injury. DeJong may not play every day, but he will be the Cardinals' primary shortstop going forward.
