Rojas went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Monday's win over the Giants.

The multi-hit game and the RBI were his first since May 28, as Rojas went a putrid 6-for-53 (.113) between those performances. JT Riddle hasn't done much at the plate since rejoining the Marlins, but Rojas' own .651 OPS isn't exactly demanding more playing time at shortstop, either.

Baez (elbow) is out of the lineup for Game 1 of the Cubs' doubleheader Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Though Monday's postponement provided Baez with an extra day to recover from his bruised left elbow, it's unclear if he'll be available for either half of the twin bill. For Game 1, the Cubs will roll with the lineup they initially intended to use Monday.

DeJong (hand) traveled with the team to Philadelphia and his hoping to resume batting practice by the end of this week, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

DeJong has been progressively ramping up his activity, and he began swinging off a tee last Saturday for the first time since undergoing his hand surgery. The 24-year-old will also eventually need a minor-league rehab assignment prior to activation, with the affiliate and duration to be determined.

Rojas (hand) is starting at shortstop and hitting seventh Monday against the Giants, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas is back in action after missing the previous two games with a bruised hand. The 29-year-old, who is hitting just .230/.298/.347 through 70 games this season, will face lefty Andrew Suarez in his first game back.

Baez (elbow) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

As expected, Baez will head to the bench for Monday's series opener as he continues to nurse an elbow injury. The injury isn't thought to be anything more than a bruise, so he should be considered day-to-day. Ben Zobrist is starting at the keystone in his stead.

Baez (elbow) acknowledged that he's unlikely to play Monday against the Dodgers, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports. "I probably need another day," the infielder said.

Baez exited Sunday's game against the Cardinals after getting hit by a pitch in the elbow, and while the injury isn't believed to be anything overly serious, it sounds like he'll miss at least one game as a result. Look for Ben Zobrist or Tommy La Stella to start at second base in his stead.

Crawford flew to Arizona following Sunday's win over the Dodgers to be with his wife for the birth of their fourth child. He will miss the allotted three games before rejoining the club, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Fantasy owners will have to make do without Crawford's services. He is slashing .315/.370/.492 with eight homers and 32 RBI through 70 games this season. Alen Hanson figures to be the main benefactor of playing time at short until Crawford returns to the lineup Thursday against the Padres.

Camargo went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 4-1 victory over the Padres.

Camargo helped Atlanta to a two-run lead by plating a pair on a double in the fourth inning. Despite driving in two key runs, he's struggled at the plate through 50 games this season, batting .221 with six homers, 25 RBI and a .341 OBP.

Baez's (elbow) injury doesn't appear to be overly serious, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Manager Joe Maddon stated Baez's elbow went numb after getting hit by a pitch during Sunday's matchup with St. Louis, although he doesn't believe the injury to be significant, per Wittenmyer. The Cubs are initially diagnosing the injury as a left elbow bruise, and they'll reevaluate Baez on Monday prior to Chicago's series opener against the Dodgers, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

Baez exited Sunday's tilt against the Cardinals after getting hit by a pitch near his left elbow, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

Baez received medical attention after being drilled by a pitch in the third inning, and he ultimately left the game, although the extent of the injury remains unknown. Addison Russell replaced Baez at shortstop following the injury.
