Ahmed is out of Friday's lineup against the Marlins.

He is hitting just .138 with two home runs over his last 29 at-bats. Ketel Marte will start at shortstop and hit sixth.

Herrera was designated for assignment by the Reds on Friday.

Herrera went 2-for-11 with five strikeouts in a brief stint with the Reds before returning to Triple-A on May 22. The addition of catcher Curt Casali -- acquired Thursday from Tampa Bay -- prompted the move. Herrera should remain at Triple-A Louisville, assuming he clears waivers.

Turner went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs scored Thursday against the Braves.

Turner stole a base each time he made it aboard Thursday, raising his total to 16 on the season. After going 12-for-12 in stolen base attempts in April, Turner attempted only five stolen bases in the month of May, in part because of an increased home-run output during that span.

Owings entered Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Reds in the sixth inning as a pinch hitter and finished 2-for-2 with a pair of singles.

Owings finished the three-game series with three hits, matching his total output from his previous 14 contests combined. Though Owings seems to be turning the corner a little bit after a prolonged dry spell, it appears the utility man's woeful .190/.252/.299 season line has prompted manager Torey Lovullo to explore other options in the outfield while the Diamondbacks aim to replace A.J. Pollock (thumb) and Steven Souza (pectoral). Rather than Owings, Jarrod Dyson and Socrates Brito seem to have emerged as Lovullo's preferred starters alongside everyday left fielder David Peralta.

Camargo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

The 24-year-old has homered in back-to-back games, giving him four on the season, and he's also hit safely in six of his last seven contests. Camargo will need to stay hot if he wants to hang onto the starting third base job for the Braves and keep top prospect Austin Riley down at Triple-A Gwinnett, however.

Baez went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Pirates.

Baez got his team on the board with an RBI single in the first inning, but the Cubs' offense fizzled from there. The 25-year-old now has a solid .271 average and .864 OPS to go along with a team-high 43 RBI.

Castro is hitting just .140 with the Rockies this season and hasn't started since May 23.

A hot start at Triple-A earned the versatile infielder a promotion in early May, but he's done little at the plate since joining the big-league team. Castro is making contact at an 84 percent clip, but he's doing little with the balls he puts in play. The Rockies recently called up Ryan McMahon to fill in for DJ LeMahieu (thumb) at second base, so Castro appears to be relegated to a full-time bench role once again.

Camargo went 2-for-5 with a walkoff solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's win over the Mets.

His ninth-inning blast off Gerson Bautista was Camargo's third homer of the year, and his first career walkoff shot. The 24-year-old now has a .296/.486/.519 slash line over his last 10 games with a stunning 9:3 BB:K. Until the Braves decide Austin Riley is ready to tackle the big leagues, the starting third base job should remain Camargo's.

Arcia is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Cardinals.

He was recalled from Triple-A ahead of this game less than a week after being optioned down. Tyler Saladino (ankle) landed on the disabled list, but it's not clear that the Brewers are ready to return Arcia to an everyday role, given that he is out of the lineup in his first game back. Eric Sogard is starting at shortstop and hitting seventh.

Arcia was brought up from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Wednesday.

Arcia figures to resume his role as the starter at shortstop with Tyler Saladino (ankle) forced to hit the shelf. The 23-year-old was sent down to the minors Friday after hitting just .194 with two home runs and 13 RBI through 44 games.
