Crawford is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Manager Bruce Bochy is employing a righty-heavy lineup with stud southpaw Clayton Kershaw toeing the rubber for Los Angeles, so Crawford will get the day off. Christian Arroyo will slide over to shortstop to fill in for him.

Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

With Adonis Garcia (Achilles) landing on the disabled list Tuesday, Camargo will head back to the big leagues to offer some infield depth. It's unclear if the 23-year-old will see regular playing time at the hot corner or if either Jace Peterson or Danny Santana will receive most of the reps there, but Camargo's .307/.340/.466 slash line in the minors this season certainly bodes well for his stock while he's in the big leagues.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

The homer was his third of the season and first since April 29. Swanson has now put together an eight-game hitting streak, during which he's hitting .345 (10-for-29) with six RBI, and while his strikeouts remain an issue -- he's whiffed 11 times during that stretch -- it's reassuring to see the rookie start to dig himself out of his early-season hole.

Story (shoulder) expects to perform his normal pregame workout routine Wednesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

The power-hitting shortstop began taking dry swings Tuesday and also fielded ground balls, both signs that he's on the upswing of his recovery process. Story also commented that he feels "pretty much back to normal," so as long as Wednesday's program goes off without a hitch, a brief rehab stint could be on tap sometime in the coming days.

Owings singled twice in four at-bats to go with an RBI and his ninth stolen base of the season in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Mets.

Owings' steal was one of three on the evening for the Diamondbacks, who lead the majors in that category. Even if first-year manager Torey Lovullo had been less willing to regularly give Owings the green light on the basepaths, the 25-year-old would still be on track for a breakout campaign thanks to his performance at the dish. Tuesday marked Owings' second game in a row with exactly two hits, boosting his batting average to a robust .321 on the season.

Seager is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Seager will take a seat for the first time all month as the Giants send lefty-throwing Ty Blach to the mound. It appears to be a routine day of rest for Seager, who is 0-for-5 in his career against Blach. Enrique Hernandez will draw the start at shortstop in his stead.

Story (shoulder) took dry swings Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Story tested his range of motion by practicing his swing under the watchful eye of the Rockies' training staff. At this point in time, the club has yet to indicate when Story is expected to return, but more information should become available as he increases his level of activity. While Story is out, look for Pat Valaika to remain at shortstop.

Arcia is not in the lineup Monday against the Padres.

Despite riding a three-game hitting streak into Monday's contest, Arcia will take a seat in favor of Eric Sogard. While he's started to pick it up at the plate recently, the 22-year-old is still slashing just .222/.272/.376 through 35 games this season.

Rojas, who is on the 60-day disabled list with a broken thumb, is expected to have his cast removed sometime next week, Tim Healey of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

This will mark the first big step in Rojas' recovery process after he underwent surgery last week to repair the fracture. Barring any setbacks, the 28-year-old is still eyeing a return right around the All-Star break. A firmer timetable for his return should become available as he returns to baseball activities.

Ahmed went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Pirates in 10 innings.

Ahmed has had quite the homestand thus far, despite appearing in only four of the Diamondbacks' last six games. He's had multi-hit efforts in two of his three starts and reached base twice Sunday while notching his first stolen base since April 20. Ahmed still looks like he'll primarily serve in a backup capacity at second base or shortstop while Chris Owings and Brandon Drury are healthy, but Owings' ability to swing over to the corner outfield should allow Ahmed to pick up a handful of starts most weeks.
