Camargo (knee) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

Camargo has been shut down since June 7 due to a right knee strain but will return to game action with the Triple-A club. The 28-year-old is unlikely to require a lengthy rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Phillies.

Grissom went 4-for-7 with a double, two home runs, five runs scored and eight RBI for High-A Rome on Thursday in a 22-1 rout of Asheville.

The 21-year-old hit grand slams in consecutive innings as he powered the Rome offense to a huge win. Grissom has at least three hits in three straight games and has hit safely in 11 of 13 contests in June, posting a blistering .377/.431/.604 slash line with three homers, three steals, 13 RBI and 13 runs on the month while maintaining an excellent 13.8 percent strikeout rate. It may not be long before Atlanta's No. 2 fantasy prospect gets a promotion to Double-A.

Duran went 1-for-4 with a triple and three RBI in Thursday's 3-1 win over Detroit.

Duran delivered a bases-clearing, two-out triple off Tigers closer Gregory Soto in the top of the ninth inning to give the Rangers a lead that they protected in the bottom half of the frame. It was Texas' 15th come-from-behind victory in 2022. The rookie infielder keeps padding his MLB resume since being called up earlier this month. Duran, who had never played above Double-A at the time of his promotion, is slashing .319/.333/.553 with two home runs, one triple, three doubles, eight RBI, two stolen bases and eight runs scored over 12 games. The black hole that was third base is not an issue at the moment for Texas.

Crawford (illness) went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Angels.

Crawford prevented the Mariners from getting shut out by hitting an RBI double in the eighth inning. The shortstop missed two games while recovering from food poisoning, and he's now 2-for-12 across his last three contests after a hot start to June. The 27-year-old has maintained a .296/.374/.435 slash line with five home runs, three stolen bases, 16 RBI, 28 runs scored and 13 doubles through 59 games overall. He hit leadoff Thursday, and manager Scott Servais said Crawford is likely to remain atop the order going forward, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com.

Velazquez isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Seattle, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Velazquez started in the last six matchups but will get a breather after he went 0-for-7 with four strikeouts over the last three games. Tyler Wade is shifting to shortstop while Luis Rengifo starts at second base.

Bichette exited Thursday's game against the Orioles due to a right leg injury, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Bichette went 1-for-3 to begin Thursday's matchup, but he was replaced defensively in the top of the eighth inning. However, he underwent X-rays after the game that came back negative. The 24-year-old isn't expected to miss time, but the Blue Jays will see how he feels Friday before determining his status for the series opener against the Yankees.

Crawford (illness) is starting Thursday's game against the Angels.

Crawford missed the last two games due to food poisoning but will start at shortstop and lead off during Thursday's series opener against the Angels. Prior to the absence, he hit .333 with two doubles, five runs, two RBI and two stolen bases over his last eight games.

Manager Kevin Cash said Thursday that Franco (quadriceps) is running well and will go through full workouts Thursday and Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Franco resumed agility work Monday and has made good progress in his recovery over the last couples days. As long as he feels good during his workouts to close out the week, Cash said the 21-year-old could serve as the designated hitter in a Florida Coast League game Saturday.

Tena (undisclosed) has gone 1-for-4 with a double in his two games since returning to action Sunday for Double-A Akron.

Tena missed only a few days after he was scratched from Akron's lineup last Thursday due to an unspecified issue.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs in Wednesday's win against the Angels.

Turner accounted for the Dodgers' final run of the game with his third-inning solo shot off Reid Detmers. The long ball was his eighth of the season and extended his hitting streak to nine games. Over the nine-game stretch, Turner is slashing .314/.368/.571 with three homers, five RBI, seven runs and three stolen bases. The star shortstop had a 26-game hitting streak snapped less than two weeks ago.
