Wendle (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle has been on the injured list since May 13 but is ready to return after logging seven at-bats during a rehab stint. He should find regular at-bats with both Jon Berti (illness) and Jazz Chisholm (hamstring) sidelined in the short term, though a timeshare at third base with Brian Anderson is most likely moving forward. Prior to going down, Wendle had maintained a .304/.368/.456 line with two home runs, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored across 87 plate appearances.

Arcia was added to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.

For a second straight game, Arcia is a late addition to Atlanta's lineup. He'll start in left field and bat eighth after Marcell Ozuna (abdomen) was removed from Thursday's lineup. Arcia went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a run, an RBI and a walk in Wednesday's win over Philadelphia.

Camargo isn't starting Thursday against Atlanta.

After starting in two straight games to begin the week, Camargo will be on the bench for a second consecutive matchup while Bryson Stott starts at shortstop and bats ninth. Camargo has gone 4-for-13 with a run, two walks and five strikeouts over his last five games.

Chang was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Thursday.

Chang was reinstated from the 10-day injured list May 13, but he appeared in just one game since then. The 26-year-old will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster to make room for Oscar Gonzalez, whose contract was selected by Cleveland on Thursday. Chang played in 89 games for the Guardians last year, and he'll likely report to Triple-A Columbus if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Williams was traded from the Giants to the Marlins in exchange for Hayden Cantrelle on Thursday.

Williams was designated for assignment by San Francisco last weekend, and he'll now attempt to carve out a role with a new organization. The 25-year-old has appeared in 66 games between the Phillies and Giants over the last two years, and he's hit .245 with a homer, five doubles, nine runs and nine RBI. Williams will likely report to Triple-A Jacksonville following Thursday's trade.

Amaya is hitting .315/.420/.653 with nine homers, two steals and a 24:18 BB:K for Double-A Tulsa.

He's also averaging nearly a run per game -- 31 in 34 contests. The 23-year-old didn't come into the season with a reputation as a power hitter -- he socked just 12 homers with a .343 slugging percentage in 113 Double-A games last year -- but he's certainly muscled up this season. Amaya has always been considered an excellent defender, which should help punch his ticket to the big leagues as soon as next season, though his long-term outlook will hinge on whether he can carry this season's impressive power gains forward. At worst, he's an excellent utility infielder, but if he can keep hitting like this, he's got chance to be considerably more than that.

Franco went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and an RBI on Wednesday against the Marlins.

Franco did most of his damage in the opening frame, smacking an RBI double and coming around to score. It marked his first multi-hit effort since May 9, during which time he hit just .051 with one RBI and three runs scored in 11 starts. Overall, Franco has maintained a .267/.294/.422 line across 170 plate appearances.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Nationals.

Moved up into the leadoff spot with Mookie Betts getting a breather, Turner did what he could to get the Dodgers on the board, but his teammates couldn't find a timely hit. The shortstop is up to 10 steals on the season to go with his .289/.356/.422 slash line, three homers, 19 runs and 34 RBI through 43 games.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Wednesday against the Giants.

Lindor was one of the few bright spots for the Mets, as he went yard in the sixth inning to record his eighth homer of the season. He has three home runs in his last 11 starts, also collecting 12 RBI and 13 runs scored in that span. Overall, Lindor has a .250/.337/.443 line across 205 plate appearances this season.

Swanson went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, two runs and two RBI in Wednesday's victory over the Phillies.

Swanson notched an RBI single off Ranger Suarez in the bottom of the second frame, singled and scored on a wild pitch in the fifth inning and then launched a solo homer in his following at-bat in the sixth. The long ball was his sixth of the season and fifth in May. He later added another single and the four-hit effort was his third consecutive multi-hit game. Swanson has put together an eight-game hit streak, batting .438 with three extra-base hits, four runs, seven RBI and two stolen bases over that stretch.
