Camargo went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Phillies.

Camargo led off the second inning with a double, but was ultimately stranded at third base. He took matters into his own hands to lead off the eighth inning with a solo home run, his seventh homer of the season. Tuesday marked Camargo's first start since Aug. 15, and his .234/.280/.385 line in 97 games is nothing noteworthy.

Seager went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI against the Orioles on Tuesday.

Seager paced the Dodgers' offense, first driving a 419-foot three-run homer in the first frame. He followed that up with a two-run shot just two innings later, bringing his season total to 16. While his overall body of work has been a disappointment, Seager now has three long balls in his past seven starts. He'll look to keep improving on his .263/.329/.463 line to close the campaign.

Crawford (hamstring) has shown significant improvement and could return to action as early as this weekend, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

GM Jerry DiPoto said Sept. 4 that Crawford would be sidelined for at least two weeks, but he's since demonstrated major improvement to lead to the shortened timeline. The Mariners are still likely to remain cautious with the 24-year-old's return with the playoffs out of the question.

Arcia (personal) will rejoin the Brewers on Thursday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Previous reports held that Arcia would return from the paternity list Wednesday. He'll apparently be flying to meet up with the team that day but won't be back in the lineup until the following day. Hernan Perez has been starting at shortstop in his absence.

Correa (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa is expected to get a chance to take the field for Game 3 of Round Rock's playoff series, assuming all goes well over the next few days. His return date is still up in the air.

Bogaerts isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Bogaerts has been scuffling at the dish lately, finishing Boston's four-game series with New York just 2-for-16 with four strikeouts. Chris Owings starts at second base and will bat eighth Tuesday.

Although he projects to continue playing multiple positions, Edman is essentially locked into an everyday role for the balance of the regular season, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

The rookie has forced manager Mike Shildt's hand via his strong play with both the bat and glove. The switch-hitting Edman has acquitted himself well against both handedness of pitcher, but especially versus southpaws (.333/.362/.545 line over 69 plate appearances). Edman's extensive positional versatility has also made him a valued defensive asset, with perhaps no better example than when he played three different positions over three games during the Cardinals' back-to-back doubleheaders last week. The 24-year-old's contributions at the plate have been well-rounded, as he's hitting .278 with 25 extra-base hits (14 doubles, four triples, seven home runs), 27 RBI, 10 walks, 11 stolen bases and 42 runs over his first 267 big-league plate appearances.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Monday's 8-3 loss to Milwaukee.

Rojas' two-run single in the sixth inning pulled the Marlins within a run of Milwaukee but that would be short-lived. The 30-year-old shortstop has gone 5-for-10 over the last two days, bringing his season average to .287.

A hand specialist confirmed that Baez has a hairline fracture on his left thumb, and he's unlikely to play again in September, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Baez isn't expected to return to action before the regular season comes to an end, so he'll begin rehabbing with the hope of being activated for the playoffs, should the Cubs qualify. With Addison Russell still in concussion protocol, look for Nico Hoerner to see the majority of the playing time at shortstop down the stretch.

Correa (back) could make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa has missed just shy of three weeks with a sore back. The Astros are likely primarily concerned with getting him right for the playoffs, but it looks as though he'll be able to return for at least a handful of games prior to the end of the regular season.
