Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Carmargo struggled coming out of the All-Star break with a .191/.267/.294 slash line in 23 games before being demoted in mid-August. The 25-year-old figures to step back into a utility role, though he'll likely be relied upon less than he was earlier in the season.

Chang will start at third base and bat ninth Sunday against the Rays.

Chang will man the hot corner for a fifth consecutive game and looks to hold the playing-time edge at the position over Mike Freeman. Though his first six games since rejoining the Tribe when Jose Ramirez (hand) was placed on the injured list, Chang has gone 5-for-17 with a triple, two walks and three runs.

Edman went 3-for-4 with two runs in a win over the Reds in the second game of a doubleheader Saturday.

Edman generated his third three-hit effort of the last six games in the nightcap, putting a fitting finish on a successful month at the plate. The rookie produced an impressive .308 average during August, boosting his season figure 22 points to .283 in the process.

Rojas (hamstring) was activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday and is leading off and starting at shortstop at Washington, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Rojas completed a five-game rehab stint between High-A Jupiter and Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday, clearing the way for his return to the majors. The 30-year-old had a .267/.309/.427 slash line in 22 games after the All-Star break before going down with the right hamstring strain.

The Royals reinstated Mondesi (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Orioles. He'll start at shortstop and bat second in the series finale, according to Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star.

The shortstop was sidelined for a month and a half with a dislocated left shoulder, interrupting what was shaping up to be a monstrous fantasy season. Even after the extended layoff, Mondesi still ranks tied for third in the majors with 31 stolen bases, but he may not offer as much of an impact in that category in September even though he's ostensibly healthy again. The Royals have reportedly discouraged Mondesi from diving so as to avoid an aggravation of the shoulder injury heading into the offseason, which could prompt the speedster to take a more conservative approach on the basepaths.

DeJong is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Reds.

DeJong started both games of Saturday's doubleheader and will sit Sunday's matinee after going 1-for-8 with a double, a run scored and an RBI. Yairo Munoz will start at shortstop and bat eighth in his absence.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in a 9-6 loss to the Rays on Saturday.

Lindor hit the two-run shot to right field during the eighth inning to help spark a late rally, but the Indians were unable to overcome a seven-run deficit. The 25-year-old has a .299/.350/.537 slash line with 26 home runs, 62 RBI and 19 stolen bases in 117 contests.

Velazquez (hamstring) was activated from the minor-league injured list Saturday.

Velazquez will finish out the minor-league season with Triple-A Columbus after missing a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury. Across 53 games at Triple-A this season, the 25-year-old is slashing .304/.357/.510 with six home runs and three stolen bases.

Crawford is not in the lineup Saturday against the Padres.

As expected, Crawford will get the day off with Mauricio Dubon getting the start at shortstop against lefty Joey Lucchesi in his stead. While the veteran infielder has struggled at the dish this season (.232/.302/.363 through 474 plate appearances), his defense has kept him in the lineup close to everyday.

Crawford is not in the lineup Saturday against the Rangers due to a hamstring injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Crawford apparently felt some tightness in his hamstring Thursday and tweaked it again Friday, prompting the Mariners to give him the day off Saturday. Dylan Moore is starting at shortstop in place of Crawford, who is hoping to return to the lineup in a day or two, per Divish.
