Bichette went 1-for-4 in his big-league debut Monday during a win over the Royals.

Getting the start at shortstop and hitting sixth, the 21-year-old also turned a nifty unassisted double play in the field and looked more than ready for the big leagues. The Jays' infield of the future is now in place with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bichette and Cavan Biggio all on the roster, and the club's fortunes will ride heavily on their development.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's 11-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

The infielder had only one homer through his first 97 games this season, but Rojas has now gone deep in three straight games, boosting his slash line on the year to .289/.344/.382. With the trade deadline looming, the 30-year-old has picked the right time to get hot if Miami is thinking about moving him.

Swanson (foot) went through pregame exercises on the field Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Swanson hasn't played since Tuesday due to a bruised foot. He showed no signs of the issue during Monday's workout. Both he and the Braves expect him back when first eligible Saturday.

Bichette had his contract purchased from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday and is starting at shortstop and hitting sixth against the Royals, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Bichette is set to make his highly-anticipated big-league debut after putting together a solid .275/.333/.473 triple-slash with eight home runs and 15 stolen bases in 56 games for Buffalo. With the well-regarded prospect immediately slotting in at shortstop, Freddy Galvis will man second base while Cavan Biggio starts at DH in Monday's series opener. Eric Sogard was traded to the Rays on Sunday, which freed up a roster spot for Bichette.

Camargo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

The 25-year-old has started four straight games with Dansby Swanson (foot) sidelined, but Sunday's blast has been Camargo's only hit during that stretch. He's now slashing a tepid .226/.255/.362 on the season with four homers and 23 RBI in 184 plate appearances, and should return to a bench role once Swanson is healthy.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over San Diego.

Crawford had gone 0-for-9 over his previous three contests, but he brought that brief cold streak to an end with his fourth multi-hit effort this month. The veteran shortstop has been playing his best ball in July, slashing .274/.369/.493 with four homers and 17 RBI across 20 games.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.

Bogaerts singled and scored Boston's first run on a homer off the bat of Andrew Benintendi in the fourth inning, then crossed the plate for the team's final run after singling and being driven home by Benintendi's hit in the ninth. The three-hit game capped a productive series in which Bogaerts went 9-for-20 with two homers, three doubles, five RBI and seven runs scored, bringing his slash line to an impressive .316/.398/.575 with 23 homers and 81 RBI in 467 plate appearances this season.

The Mariners acquired Castro from the Dodgers on Sunday in exchange for Kris Negron, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Castro has put together a .241/.304/.295 slash line with a home run and 11 RBI over 45 games this season for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He last surfaced in the big leagues during the 2018 campaign, though his stay lasted just 18 contests. He figures to be assigned to Triple-A Tacoma following Sunday's transaction and will serve as organizational depth.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Rojas kicked off the scoring in this one in the first inning with a solo homer to left field. Thought power isn't typically one of the 30-year-old's strengths, he's now left the yard in back-to-back contests, putting him at three home runs through 99 games this season.

Bichette will have his contract selected from Triple-A Buffalo prior to Monday's game against Kansas City, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Bichette has put together a .277/.336/.477 slash line with eight homers and 32 RBI over 55 games this season for Triple-A, and following Eric Sogard's departure, he'll get a shot to make his major-league debut. Freddy Galvis could be in danger of losing playing time at shortstop as a result.
