Camargo went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit, two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Nationals.

Camargo hit for A.J. Minter in the top of the 10th inning and took Tanner Rainey deep for his third homer of the season, putting the Braves ahead for good in the process. The utility man has performed well as a bench bat since the beginning of June, going 9-for-18 with five extra-base hits (four doubles and a home run), seven runs scored and five RBI in 14 appearances.

Baez went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead, three-run home run in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

Baez had the key hit of the game, as he launched his 19th home run of the season in the eighth inning off of Seth Lugo with two runners on, turning a 3-2 deficit into a 5-3 lead for the Cubs. The dynamic 26-year-old now has 51 RBI this season in 75 games to go with a strong .874 OPS.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with an RBI double, run and stolen base in an 8-3 victory against the Tigers on Sunday.

The 25-year-old missed the beginning of the season, but he's still on pace to finish with around 25 steals, the plateau he reached last year that set a new career high. Lindor is hitting .291 with 12 home runs, 27 RBI, 38 runs and 11 steals in 234 at-bats during 2019.

Wendle went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Athletics on Saturday.

Wendle had been mired in a slump of epic proportions prior to Saturday, as he'd gone 1-for-24 since returning from an extended stay on the injured list. The versatile infielder, known for his solid work at the plate in a professional career that dates back to 2012, seems to clearly have been hampered by the considerable disruption to his timing at the plate his wrist injury brought about. Wendle's prior body of work suggests that significant improvement on his current .120/.200/.140 line is forthcoming as the season unfolds.

Swanson went 2-for-5 with a walk, a double, a home run, three runs scored and four RBI in Saturday's 13-9 win over the Nationals.

His three-run shot off Joe Ross in the eighth inning broke a 9-9 tie and proved to be the winning hit on a wild night. Swanson has now tied his career high with 14 home runs, reaching the mark in 59 fewer games than he did last year.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers.

Anderson's three-run double in the first inning and later his sixth-inning homer gave the White Sox leads that they would squander. It was the eighth straight game in which Anderson has hit safely, as he's gone 13-for-36 (.361) with five extra-base hits and seven RBI during the run. His dominant April was impossible to sustain, but Anderson has kept up his average and is batting .320 through 67 games.

Herrera cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A New Orleans on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Herrera's .200/.288/.314 slash line understandably didn't stir up a ton of interest on the waiver wire. He'll remain as organizational depth for the Marlins.

Rojas will start at shortstop and lead off Saturday against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

At least for the time being, Rojas looks to be the Marlins' top option in the table-setting role, as he'll lead off for a fifth consecutive game. With no home runs in 275 plate appearances, Rojas brings little to no power to the table but has at least been somewhat useful in deeper mixed leagues and NL-only formats thanks to his five stolen bases and .274 batting average.

Adames went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the A's.

The shortstop also came up big in the field, throwing out Khris Davis at home in the sixth inning with a strong relay when the Oakland slugger attempted to score from first on a Jurickson Profar double. Adames is now slashing .254/.317/.387 on the year with seven homers, three steals, 21 RBI and 31 runs through 70 games.

Ahmed went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in an 11-5 loss to the Giants on Friday.

Ahmed, who left Thursday's game after getting hit by a pitch on his hand, was back in the lineup Friday and showed no ill effects from the hand contusion. The homer was Ahmed's sixth in 75 games.
