Camargo will start in left field and bat sixth Wednesday against the Cubs.

Camargo serves as the Braves' utility man as he's capable of manning every infield position and sliding into the outfield as is the case Wednesday. He'll fill in for Ender Inciarte in left field with Jon Lester taking the hill for the Cubs. Camargo has five plate appearances so far this year, going 0-for-4 with a walk.

Adrianza is hitting eighth and starting at shortstop Wednesday against Kansas City, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Jonathan Schoop will have the day off Wednesday, which gives Adrianza his first start of the year. Adrianza will be the main middle-infield utility reserve with Marwin Gonzalez starting the year as the primary third baseman, so if either Schoop or shortstop Jorge Polanco go down, Adrianza should be the next man up.

Anderson (paternity) says he will play in Thursday's home opener against the Mariners, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

The White Sox placed Anderson on the paternity list Wednesday, despite the fact he had been away from the team since Monday, and while he could wait until this weekend to return, it sounds like Anderson is intent on getting back for the home opener. Jose Rondon is starting at shortstop and hitting seventh Wednesday.

The Nationals placed Turner (finger) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Infielder Adrian Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Fresno in a corresponding move, but Wilmer Difo is expected to serve as the Nationals' everyday shortstop while Turner is out indefinitely with a broken right index finger. A firm timeline for Turner's return may not be established until he's re-evaluated by doctors, but general manager Mike Rizzo noted Wednesday that the fact that Turner suffered a clean break of the finger on his throwing hand may necessitate a longer recovery, per Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic. Rizzo suggested that Turner would likely need more time to heal than the three weeks teammate Matt Adams required after breaking a finger in 2018.

The White Sox placed Anderson (personal) on the paternity list Wednesday.

Anderson was scratched from the lineup for Monday's series opener after his wife went into labor, but that won't count toward his paternity leave. With the White Sox waiting until Wednesday to make a roster move, Anderson will now have up to three days to spend with his wife and newborn. Assuming he takes the maximum amount of time off, Anderson should check back into the starting nine for Saturday's home game against the Mariners. Yolmer Sanchez will fill in for Anderson at shortstop Wednesday.

Mondesi went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Twins.

The homer was of the inside-the-park variety, as Mondesi launched a ball to the deepest part of center field in the eighth inning and raced around the bases after Byron Buxton couldn't flag it down. The home run and steal were each the first of the season for the shortstop, but fantasy GMs who bought into his hype this offseason will be expecting plenty more of each.

Turner was diagnosed with a broken right index finger after Tuesday's loss to the Phillies, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

Turner exited Tuesday's game after being struck by a pitch on a bunt attempt during the first inning. This is worst-case scenario for the Nationals as the 25-year-old is now likely headed to the injured list for a significant absence, though he has no official timetable for his return. Wilmer Difo will likely be called upon to fill in at shortstop in the short term.

Arcia went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in an 4-3 win over the Reds on Tuesday.

Arcia's sixth-inning opposite field shot off Michael Lorenzen broke a 1-1 tie and lifted the Brewers to a three-run lead. It was a welcome hit for Arcia, as he entered the game 0-for-14 on the season. He's still not expected to provide much power after connecting for just three homers in 348 at-bats in 2018.

Turner will undergo X-rays on his finger after being struck by a pitch Tuesday against the Phillies, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Turner was hit on what appeared to be his right index finger on a bunt attempt during his first at-bat of the game and exited after a brief consultation with the athletic trainer. Wilmer Difo entered the game at shortstop in what is a concerning development for the Nationals.

Turner left Tuesday's game against the Phillies after being hit by a pitch on what appeared to be his right index finger, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

Turner has been on fire at the plate to start the season as he is 5-for-13 with two home runs and four stolen bases through three games. The severity of the injury remains unclear.
