Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

He has gone back and forth between Triple-A and the big leagues this season -- a trend that is likely to continue, as he simply serves as bench depth when he is up with Atlanta. He has a .311/.353/.500 slash line with four home runs in 134 plate appearances at Triple-A.

Ahmed went 3-for-4 with a triple and two RBI in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Marlins.

After hitting a go-ahead homer in Wednesday's 14-inning win over the Pirates, Ahmed remained hot at the dish in the series opener Thursday, turning in his fourth multi-hit performance in five starts. No hit was more clutch than Ahmed's two-run single in the eighth inning, which gave the Diamondbacks the lead for the first time in the game. Ahmed was starting at shortstop with Chris Owings receiving the day off, but because Owings is capable of playing second base or the corner outfield, manager Torey Lovullo can still find a way to keep Ahmed's bat in the lineup so long as he continues to sizzle.

Baez went 1-for-3 with a RBI in a 2-1 loss to the Padres on Wednesday.

Chicago's offense as a whole has been dormant lately, which limits the potential of players like Baez near the bottom of the order. The Cubs have too many good hitters to stay sluggish for long, though, so the runs and RBI should start coming for Baez and others.

Ahmed went 2-for-6 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Pirates in 14 innings.

The 11th-inning home run was Ahmed's fifth of the season, exceeding his output from 2016 in nearly 200 fewer plate appearances. The Diamondbacks still value Ahmed for his reliable glove in the middle infield first and foremost, but the former fantasy afterthought has become a viable depth option in NL-only and deeper mixed leagues. Though Ahmed won't enjoy a full-time role while the Diamondbacks' regulars are relatively healthy, he should continue to receive three or four starts per week.

Owings went 2-for-6 with an RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Pirates in 14 innings.

Owings played the hero in a game that lasted four hours and 40 minutes, driving in the go-ahead run in the top of the 14th on base hit. With the Diamondbacks back on the schedule Thursday in Miami, it wouldn't be a surprise if manager Torey Lovullo decided to rest some of his key regulars following the marathon victory, but since Owings just had a day off Sunday, he might not require a breather.

Adames, 21, is hitting .230/.309/.344 with two home runs, 21 RBI and three steals through 46 games at Triple-A.

Adames has struggled to make contact this season, fanning 50 times in those 46 games. With Tim Beckham finally starting to hit and Daniel Robertson proving a capable backup, there does not appear to be a place for Adames right now at the big league level. As a result, he will continue to bide his time at Triple-A.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with his 12th homer Wednesday, accounting for all of Cleveland's scoring in a 3-1 loss to the A's.

His batting average is lingering at .276, thanks in no small part to an identical .276 BABIP -- a far lower figure than the .348 and .324 marks Lindor posted in his first two seasons. There's a detectable reason for that, though -- Lindor's hitting the ball in the air at the highest rate of his career by a huge margin. He's also making more hard contact than ever, so the stats seem to indicate that Lindor is selling out to hit homers, but if that's indeed his goal, he's managing to accomplish it without sacrificing his contact abilities. That suggests he'll be able to pull his average up while continuing to hit for power; he'll more than likely exceed last season's career-best 15 homers well before the All-Star break.

Correa went 3-for-6 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Wednesday's 17-6 rout of the Twins.

His first-inning blast, Correa's ninth homer of the season and third in the last week, got the Astros started on what wound up being a six-homer, 19-hit attack. The 22-year-old shortstop is well on his way to a career season, sporting a .316/.390/.524 slash line through 48 games.

DeJong will start at second base and bat seventh Wednesday against the Dodgers.

DeJong has kicked off his major-league career with three hits in eight at-bats, and it appears manager Mike Matheny is content to keep the youngster in the lineup while his bat remains hot and Kolten Wong (elbow) remains on the disabled list. He'll pick up his third straight start at the keystone Wednesday.

Adrianza has seven hits in 22 at-bats since coming off the disabled list in early May.

The utility infielder has seen infrequent playing time for Minnesota thus far but has found success when in the lineup. He carries a .318/.370/.364 slash line and will see occasional time in left field in addition to the infield spots, making him a versatile bench option for the Twins.
