Camargo went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in a 9-7 win against the Dodgers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Camargo gave the Phillies a four-run lead with a two-run homer to left field in the second inning, and he produced another run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth. The long ball was the third of the campaign for the veteran and marked just his third hit over his past 12 games. Over the cold stretch, Camargo is slashing .091/.162/.273 with two homers and five RBI.

Camargo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since Didi Gregorius (knee) was placed on the injured list, Camargo and Bryson Stott have split work at shortstop. After going 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts in Tuesday's 5-4 loss, Camargo will cede the start at the position to Stott in the series finale.

Camargo is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Camargo picked up a start at first base in the Phillies' 3-2 win over the Mets in Game 1, going 1-for-4 at the plate. Though he'll move to the bench with Rhys Hoskins checking back into the lineup for Game 2, Camargo should pick up steady work at shortstop while Didi Gregorius (knee) is on the injured list. Bryson Stott will end up starting at shortstop in both games of the twin bill, however.

Camargo will start at first base and bat eighth in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Mets, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he'll be filling in for a resting Rhys Hoskins in Game 1 of the twin bill, Camargo appears well positioned to serve as the Phillies' primary option at shortstop for at least over the next week and a half after Didi Gregorius (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. The Phillies recalled prospect Bryson Stott from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to restore some depth in the middle infield, and though he'll start at shortstop in Game 1, he turned in a lowly .328 OPS in 31 plate appearances to begin the season before he was optioned to Lehigh Valley. Meanwhile, Camargo is holding down a .680 OPS over 64 plate appearances on the campaign, which should be enough to make him the preferred option at shortstop over Stott.

Camargo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Didi Gregorius (hand) back in action for the second contest of the series with Colorado, Camargo's five-game run as the Phillies' starting shortstop comes to an end. Though Camargo went 5-for-19 with a home run and four RBI during that five-game stretch and now sports a .716 OPS across 50 plate appearances on the season, manager Joe Girardi said Monday that Gregorius will retain duties as the Phillies' everyday shortstop. Girardi noted that he still expects the versatile Camargo to see steady at-bats while bouncing between a number of different positions when one of the Phillies' everyday players receives a day off.

Camargo will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Brewers, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Alec Bohm appears to have seized hold of the everyday role at third base, but Camargo has still been able to pick up playing time in the infield thanks to Didi Gregorius' (hand) ongoing absence. He'll man shortstop for the fourth game in a row, though Camargo could see his opportunities dwindle while moving back into a utility role in the coming days if Gregorius is able to avoid a trip to the injured list.

Camargo went 4-for-5 with a three-run homer during Wednesday's 9-6 win at Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old received the start at shortstop in place of an injured Didi Gregorius (hand), and he came through for Philadelphia with a three-run shot in the seventh inning, which proved to be the difference in the contest. Camargo signed with the Phillies to be a utility player but has seen extended playing time early in the season and has a .382/.417/.529 slash line through 11 games.

Camargo remains on the bench Tuesday against the Rockies, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Camargo started six straight games last week, including five at third base, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him slip back into a utility role. His .258/.316/.421 career slash line suggests he's a poor fit as an everyday starter at the hot corner, and his .269/.321/.346 line through nine games this season tells a similar story. Alec Bohm will make his second straight start at third base Tuesday.

Camargo isn't starting Monday against Colorado, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Camargo will get a breather after hitting .217 with two doubles, two RBI and a walk in the last six games. Alec Bohm will start at the hot corner and bat sixth.

Camargo will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Marlins, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heading into the season, Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm were expected to vie for most of the starts at third base, but Camargo might have leapfrogged both players on the depth chart at this stage. Camargo will stick in the lineup for the sixth game in a row, with five of his starts coming at third base. Stott, meanwhile, had started in each of the previous five games, with his last three assignments coming at the keystone while Jean Segura (hand) was sidelined. With Segura back in action Sunday, however, Stott will head to the bench while Camargo sticks at the hot corner after producing a .724 OPS through his first 24 plate appearances of the season.
