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

Camargo will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves have settled on Camargo as the primary replacement at shortstop while Dansby Swanson (foot) is stuck on the injured list. With zero hits in 13 at-bats while starting the past three contests, Camargo has yet to take advantage of the opportunity afforded him. For his part, Swanson said he expects to be sidelined for close to the minimum 10 days, leaving Camargo with little time to get his bat going.

Camargo got the start at shortstop and hit seventh during Wednesday's loss to the Royals, going 0-for-3.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old utility player has gotten only two starts in 12 games since the All-Star break, and his .639 OPS on the year isn't making a strong case for a larger role. Camargo would likely need an injury somewhere on the Atlanta infield to be worth fantasy consideration even in deeper formats.

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

Camargo will start in right field and bat seventh Sunday against the Tigers, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Camargo saw semi-regular action in the first month of the season as a super-utility player, but the arrival of prospect Austin Riley has effectively ended any opportunity for the 25-year-old to see even a couple starts per week. He'll enter the lineup for the first time since May 21 with Nick Markakis getting a day off against a tough left-hander in Tigers hurler Matthew Boyd.

Camargo went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Camargo knocked in a pair of runs in the third inning on a single to left, extending Atlanta's lead to three. The 25-year-old has struggled to hit for average so far this season over 32 games (.241), but he's hit safely in three straight ballgames.

Camargo pinch hit for Josh Tomlin in the top of the ninth inning and hit a solo home run in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
It's only the utility player's second homer of the year, to go along with a tepid .229/.289/.373 slash line. Camargo isn't seeing much action these days -- he's started only two of the last nine games -- and his path to playing time could get even rockier if Atlanta decides to call up Austin Riley at some point to man an outfield corner.

Camargo will start at third base and bat sixth Thursday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
He'll stick in the lineup for the third straight contest and the seventh time in eight games. Camargo's ability to play multiple infield and outfield positions has helped him pick up steady playing time despite the lack of an everyday role at any spot, but his path to regular action at least at third base could come to an end soon with Josh Donaldson (calf) expected to rejoin the starting nine this weekend in MIami.

Camargo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The utility man will head to the bench after starting four consecutive games, each at different positions. Camargo is only maintaining a .687 OPS through 64 plate appearances, but his positional versatility should continue to earn him at least a handful of starts per week.

Camargo is out of the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
He'll head to the bench for just the second time in a six-game stretch, but the 25-year-old will likely check back into the lineup for the nightcap. Camargo hasn't been a major help in the counting-stats categories this season with only one home run, no steals and three runs, but his defensive versatility and strong on-base skills should continue to earn him at least semi-regular work.
