Slugs second homer Camargo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Phillies.

Impact Getting the start at second base and hitting ninth, Camargo took Nick Pivetta deep for his second homer of the year as Atlanta mounted a late comeback attempt that fell well short -- they scored seven runs in the ninth, and still lost 13-8. Camargo has seen consistent playing time so far this season, mostly splitting time at third base with Austin Riley. Wherever he plays, he'll need to get going with the bat to have fantasy value in most formats -- Camargo is slashing only .182/.250/.364 with three RBI and a 3:15 BB:K through 15 games.

Absent from lineup Tuesday Riley isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Rays.

Impact Riley went 2-for-14 with a solo home run and five strikeouts as he started in each of the first four games of the season for Atlanta. However, he'll take a seat as Johan Camargo gets the nod at the hot corner Tuesday, batting seventh.

Scores run in return Camargo (hamstring) went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Mets.

Impact Camargo ended up only missing one game as he recovered from a mild hamstring strain. The 26-year-old played all 10 innings at third base and batted seventh in the contest. He scored on a William Contreras double in the 10th inning. Camargo's best path to at-bats will be at third base, but he has the defensive capabilities to serve in a utility role if he can't produce at the dish.

Starting at third base Friday Riley will start at third base in Friday's season opener against the Mets, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact The departure of Josh Donaldson this offseason opened up the starting job, and Johan Camargo (hamstring) is limited by injury, leaving Riley as the clear starter for Opening Day. Manager Brian Snitker has consistently indicated both Riley and Camargo will receive starts at the hot corner, but a hot start likely would secure regular more consistent chances.

Looks good in batting practice Camargo's hamstring injury didn't seem like a problem during batting practice Wednesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Camargo suffered a mild hamstring during an intrasquad game over the weekend. The timing could send him to the injured list for a brief period, though it appears as if he's close to game action. With active rosters expanded to 30 players, it's possible Camargo could avoid the injured list if he's expected to be ready within a few days of Opening Day.

Managing hamstring injury Camargo suffered a mild hamstring injury during Saturday's intrasquad game, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, but manager Brian Snitker wouldn't rule out a trip to the injured list given the recency of the injury. Camargo will take things easy for a couple days and will hopefully be ready for Friday's season opener against the Mets.

Joins team workouts Freeman (illness) cleared MLB's COVID-19 protocols and began working out at the Braves' facility Friday.

Impact The 30-year-old has been absent from summer training after testing positive for COVID-19 and battling a fever in early July, but he's since recovered and is joining his teammates on the field. Freeman has yet to be ruled out for next Friday's season opener against the Mets and may need some additional time to reach game readiness, but his return to the field this week gives him a chance to potentially avoid missing any games. Regardless, joining team workouts is a significant step toward full clearance and is a boost to his early season prospects. Adam Duvall, Austin Riley and Johan Camargo are the potential fill-in options at first base should Freeman be unable to play Opening Day.

Elects to opt out Markakis has decided to opt out of playing this season, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Markakis becomes the latest in a growing number of players to decide not to play during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Markakis had been in line to fill a fairly large role in left field this season, with Marcell Ozuna expected to spend time as the designated hitter. His decision opens up more at-bats for Adam Duvall as well as offering another spot in the lineup for Austin Riley and Johan Camargo, who were expected to compete for time at third base.
