As he and his teammates took the field for the first inning, Camargo hopped as he approached the first-base line and then appeared to land awkwardly. He tried to take another step before he fell to the ground in obvious pain.

Camargo was unable to put any pressure on his right leg as he was helped off the field and taken to the home clubhouse for further evaluation.

Jace Peterson entered the game to serve as the Braves' shortstop.

Camargo hit .346 with a .902 OPS through his first 28 big league starts this year.
