The Brewers placed Cameron on the paternity list Friday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Cameron will step away from the team for a few days to be with his growing family. Drew Avans was called up from Triple-A Nashville to bolster Milwaukee's outfield for this weekend's series versus St. Louis.

Rotowire
Cameron went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Reds.
Getting the start in left field and batting fifth, Cameron got hold of an Andrew Abbott changeup in the sixth inning and drove it over the fence in left-center field for his first long ball of the season. Cameron is filling a short-side platoon role while Garrett Mitchell (oblique) remains sidelined, and he's collected five hits in his last three starts with a double, a homer, two RBI and four runs.

Brewers' Daz Cameron: Raps out three hits in win
Rotowire
Cameron (knee) went 3-for-6 with a double and two runs in Saturday's 17-7 win over the Phillies.
After suffering a left knee contusion Monday, Cameron didn't start the Brewers' ensuing three games, though he was used off the bench Wednesday. He made enough improvement to enter the lineup in left field Saturday, and he came through with his best effort of the season, with his three hits exceeding his total (two) from his first 21 at-bats with Milwaukee. With Jackson Chourio having shifted over to center field since Garrett Mitchell (oblique) landed on the injured list April 26, the Brewers have given opportunities in left field to Isaac Collins, Jake Bauers and Cameron, but none of the three has been able to take control of the job. After his strong showing Saturday, Cameron might not have to wait long to get his next start, but he'll likely need multiple quality performances at the dish to gain more job security.

Brewers' Daz Cameron: Back in lineup Saturday
Rotowire
Cameron (knee) is starting in left field and batting fifth against the Phillies on Saturday.
Cameron has been out of the Brewers' lineup since bruising his left knee during Monday's game against the Red Sox. He did pinch run for Milwaukee against Boston on Wednesday and has been cleared to return to the lineup. Cameron has gone 2-for-21 with one RBI, one steal and a 40.9 percent strikeout rate this season.

Brewers' Daz Cameron: Early exit Monday
Rotowire
Cameron exited Monday's game against the Red Sox after the sixth inning due to a left knee contusion, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.
Cameron went 0-for-3 at the plate before departing the contest, and he popped out to second base in the bottom of the sixth inning before being replaced by Sal Frelick in right field. Cameron's next chance to play will come Tuesday against Boston, though it's not a guarantee he'll be in the lineup even if he's healthy.

Brewers' Daz Cameron: Swipes first bag
Rotowire
Cameron went 1-for-2 with a steal, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-0 victory over the Cubs.
Cameron entered the game as a replacement for Sal Frelick (knee) in the fourth inning. The 28-year-old journeyman made the most of his opportunity, stealing his first major-league base since Sept. 6, 2024, when he was with the Athletics. The extent of Frelick's injury is unknown that this time; however, Cameron and Jake Bauers would be the most likely candidates to see an increased role if Frelick has to be placed on the injured list.

Brewers' Daz Cameron: Officially promoted
Rotowire
The Brewers selected Cameron's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
Milwaukee will call upon Cameron to provide the team with some outfield depth while Garrett Mitchell (oblique) spends time on the injured list. Cameron, 28, boasts a 1.274 OPS in Triple-A since being acquired by the Brewers on April 7, which could be enough to buy him an occasional start with the big club. Blake Perkins (shin) was transferred to the 60-day IL to clear space on the 40-man roster.

Brewers' Daz Cameron: Bound for Milwaukee
Rotowire
The Brewers are expected to select Cameron's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Cameron has been hot in the minors since being traded from Baltimore on April 7, slashing .372/.417/.837 with five homers, 16 RBI, nine runs scored and three steals across 10 games with the Sounds. He'll help give the Brewers some depth in the outfield, though he could get opportunities to start if Garrett Mitchell (oblique) ends up on the injured list.

Brewers' Daz Cameron: Gets new home in Milwaukee
Rotowire
The Brewers acquired Cameron and cash considerations from the Orioles on Monday in exchange for left-hander Grant Wolfram, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
After being outrighted off the Orioles' 40-man roster in February, Cameron remained in the organization and began the season at Triple-A Norfolk, where he slashed .222/.333/.278 with three RBI across five games. He'll get a fresh start in the Brewers organization and will likely be assigned to Triple-A Nashville.

Orioles' Daz Cameron: Outrighted to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Orioles outrighted Cameron to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Cameron is no longer on the 40-man roster but will be in camp as a non-roster invitee. The 28-year-old is slated to open the season as outfield depth at Norfolk.

Orioles' Daz Cameron: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
The Orioles designated Cameron for assignment Friday.
With the recent additions of Dylan Carlson and Ramon Laureano, Cameron became superfluous. The 28-year-old is out of minor-league options, which figures to hurt his appeal on waivers.

Orioles' Daz Cameron: Shipped to Baltimore
Rotowire
The Athletics traded Cameron to the Orioles on Thursday in exchange for cash.
After slashing .200/.258/.329 with 15 RBI across 186 plate appearances with the A's last season, Cameron will now move across the country to give the Orioles some additional outfield depth. Given how crowded Baltimore's outfield room is already, it's unlikely the 27-year-old takes on a meaningful role with the O's in 2025.

Athletics' Daz Cameron: Losing work vs. RHPs
Rotowire
Cameron is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Cameron appears to have lost hold of a regular spot in the Oakland lineup, as he'll take a seat for the Athletics' fifth consecutive matchup with a right-handed starter or opening pitcher. The left-handed-hitting Tristan Gray seems to have displaced Cameron in the everyday lineup, but the right-handed-hitting Cameron should still be a regular presence in the starting nine when the Athletics oppose lefties.

Athletics' Daz Cameron: Registers fifth steal
Rotowire
Cameron went 1-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Tigers.
Cameron had a decent game, including his third steal in his last 11 contests. He's gone 8-for-40 (.200) with four RBI and 16 strikeouts in that span. However, it was the man who pinch hit for him -- Seth Brown -- who was the hero in Friday's contest with two clutch hits in extra innings. Cameron is at a .190/.255/.331 slash line with five home runs, five steals, 14 RBI and 19 runs scored over 157 plate appearances this year. Cameron has remained the Athletics' fourth outfielder even with Miguel Andujar (abdomen) being shut down for the year in late August.

Athletics' Daz Cameron: Resting again Tuesday
Rotowire
Cameron isn't in the Athletics' lineup Tuesday against the Mariners.

Athletics' Daz Cameron: Sitting down Monday
Rotowire
Cameron isn't in Oakland's lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.
Cameron has slashed .194/.188/.258 with three RBI while playing in each of the Athletics' last eight games, and he'll now receive a day off to regroup. Seth Brown will take over in left field while Cameron rests, allowing Tyler Nevin to start at first base.

Athletics' Daz Cameron: Filling in for injured Andujar
Rotowire
Cameron will start in left field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Reds.
The Athletics look set to give Cameron a look in an everyday role after Miguel Andujar (core) was placed on the injured list Wednesday. While Andujar was held out of the lineup both of the previous two contests, Cameron filled in for him in left field and went 1-for-6 with an RBI and a stolen base. Cameron is slashing .202/.279/.368 with five home runs and four steals across 129 plate appearances in the big leagues for the season.

Athletics' Daz Cameron: Productive in Sunday's start
Rotowire
Cameron went 1-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly and a stolen base in a win over the Brewers on Sunday.
Cameron's fourth-inning sacrifice fly snapped a 2-2 tie and gave the Athletics a lead they'd hold on to the rest of the way. Cameron's stolen base was also his second in the last three games, and the veteran outfielder has now rather quietly fashioned a .303 average and .888 OPS with four extra-base hits, six RBI and seven runs across his last 15 contests overall.

Athletics' Daz Cameron: Records third steal
Rotowire
Cameron went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Rays on Thursday.
Cameron drew his sixth start of August and managed to rap out a single for the third straight game. The journeyman outfielder appears set for intermittent playing time down the stretch, and his fantasy utility is very limited while sitting on a .189/.275/.358 slash line, even if he does have five homers and three steals in 120 MLB plate appearances this year.

Athletics' Daz Cameron: Doubles in rare start
Rotowire
Cameron went 1-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Sunday.
Cameron drew his first start since last Monday and delivered his second extra-base hit since July 27. The little-used veteran holds just a .185 average and .659 OPS across 38 games at the big-league level in 2024, so his opportunities are likely to remain sparse as long as good health prevails in the Athletics' outfield.
