Caba is hitting .180 with a .308 on-base percentage, zero home runs, 13 steals and as many walks (15) as strikeouts in 24 games for Single-A Clearwater.

Given that Caba logged a .427 OBP, 15.1 percent strikeout rate and 37 steals in 52 Florida Complex League games while showcasing plus defense at shortstop prior to his promotion to Single-A, this season has still been a positive one for the the 18-year-old switch hitter. Caba's glove will likely get him to the big leagues, where his plus speed could make him relevant in fantasy if he gets enough playing time. It's still to be determined how much of an impact the 5-foot-9 shortstop will make at the plate.

Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Fitzgerald's memorable power binge in early August has given way to an 18-game homer drought, during which he's hitting .254 (18-for-71) with four doubles and five steals. He's still seeing steady playing time at shortstop, but he's no longer regularly hitting atop the order. Fitzgerald has still put together an impressive campaign with a .300/.353/.544 slash line, 14 home runs, 17 steals, 30 RBI and 45 runs scored over 272 plate appearances.

Perdomo batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 loss to San Francisco.

Perdomo led off the game with a single and eventually scored. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo has moved Perdomo to the leadoff spot against lefties -- he batted second against a right-hander Wednesday -- but he'll likely slide back down the order when Ketel Marte (ankle) returns, which could come as soon as this weekend. Perdomo is 7-for-18 with four RBI and five runs scored over the last five games.

Tovar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Thursday's win over Atlanta.

Tovar went hitless in his first two trips to the plate before jumping on a hanging slider from Reynaldo Lopez in the top of the sixth to notch his 22nd home run of the campaign and give Colorado a 2-1 lead. He would also add his sixth stolen base of the season in the eighth after recording a leadoff single to open the frame. It marked the shortstop's first long ball and multi-hit effort this month and he's now hit safely in nine of his last 12 games. Over that stretch he's batting .270 (13-for-48) with 10 extra-base hits, nine RBI and seven runs scored.

Abrams is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh.

With left-hander Bailey Falter on the hill for the Pirates, Nationals manager Dave Martinez has elected to give the left-handed hitting Abrams a day off. Nasim Nunez will draw a start at shortstop and bat ninth.

McLain (shoulder/rib) is pain-free and has been cleared to resume baseball activities, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

McLain's surgically repaired left shoulder no longer appears to be an issue, and he also appears to be past the more recent stress reaction in his rib cage. The Reds have not ruled out a late-season return for McLain, but they'll wait to see how he responds to workouts.

De La Cruz went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a stolen base, two RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 12-5 win over Houston.

Much of De La Cruz's production came during Cincinnati's nine-run first inning. He doubled and scored the Reds' second run, then singled home the sixth and seventh runs, and finished with his 62nd steal and scored the team's ninth run. De La Cruz has multiple hits in five of the last 11 contests, during which he's 15-for-47 (.319) with five doubles, five walks, two steals, seven RBI and 12 runs scored.

Swanson went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Wednesday's 12-0 win over the Pirates.

It's been a down year overall for Swanson, but he's getting things going lately. Over his last 10 games, the Chicago shortstop is batting .385 with four home runs, 14 runs scored and 15 RBI. Swanson is now up 14 long balls for the season. The 30-year-old might be hard pressed to reach the 20-homer plateau for the fourth straight year, though given his recent hot streak, it's not out of the question with 22 games to go.

Fitzgerald will start at shortstop and bat fourth Wednesday versus Arizona, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Fitzgerald was originally scheduled to receive a day off Wednesday, but he will now join the starting nine to replace the scratched Matt Chapman. Fitzgerald has recorded a base hit in five of his last six games, going 7-for-23 with an RBI and two runs scored in that span.

Fitzgerald isn't in the Giants' lineup for Wednesday's game versus Arizona, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Fitzgerald will step out of the starting nine for Wednesday's game after going 5-for-19 with an RBI and eight strikeouts over his last five contests. Brett Wisely will fill in at shortstop and bat eighth.
