    Braves' Dansby Swanson: Four hits including homer

    Swanson went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, two runs and two RBI in Wednesday's victory over the Phillies.

    Swanson notched an RBI single off Ranger Suarez in the bottom of the second frame, singled and scored on a wild pitch in the fifth inning and then launched a solo homer in his following at-bat in the sixth. The long ball was his sixth of the season and fifth in May. He later added another single and the four-hit effort was his third consecutive multi-hit game. Swanson has put together an eight-game hit streak, batting .438 with three extra-base hits, four runs, seven RBI and two stolen bases over that stretch.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Arcia hasn't appeared in any of the last seven games, but he'll serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth Wednesday after Ronald Acuna (quadriceps) was scratched. Over four games since the start of May, Arcia has gone 5-for-12 with a homer, two runs, two RBI and five strikeouts.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Returns to lineup

    Rojas (calf) is starting Wednesday against the Rays, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald

    Rojas hasn't played since Saturday due to a sore left calf, but he'll start at shortstop and bat eighth after missing the last two games. Over his last four games, he's gone 4-for-12 with a homer, a double, three runs and a walk.

  • Phillies' Johan Camargo: Not starting Wednesday

    Camargo isn't starting Wednesday against Atlanta, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Camargo started in the last two games and went 2-for-8 with a run, a walk and three strikeouts. Bryson Stott will take over at shortstop and bat ninth.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Gets breather Wednesday

    Crawford isn't starting Wednesday against the Mets, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Crawford has gone 4-for-10 with a homer, three RBI and three strikeouts over the last two games, and he'll get a breather in Wednesday's series finale against the Mets. Donovan Walton will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Dodgers' Trea Turner: Homers against former team

    Turner went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Tuesday in a 9-4 victory versus the Nationals.

    Facing the team with which he won a ring in 2019, Turner teed off with a two-run shot to center field in the first inning. The long ball was his third of the campaign and extended his hitting streak to 16 games. Over that stretch, Turner is slashing .349/.425/.540 with two homers, six doubles, 14 RBI, eight runs and four stolen bases.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Homers, drives in six

    Lindor went 2-for-6 with a home run, triple, two runs and six RBI in a 13-12 loss to San Francisco on Tuesday.

    Lindor got going late with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning, a two-run homer in the seventh and a bases-clearing triple followed by a run in a seven-run eighth. It was the 28-year-old's third multi-hit outing in his last six and his first with multiple extra-base hits since a two-homer game April 15. The excellent performance raises Lindor's slash line to .244/.333/.419 with seven home runs, 30 runs and 32 RBI.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Won't return this weekend

    Adames (ankle) participated in batting practice and fielded grounders Tuesday but won't be activated during the upcoming four-game series in St. Louis, which begins Thursday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    The 26-year-old recently said he was optimistic about being activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Thursday, but he'll be sidelined at least a few more days as he returns from a sprained left ankle. The fact Adames continues to ramp up his baseball activities is an encouraging sign, so he could be back for Monday's series opener against the Cubs.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Still sidelined with calf issue

    Rojas (calf) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Tampa, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    The Marlins will be without both of their preferred starters in the middle infield, as Jazz Chisholm (hamstring) joins Rojas on the bench. Erik Gonzalez will hit eighth and check in at shortstop for Rojas, who is out for a second straight game due to a sore left calf.

  • Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA

    Nationals' Ehire Adrianza: Kicking off rehab assignment

    Adrianza (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

    Since Adrianza was moved to the 60-day injured list in late April and won't be eligible to join the Nationals until early June, he'll likely remain on his rehab assignment for the next two weeks, with a move to Triple-A Rochester expected to come at some point. For now, Adrianza will start out at Harrisburg, where he'll be able to pick up regular at-bats and prove he's recovered from the left quad strain by playing multiple spots in the field. Once he's cleared to return from the 60-day IL, Adrianza will likely displace Dee Strange-Gordon as the Nationals' top utility man.
