Seager isn't in Wednesday's lineup against the Reds, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Seager went 0-for-4 with a walk in Tuesday's loss to Cincinnati. Gavin Lux will shift to shortstop while Chris Taylor starts at second base.

Baez underwent an MRI on Tuesday that revealed a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Baez hasn't appeared in either of the last two games due to a hamstring issue, although he was reportedly available off the bench Tuesday. The 28-year-old's hamstring strain is considered to be mild, and the team will monitor him ahead of Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Crawford went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Rockies.

Crawford returned from a two-game absence caused by a quadriceps injury. He promptly swatted a clutch homer, tying the game at four in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was Crawford's fourth home run of the season, though he is still hitting .217/.260/.520 across 73 plate appearances.

Berti went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in a 5-4 loss to the Brewers on Tuesday.

Berti singled and scored a run in the fifth and then came back up in the seventh and sent a long ball to straightaway center to reduce the Marlins' deficit to 5-4. Tuesday was only his second multi-hit effort of the season, but it included his second home run in four games after he failed to leave the yard during first 17 contests. Overall, Berti is still struggling at the plate, as he's slashing .212/.300/.385 with five extra-base hits, eight RBI and nine runs scored to go along with a 6:16 BB:K.

Edman went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Phillies.

Edman notched a hit for a third straight game when he roped a double down the right-field line to plate a pair of runs and put the Cardinals up 3-1 in the second inning. The 26-year-old would end up getting on base again in the seventh with a single and came around to score on a Paul Goldschmidt double to extend his team's lead to 5-2. Edman is now slashing .277/.333/.394 with two home runs, six RBI and 12 runs scored as the Cardinals' primary leadoff hitter.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.

All three hits were singles, but Swanson did improve his line with his first steal of the season. The shortstop came into this series having gone just 3-for-26 over the last eight contests, but he's feasting off Cubs pitching with five hits in the last two games.

Turner went 2-for-4 with two home runs in Tuesday's loss against the Blue Jays.

Turner launched two solo shots -- in the first and in the third inning, both off Trent Thornton -- but his contributions weren't enough to lead the Nationals to a win. The star shortstop continues to make an impact at the top of Washington's lineup, as he owns a .896 OPS through 83 plate appearances.

Crawford (quadriceps) is starting at shortstop and batting sixth Tuesday against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

He missed a few games with a minor quad injury. Crawford is hitting .185 with three home runs and two steals in 20 games.

Rojas (elbow) will bat second and play shortstop Tuesday against the Brewers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas left Monday's game with an elbow injury, which he appeared to suffer while turning a double play. The issue won't be serious enough for him to miss a start.

Turner (forearm) will lead off and play shortstop Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Turner exited Sunday's game against the Mets after getting hit in the elbow by a pitch. He's good to go following Monday's off day, however, so he'll continue his streak of starting every game so far this season.
