Dodgers' Corey Seager: Racks up four RBI in Game 2
Seager went 2-for-4 with a home run, one double, four total RBI, two runs, one walk and two strikeouts in Tuesday's Game 2 loss to Atlanta.
Seager was the Dodgers' top performer Tuesday as the team nearly came back late in the contest. The shortstop has struck out four times over the first two games of the series, but he's still been quite effective since the start of the postseason.

Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Joins playoff roster
Camargo was added to Atlanta's NLCS roster Tuesday.
Camargo joins the team in place of Adam Duvall, who suffered an oblique injury in Game 1 on Monday. It's possible Camargo sees some time in Duvall's spot in left field, though the Braves have a number of other outfield options they can turn to. It's also possible Pablo Sandoval enters the lineup as a designated hitter, pushing Marcell Ozuna out to left. Camargo is still searching for his first career postseason hit after going hitless in four games back in 2018. He's coming off a season in which he hit just .200/.244/.367 in 35 games.

Seager went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs, two RBI and a stolen base during Wednesday's Game 2 win over the Padres.
The 26-year-old hit a solo homer in the first game of the playoffs but entered Wednesday's game hitless in his past seven at-bats. He broke out in Game 2 to power the offense. Seager is now 4-for-14 with one homer, two doubles, four runs, four RBI ad two walks through four postseason games.

Braves' Dansby Swanson: Cranks homer
Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Wednesday's win over the Marlins in Game 2 of the NLDS.
Swanson homered in the second inning off Pablo Lopez. The 26-year-old broke open the game for Atlanta, carrying over some of the momentum from his impressive .274/.345/.464 regular-season line.

Dodgers' Corey Seager: Blasts solo shot in Game 1 win
Seager went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's Game 1 victory over the Brewers.
He took Freddy Peralta deep in the seventh inning to give the Dodgers an insurance run. That blast ended up being the last score of a 4-2 win. Seager and Mookie Betts did most of the damage for the Dodgers out of the first two spots in the lineup.

Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Spring training still possible
General manager Ben Cherington expects Cruz to take part in spring training despite the 21-year-old's role in an offseason accident in the Dominican Republic, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
"No reason to believe he wouldn't be available for spring training, full participant," Cherington said. "No information that I have that would suggest he wouldn't be." The accident took the lives of three people. Some reports coming out of the Dominican Republic remain unclear and fantasy managers will still need to take a wait-and-see approach with the fallout from the tragedy.

Braves' Johan Camargo: Returns to big club
The Braves recalled Camargo from their alternate training site Wednesday ahead of Game 1 of their wild-card series with the Reds.
Atlanta will go with Camargo, Charlie Culberson and Pablo Sandoval as their main reserve options in the infield during the postseason. Camargo hit .200 with four home runs and nine RBI across 127 plate appearances during the regular season.
