Abrams went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Abrams drove a high fastball by Landon Knack into right field and out of the yard to put the Nationals on the board in the first inning. The speedy shortstop has gone deep in four of his last seven outings, during which he's batting .296 with two doubles, six RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases over 27 at-bats.

Allen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Allen will hit the bench for the second game in a row after he ended a recent four-game run as Atlanta's starting shortstop on a down note by striking out in all three of his plate appearances in a 4-0 loss to the Marlins last Saturday. Orlando Arcia, meanwhile, went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in his return to the lineup in Tuesday's 7-5 win and will be in the starting nine again Wednesday. Arcia's longer track record at the big-league level looks like it might be enough to keep him ahead of Allen on the depth chart for now, despite a poor start to the season.

Arcia will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

After a four-game benching, Arcia returned to the lineup Tuesday and reached base twice in four plate appearances in Atlanta's 7-5 win. He'll get another chance to build on that performance by starting again Wednesday as he looks to solidify himself as Atlanta's everyday shortstop ahead of Nick Allen.

Abrams (thigh) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Abrams was held out of the lineup for the past two games while dealing with right thigh tightness, but the Nationals never expressed much concern that the issue would force the young shortstop to the injured list. He'll be back at his familiar spot atop the lineup and in the infield for the series finale, while Paul DeJong shifts back over to third base after making the last two starts at shortstop.

Brujan (elbow) was cleared to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Brujan had a setback with his right elbow sprain last week, but he apparently bounced back quickly. It's not clear how many rehab games Brujan will need before being activated from the 10-day injured list. Once he's ready, he will fill a utility role for the Cubs.

Kiner-Falefa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Manager Derek Shelton will give Kiner-Falefa a breather as the Pirates wrap up their series with the Cardinals with a day game after a night game. The recently promoted Tsung-Che Cheng will make his MLB debut Wednesday, starting at shortstop in Kiner-Falefa's stead and batting ninth.

Made rolled his ankle Friday while playing for Single-A Carolina, but he may not have to go on the injured list, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Carolina was cautious and held Made out of action over the weekend, but it's unclear if Made will be ready to return to the lineup within the next few days. Made, who turns 18 years old in May, is coming off one of the best Dominican Summer League campaigns in history and has a chance to be a fast rising superstar shortstop or third baseman.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-6 win over Texas.

Swanson first cracked a solo homer off Rangers left-hander Patrick Corbin to get the Cubs on the board in the second inning. The veteran shortstop then put Chicago in front 4-3 with a sacrifice fly in the fourth frame, and he gave the club an 8-6 lead with a two-run single in the eighth. Although Swanson is batting just .226 over 53 at-bats, he's already up to four big flies, 11 RBI, nine runs scored and two steals in 14 outings.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Marlins.

Lindor finally registered his first home run of the 2025 season Tuesday, taking Connor Gillispie deep to right field in the first inning. Lindor hit a sacrifice fly in the seventh frame to register his first multi-RBI game of the season while extending the Mets' lead to five runs. He is on a seven-game hitting streak and has gone 9-for-26 with three walks, two doubles, one home run and four RBI over that span.

Iglesias is starting in left field and batting seventh against the Athletics on Tuesday.

Iglesias has never started in the outfield during his professional career, so Tuesday will be a first for the 35-year-old. With three of the Padres' possible left fielders on the bench because a lefty is on the mound and with Brandon Lockridge starting in center due to Jackson Merrill's hamstring injury, the door opened for Iglesias to head to left field.
