Crawford is not in Thursday's lineup against the Red Sox.

He is hitting .275 with one home run, 10 strikeouts and 10 walks in 51 at-bats this month. Mauricio Dubon will start at shortstop while Cristhian Adames starts at second base.

Gordon is not in Thursday's lineup against the Pirates.

He is hitting .295 with three steals in 13 games this month. Shed Long gets the start at the keystone and will lead off.

Crawford is not in Thursday's lineup against the Pirates.

He is 1-for-15 with five strikeouts and four walks in five games since returning from a hamstring injury. Donnie Walton will start at shortstop and hit seventh.

Swanson is not in Thursday's lineup against the Phillies.

He is hitting just .156 with zero home runs and one steal in 19 games since coming off the injured list. Adeiny Hechavarria is starting at shortstop and hitting fifth.

Edman went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs in a 5-1 victory against the Nationals on Wednesday.

Suddenly, the 24-year-old is on a little power spree, as he's hit three homers in the last five games. During that stretch, he also has five RBI. Overall, Edman is batting .286 with 10 homers, 32 RBI, 48 runs and 13 steals in 283 at-bats this season.

Correa will sit as expected Wednesday against the Rangers.

Correa isn't expected to play every day right away after returning from a nearly month-long absence with a back injury. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Tuesday and will rest Wednesday, with Alex Bregman sliding to shortstop and Aledmys Diaz starting at third base.

Rojas and the Marlins agreed to a two-year contract Wednesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the contract buys out one year of arbitration, one year of free agency, and includes a team option for a third year.

Rojas has been a steady presence for the Marlins' infield for three years in a row, so the team decided to lock him up at least through the end of the 2021 season. With the new deal in hand, expect Rojas to open the 2020 campaign as the Marlins' starting shortstop.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run in a win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

The game marked Crawford's return to the lineup after being given Sunday off following an 0-for-8 tally over his first two games back from a hamstring injury. Manager Scott Servais had mentioned he was looking to clear the shortstop's head a bit after the pair of rough games, and the strategy seemed to have worked to an extent.

Reyes left the Pirates prior to Tuesday's 6-0 loss to the Mariners after his wife gave birth to the couple's first child, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Thanks to the expanded September roster, the Pirates won't have to place Reyes on the paternity list, though he'll still likely report back to the club after taking the normal 1-to-3 days off to spend time with his family. Before leaving the team, Reyes had fallen into a semi-regular role in the outfield while Starling Marte (wrist) has been unavailable.

Ahmed (finger) remains on the bench Wednesday against the Marlins.

Ahmed was scratched from Tuesday's lineup with a finger issue and will wind up missing at least one more start. Domingo Leyba gets the start at shortstop.
