Bichette went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Seattle.

The superstar rookie simply can't be stopped right now. With his two hits Sunday, Bichette finished the three-game series against Seattle going 8-for-14 (.571) with two extra-base hits and four runs scored. The 21-year-old might've been in the AL Rookie of the Year discussion had he debuted earlier in the year and kept up this pace.

Berti went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Phillies.

Berti got the Marlins on the board in this one with an RBI single to right center. The 29-year-old put together a solid weekend at the dish, going 5-for-13 with a home run and three RBI over the three-game series.

Swanson (foot) could be activated off the 10-day injured list for Monday's game at Colorado, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Swanson began his rehab assignment with Low-A Rome on Thursday and is 4-for-10 with three walks in three games. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since July 23 and would provide a major boost for the Braves as the regular season reaches its final month. Per Bowman, Swanson traveled to Denver on Sunday but isn't guaranteed to be activated immediately. He has a .265/.330/.468 slash line with 17 homers through 100 games.

Berti went 1-for-3 with a stolen base, RBI and a run scored Saturday in the Marlins' 9-3 loss to the Phillies.

Berti reached base three times on the night, as he was also plunked twice by pitches. The Miami leadoff man has come up big through the first two games of the series against Philadelphia, going 4-for-9 with a home run, two steals, two RBI and three runs. He'll start at shortstop and occupy the table-setting role in the series finale Sunday, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

The Indians recalled Chang from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday. He'll start at third base and bat seventh in the Indians' series finale with the Royals, according to Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star.

Chang will provide the Indians with some additional depth on the left side of the infield after star third baseman Jose Ramirez was placed on the 10-day injured list with a fractured hand. Utility man Mike Freeman should be the top candidate to see the bulk of the action at the hot corner while Ramirez is out, but Freeman's left-handedness could at least afford Chang the opportunity to see regular work versus southpaws. Chang, who has hit .253 with nine home runs and four steals in 283 plate appearances at Columbus this season, will enter the starting nine right away with Cleveland opposing lefty Eric Skoglund on Sunday.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI single and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Athletics.

Crawford's solo shot accounted for the Giants' first run in the contest. He would go on to plate Kevin Pillar in the eighth inning before scoring on Stephen Vogt's three-run homer. The shortstop has picked it up lately, going 8-for-21 with five runs scored and three RBI in his last six games. Overall, he's slashing .230/.302/.365 with 10 homers, 51 RBI and 50 runs scored in 118 games this season.

Bichette went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, three RBI and a pair of runs in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Mariners.

Bichette made an impact with each of his hits, starting with a third-inning solo shot off Mariners starter Felix Hernandez. The shortstop added an RBI single in the seventh inning as part of a four-run rally, later scoring on a groundout. Bichette completed the big night by plating Danny Jansen with a double in the eighth inning. He's gone 11-for-36 with four homers, six RBI and six runs scored in his last eight games.

Wendle (wrist) was activated off the 10-day injured list following Saturday's game at Baltimore, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Wendle's wrist was still bothering him a bit during rehab games earlier in the week, but it's apparently a minor issue as he'll rejoin the Rays on Sunday after spending nearly a month on the shelf. The utility man has a .206/.274/.277 slash line with 10 doubles and zero home runs in 46 games.

Urena was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

Urena was promoted earlier in the week and went 0-for-1 while appearing in two games. The 23-year-old returns to Buffalo, where he has a .280/.318/.399 slash line in 92 games.

Arcia is not in the lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Arcia is out of the starting lineup for the first time in eight games. He's been fairly productive in that stretch, recording seven hits in 29 at-bats while also clubbing two homers. Recently recalled Cory Spangenberg will start in his place and bat eighth.
