Anderson (ankle) went 3-for-4 with an RBI in a rehab game for Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

Anderson did not play the field but got three opportunities to run the bases. He'll need to hit a few benchmarks, like playing back-to-back games and playing the field nine innings, before the White Sox activate him.

DeJong went 4-for-4 with three home runs, a double, five RBI and four runs in a 14-8 victory against the Pirates on Wednesday.

The third homer he hit came against a position player, but DeJong was just mashing everything that was in the strike zone Wednesday. This was his second four-hit game of the season, but the first time he went 4-for-4 and the first three-homer game of his career. DeJong is hitting .258 with 18 home runs, 49 RBI, 68 runs and six steals in 376 at-bats this season.

Baez went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and two runs scored Wednesday against the Giants.

Baez saw the ball well out of Tyler Beede's hand Wednesday, cranking his 25th homer of the season in the first inning. He followed that up with his 27th double of the campaign two innings later, coming around to score on a Kris Bryant home run. Baez has found different ways to be productive of late, as he swiped two bases Tuesday prior to showcasing his power Wednesday. For the season, he's posted a .290/321/.554 line across 430 plate appearances.

Anderson (ankle) will DH for nine innings in Wednesday's rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

It's possible that Anderson will be ready to return once the calendar turns to August, but he will still need to progress to playing back-to-back days in the field. He has been sidelined since June 25.

Rojas (shoulder) is back in the lineup Wednesday against the White Sox.

Rojas hadn't started a game since leaving Saturday against the Dodgers due to a shoulder strain. He'll return to his regular role Wednesday, leading off and playing shortstop.

Swanson was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals due to a heel issue, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Swanson injured his heel during Tuesday's contest but did not leave the game. The injury is considered minor, and the Braves have a day off Thursday, so there's a good chance he's back in action Friday in Philadelphia.

Swanson, who was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Royals, is dealing with unspecified soreness, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

It may just be general soreness for Swanson, and with the Braves having an off day Thursday, this gives him a couple days to rest up. Johan Camargo gets the start at shortstop, hitting seventh.

Swanson was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup against the Royals.

There has been no word of an injury with Swanson. Johan Camargo slots in at shortstop, hitting seventh.

Adames is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

With one hit and 11 strikeouts in 21 at-bats over his last six games, Adames has looked lost at the plate lately and may begin to lose playing time as a result. He'll be on the bench for the second time in six games while Joey Wendle takes over at shortstop.

Baez went 2-for-6 with a double, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Giants.

The 26-year-old only has seven steals in 12 attempts on the year, but at least in this one he looked like a consistent threat on the basepaths. The rest of Baez's numbers are much more palatable, however -- he's slashing .289/.320/.546 with 24 homers, 67 RBI and 69 runs through 99 games.
