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.

Turner went 4-for-5 with the cycle, including a solo home run, two RBI and two runs in an 11-1 victory against the Rockies on Tuesday.

This was Turner's seventh multi-hit game of July, including his third in his last five contests. Four hits also set a new season high for Turner, who hit his second homer of July. Turner is batting .286 with eight home runs, 25 RBI, 42 runs and 20 steals in 255 at-bats this season.

Anderson (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The shortstop ran the bases Monday, clearing the final hurdle necessary to return to a live setting. He's missed close to a month with the high-ankle sprain, but Anderson suggested he may only need a week's worth of games or so in the minors to prepare for a return to Chicago. When ready, Anderson will push Ryan Goins to the bench or off the roster entirely.
