Gordon is not in the lineup Wednesday against the A's.

Gordon has started eight of the last nine games for Seattle, slashing .250/.276/.607 with two homers, two triples and five RBI during that stretch. He'll hit the bench for Wednesday's series finale with Robinson Cano covering the keystone in his place.

Swanson is dealing with a partially torn ligament in his left hand and will be reevaluated next week.

Swanson suffered the injury during Tuesday's game against the Mets, and an MRI revealed ligament damage. He'll receive treatment in Atlanta for the remainder of the regular season before being reevaluated next week to determine his availability for the playoffs. Charlie Culberson figures to fill in at shortstop for the final week of the campaign.

Bogaerts is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Bogaerts will sit after going 2-for-4 with a double, a homer, four RBI and two runs scored during the team's 19-3 victory in Game 1. The shortstop is now sitting at 22 homers and 100 RBI on the season, both career-best marks. Tzu-Wei Lin is starting at shortstop in his stead.

Adrianza is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Adrianza has fallen into a near-everyday role with Miguel Sano out with a leg injury. He sits Wednesday after starting 12 of the last 13 games. Willians Astudillo will move out from behind the plate to start at third base, with Chris Gimenez catching.

Reyes hit his second homer in as many games Tuesday, going 2-for-3 with two walks and three RBI against the Cubs.

He's hitting .357 with three home runs and seven RBI in 42 September at-bats. Surprisingly, the right-handed hitter batted better against righties (.306) than lefties (.254) for Triple-A Indianapolis in 2018. Reyes is 7-for-17 against southpaws in the majors, however, and will likely get another start against the left-handed Jose Quintana on Wednesday.

Swanson (hand) went back to Atlanta on Wednesday in order to be examined by the club's head physician Dr. Gary Lourie after undergoing on MRI on Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

The Braves have yet to release the results of Swanson's MRI, though this announcement doesn't inspire much confidence. The shortstop suffered the injury during Tuesday's game against the Mets, exiting the contest with soreness in his left hand/wrist area. More should be known regarding his status following Wednesday's evaluation. With Atlanta already assured of a postseason berth, the club won't rush him back this week even if he avoided a serious injury.

Berti was called up by the Blue Jays on Wednesday and will make his major-league debut, batting ninth and playing second base against the Astros.

The 28-year-old career minor leaguer was traded away to Cleveland in April only to be sent back in June. He has a career .212/.290/.303 slash line in parts of four seasons at the Triple-A level. He has the ability to provide depth at second base, third base and left field.

Correa (back) will bat third and serve as Houston's DH against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

Correa missed the past six games due to a sore back, but he's back in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale a day after the Astros clinched the division. Look for Correa to work his way back to his typical spot at shortstop over the next few days.

Swanson will undergo an MRI on his left hand/wrist Tuesday night, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Swanson exited Tuesday's game with soreness in his left hand/wrist, although the Braves initially indicated that his removal was precautionary. The team doesn't expect to have the results of the MRI until Wednesday.

Swanson left Tuesday's game against the Mets with left hand soreness.

The Braves indicated his exit was only a precaution. Charlie Culberson entered the game at shortstop for the Braves.
