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.

Anderson is on the bench Tuesday against Cleveland, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson has gone just 4-for-24 over his last six games. Leury Garcia will get the start at shortstop for the second time this season.

Arcia is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Arcia will head to the bench after starting the last five games and slashing .176/.222/.235 over those contests. Hernan Perez will step into the lineup at shortstop in place of Arcia, hitting fifth.

Ahmed is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Ahmed will get what looks to be a routine day off following a string of 15 consecutive starts during which he hit just .140/.214/.200. Ketel Marte will slide over to cover shortstop in his stead, allowing Daniel Descalso to pick up a start at the keystone.

Correa (back) feels ready to play Wednesday against the Blue Jays after taking 30-to-40 swings Tuesday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

Correa will miss his sixth straight game Tuesday while resting a sore back. He may return as the designated hitter for his first game back in the lineup.

Adames (illness) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Adames missed a pair of starts due to illness. He was able to draw a walk as a pinch hitter Monday and will be a full participant Tuesday, batting eighth and playing shortstop.

Story (elbow) went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles and a run Monday in the Rockies' 10-1 win over the Phillies.

After missing the previous five games with a sore right elbow, Story showed no signs of the injury affecting him in his return to the lineup. According to Thomas Harding of MLB.com, both of Story's two-baggers had exit velocities exceeding 108 miles per hour. His second double of the night gave him 80 extra-base hits on the season, making him only the fourth National League shortstop in history to reach that benchmark. With his health seemingly not much of a question mark any longer, Story should make for an elite fantasy option over the final week of the season with six more games on tap at Coors Field and the Rockies incentivized to keep all their regulars in the lineup with a playoff spot still at stake.

Reyes went 2-for-5 with a solo homer in a 5-1 win over the Cubs on Monday.

He continues to bolster his chances of making the team's Opening Day roster in 2019, showing an ability to play both third base and in the outfield. The under-the-radar utilityman could even see steady time in right field with Gregory Polanco (shoulder) sidelined. He's slashing .333/.381/.513 in 42 September plate appearances.
