Rojas is not in the lineup Wednesday against Philadelphia.

Rojas receives a day off after starting the past four games, racking up six hits and five RBI during those contests. Mike Aviles gets the nod in his place while batting eighth.

Swanson is batting second for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

This marks the first time that Swanson is near the top of the order since batting second against the Dodgers on July 20. With Ender Inciarte battling a minor thumb injury, Swanson will get a bigger role in the Braves' lineup for Wednesday's contest.

Gordon went 3-for-7 with a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

He extended his hitting streak to 15 games, and Gordon is slashing .409/.426/.515 over that stretch with six steals and 11 runs. With Billy Hamilton (thumb) likely out for the remainder of the year, Gordon has a shot at claiming the league's stolen-base crown, as his 52 puts him six behind Hamilton with 18 games left on the Marlins' schedule.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

Anderson's doing his best to make fantasy owners forget about the first five months of his season, hitting a robust .405 (17-for-42) with six extra-base hits and four steals since the calendar flipped to September. His 16 home runs and 10 steals from the shortstop position signals a valuable fantasy asset. The damage has already been done in 2017, but it's encouraging to see him affirm the organization's belief that he can be a part of the rebuild process going forward.

DeJong went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 13-4 win over the Reds.

DeJong struck out in his first at-bat, but took off from there with hits in each of his next three. The highlights of his night were a second-inning RBI double and a solo homer in the sixth. While he's now churned out multiple hits in three of his past four games, DeJong had accrued only one RBI in his previous eight games before this effort.

Urena went 3-for-5 with a game-winning RBI single in the Jays' walkoff win Tuesday against Baltimore.

The young shortstop capped off a two-run bottom of the ninth to stun O's closer Zach Britton. Since being called up with expanded rosters on Sept. 1, Urena is 11-for-29 (.379) with three RBI and four runs. Owners who can stomach his high strikeout rate can potentially benefit from the Jays' newest leadoff hitter.

Lindor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run -- his third in the last four games -- and a walk in Tuesday's victory over Detroit.

Lindor's bomb made him just the third shortstop in MLB history to hit 30-plus homers in a season by age 23, MLB.com reports. During the Tribe's current 20-game winning streak, Lindor is hitting .364 with a 1.229 OPS to go alongside nine home runs and 19 RBI. Simply put, in his third MLB season, the youngster has emerged as one of the most dynamic players in the game.

Crawford is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

Crawford will be given the night off against Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers after starting 14 consecutive games. Kelby Tomlinson will fill the void at shortstop and bat eighth in his stead.

Arcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Arcia will head to the bench following eight straight starts as Eric Sogard takes over at shortstop. While the 23-year-old Arcia has shown more growth at the plate this season than many expected, he's been up and down since the All-Star break, and he will likely continue to sit once a week or so as the Brewers look to keep Sogard, Hernan Perez and Jonathan Villar involved.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a triple, a solo home run and a second run scored in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

The 24-year-old appears to have finally shaken off the last of his rust following his lengthy DL stay, going 8-for-20 over the last five games with five extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple and two homers). The Nats have now clinched the NL East title, so there could be more rest days coming for Turner and the rest of the starters as the team looks ahead to October, but he should be a force at the top of the order when he is in the lineup.
