Swanson is out of the lineup Saturday against the Nationals.
The Braves' top prospect has recorded multiple hits in two of three games to begin his major league career, but it seems manager Brian Snitker feels the 22-year-old isn't quite ready for someone like Max Scherzer, or perhaps he doesn't want to shake his confidence. Regardless, Chase d'Arnaud will get the nod at shortstop Saturday, but Swanson still figures to play on a near-everyday basis down the stretch.
