Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Saturday's World Series Game 4 win over the Astros.

Swanson came to the plate against Cristian Javier with one out and a 2-1 deficit in the bottom of the seventh inning. He took an 0-2 fastball over the right-field wall to tie the game, with Jorge Soler repeating the feat one batter later to give Atlanta the lead. Swanson's postseason has been unimpressive overall even after his Game 4 heroics, as he's hitting just .240/.283/.320 in 14 playoff games.

Rojas underwent an MRI on his left index finger Thursday and could require surgery, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Rojas signed a two-year, $10 million extension earlier in the week, but the news isn't all positive about the veteran shortstop. It's not yet clear exactly what's wrong with his finger, nor is it clear whether any potential procedure could cause him to miss time at the start of next season.

Rojas agreed Wednesday with the Marlins on a two-year, $10 million contract extension, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

The 32-year-old shortstop's new deal keep him on the Marlins' books through 2023 in what looks to be a relative bargain of a deal. While Rojas' lack of high-end tools renders him rather unexciting from a fantasy perspective, he's proven to be a steady compiler when healthy while offering a high batting-average floor. Over his last three seasons in Miami, Rojas has been a near-league-average hitter with a .277/.334/.398 slash line (99 wRC+). He's also graded out well as a defender in each of those years while serving as a sneaky source of speed (27-for-36 on steal attempts).

Camargo was dropped from the roster ahead of the World Series against the Astros, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Camargo has filled a very limited role in the postseason thus far, going hitless in four at-bats off the bench. Pinch hitters will be needed less frequently with the series partially taking place under American League rules, so while Camargo does provide some defensive flexibility, he's been deemed less useful than pinch-running specialist Terrance Gore.

Adames went 2-for-4 in Game 3 of the NLDS against Atlanta on Monday.

Adames got on base with a pair of singles, but his club was unable to capitalize, as Milwaukee was shut out for the second consecutive contest. He's now 4-for-12 with a double and six strikeouts over the first three games of the NLDS.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-0 win over the Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLDS.

Crawford was one of three Giants to go yard Friday as the team cruised to a win in Game 1 of the NLDS. The 34-year-old has now recorded hits in nine of his last 10 games, batting .289 with four home runs, a double, nine runs, eight RBI and a stolen base during that time.

Mauricio was named the High-A East's Top MLB Prospect and also made the circuit's All-Star squad.

A .242/.290/.449 batting line isn't much to write home about, but it's good for a 20-year-old in High-A ball, and he showed noteworthy grit by working his way out of a lengthy early-season slump that lasted from late May to mid-July. He also didn't look daunted after getting promoted to Double-A, batting .323/.364/.452 across eight games there to close out the campaign. Expect Mauricio to open next season in Double-A, where he'll be expected to continue working on trimming his strikeout rate while getting to his power consistently in game action.

Edman went 3-for-5 with a pair of steals and a run scored in Wednesday's wild-card loss to the Dodgers.

Edman led off the game with a single, stole second, advanced to third on a foul out and came around to score on a wild pitch. That proved to be all the runs the Cardinals could manage in their 3-1 defeat, though Edman certainly did his part, accounting for three of the team's five hits.

The Padres included Abrams (lower leg) on their Arizona Fall League roster released Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The 21-year-old shortstop prospect saw his 2021 minor-league season come to an end in late June, when he sustained a fractured left tibia and sprained MCL while playing for Double-A San Antonio. Abrams has since resumed rehabbing at the Padres' spring facility in Peoria, Ariz., and he could be cleared to appear in games in the AFL if he continues to progress well in his recovery. Before sustaining the season-ending injury, Abrams hit .290 with two home runs and 13 stolen bases across 183 plate appearances for San Antonio.

Cruz went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Reds.

Cruz swatted a 408-foot shot in the ninth inning of Sunday's loss for his first MLB long ball. The 6-foot-7 rookie went 3-for-9 with three RBI in his quick two-game taste of big-league action this season.
