Swanson went 3-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and five runs scored Wednesday as the Braves pummeled the Marlins, 29-9.

Swanson got on base in five of his six at-bats (three singles, a walk and a hit-by-pitch) and came around to score all five times in Atlanta's blowout win. The 26-year-old has reached safely at least four times in three of the last four games and will take a .306/.372/.482 slash line into Thursday's series opener against Austin Voth and the Nationals.

Story went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Padres.

Story took Zach Davies yard in the first inning for his 10th home run of the season. It was his first homer since Aug. 24, though he has stolen eight bases in that 13-game span. Story has delivered across the box score all season, as he's maintained a .292/.367/.554 line with 34 runs scored and 22 RBI across 188 plate appearances.

Berti (finger) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against Atlanta.

Berti will remain out of the lineup for a second consecutive game after bruising his finger Monday. It's unclear when he'll return to the field, but he isn't expected to spend time on the injured list. Jazz Chisholm will start at second base Wednesday.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Garcia will hit the bench for the second time in three games, this time giving way to Freddy Galvis at shortstop after Kyle Farmer received the nod in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Pirates. Though the Reds don't appear ready to pull the plug on Garcia as their everyday shortstop just yet, the 22-year-old has gotten off to an underwhelming 5-for-34 (.147 average) start to his big-league career.

Story went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 14-5 loss to the Padres.

Story hit a double in the first inning and stole third base before coming home on a Nolan Arenado homer. In the fifth, Story's fielder's choice plated Tony Wolters. The stolen base was Story's fourth in his last three games and 13th of the season. He's slashing .293/.370/.543 with nine homers, 21 RBI and 33 runs scored through 41 contests.

Camargo was optioned to Atlanta's alternate training site Wednesday.

Adeiny Hechavarria had already started to cut into Camargo's playing time, so with Ozzie Albies (wrist) getting activated, this was a natural corresponding move. He has a .200/.244/.367 slash line on the season.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI, a stolen base and a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rays.

Even with only one hit Tuesday, the 27-year-old was able to contribute in a number of categories. Turner seems to be putting it all together with a .359/.413/.623 slash line, nine homers, 11 doubles, 35 runs, 25 RBI and six stolen bases in 41 games.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during a 7-3 loss to the Twins in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

He also found ways to be productive in the nightcap, going 0-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored. Edman's sixth-inning shot off Jose Berrios was his third homer of the year, but two of them have come in the last three days as he tries to re-discover last season's form in time for the Cards' stretch run.

Berti (finger) is not starting Tuesday against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Berti bruised his finger during Monday's contest, and the issue is still bothering him Tuesday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports. He could still miss a few more days with the injury but is not expected to head to the injured list. Jazz Chisholm will start at second base.

Ahmed will sit Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Ahmed's strong defense has kept him in the lineup for all but two games this season despite the fact that he's hitting just .238/.310/.371. Josh Rojas starts at shortstop in his absence.
