Swanson (foot) won't return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Saturday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Both Swanson and the Braves had previously expressed optimism that he would be sidelined for the minimum due to a bruised right foot, but that optimism was evidently unfounded. His right heel was still bothering him when he ran Friday, so he's now not expected to return until early next week.

Reyes was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Reyes has performed very poorly in limited action for the Pirates this season, hitting .128/.190/.128 over 42 plate appearances. He'll fill a bench role during his time with the team.

Seager is not in the lineup Thursday against the Padres.

Seager will get what appears to be a routine day off following a string of 11 consecutive starts. In his place, Kris Negron is starting at shortstop and hitting eighth against lefty Joey Lucchesi.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Crawford jammed his shoulder during Thursday's game against the Phillies, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports. "There's some concern there," the skipper said.

This helps explain why the shortstop was removed from Thursday's game in the fourth inning. Crawford apparently suffered the injury while diving for a grounder. He'll be evaluated in the coming days, but it sounds like the injury could be more than a day-to-day issue.

Rojas is day-to-day after being removed from Thursday's game against the Twins due to right hip tightness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas suffered the injury while running from first to third in the bottom of the third inning Thursday. The shortstop was 1-for-2 prior to being replaced by Yadiel Rivera. The Marlins will likely wait and see how Rojas is feeling during Friday's off day before determining his status for Saturday's series opener against the Rays.

Rojas exited Thursday's game against the Twins with an apparent lower-body injury, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

The shortstop appeared to tweak his leg while running from first to third in the bottom of the third inning and was subsequently replaced by Yadiel Rivera prior to the fourth frame. Rojas will likely be further evaluated during the team's off day Friday before his status for Saturday's series opener against the Rays is determined.

Berti (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Berti has been cleared to rejoin the Marlins after completing a nine-game rehab assignment, slashing .296/.333/.519 with two home runs and a stolen base. Prior to getting injured, he hit .237/.324/.373 in 22 games with the big club. Berti figures to assume a utility role during his time with the Marlins.

Mauricio is slashing .274/.330/.405 through 22 games in July for Low-A Columbia with one home run, one stolen base in four attempts and a 6:18 BB:K.

While the 18-year-old hasn't been setting the world on fire in the Sally League, posting a wRC+ of 104 as a teenager in full-season ball is still impressive. Mauricio remains the No. 1 fantasy prospect in the Mets' system, and while he's still likely a few years away from the majors, he could put together a breakout at any time if the rest of his skill set starts to catch up to his hit tool.

Shewmake is slashing .318/.378/.453 through his first 36 games for Low-A Rome with one home run, four steals and a 13:22 BB:K.

The 21st overall pick in the 2019 draft, Shewmake's age (21 years old) and college background make his early success in the Sally League less of a surprise than the expected outcome, but it's still a lot better than the alternative. Atlanta is leaving him at shortstop for now, but a shift down the defensive spectrum remains possible as Shewmake fills out and matures.

Edman went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in a win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

Edman did a nice job setting the table out of the leadoff spot on a couple of occasions, even though the Cardinals weren't able to drive him home in either. The rookie has reached safely in seven consecutive starts and continues to offer well-balanced contributions at the plate, as evidenced by his four doubles, two triples, four home runs and six stolen bases overall across his first 121 big-league plate appearances.
