Seager went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs in a 6-1 win against the Giants on Wednesday.

He's contributing in every fantasy category, as Seager's solid .286 average is accompanied by six homers, 21 RBI, 27 runs and a pair of steals. After exploding onto the scene over the past two seasons, Seager's settled in as one of the game's top shortstops, and it's hard not to feel like the best is yet to come for the impressive 23-year-old.

Baez is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Reds.

Baez had started seven straight contests, but he only batted .115 with six strikeouts in that span, so he'll head to the bench for a night off. Ben Zobrist will take over at second base now that he's healthy again.

Crawford is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Manager Bruce Bochy is employing a righty-heavy lineup with stud southpaw Clayton Kershaw toeing the rubber for Los Angeles, so Crawford will get the day off. Christian Arroyo will slide over to shortstop to fill in for him.

Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

With Adonis Garcia (Achilles) landing on the disabled list Tuesday, Camargo will head back to the big leagues to offer some infield depth. It's unclear if the 23-year-old will see regular playing time at the hot corner or if either Jace Peterson or Danny Santana will receive most of the reps there, but Camargo's .307/.340/.466 slash line in the minors this season certainly bodes well for his stock while he's in the big leagues.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

The homer was his third of the season and first since April 29. Swanson has now put together an eight-game hitting streak, during which he's hitting .345 (10-for-29) with six RBI, and while his strikeouts remain an issue -- he's whiffed 11 times during that stretch -- it's reassuring to see the rookie start to dig himself out of his early-season hole.

Story (shoulder) expects to perform his normal pregame workout routine Wednesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

The power-hitting shortstop began taking dry swings Tuesday and also fielded ground balls, both signs that he's on the upswing of his recovery process. Story also commented that he feels "pretty much back to normal," so as long as Wednesday's program goes off without a hitch, a brief rehab stint could be on tap sometime in the coming days.

Owings singled twice in four at-bats to go with an RBI and his ninth stolen base of the season in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Mets.

Owings' steal was one of three on the evening for the Diamondbacks, who lead the majors in that category. Even if first-year manager Torey Lovullo had been less willing to regularly give Owings the green light on the basepaths, the 25-year-old would still be on track for a breakout campaign thanks to his performance at the dish. Tuesday marked Owings' second game in a row with exactly two hits, boosting his batting average to a robust .321 on the season.

Correa is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Marlins.

With Wednesday's game kicking off at 12:10 pm ET, Astros manager A.J. Hinch decided it was an optimal time to give the star shortstop a break, even with the team heading into an off day Thursday. After a slow start to the season, Correa has been dialed in throughout May, submitting a 1.120 OPS while scoring 16 runs and driving in 15. Marwin Gonzalez will spell Correa in the field in the series finale.

Anderson (personal) returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing four games and went 2-for-4 with a home run in a 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

Anderson was primed to be the hero when his third homer of the season in the top of 11th gave the White Sox the lead in extras, but it wasn't meant to be. Prior to being away from the team over the weekend, Anderson had been in and out of the lineup and dropped from the top of the batting order to the seven-hole. Through it all, the struggling young shortstop has hit in five straight contests with multiple hits in three of them. There are still holes in his plate approach, but there are hopeful signs. During Anderson's five-game hit streak, which has pushed his average to .230, he's struck out just three times in 21 at-bats, well below his 23.5 strikeout percentage for the season.

Seager is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Seager will take a seat for the first time all month as the Giants send lefty-throwing Ty Blach to the mound. It appears to be a routine day of rest for Seager, who is 0-for-5 in his career against Blach. Enrique Hernandez will draw the start at shortstop in his stead.
