Seager is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Eric Stephen of SB Nation reports.

After starting the team's past seven games, Seager may simply be receiving a scheduled day of rest ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Phillies. The star shortstop should be back in the lineup Monday against the Giants. Enrique Hernandez will draw the start in his absence.

Owings is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Owings has yet to cool down to begin the 2017 season, collecting 28 hits over his first 88 at-bats for a blistering .318 average. He'll get the day off Sunday and be replaced by Nick Ahmed, but expect Owings to be back in the lineup Tuesday against the Nationals.

Swanson went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run during Saturday's win over Milwaukee.

It's been a disappointing start for Swanson, and his .149/.196/.230 slash line has him off the fantasy radar for now. However, the Braves have committed to him, and after his respectable production in the majors last season (.803 OPS and .334 wOBA), it's way too early to write Swanson off. This could also prove to be a profitable buy-low spot for the 23-year-old shortstop.

Story went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Although the strikeouts continue to pile up for the young shortstop, he's also continually flashing his prodigious power. Story's batting average is currently residing at a lowly .184 mark, but he also holds a .226 ISO, meaning that his power should continue to play up even if his average dips a bit from last season.

Crawford (groin) was activated from the bereavement list and placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford was reevaluated upon his return from a family funeral and deemed unable to play by team doctors. The move is retroactive to the beginning of his bereavement leave, so he'll be eligible to return next Saturday in Cincinnati. Until then, the Giants will continue leaning on rookie Christian Arroyo, who has already smashed two home runs through his first five MLB games.

Wendle was reinstated from the disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Wendle hit the DL on April 1 with a shoulder injury, but he's now fully recovered and should return to action with Nashville within the next few days. The infielder has already seen time in six games for Nashville on the year, amassing eight hits in 22 at-bats to go with three RBI. Last season, Wendle hit .279 across 491 Triple-A at-bats.

Rojas (leg) went 0-for-2 at the plate after subbing in at third base in the sixth inning during Friday's loss to the Pirates.

Rojas returned to action Friday after missing more than a week with leg tightness. The 28-year-old is slashing .256/.327/.302 in 17 games this season and should continue to offer depth around the infield for the Marlins.

Correa went 2-for-5 with two RBI in a 9-4 win over Oakland on Friday.

Correa has now hit safely in five straight games with at least one extra-base hit in four of them. This recent run comes after a stretch in which he was hitless in 19 at-bats.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 7-3 win over the Tigers.

His two-run shot in the ninth inning off rookie reliever Joe Jimenez was Anderson's second homer of the season. The young shortstop also struck out twice, however, leaving him with a 2:20 BB:K through 20 games, and his .224/.250/.329 slash line may not improve much until he learns to control the strike zone better.

Gordon is not in the lineup Friday against the Pirates, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

It will be the veteran's first off day this season, as Derek Dietrich makes the start at the keystone. Gordon is hitting a sharp .281 at the plate, notching 13 runs scored and leading the team with four stolen bases. He will look to build on his four-game hitting streak upon his return to the lineup.
