Swanson swiped a bag in the fifth frame and then doubled and scored the game's first run in the eighth. The shortstop is finishing the season strong, hitting safely in eight of his past 10 contests with three multi-hit efforts, five extra-base hits and two steals. On the season, he's batting .242 with 16 home runs, 66 RBI, 82 runs scored and a career-high 19 stolen bases across 593 plate appearances.

Caballero is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Caballero will take a seat on the bench Saturday after going 0-for-6 across his last two contests. His absence will put Brandon Lowe at second base and open a spot in the lineup for Yandy Diaz to serve as the designated hitter.

De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a double in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Cubs.

De La Cruz lofted a flyball to left center that fell in between two Chicago outfielders that he tried to stretch it to a triple, but he was thrown out by Pete Crow-Armstrong. Reds interim manager Freddie Benavides told Mark Sheldon of MLB.com that it was mistake for De La Cruz to not stop at second base. "The ball was in front of him," Benavides said. "He's got to realize that [Crow-Armstrong] has got a great arm. It's something me and him talked about, we addressed. It's a mistake and he's going to learn from it." While it may have been a tactical error on the part of De La Cruz, it does not take away from his fantasy value. The 22-year-old infielder has an .815 OPS with 25 home runs, 74 RBI, a league-leading 65 steals and 104 runs scored over 158 games.

Edwards went 4-for-6 with three triples, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over Toronto.

It was Edwards' fourth consecutive multi-hit contest, during which he had five extra-base hits and seven RBI. For the year, he owns an impressive .327/.396/.420 slash line with 17 extra-base hits and 37 runs scored through 68 games.
