Swanson (wrist) is expected to return to the Braves on Saturday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson has been out since May 4 with wrist inflammation. The young shortstop has been rehabbing with Low-A Rome but will get the day off Friday before likely heading back to Atlanta on Saturday. Prior to the injury, the 2015 first-overall pick was hitting a solid .289/.336/.430 in 28 games.

Swanson (wrist) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Low-A Rome on Thursday, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Swanson will join Rome for what is expected to be a brief rehab assignment after getting through a second day of batting practice with no issues Wednesday. The 24-year-old, who has been on the shelf since May 4 with a wrist injury, could be back with the Braves after appearing in just one or two minor-league games, though that will likely depend on how his wrist responds to the game action. Johan Camargo will seemingly return to a utility role upon Swanson's activation, which could come as early as Friday.

Swanson (wrist) took batting practice on the field Tuesday and will do so again ahead of the Braves' game Wednesday against the Cubs, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. He could be activated from the 10-day disabled list as soon as Friday.
EDGE Analysis
After taking a week off to let his inflamed left wrist heal, Swanson was cleared to resume swinging a bat Sunday and has steadily increased his activity from there. If Swanson endures no recurring pain in his wrist during batting practice Wednesday, Braves manager Brian Snitker suggested the shortstop would likely head out on a one-day rehab assignment Thursday with Low-A Rome before returning from the DL over the weekend. Once Swanson is back in the fold, he should reclaim an everyday role in the middle infield, resulting Johan Camargo sliding into a utility role.

Swanson (wrist inflammation) has done some throwing but hasn't begun hitting or catching balls yet, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
The wrist inflammation is on his left (glove) wrist, which is why he can throw but not catch yet. We knew shortly after he landed on the DL on May 4 that he would need more than the minimum 10 days, and it now sounds like a late May return would be the best his owners could hope for. Johan Camargo will continue to fill in at shortstop in the meantime.

Swanson (wrist) won't travel with the Braves during the team's seven-game, three-city road trip that runs Tuesday through May 14, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson is eligible to come off the 10-day disabled list ahead of Sunday's series finale in Miami, but he'll be sidelined for more than the minimum amount of time with the Braves having yet to release a timetable for his return. While his teammates are on the road this week, Swanson will remain in Atlanta to receive further treatment for his inflamed left wrist. Swanson said Sunday that he hasn't required an injection and believes he'll be able to address the injury solely through rest and regular checkups with the Atlanta training staff. The Braves should have a better idea regarding a return date for Swanson once he's able to resume baseball activities.

Swanson was put on the 10-day disabled list prior to Friday's game due to left wrist inflammation.
EDGE Analysis
Since Swanson's sore left wrist didn't appear to be healing as quick as the team would've hoped, both parties agreed that a short stint on the disabled list was the best route. The shortstop will be eligible to return against the Marlins on May 13. In a corresponding move, Preston Tucker was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Manager Brian Snitker said that Swanson (wrist) will likely remain on the bench for Friday's game against San Francisco, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson didn't play Thursday after being removed from Wednesday's game with a sore right wrist. Johan Camargo will likely get another start in the infield in his place. There has been no further update on Swanson's status, and it doesn't appear as though this injury is serious enough for a trip to the disabled list, so consider him day-to-day.

Swanson (wrist) is not expected to play Thursday against the Mets, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson was lifted from Wednesday's game against the Mets for precautionary reasons with a sore right wrist. While he's being labeled as day-to-day, it sounds like the Braves will play it safe and hold him out of the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale with hopes of him returning to action Friday. Johan Camargo will likely start at shortstop in his stead.

Swanson was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mets for precautionary reasons with a sore right wrist.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson was 0-for-2 with a pair of strikeouts before being replaced by Johan Camargo prior to the bottom of the sixth inning. He should be considered day-to-day for now.
