Swanson is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson finally showed signs of life at the plate last month, batting .306 in 28 games. However, he's been scuffling a bit as of late, and given the fact that he hasn't sat out since the beginning of June, he'll hit the bench Wednesday. Johan Camargo will pick up a start at shortstop in his stead.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in Monday's win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old has finally turned a corner at the plate and now has a .328/.389/.484 slash line with two homers, 13 RBI and 11 runs through 18 games in June. He's still hitting towards the bottom of the Braves' lineup, but Swanson could get another chance in the two-hole if Brandon Phillips is dealt before the trade deadline.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with two RBI, one walk and scored the winning run Friday during the Braves' 3-2 victory over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson was essentially a one-man band in Atlanta Friday night, driving in the Braves' first two runs before scoring the deciding run. It hasn't been the best season for the 23-year-old shortstop, but he has seven hits in his last 12 at-bats with two walks.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a homer, three RBI and three runs in Wednesday's 14-1 win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
The fine effort pulled his batting average back over the Mendoza Line. It's certainly been a tough year for the 2015 draft's No. 1 overall pick, but it looks like the Braves -- going nowhere as they are -- will continue giving him the opportunity to play every day and gain experience. There are almost certainly better shortstop options kicking around on most waiver wires.

Swanson is not in the lineup Monday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson has showed signs of life at the plate, collecting a hit in each of his last three contests, although he's also struck out four times in that span. He'll head to the bench for a night off Monday with Johan Camargo taking over for him at shortstop.

Swanson will start at shortstop and bat second Sunday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson had been serving as the Braves' No. 8 or 9 hitter in recent games, but he'll move into the upper third of the lineup in the series finale with Brandon Phillips receiving the afternoon off. While batting out of the two hole this season, Swanson has recorded just 10 hits in 70 at-bats (.143 average).

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The fifth-inning shot was Swanson's fifth homer of the season. The young shortstop had gone just 2-for-29 (.069) over nine games heading into the contest and while he still has a seemingly bright future, it's clear Swanson has a lot of adjustments to make in the majors before he'll be a viable fantasy option in most formats.

Swanson is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Pirates, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson has emerged as one of the hottest hitters in the Braves' lineup lately, but he'll hit the bench for rest purposes following a 15-game string of starts, during which he hit .308/.403/.500. The Braves are already beginning to fall out of the playoff race just under two months into the season, but even if the team starts selling off pieces as the trade deadline approaches, Swanson's fantasy outlook shouldn't suffer as a result. He's viewed as a cornerstone piece for the rebuilding Braves.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
After striking out three times in his first three at-bats against Stephen Strasburg, Swanson got a measure of revenge in the eighth inning, crushing a double off the wall in right-center that brought home the Braves' only two runs of the game. Swanson's now slashing .333/.418/.533 over the last two weeks, but his 17 Ks in 45 at-bats over that stretch indicates the young shortstop still has plenty to work on at the plate.

Swanson will start at shortstop and bat second Sunday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Usual No. 2 hitter Brandon Phillips is receiving a day off in the series finale, so Swanson isn't expected to stick in the upper third of the lineup heading into the Braves' four-game slate with the Pirates. After a miserable start to the season, Swanson has at least turned the corner over the last two weeks, recording hits in all but one of his last 12 games while batting .341.
