Swanson (back) is officially out of the lineup for Wednesday's Grapefruit League game, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop's back tightened up on him Saturday against the Marlins, and the Braves don't want to take any chances with their young star. "Yeah, [Saturday] was my first time playing that many innings, so just kind of getting used to being out there for that long," said Swanson. "Just a little bit of tightness, no need to push it past something and make it serious. Just kind of a day-by-day thing." At this point, there's no reason to bump Swanson down on any fantasy cheat sheets, but if the back issue lingers into next week, it'll be cause for at least some concern.
