NEW YORK (AP) -- With the playoffs around the corner and the Atlanta Braves rolling along, the last thing the NL East champions need is an injury to their starting shortstop.
Dansby Swanson exited Tuesday night's 7-3 victory over the New York Mets and was sent for tests on his sore left wrist - the same one that gave him trouble earlier this season.
''Something in his wrist bothered him after a swing,'' Braves manager Brian Snitker said.
The slumping Swanson, drafted No. 1 overall by Arizona in 2015, lined out to center field in the second inning and was replaced at shortstop by Charlie Culberson.
