The Atlanta Braves placed right fielder Nick Markakis and shortstop Dansby Swanson on the 10-day injured list Saturday.
Markakis suffered a broken left wrist when he was hit by a pitch Friday night. Manager Brian Snitker said Markakis won't need surgery and could return in six to eight weeks.
Markakis is batting .284 with nine homers and 53 RBI. He hadn't missed a game since 2017 and has played at least 155 in each of his five seasons in Atlanta.
Swanson has a bruised right foot, and Snitker is hopeful he will return after only 10 days on the IL.
Outfielder Adam Duvall, an NL All-Star with Cincinnati in 2016, was recalled from Class AAA Gwinnett, and lefthander Max Fried was activated off the injury list.
Etc.
• Kansas City traded lefthander Jake Diekman to Oakland for two prospects. The Royals also recalled pitcher Kyle Zimmer and first baseman Ryan O'Hearn from Class AAA Omaha and designated first baseman Lucas Duda for assignment.
• The Dodgers put righthander Ross Stripling on the injured list because of tendinitis in his right biceps.
• The Mets placed outfielder Dominic Smith on the IL because of a stress reaction in his left foot.
