The Pirates designated Tellez for assignment Tuesday.

Tellez slashed .310/.347/.533 from the beginning of June through the end of August, but he's hit only .116/.255/.209 in September and had been seeing his playing time dwindle. The Pirates have elected to move on from the veteran now and give his at-bats to others. Billy Cook is at first base for the Pirates on Tuesday and should share that spot with Connor Joe and Jared Triolo in the final week.

Tellez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Brewers.

This is the fifth time over the Pirates' last 10 games versus righties that Tellez has been out of the lineup, as the club is getting a look at some younger players down the stretch. Billy Cook will handle first base Tuesday.

Walker went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Giants.

Walker was back in the lineup after getting a day off Sunday. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo talked to Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports on Monday about giving Walker time off following his return from an oblique injury. "Yesterday I took [Christian] Walker out of the lineup... It's probably about three or four days too late to give him a day off, talking to the medical team," Lovullo said. Walker should be available for the final five games of the season.

Canha went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Canha hasn't seen much more than a short-side platoon role since he was traded from the Tigers to the Giants at the deadline. He's batting .282 with San Francisco, though he has just two extra-base hits (both doubles) and four RBI across 30 games with the team. Overall, Canha has a .240/.343/.343 slash line with seven home runs, 42 RBI, 45 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 123 games this season.

Wade is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Arizona.

Southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez is on the hill for the Diamondbacks, so the left-handed-hitting Wade will yield to Mark Canha at first base. Though he's slashing .333/.439/.424 over 42 plate appearances versus lefties this season, Wade has just three starts against left-handers in 2024.

Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, three RBI and two runs during Sunday's 10-9 win against Arizona.

The first baseman delivered in the clutch Sunday with an RBI double in the seventh and a game-tying, two-run single in the ninth to help Milwaukee erase an eight-run deficit. Hoskins continues to carry a hot bat and has a .321/.406/.607 slash line with two homers over his past nine games, though he also has a 46.9 percent strikeout rate during that stretch.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Atlanta.

All four of Miami's runs on the afternoon came on solo shots, with Burger launching his in the fourth inning off Grant Holmes. The 28-year-old slugger has gone yard three times in the last six contests, part of a 12-game stretch in which he's slashing .304/.327/.522 with nine RBI. Burger sits two long balls short of recording his second straight 30-homer campaign with six games left on the Marlins' schedule.

Busch went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sundays' 5-0 win over the Nationals.

Busch entered Sunday 0-for-11 over his last four games. He snapped the slump with a pair of extra-base hits, including a fourth-inning solo shot that gave the Cubs a 3-0 lead. He's been a bit streaky this year, but Busch has been able to put up decent power numbers with 21 homers, 65 RBI and a .448 slugging percentage. He's added 28 doubles, two stolen bases, 72 runs scored and a .252 batting average over 147 contests, mostly in a strong-side platoon role.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The lefty-hitting Bauers will head to the bench for the series finale while southpaw Jordan Montgomery toes the rubber for Arizona. Bauers will cede his spot in the lineup to Gary Sanchez, who serves as the Brewers' starting catcher while William Contreras gets a day off behind the plate to handle designated-hitter duties.

Arraez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

He will get a rare day off against a righty (Sean Burke) as Fernando Tatis takes over at designated hitter, opening up right field for David Peralta. Arraez has gone just 1-for-15 in his last three games after hitting safely in 13 straight contests to begin September.
