Cooper was diagnosed with a fractured left pinky finger after he exited Tuesday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper went 1-for-2 before he was hit by a pitch on the left hand during the fifth inning, and he was promptly replaced by a pinch runner. The injury should bring an end to the 31-year-old's 2022 campaign with just over a week left in the regular season. He played in 119 games and posted a .261/.337/.415 slash line with nine home runs, 33 doubles, 50 RBI and 37 runs.

Dixon had his contract selected by the Padres on Tuesday.

Dixon joined the Friars on a minor-league deal in March and will join the big-league club with nine games left in the regular season. The 30-year-old had a 1.313 OPS with 13 home runs in 25 games for Triple-A El Paso and is looking to see big-league action for the first time since 2020 with Detroit.

Wade isn't starting Tuesday against the Rockies, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After going 0-for-10 during the Giants' last series in Arizona, Wade will start Tuesday's game in the dugout. Mike Yastrzemski will move over to right field in Wade's absence, affording Austin Slater a start in center field.

Diaz (shoulder) expects to be in Wednesday's lineup against the Guardians, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

According to Topkin, manager Kevin Cash also said he expects Diaz back Wednesday. Diaz is available off the bench Tuesday while Isaac Paredes gets the start at the hot corner.

Young was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

After getting called up earlier this month, Young will return to the minors as Willson Contreras (ankle) and Seiya Suzuki (paternity) return to the active roster. Young went 5-for-19 at the plate and put up a respectable .732 OPS during his short time in Chicago.

Solano (eye) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Pirates.

Solano has not played since Sept. 23. Jake Fraley will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup.

Aranda is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Guardians, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Aranda will sit in favor of Taylor Walls for the second game in a row. While Aranda has a strong track record as a hitter in the minors, his defense is below average, so he needs to be hitting to justify getting at-bats. He is slashing .100/.273/.259 over the last 10 games.

Diaz (shoulder) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Guardians, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

He was supposedly trending in the right direction Sunday and was available off the bench, but Diaz has not appeared in a game since Sept. 19. Isaac Paredes will continue to start at third base.

Olson went 1-for-2 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Monday's 8-0 win over the Nationals.

His two-run blast off Cory Abbott in the fourth inning opened the scoring and gave Bryce Elder all the run support he would need. Olson snapped a 17-game homer drought with the performance, and his bat is showing some flickers of life with the playoffs on the horizon -- he's gone 6-for-25 (.240) over his last seven starts with two doubles in addition to Monday's long ball, Olson's 29th of the season.

Solano (eye) isn't in Monday's lineup versus the Pirates.

The 34-year-old will miss his fourth consecutive game with an eye infection. Kyle Farmer is the designated hitter in place of Solano, who should be considered day-to-day until further updates are available.
