  • Jose Fermin 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Back in big leagues

    The Cardinals recalled Fermin from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Helps in comeback win

  • Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Placed on injured list

    The Phillies placed Sosa on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Saturday, with a right groin strain.

    The Phillies were hoping Sosa would be able to return to the starting lineup Tuesday after missing three straight games with a groin injury. Instead, he'll end up spending at least another week on the sidelines. Rafael Lantigua was promoted from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to provide infield depth.

  • Phillies' Rafael Lantigua: Called up Tuesday

    Lantigua had his contract selected from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Lantigua will join the major-league roster after batting .233 with seven home runs, 57 RBI, 82 runs scored and 17 stolen bases over 124 contests with Lehigh Valley this year. He'll replace Edmundo Sosa (groin), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, while Brewer Hicklen was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Sitting again Tuesday

    Edwards (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

    Tuesday will mark Edwards' third consecutive missed start since being scratched from Saturday's lineup with right wrist discomfort. While he takes another day to recover, Javier Sanoja will pick up a start at the keystone and bat ninth.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Provides lone run in loss

    Schmitt went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Schmitt was the only Giant to hit safely in this game, which included his third-inning solo shot for the team's lone run. He had gone cold over the weekend, going 0-for-10 with two walks in three games against the Dodgers. Schmitt is up to 11 homers this year while adding 37 RBI, 30 runs scored, 14 doubles and a .240/.308/.406 slash line across 86 contests. He has not attempted a stolen base in 2025.

  • Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Could return Tuesday

    Sosa has remained sidelined since Friday due to groin soreness, but he's on the brink of a return. The team will have a better idea on whether he'll be back in the starting nine for Tuesday's matchup once Sosa completes his Monday workout.

  • Marlins' Jack Winkler: Returned to minors

    The Marlins optioned Winkler to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

    Winkler appeared in three games since his promotion Sept. 5, going 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles.
