Castro was diagnosed with a torn ligament in his right thumb Thursday and will miss the remainder of the season, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Castro has spent the entire season in the minors, although injuries limited him to playing just 20 games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, during which he slashed .211/.282/.310 with seven RBI across 78 plate appearances. It's unclear if he will be ready to go for the start of spring training in 2025.

Albies is now wearing a soft cast on his fractured left wrist, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

There still isn't a definitive timetable for when Albies can begin swinging a bat, but he should be getting close after swapping out his hard cast for a soft one. The second baseman has continued to run and throw since going on the 10-day injured list in late July due to wrist fracture. Albies is expected back around mid-September.

Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI against the Nationals on Wednesday.

Rodgers accounted for Colorado's only run of the game and continued his surge in August. Across 17 games, he's hit .364 with three homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored. Even more impressive is that eight of those contests have come away from the hitter-friendly Coors Field.

India went 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 11-7 win over the Blue Jays in Toronto.

The Reds found themselves in a 6-0 hole after three innings, but by the time India launched back-to-back homers with Noelvi Marte to lead off the top of the sixth, the visitors held a 9-6 lead. Cincinnati's offense also showed off its athleticism in the comeback, as India, Marte, Elly De La Cruz and Spencer Steer all collected a homer and a steal. India has flipped a switch in August, and over the last seven games he's batting .370 (10-for-27) with three homers, five runs and seven RBI.

Guillorme started at second base and went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-8 win over Miami.

Guillorme made his debut for the Diamondbacks, who signed him earlier in the week in the wake of starting second baseman Ketel Marte (ankle) landing on the injured list. He's expected to serve as the backup at the keystone while Marte is sidelined, but the lefty-swinging Guillorme provides a useful complement to primary fill-in Kevin Newman.

Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Stott will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed-hitting regular Brandon Marsh as Atlanta sends ace southpaw Max Fried to the hill. Edmundo Sosa will fill in for Stott at second base.

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

Fermin is taking the roster spot of the struggling Nolan Gorman, who has been optioned to Memphis. The 25-year-old Fermin will offer St. Louis a backup option at second base, third base and shortstop, and he could see some starts versus left-handed pitching.

The Cardinals optioned Gorman to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

Gorman's strikeout rate on the season ballooned to 37.6 percent after he went 0-for-4 with three punchouts in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers. Strikeouts are nothing new for Gorman, but this season, they haven't been accompanied by much production, with the 24-year-old's OPS cratering to .671 after an .805 mark in 2023. With Gorman out of the picture, Brendan Donovan should see most of his playing time at second base moving forward.

McNeil is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Orioles.

The Orioles have southpaw Cole Irvin on the hill, so the left-handed-hitting McNeil will begin Wednesday's afternoon game on the bench. Jose Iglesias will start at second base and bat seventh for the Mets.

Lux went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

Lux got the scoring started for the Dodgers in the fourth with a solo home run to center for his second home run in as many games. Lux has been one of the best hitters in baseball over the last month-plus. Since July 11, he's slashing .358/.423/.670 with eight homers, 24 RBI and 17 runs, and his 1.092 OPS leads the National League over that span. For the season, Lux is now slashing .254/.313/.400 with 10 homers, 45 RBI, 44 runs, four steals and a 29:85 BB:K in 387 plate appearances.
