Miguel Rojas SS | LAD
Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Getting action at third Thursday
Rojas (finger) is starting and third base and batting ninth Thursday against the White Sox.
Rojas appeared to injure his finger by jamming it on a stolen-base attempt Sunday in Kansas City and left the game early. After not appearing in the first two games of the series against the White Sox, he is in the lineup Thursday in place of Max Muncy (knee) at third.

Brice Turang 2B | MIL
Brewers' Brice Turang: Rare day off Thursday
Turang isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
Turang slashed .421/.452/.579 with 10 RBI and 11 runs scored during his 14-game hitting streak, which came to an end when he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader. He'll get a chance to rest during Thursday's series finale in Queens while Andruw Monasterio starts at second base and bats ninth.

Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH
Mets' Jeff McNeil: Sitting versus southpaw
McNeil is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Brewers.
Southpaw Jose Quintana is toeing the rubber for the Brewers, marking the third straight time the left-handed-hitting McNeil has been absent from the lineup against a lefty. He had started versus four left-handers in a row before that and has a higher OPS against southpaws (.850) than he does righties (.812) this season, so McNeil shouldn't be considered an auto-sit versus lefties moving forward. Brett Baty is at second base and Tyrone Taylor is in center field for the Mets in the series finale.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Clutch homer isn't enough
Marte went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to San Francisco.
Marte swatted his 18th home run of the season Wednesday, tagging Camilo Doval for a game-tying, two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth inning to send the game to extras. Marte has now hit six home runs in his last 12 games, going 16-for-47 (.340) with four doubles during that stretch. The star second baseman is slashing .300/.404/.595 in 2025.

Adam Frazier 2B | KC
Pirates' Adam Frazier: Fading into reserve role
Frazier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
The left-handed-hitting Frazier will hit the bench for the Pirates' third straight matchup with a right-hander (Sonny Gray) and appears to have moved back into a utility role. Though he's posted a .762 OPS while batting .306 dating back to May 20, Frazier has been overtaken in left field by Tommy Pham, who offers more power upside with four extra-base hits (two home runs, two doubles) in his last seven contests.

Luis Garcia 2B | WAS
Nationals' Luis Garcia: Not in lineup for first game
Garcia is absent from the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.
The left-handed-hitting Garcia will sit out the first game of the day, but he should be back in the lineup for the nightcap against right-hander Jack Flaherty. Amed Rosario will start at second base and bat third in the matinee.

Donovan Walton 2B | PHI
Phillies' Donovan Walton: Traded to Phillies
The Phillies acquired Walton from the Mets on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.
Walton has spent all of this season at Triple-A Syracuse, where he's slashed .222/.315/.377 with 11 home runs over 73 games. The 31-year-old can play every infield positions and also left field, giving the Phillies some experienced utility depth at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Christian Koss SS | SF
Giants' Christian Koss: Placed on injured list
The Giants placed Koss on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamstring strain, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Koss had to make an early exit from Monday's game after injuring his hamstring during his third at-bat, and he'll now be forced to sit out at least another 10 days. With Matt Chapman (hand) and Casey Schmitt (wrist) also on the IL, Wilmer Flores is likely to see some time at third base in the near future. Meanwhile, Luis Matos will come up from Triple-A Sacramento to replenish the Giants' bench depth.

Anthony Seigler C | MIL
Brewers' Anthony Seigler: Officially added to roster
The Brewers selected Seigler's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
Seigler is a versatile player capable of handling catcher, second base and third base. He's a switch hitter but is a much better hitter from the left side of the plate, as he posted a .975 OPS against righties as compared to a .445 OPS versus lefties this season at Nashville. The 26-year-old is also a capable baserunner, having gone 20-for-23 on stolen-base attempts over 63 games in 2025. Seigler will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.
