Garcia (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Cubs, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

It's the third straight start Garcia has missed due to soreness in his right wrist. He is considered day-to-day. Darren Baker will make a second straight start at the keystone while Garcia rests.

Atlanta activated Albies (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Albies is finally ready to rejoin Atlanta's lineup after missing most of the second half with a fractured left wrist. The switch hitter will bat only from the right side of the plate for the time being, as he still feels some discomfort when hitting left-handed. Albies has always been a stronger hitter from the right side of the dish, boasting a career .932 OPS versus southpaws.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Brewers.

Marte has scuffled (.184/.295/.368) over 11 games since coming off the injured list earlier this month, but he has knocked in seven runs during that span. He's up to 88 RBI for the season, four shy of the career best he posted in 2019.

Gonzales went 2-for-4 with a triple, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 3-2 win against St. Louis.

Gonzales tripled and scored the contest's first run in the fourth inning, then plated the game-winning RBI on a single in the eighth. The second baseman notched his second straight multi-hit game, and he now has an extra-base hit in three straight contests. Through 17 games in September, Gonzales is batting .302 (19-for-63) with seven runs, seven RBI and two stolen bases.

Gimenez went 3-for-5 with a double and one RBI in Thursday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Twins.

Gimenez logged his first multi-hit effort in over a week, and it was his third hit that sealed the win for the Guardians. He's batting .263 (20-for-76) with five extra-base hits and eight RBI over 18 games in September, and he's added five stolen bases in that span. The second baseman is up to a .253/.301/.337 slash line with 30 steals, eight home runs, 61 RBI and 63 runs scored over 146 games this season.

Garcia (wrist) isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Garcia will be missing his second straight start Thursday as a result of wrist discomfort that flared up during Tuesday's contest. As he continues to recover, Darren Baker will pick up a start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Altuve is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Altuve started the previous six contests after missing one game with soreness in his right side, but he'll be given rest Thursday in what looks to be a routine day off. Mauricio Dubon is at second base for the Astros and Alex Bregman has moved up to the leadoff spot.

Morel is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Red Sox.

Morel had started the last two games after missing the two contests prior to that with a sore Achilles. His absence from the lineup Thursday appears to be a routine day off. Most of Morel's playing time lately has come in left field, but Dylan Carlson will handle that spot for the Rays on Thursday.

Albies (wrist) will be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's game in Miami, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Things were pointing in that direction, but Atlanta presumably wanted to wait to see how he bounced back from a couple rehab games with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday and Wednesday before officially clearing him to return to the active roster. The switch-hitting Albies will bat exclusively from the right side upon his return, at least initially, due to continued discomfort in his fractured left hand when swinging from the left side.

The Marlins designated Devers for assignment Thursday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

Devers was recalled at the start of September but has played sparingly this month while dealing with a hand injury. The 24-year-old slashed just .228/.293/.360 across 209 plate appearances this season with Triple-A Jacksonville.
