  • Angels' Michael Stefanic: Sitting down Tuesday

    Stefanic isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.

    Stefanic appeared as a pinch runner during Sunday's contest, suggesting that he's moved past his calf issue, but he'll grab a seat on the bench Tuesday while Charles Leblanc starts at second base in place of the injured Brandon Drury (hamstring).

  • Brandon Drury 2B | LAA

    Angels' Brandon Drury: Remains out Tuesday

    Drury (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.

    Drury will remain on the bench for a fifth consecutive contest as he continues to nurse a left hamstring issue. Charles Leblanc will draw another start at second base and bat seventh against Chicago.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Receiving Tuesday off

    Marte is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

    Marte started the previous six games and will receive a maintenance day after going 6-for-22 with a double and two homers during that stretch. Luis Guillorme is receiving a start at second base while batting eighth.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Getting breather against LHP

    Holliday isn't in the Orioles' lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

    Left-hander Blake Snell will throw the Giants' first pitch Tuesday, meaning the left-handed-hitting Holliday will retreat to the bench to begin the game. Livan Soto will start at second base in his place and bat ninth.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Back in big leagues

    The Giants recalled Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    The 25-year-old spent the past couple weeks in the minors but will rejoin the big club Tuesday as Matt Chapman heads to the paternity list. Schmitt has a .206/.255/.324 slash line in 277 plate appearances in the majors this season.

  • Will Wagner 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Will Wagner: Placed on 60-day IL

    The Blue Jays placed Wagner on the 60-day injured list Tuesday due to left knee inflammation.

    Wagner's knee injury could help explain why he hasn't played in a game since Friday, and his move to the 60-day IL will officially put an early end to his season. The 26-year-old infielder will finish 2024 with a solid .305/.337/.451 slash line alongside two homers and 11 RBI through 24 games in the majors. In corresponding roster moves, Bo Bichette (calf) was activated from the 10-day IL, and Nick Robertson was claimed off waivers from the Angels (and optioned to Triple-A Buffalo) to fill the open 40-man spot.

  • Rays' Richie Palacios: Starting rehab assignment

    Palacios (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Palacios will play a few rehab games with Durham before returning from the 10-day injured list during the final week of the series if all goes well. The utility player has been sidelined since early August with a right knee sprain.

  • Vidal Brujan 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Vidal Brujan: Resumes baseball activities

    Brujan (shoulder) resumed taking part in baseball activities last weekend, MLB.com reports.

    Brujan landed on the injured list Aug. 31 with a right shoulder AC joint sprain, an injury that manager Skip Schumaker said had been bothering the 26-year-old for much of the season. Though Brujan is showing daily improvement, it's not clear whether he'll have enough time to fully heal from the injury before the Marlins' season ends Sept. 29.

  • Buddy Kennedy 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Buddy Kennedy: Sent to minors

    The Phillies optioned Kennedy to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    The 25-year-old was called up by Philadelphia on Sept. 6 but will return to Triple-A with Edmundo Sosa (back) being activated from the injured list Tuesday. Kennedy appeared in seven games during his brief time in the majors and went 2-for-10 with a double, two walks, two RBI and a run scored.

  • Rays' Christopher Morel: Back in lineup Tuesday

    Morel (Achilles) will start in left field and bat fifth in Tuesday's game versus the Red Sox.

    Morel missed each of the last two contests with right Achilles discomfort, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go as the Rays open a series against the Red Sox. Each of Morel's last three starts have been in left field after he had previously only played second base since joining Tampa Bay.
