Schmitt (elbow) is not in San Francisco's lineup Tuesday in Colorado.

Schmitt is dealing with an elbow injury that he suffered on a hit-by-pitch in Monday's series opener versus the Rockies. He stayed in the game for one batter but was ultimately lifted for a pinch runner. Despite X-rays returning negative Monday, Christian Koss is serving as the starting second baseman and batting eighth Tuesday.

Edman (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Edman has been ramping up his rehab from a right ankle sprain and is ready to test things out in a game setting. While Edman will be the designated hitter Tuesday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Edman will focus primarily on center field on his rehab assignment, suggesting that's the position he'll likely settle in at when back with the big club. Edman has been out since early August but could rejoin the Dodgers for their homestand next week.

Saggese is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Athletics.

Saggese had started every game since Aug. 8 and has a modest five-game hitting streak going, but he made a pair of errors in Monday's loss to the Athletics. Jose Fermin will cover second base and bat seventh for St. Louis.

Keaschall is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the White Sox.

The 23-year-old started the previous six games and will receive a day off after posting a .208/.321/.500 slash line with two homers during that span. Austin Martin is receiving a start at second base and batting sixth Tuesday in Keaschall's place.

Fernandez was promoted from the Arizona Complex League to Single-A Lynchburg on Aug. 28.

Fernandez passed his stateside debut with flying colors, slashing .333/.398/.558 with six home runs and 16 steals in 43 ACL games, and this run with the Hillcats to close the year will just be the cherry on top. The 18-year-old switch hitter's first two games at Single-A have come at shortstop, but he also saw double-digit games at third base and second base while playing at the complex. Like many young Guardians infield prospects before him, Fernandez is undersized (listed at 5-foot-9, 155 pounds) and seen as a hit-over-power prospect who could grow into sneaky power, so he exceeded expectations as a slugger this summer, albeit against weak rookie-level pitching.

Albies went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Cubs.

The second baseman has produced multi-hit performances in five of the last seven games, a stretch in which Albies is batting .393 (11-for-28) with three doubles, three homers and 11 RBI. He's had a down season overall due to lingering wrist issues, but a strong finish to 2025 should be enough to convince Atlanta that the 28-year-old still has a place in the team's future plans.

Jackson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored Monday in a 4-3 win over the Padres.

The versatile rookie's fifth-inning long ball broke a 2-2 tie, and he scored the game-winning run in the seventh on a Dylan Beavers single. Jackson continues to rake -- he's riding a 12-game hitting streak during which he's slashing .340/.364/.585 with three homers, 11 RBI and eight runs. His hot bat has made him an everyday presence in Baltimore's lineup, and he's been splitting his time between third base and right field.

The Pirates recalled Yorke from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

Yorke was a regular in the Pittsburgh lineup for the second half of September last season, but after failing to win a spot on the Opening Day roster coming out of spring training, he's spent the entire 2025 campaign to date at Indianapolis. The 23-year-old has been serviceable as an everyday player for Indianapolis with a .287/.348/.406 slash line, seven home runs and 17 steals over 440 plate appearances, but he didn't dominate enough at any point to earn a call-up to Pittsburgh until the active roster expanded to 28 men Monday. Yorke will likely stick with the Pirates throughout the final month of the season, but he could end up filling a utility role and may not be in line for steady playing time.

Turang went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks Monday in a 10-8 loss to the Phillies.

Turang got Milwaukee off to a quick start with a solo blast to lead off the bottom half of the first inning. The long ball was his second in as many days, and Turang has now gone deep 11 times across his past 28 contests. Over that stretch, he's slashing a robust .340/.407/.708 with 24 RBI, 23 runs and three stolen bases. The power surge has seemingly come out to nowhere -- prior to that 28-game stretch, Turang had homered just once over his previous 30 appearances.

Marte went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-5 extra-inning loss to the Rangers.

Marte was back at second base after three games at designated hitter. He hasn't been reported to have an injury, and his recent string of games in a non-fielding role could simply be part of the plan to keep both Blaze Alexander and Jordan Lawlar involved down the stretch. Marte's bat has been fine lately, as he's gone 11-for-41 (.268) over his last 11 games, but his homer Monday was his first extra-base hit in that span. For the season, he's posted a .290/.390/.527 slash line with 24 homers, 61 RBI, 76 runs scored and four stolen bases over 105 games.
