Turang (knee) is not in the starting lineup Thursday night against the Dodgers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Turang is dealing with left knee pain, and he underwent an MRI on Thursday. Manager Pat Murphy did not rule the second baseman out past Thursday's contest, but Turang is expected to get a second opinion following the MRI. If Turang is forced to miss any action moving forward, David Hamilton and Ji Hwan Bae would be the top two candidates to fill in for him at second base.

The Mets released Ibanez on Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Over 38 games at four different levels (including 31 contests with Triple-A Syracuse), Ibanez slashed .310/.338/.469 with five home runs and 22 RBI across 157 plate appearances. However, in his brief time in the majors with the Athletics and Mets in 2026, he has recorded only two hits in 23 at-bats.

Nunez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

It's a routine day off for Nunez, who had started each game in August before Thursday's breather. Jorbit Vivas will fill in at second base for the Nationals.

Hoerner is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Nationals.

After starting each of the previous 13 games, Hoerner will get a breather on the final day of the Cubs' road trip. Pedro Ramirez will cover second base in Hoerner's stead.

Godbout (hand) has gone 0-for-9 with three strikeouts over his first two games at Double-A Portland since being assigned to the affiliate Tuesday after being reinstated from High-A Greenville's 60-day injured list.

Godbout slashed .277/.410/.492 with seven home runs and two stolen bases over 34 games with Greenville before hitting the shelf June 2 after fracturing his left hand and requiring surgery. The 23-year-old shortstop kicked off a rehab assignment at Single-A Salem on July 31, and after playing in five games in the Carolina League, the Red Sox decided that he was ready to make his Double-A debut.

Young (head) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

Young was removed from Wednesday's contest due to dizziness. He's no longer experiencing dizziness but is still not feeling great, per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. With southpaw Max Fried on the bump for the Yankees, it make sense to give the left-handed-hitting Young a day off. Brendan Donovan is sliding over to second base, and Weston Wilson will play third base for the Mariners.

The Athletics outrighted Ornelas to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Ornelas has been outrighted previously, so he has the ability to elect free agency. If he does decide to stick around, the 26-year-old will provide the Athletics with some infield depth at Las Vegas.

Genao started at second base and went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 win over Detroit.

Genao replaced the primary second baseman, Travis Bazzana, for the second time in the last three games in which the Guardians faced a left-handed starter. Bazzana has a .192./.306/.240 slash line over 121 plate appearances against lefties. The switch-hitting Genao logged an .881 OPS against left-handers while with Triple-A Columbus prior to his call-up to Cleveland.

Peraza was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rangers with a left hand contusion.

Peraza took a 95-mph fastball off his hand during the sixth inning and was replaced on defense at the start of the seventh. He seems to have escaped the incident with nothing more than a bruise, but the Angels could still keep him on the bench for a day or two while he deals with lingering soreness.

Meidroth went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

Meidroth sat out two games while battling a sore left wrist. It didn't seem to be much of a concern when he went deep in the sixth inning to give the White Sox some breathing room. Meidroth has gone 10-for-30 (.333) with three homers and eight RBI over his eight games in August. On the year, he's batting .276 with a .763 OPS, 12 homers, 48 RBI, 68 runs scored, 21 doubles and two stolen bases over 114 contests.
