  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Muncy is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Rockies on Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Muncy has gone 0-for-7 with a walk and a strikeout in his two games since returning from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll begin Wednesday's game on the bench while Enrique Hernandez starts at the hot corner and bats ninth against Rockies southpaw Kyle Freeland.

  • Matt Shaw SS | CHC

    Cubs' Matt Shaw: Scratched Wednesday

    Shaw was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against Atlanta due to personal reasons, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Shaw will step out of the lineup for a day while he tends to a personal matter. In the meantime, Willi Castro will fill in at the hot corner for Chicago and bat eighth.

  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Starting rehab assignment

    Norby (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

    Norby appears to have made a swift recovery from his left quadriceps strain, an injury he suffered just last week. He will be eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Sunday and would seem to have a good shot to be ready to go at that time.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Sitting again versus lefty

    Baty is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Philadelphia.

    The left-handed-hitting Baty has now been out of the lineup each of the last five times the Mets have faced a southpaw. He hadn't previously been in a strict platoon, but the Mets are changing things up as they hope to awaken a dormant offense. Mark Vientos will play third base Wednesday while Starling Marte occupies the designated hitter slot.

  • Graham Pauley 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Graham Pauley: Kicking off rehab assignment

    Pauley (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Pauley has been on the shelf for more than three weeks with a right oblique strain but has been cleared to return to game action. He will play third base for Jacksonville on Wednesday and shouldn't need too many rehab contests before being activated from the 10-day injured list. Pauley will beat Connor Norby (quadriceps) back from the IL, so the former should be the Marlins' primary third baseman when he returns, at least until the latter is ready.

  • Luke Adams 3B | MIL

    Brewers' Luke Adams: Healthy again at Double-A

    Adams (shoulder) went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in his return to the Double-A Biloxi lineup Tuesday after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.

    Adams was back in action for Biloxi for the first time since June 20 after a left shoulder contusion kept him out for an extended period. He was cleared to rejoin the Double-A club after recently wrapping up a nine-game rehab assignment at High-A Wisconsin, during which he slashed .200/.475/.280. During his time with Biloxi this season, Adams has produced a .411 on-base percentage while slugging 11 home runs and stealing 10 bases across 263 plate appearances.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS

    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Pair of steals Tuesday

    Durbin went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases during Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers.

    Durbin logged multiple stolen bases for the third time this season, bringing his season total to 15 steals. The infielder is in the midst of a minor cold spell at the plate, having just one hit in his last 14 at-bats. He's slashing .253/.327/.386 in 443 plate appearances in 2025.

  • Otto Kemp 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Otto Kemp: Homers, steals bag

    Kemp went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win against the Mets.

    Kemp's solo shot in the second inning was his fifth of the year and first since July 27. He was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday and has since started two games at third base. Kemp is seemingly the everyday option at the hot corner while Alec Bohm (shoulder) is out. Kemp is slashing .233/.310/.380 with 12 extra-base hits through 48 MLB games.

  • Brewers' Anthony Seigler: Dispatched back to Triple-A

    The Brewers optioned Seigler to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

    Seigler has batted only .194/.292/.210 with zero home runs over 34 games and had made just one start in September. He's being sent out in order to clear space on the active roster for the return of Rhys Hoskins (thumb).

  • Pedro Ramirez 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Pedro Ramirez: Strong showing at Double-A

    Ramirez is hitting .278 with eight home runs, 28 steals and a 15.2 percent strikeout rate in 127 games for Double-A Knoxville.

    The switch-hitting infielder has split the year between second and third base for the Smokies, and while he hasn't hit for much power (.108 ISO, .386 SLG), Ramirez has still been 17 percent better than the average Southern League hitter while being the fifth-youngest qualified hitter in the league. He cut his groundball rate from 53.8 percent at High-A last year to 48.9 percent this year at Double-A, but that rate is still too high if Ramirez is to get the most out of his raw power. Ramirez may begin his big-league career as a reserve infielder, but his speed and contact skill make him worth tracking in dynasty leagues.
