Ortiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Ortiz had started at third base in each of the past three games while going 2-for-7 with a walk and a run scored, but he'll give way to Oliver Dunn for the series finale. The rookie has reached base at a .425 clip so far this season and should continue to remain ahead of Dunn on the depth chart with Dunn's production at the plate having slowed after a hot start to the season.

Baty (hamstring) said Wednesday that he's optimistic that he'll avoid the 10-day injured list, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Baty experienced left hamstring tightness during Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Pirates and is out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale. However, he's feeling much better a day later and won't be sent in for imaging, leaving him confident that he'll be ready to play in a few days. The Mets have an off day Thursday, providing the young third baseman an extra day of rest before he perhaps returns to action this weekend against the Dodgers.

Hayes (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Hayes was a late scratch ahead of Tuesday's 3-1 loss due to lower-back tightness, so it's not a surprise he's not ready to play in the series finale Wednesday. He missed about a month of action last season with the same injury and still has to manage back issues on occasion. At this point, he's considered day-to-day. Jared Triolo will start at third base Wednesday in place of Hayes.

Baty (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Baty will hit the bench after exiting Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Pirates with left hamstring tightness, but he might have been a candidate to sit even if fully healthy with Pittsburgh bringing a left-hander (Bailey Falter) to the hill. The Mets seem to be viewing Baty as day-to-day and are hopeful that a day off Wednesday plus Thursday's team off day might provide sufficient time for him to move past the hamstring issue. Zack Short gets the nod at third base Wednesday in Baty's stead.

Rivera is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rivera has been getting regular reps at third base since Jake Burger (intercostal) landed on the injured list, but he'll begin the series finale on the bench. Otto Lopez will occupy the hot corner for Miami.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run a double in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins.

Chapman has two homers over the last four games and four on the year. The third baseman's blast Tuesday opened the scoring in the second inning. His power is a welcome sight after he hit just 17 homers in 2023, but he's batting just .205 with 11 RBI, 12 runs scored, a stolen base and three doubles through 18 contests so far in 2024.

Baty was removed from Tuesday's game against the Pirates due to left hamstring tightness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Baty was replaced at third base by Joey Wendle ahead of the seventh inning, though it's unclear what exactly caused his injury. The 24-year-old infielder said after the game his injury isn't considered to be serious, so it seems he will avoid a trip to the IL.

Muncy isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Muncy will take a seat Tuesday as southpaw Patrick Corbin prepares to start for Washington. Miguel Rojas will take over at third base while batting eighth.

Candelario was scratched from the Reds' lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus Seattle due to an illness.

Candelario was reportedly feeling under the weather Tuesday, so he will sit out while he recovers. Santiago Espinal will enter the lineup as Cincinnati's replacement third baseman and bat eighth.

Hayes was scratched from Tuesday's lineup versus the Mets.

Hayes was initially slotted to start at third and hit third Tuesday. Oneil Cruz will enter the lineup at shortstop and bat seventh with Jared Triolo shifting to Hayes' position and spot in the order. The reason for the 27-year-old's removal from the Pirates' lineup is not yet clear.
