  • 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.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Resting Wednesday

    Moncada is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Moncada will get a breather for Wednesday's matinee after he had been included in the starting nine in each of the Angels' previous five contests. Oswald Peraza will move across the diamond and will fill in for Moncada at the hot corner.

  • 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 | MIL

    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.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Swats 12th homer

    Moncada went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, three runs scored and a walk in a 12-2 win over the Twins on Tuesday.

    The homer was Moncada's first of the month of September and his 12th of the season. The veteran third baseman is working toward ending the campaign on quite the high note. Across his last 81 plate appearances (23 games), Moncada is slashing .300/.395/.571 with 10 extra-base hits, 10 RBI and 13 runs scored to push his OPS up to .815 for the year.

  • 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.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Battling back stiffness

    McKinstry was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Yankees due to upper-back stiffness.

    McKinstry lost what had been a six-game hitting streak during Sunday's contest, and his back will now force him to the bench for Tuesday's series opener. While he recovers, Trey Sweeney will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

  • 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).

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Could play rehab games this weekend

    Westburg (ankle) could begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Previous updates on Westburg's recovery from a right ankle sprain suggested that he was likely to have begun playing in rehab games by now. While that hasn't happened, it appears to be around the corner. The infielder could be back on the Orioles' active roster sometime next week. He's been sidelined since late August.
