Jordan is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Toronto.

The Cardinals are going with Jose Fermin at third base in Friday's series opener. Jordan will get a breather after going 2-for-12 at the dish in the series versus the Cubs earlier this week.

The Mets acquired Amick and Bruin Agbayani from the Twins on Thursday in exchange for A.J. Minter, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Amick has spent the entire 2026 season at Double-A and is slashing .217/.338/.482 with 23 homers, 72 RBI, 60 runs scored, two stolen bases and a 50:108 BB:K across 379 plate appearances. The 23-year-old corner infield prospect was a second-round pick out of Tennessee two years back and has some power upside.

Mead has a nondisplaced left wrist fracture and will be reimaged in four weeks, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Mead was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday after suffering the injury when he was hit by a pitch Monday night against the Athletics. The 25-year-old is anticipated to be sidelined for roughly 6-to-8 weeks, with Thursday's news giving him a chance to hit the front end of that timeline.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Thursday's 4-2, 10-inning win over the Cardinals.

Bregman had a nice series against St. Louis, going 10-for-18 with a home run, three RBI and seven runs scored across the four games. Overall, the veteran third baseman is now slashing .248/.341/.381 through106 contests and seems to be trending upward after a slow start to his tenure with the Cubs. Bregman has also been incredibly durable, as he's now played in all but three of Chicago's games this season.

Sanoja isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Sanoja will take a seat Thursday after going 1-for-7 with two walks, a run scored and a steal during Miami's last series against Philadelphia. Graham Pauley will start at third base and bat eighth while Sanoja sits for the series opener in Queens.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Thursday that Jung's recovery from a left calf strain has "not trended in the right direction," Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The Rangers were hopeful that Jung would be ready for activation from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Saturday, but that's not going to happen. Schumaker noted that Jung's progress, or lack thereof, is "kind of at a standstill right now." With Corey Seager (back) slated to return from the IL on Friday, Ezequiel Duran will shift over from shortstop to handle third base until Jung is ready.

Riley is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Nationals.

Riley had started to heat up around the All-Star break, but he's just 6-for-37 with a 2:20 BB:K over his last 10 games. Mauricio Dubon will handle third-base duties while Riley gets a day to clear his head.

Urias' (elbows) rehab assignment has been paused after he was hit on the elbow by a pitch at Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Urias still has inflammation in his elbow as a result of the hit-by-pitch, and he also required stitches for his right ankle when the ball struck the area after deflecting off his elbow. The veteran infielder has been out since early May with tennis elbow in both arms.

Durbin went 3-for-4 with a walk and one run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Athletics.

Durbin has gone 7-for-15 over his last four games after scuffling a bit coming out of the All-Star break. The third baseman is now batting .244 with a .707 OPS, 10 home runs, 44 RBI, 46 runs scored, 12 stolen bases, 19 doubles and one triple over 100 games, as he's mostly overcome his horrid start to the campaign. Durbin is set to stay as the starter at third base as injuries pile up in the middle infield for the Red Sox.

Arias started at second base and went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored during Wednesdays 6-1 win over the Reds.

Arias has seen his playing time dwindle since Jose Ramirez (hand) came off the injured list, but he got the start at second base Wednesday with Travis Bazzana moving to designated hitter. Arias now has a hit in six of his last seven games. The 26-year-old is having the best hitting season of his career with a .261/.302/.412 slash line and five home runs, but he could have trouble finding regular starts since Ramirez, Bazzana, and Brayan Rocchio are locked into starting roles.
