MLB Player News

Baty was unavailable during Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers due to a thumb injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The 22-year-old suffered the injury over the weekend against the Rockies and was held out of the lineup Tuesday, and he apparently wasn't available as a pinch hitter. Baty should be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's matchup with Los Angeles.

Longoria (hamstring) will serve as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria sat out Monday's contest after suffering a mild hamstring injury during Sunday's matchup with Minnesota, but he'll rejoin the starting nine after missing only one game. The 36-year-old has a .918 OPS through 16 games in August, though he's 1-for-11 with a double, a run and six strikeouts over his past four appearances.

Paredes was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Marlins.

The 23-year-old was initially penciled in to start at first base Tuesday, but he was replaced by Christian Bethancourt when Tampa Bay released a revised starting nine. It's unclear if Paredes is dealing with an injury or if manager Kevin Cash simply decided on a late lineup change.

Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that Reynolds (hip) will begin a rehab assignment soon, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Bell didn't specify whether Reynolds will head to the minors later this week or at some point next week, but the veteran utility man at least looks to be progressing from the left hip injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list Aug. 23. Whenever he makes his way back from the IL, Reynolds is expected to fill a bench role for the Reds, with most of his opportunities to start likely coming against left-handed pitching.

Rivera is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Rivera has been on a nice run at the plate, but he will be held out Tuesday with the Diamondbacks facing a tough right-hander in Aaron Nola.

Newman is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Newman tallied two hits in Monday's game, but he will take a seat Tuesday in favor of Rodolfo Castro, who homered twice and racked up five hits over his last three games.

Peterson is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Peterson started at third base each of the last two days, and he will do the same Tuesday night. He has not officially supplanted Luis Urias as the Brewers' starting third baseman, but it looks like he will have a chance to do so.

McMahon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

With lefty Max Fried on the hill for Atlanta, Rockies manager Bud Black is electing to give the lefty-hitting McMahon a day off. McMahon will cede his spot in the starting nine to Elehuris Montero, who is covering third base after he was on the bench for three of the previous four contests.

Baty is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Baty has cobbled together a four-game hitting streak to bring his average (.184) closer to the Mendoza Line, but the lefty-hitting rookie could still find himself on the bench regularly against left-handers like the Dodgers' Andrew Heaney until he first proves he can master right-handed pitching. The switch-hitting Eduardo Escobar will spell Baty at third base.

The Mariners recalled Toro from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Toro has slashed .241/.353/.431 with three doubles and two home runs in 16 games at Triple-A since being sent down in early August. He rejoins the MLB club to replace Dylan Moore (oblique), who went on the injured list Tuesday.
