  • Sandy Leon C | ATL

    Braves' Sandy Leon: Outrighted to Gwinnett

    Leon cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Leon appeared in just five games for Atlanta this season, hitting a home run for his only hit in 12 at-bats. Now off the 40-man roster, the veteran backstop will have the option to elect free agency and test his luck on the open market.

  • Dane Dunning SP | SEA

    Braves' Dane Dunning: Removed from 40-man

    Dunning cleared waivers Wednesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Dunning pitched 10 innings for Atlanta after joining the organization in July, during which he surrendered 12 earned runs while striking out 11 batters and walking two. The 30-year-old will have the option to elect free agency, though his recent performance may not attract more than a minor-league contract.

  • Alexis Diaz RP | TEX

    Braves' Alexis Diaz: Outrighted to Triple-A

    Diaz cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Diaz bounced between the Reds, Dodgers and Atlanta in 2025, finishing the regular season with an 8.15 ERA and 1.53 WHIP through 17.2 MLB innings. Despite his 75 career saves, he'll likely need to prove himself in the minors next season before getting another shot in the big leagues.

  • Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Penciled in for Game 3

    Taillon will start Game 3 of the NL Wild Card series against the Padres on Thursday, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.

    After turning in a 3.68 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across 129.2 frames in the regular season, Taillon will take the mound in Thursday's win-or-go-home contest. The 33-year-old has already faced the Padres once this year, allowing two earned runs over 5.1 innings during a 10-4 loss on April 14.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Beginning Game 2 on bench

    Edman isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Reds on Wednesday.

    After belting a solo homer during Los Angeles' 10-5 victory in Game 1, Edman will stay in the dugout to begin the second game of the series. His absence will allow Miguel Rojas to start at the keystone and bat eighth.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Sitting down for Game 2

    Marte isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

    Marte will step out of the starting nine after going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's Game 1 loss. Spencer Steer will move to the outfield as a result, opening up first base for Sal Stewart.

  • Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Out eight weeks after wrist surgery

    Eldridge will undergo surgery to remove a bone spur from his left wrist and is expected to need eight weeks to recover, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Eldridge got a late start to this season after suffering a wrist injury during spring training. It's unclear how much the wrist might have bothered him throughout the 2025 campaign, but he and the Giants have decided it's best to get it surgically corrected now. Eldridge's availability for spring training is not expected to be affected, and the 20-year-old will have a chance to make the Opening Day roster after getting a cup of coffee late this season.

  • Jason Adam RP | SD

    Padres' Jason Adam: Shifted to 60-day injured list

    The Padres transferred Adam (quadriceps) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Martin Maldonado. Adam underwent season-ending surgery in early September to repair a ruptured left quadriceps tendon and is expected to require 6-to-9 months to recover.

  • Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Crushes two homers against Reds

    Hernandez went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four total RBI in Tuesday's win over the Reds in Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series.

    Hernandez broke the game open for Los Angeles with a three-run homer off Hunter Greene in the third inning. Hernandez added another homer in the fifth before Shohei Ohtani hit his second long ball of the game in the sixth -- the two became the fifth pair of teammates to hit multiple home runs in a postseason game, per Sonja Chen of MLB.com. With 25 homers during the regular season, Hernandez has now reached that threshold in each of the last six full MLB campaigns.

  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Powers Dodgers with two homers

    Ohtani went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Reds in Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series.

    He opened the home half of the first inning with an absolute laser, turning a triple-digit fastball from Hunter Greene around at 117.7 mph off the bat. Ohtani later touched up reliever Connor Phillips for a long ball measured at 454 feet, the longest home run recorded by Statcast in Dodgers postseason history, per Sonja Chen of MLB.com. The two-way phenom could make a start on the mound in Game 3 against Cincinnati, if necessary, or in Game 1 of the NLDS against Philadelphia.
