Hays (back) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Pirates.

Hays will miss a third straight start as he deals with back spasms. He went through a pregame workout Tuesday to test out his back and that didn't go well, so it's unclear when he might be ready to play again. Will Benson will grab another start in left field for the Reds.

Collins is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego.

Collins is slashing only .167/.314/.286 in September, and as a result, he's seeing uneven playing time. He's absent from the lineup Wednesday for the second straight game, and he has started only 12 of 21 contests this month. Jake Bauers is in left field and Jackson Chourio will handle center field for the Brewers in the series finale.

Ortiz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Diego.

Ortiz started the previous six games and had at least one hit in each of those contests, but he'll get some rest in Wednesday's series finale. Andruw Monasterio will replace him at shortstop and bat eighth.

Contreras is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego.

After starting at catcher in each of the first two games of the series, Contreras will get a breather during Wednesday's matinee. Danny Jansen will be behind the dish and bat ninth as the Brewers try to avoid being swept.

Quintero slashed .259/.384/.440 with five home runs, 12 steals, a 15.8 percent walk rate and a 24 percent strikeout rate in 32 games for High-A Great Lakes.

The righty-hitting center fielder laid waste to the Cal League, logging a 160 wRC+ with 14 homers and 35 steals in 81 games before getting promoted to the Midwest League on July 25. He hasn't been quite as dominant at High-A (135 wRC+), but he's still aced the assignment, as he's one of the youngest players at High-A and had no trouble getting to his power in games while maintaining a strong approach at the plate. Quintero is a great athlete who spent the majority of the year patrolling center field. The only other minor-league players to hit 17-plus homers with 45-plus steals this year are Cardinals outfielder Joshua Baez and No. 1 overall prospect Konnor Griffin.

Tatis (illness) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Tatis will miss a third straight start as he battles an illness. The Padres have a team off day Thursday, so Tatis could be back in action Friday versus the Diamondbacks. Ramon Laureano will again slide over to right field for the Padres, while Gavin Sheets gets the start in left field.

The Brewers recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Rodriguez has been knocked around in three relief outings with the Brewers this season, allowing seven runs with a 6:7 K:BB over 7.2 frames. With Chad Patrick slated for a relatively abbreviated start Wednesday in San Diego, Rodriguez will provide some necessary length out of the bullpen.

The Brewers designated Zimmermann for assignment Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Zimmermann made a spot start Tuesday in San Diego, yielding six runs (five earned) over six innings of work. He'll be replaced on the active roster by Carlos Rodriguez, who will give the Brewers' bullpen some length.

Morton will not make a start for Atlanta this week, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Morton reunited with Atlanta by signing a major-league deal Monday following his release from the Tigers. He is expected to pitch at some point this week as a send-off before retirement, but the appearance will come out of the bullpen. The 41-year-old Morton has posted a 5.89 ERA and 148:71 K:BB over 140.2 innings between the Orioles and Tigers in 2025.

Adams is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Adams started at catcher in the first two games of the series, so he'll get a break during Wednesday's matinee. Jorge Alfaro will be behind the dish and bat seventh as the Nationals try to avoid the sweep.
