Mullins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

The left-handed-hitting Mullins will stay on the bench for the second game in a row while the Mets go up against another Phillies southpaw (Cristopher Sanchez). Jose Siri will cover center field in Mullins' stead.

Ramirez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

It seems like a good time for a breather for Ramirez, who is just 4-for-31 with zero extra-base hits so far this month. Liam Hicks will do the catching and Heriberto Hernandez will be the designated hitter for the Marlins.

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.

McNeil is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.

McNeil had started each of the previous 10 contests for the Mets but will begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Luisangel Acuna will man second base and bat ninth.

Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The left-handed-hitting Smith started in each of the Giants' last five games while the team went up against right-handed starting pitchers, but he'll bow out of the lineup for the series finale with southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez on the bump for Arizona. Smith's absence from the starting nine clears the way for Wilmer Flores to fill in at first base.

Bogaerts (foot) has resumed light baseball activities this week, MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts is just under two weeks removed from suffering a non-displaced fracture in his left foot, so he will be eased along slowly. The Padres are hopeful of getting their shortstop back in late September or early October, so Bogaerts will probably play only in the last few regular-season games in a best-case scenario. Jose Iglesias has been filling in at shortstop for San Diego.

Gilbert is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Though the left-handed-hitting Gilbert will retreat to the bench as the Diamondbacks send lefty Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill, the rookie appears to have overtaken Luis Matos as San Francisco's preferred option in right field. While the Giants faced right-handers in each of the previous six contests, Matos started just twice while Gilbert was included in the lineup on all six occasions. Over his last 10 games, Gilbert has slashed .353/.395/.706 with seven extra-base knocks, three walks, 10 RBI and nine runs.

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.

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.

Miller is hopeful of avoiding a full UCL repair of his right elbow following a visit with Dr. Keith Meister in Texas, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Miller needs surgery, but a procedure that's less invasive than Tommy John surgery would give him a chance to return late in the 2026 season. The reliever collected a 2.74 ERA and 54:15 K:BB over 46 innings between the Diamondbacks and Brewers this season and will be a free agent this winter.
