Brice Turang 2B | MIL
Brewers' Brice Turang: Taking seat Thursday
Turang isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
Turang doesn't typically move to the bench against left-handers despite carrying a .545 OPS against them this season, but the Brewers will get him a day off Thursday against southpaw Sean Manaea. David Hamilton will fill in at the keystone while Joey Ortiz mans the hot corner.

Jake Bauers 1B | MIL
Brewers' Jake Bauers: Remains out Thursday
Bauers (shin) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's tilt against the Mets.
It's the third straight absence for Bauers, who is dealing with shin splints. He's considered day-to-day and will aim to return to the lineup for the start of the Brewers' homestand Friday versus the Rangers. Andrew Vaughn is covering first base again for Milwaukee.

Bo Bichette 3B | NYM
Mets' Bo Bichette: Held out of Thursday's lineup
Bichette (foot) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Brewers.
Bichette was removed from Wednesday's game with a left foot contusion after fouling a ball off the area. He managed to avoid any fractures, and Mets interim manager Andy Green expects Bichette to be available off the bench Thursday, according to Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record. Brett Baty is filling in at third base for the Mets in the series finale.

Hunter Feduccia C | LAD
Dodgers' Hunter Feduccia: Held out of lineup
Feduccia is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against Atlanta.
He has been the Dodgers' primary catcher since Dalton Rushing (elbow) joined Will Smith (neck) on the injured list, but Feduccia will exit the lineup Thursday after starting the previous three games. Ben Rortvedt will be behind the plate.

Kyle Tucker RF | LAD
Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Exiting lineup against lefty
Tucker is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Atlanta.
Tucker is 1-for-9 at the plate in the first two games of the series and is sporting a lowly .575 OPS in August, so it's not surprising that he'll exit the lineup as Atlanta sends Chris Sale to the mound. Alex Call is in right field and will bat seventh for the Dodgers.

Mets' Xzavion Curry: Rejoins Mets' bullpen
The Mets recalled Curry from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.
Curry will provide bullpen protection after the Mets' relief corps was needed for five frames in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers. The right-hander has logged a 2.81 ERA and 10:7 K:BB over 16 innings during his time with the big club in 2026.

TJ Friedl CF | CIN
Reds' TJ Friedl: Sticking with Reds
Friedl cleared outright waivers Thursday and will remain with the Reds, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
The Reds placed Friedl on waivers earlier this week in an effort to save some money, but no team was willing to pay the remaining $700,000 on his contract to acquire a player that's slashed just .158/.242/.234 this season across 253 plate appearances. The 31-year-old will enter his second year of arbitration eligibility during the offseason, but Cincinnati's attempt to pass him along to another team suggests that the team won't offer him a contract this winter.

Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN
Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Stays with Reds after clearing waivers
Suarez has cleared outright waivers and will remain with the Reds, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Suarez has slashed only .208/.295/.410 with a 34.9 percent strikeout rate this season and doesn't have much defensive value, so it's not surprising that teams were unwilling to pay him around $3 million for the remainder of the season. The 35-year-old should continue to see everyday at-bats for Cincinnati down the stretch.
