Kyle Stowers 1B | MIA
Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Preparing for rehab assignment
Stowers (oblique) is set to resume baseball activities Wednesday and is expected to report to Triple-A Jacksonville for a rehab assignment over the weekend, MLB.com reports.
Stowers has been on the 10-day injured list since Aug. 17 due to a Grade 1 left oblique strain, but the outfielder doesn't look as though he'll require an extended ramp-up period before rejoining the Marlins. Before getting hurt, the first-time All-Star had been enjoying a breakout season for Miami, slashing .288/.368/.544 with 25 home runs, five stolen bases, 73 RBI and 61 runs in 117 games.

Alec Burleson 1B | STL
Cardinals' Alec Burleson: Hopes to take batting practice soon
Burleson hopes to take batting practice in the coming days after an anti-inflammatory injection alleviated discomfort in his injured right wrist, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
If Burleson is able to take batting practice soon, he could avoid a rehab assignment and be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Sept. 8. Burleson is second only to Ivan Herrera on the Cardinals with a wRC+ of 120 this season.

Mitch Voit 2B | NYM
Mets' Mitch Voit: Running wild at Single-A
Voit went 3-for-3 with two walks, a home run, three RBI, four runs scored and four stolen bases for Single-A St. Lucie on Tuesday.
The 38th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft is getting his first taste of pro ball, and he's already making a big impact with his legs. Tuesday's homer was his first with St. Lucie, but he's gone 15-for-15 in steal attempts. The Michigan product is batting just .219 so far, but he already seems to be making adjustments -- after going 7-for-42 (.167) through his first 11 games, he's banged out nine hits in 31 at-bats (.290 batting average) across his last eight contests, including all three of his extra-base hits.

Sean Manaea SP | NYM
Mets' Sean Manaea: Next start coming Monday
Manaea is slated to make his next start Monday in Philadelphia, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Though the Mets are considering assigning the struggling Kodai Senga to the minors rather than having him take his normal turn through the rotation this Sunday in Cincinnati, Manaea won't be in the mix to fill in for Senga in the series finale versus the Reds. Manaea most recently took the hill for Monday's 10-8 win over the Tigers, lasting just 3.2 innings while allowing five earned runs on eight hits and one walk. After returning from the 60-day injured list in mid-July, Manaea looked strong through his first four starts of the season with the Mets, but the southpaw's performance has taken a dramatic turn for the worse ever since. Over his subsequent six starts, Manaea has submitted a 7.81 ERA and 1.48 WHIP across 27.2 innings. Manaea will get another chance to right the ship Monday, but a poor showing versus the Phillies could prompt manager Carlos Mendoza to consider moving him to the bullpen.

Jacob Young CF | WAS
Nationals' Jacob Young: Not in Wednesday's lineup
Young (back) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Marlins.
Young was pulled from Tuesday's game due to back spasms. It's possible he wouldn't have started Wednesday even if he was totally healthy, but with an off day looming Thursday, Young will get some extra rest before trying to return to action this weekend. Robert Hassell is covering center field and batting seventh.

C.J. Abrams SS | WAS
Nationals' CJ Abrams: Rare day off Wednesday
Abrams is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Marlins.
Abrams will get a rare day off while he's in the midst of a 1-for-13 skid at the palte over his last four starts. Nasim Nunez will fill in at shortstop, and outfielder Daylen Lile has been elevated to the No. 2 spot in the lineup as the Nationals try to complete the sweep.

Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL
Braves' Ha-Seong Kim: Two hits in Atlanta debut
Kim went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs.
It was a nice beginning to his Atlanta tenure, as Kim got the start at shortstop and hit sixth in the order after being claimed off waivers from the Rays and activated from the IL earlier in the day. The 29-year-old infielder should be the team's starting SS for the rest of September as he tries to wrap up a tough, injury-plagued 2025 with a strong final month.
