Muncy was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a bone bruise in his left knee, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Muncy injured his knee while taking a throw at third base Wednesday night and underwent an MRI on Thursday, which determined he's dealing with a bone bruise. The severity of the injury has yet to be disclosed, but he'll be out for at least the next 10 days. Miguel Rojas is starting at third base in his place against the White Sox on Thursday.

Rojas (finger) is starting and third base and batting ninth Thursday against the White Sox.

Rojas appeared to injure his finger by jamming it on a stolen-base attempt Sunday in Kansas City and left the game early. After not appearing in the first two games of the series against the White Sox, he is in the lineup Thursday in place of Max Muncy (knee) at third.

Yelich isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Yelich went 1-for-7 with a home run and a pair of walks during Wednesday's doubleheader, though his 12-game hitting streak came to an end during the early game. He'll grab a seat on the bench Thursday while Eric Haase serves as Milwaukee's designated hitter and bats seventh.

Smith is not in the Dodgers' lineup against the White Sox on Thursday.

Smith will get some rest during Thursday's rubber match against the White Sox after going 3-for-5 with a home run and three walks in the first two games of the series. Dalton Rushing has the start behind the plate and is batting eighth.

Turang isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Turang slashed .421/.452/.579 with 10 RBI and 11 runs scored during his 14-game hitting streak, which came to an end when he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader. He'll get a chance to rest during Thursday's series finale in Queens while Andruw Monasterio starts at second base and bats ninth.

Pop signed a major-league contract with the Mets on Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Pop opted for free agency Wednesday after being DFA'd by the Mariners, and it didn't take long for him to find a new home. The 28-year-old righty will join the Mets' big-league bullpen after giving up eight earned runs in just 5.1 innings during his time in Seattle. His recent struggles will most likely limit him to low-leverage work while in New York.

The Dodgers claimed Alexander from the Yankees on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Alexander joins his third organization of 2025 after starting the season with the Athletics and being designated for assignment by the Yankees on Monday. He has appeared in 54 games at the Triple-A level in 2025, slashing .239/.339/.443, and has played in six games in the majors. The third baseman joins the Dodgers after Max Muncy went down with a knee injury in Wednesday night's game. With the Dodgers claiming Alexander, they designated Steward Berroa for assignment Thursday.

Kelly isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

Kelly has been on fire since late June, going 8-for-19 with four RBI and two runs scored across his last seven games. He'll step out of the starting nine Thursday, however, allowing Reese McGuire to start behind the dish and bat ninth.

Jimenez (knee) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

It was his first time throwing off a mound since he had left knee surgery last November. Jimenez maintains hope of being ready to pitch for Atlanta sometime in August, but the reliever still has many hoops to jump through before making that a reality.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 4-1 win over Minnesota.

Ramirez entered the game having gone 0-for-7 to begin the series, but he gave the Marlins a 3-0 lead in the first inning when he took David Festa deep to left-center field. Ramirez is up to 13 home runs on the season, which is second most on the Marlins behind Kyle Stowers' 15.
