Senga (calf) hopes to make a one-inning rehab appearance with Triple-A Syracuse before their season ends Sunday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

If he's able to make the appearance and come out of it without any physical concerns, Senga could rejoin the Mets as a reliever as soon as Sept. 26, when he's first eligible for activation from the 60-day injured list. The right-hander has been shelved since late July with a high-grade left calf strain.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that it's "very unlikely" Stone (shoulder) will return from the 15-day injured list this season, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Stone had been scheduled to begin a throwing program this past weekend, but that didn't happen, as he's yet to pick up a ball due to continued soreness in his right shoulder. The right-hander has missed all of September with shoulder inflammation. Stone's continued absence is yet another blow to a Dodgers rotation that's been decimated by injuries.

The Dodgers optioned Grove to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Grove allowed three runs over a 1.2-inning relief outing Tuesday in Miami. He's expected to be replaced by a fresh bullpen arm, although the Dodgers have not yet announced the corresponding move.

The Dodgers activated Kelly (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Kelly has been out since late August with right shoulder inflammation but is ready to go after making a couple rehab appearances. He's likely to be used in low-leverage situations.

The Dodgers optioned Miller to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The move comes one day after another poor start in which Miller surrendered four runs on seven hits and one walk across two innings against the Marlins. He's managed an ugly 8.52 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in a horribly disappointing 2024 campaign. The Dodgers have not yet announced a replacement for Miller's spot in the rotation.

Conforto will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Conforto will start for the Giants' third straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher. He appears to have moved back into a strong-side platoon role after he previously looked to be getting phased out in favor of Jerar Encarnacion.

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

Wisely will retreat to the bench after he went just 1-for-17 with eight strikeouts and one walk while starting in each of the past six games. Donovan Walton will spell Wisely at second base.

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

Encarnacion appeared to have settled into an everyday role after making five consecutive starts, but he'll find himself on the bench Wednesday for the second day in a row. Both of Encarnacion's absences have come against right-handed pitchers, so he may have moved back into the short side of a platoon in the corner outfield or designated hitter with the lefty-hitting Michael Conforto.

Winker is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Southpaw DJ Herz is on the hill for the Nationals, so the left-handed-hitting Winker will grab a seat. Brandon Nimmo is playing left field for the Mets while Harrison Bader patrols center.

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

Bailey will get some rest after he caught all nine innings of Tuesday's 10-0 win. Curt Casali checks in behind the dish for Bailey on Wednesday.
