  • Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Back in lineup for Game 3

    Chourio (hamstring) will start in left field and bat second Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Cubs.

    Chourio had to be removed from each of the first two games of the series with right hamstring tightness, but he's been cleared to play Wednesday as the Brewers look to close out the series. The 21-year-old will likely be under strict orders to take it easy on the basepaths. Chourio is 5-for-7 with one home run and six RBI so far in the series.

  • Cade Horton P | CHC

    Cubs' Cade Horton: Slated for another bullpen session

    Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that Horton's (rib) light bullpen session Monday went well and the hurler is scheduled for another bullpen session Friday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    The Cubs are in a 0-2 NLDS hole against the Brewers, but if they're able to come back and advance to the NLCS, Horton has a shot to rejoin the active roster as part of their rotation. Horton has been sidelined since late September after being diagnosed with a right rib fracture.

  • Drey Jameson RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Drey Jameson: Returns to action in AFL

    Jameson (elbow) tossed a scoreless inning of relief Tuesday during an appearance in the Arizona Fall League.

    After missing the entire 2024 campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Jameson was back to full health for the start of spring training, but he made just three appearances for Arizona and 16 in the minors before being shut down in late June when he developed a bone fragment chip in his surgically repaired elbow. Though Jameson didn't return to action before the end of the minor-league season, he avoided another procedure on his elbow and looks like he'll be in line for a normal offseason following a stellar relief appearance Tuesday. Jameson needed only eight pitches to retire the side, generating three groundballs while sporting a fastball that topped out at 99.4 miles per hour. Jameson, who maintains a spot on Arizona's 40-man roster, is expected to compete for a bullpen role with the big club this spring.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Will stay in bullpen next season

    The Rockies plan to keep Senzatela in a relief role next season, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Senzatela was moved from the rotation to the bullpen in late August after posting a 7.15 ERA and 61:42 K:BB over 112 innings. He was better in a long-relief role with a 3.50 ERA and 12:5 K:BB across 18 frames. The Rockies aren't chock full of rotation options, but they appear content to leave Senzatela in a low-leverage role in the final season of his five-year, $50.5 million contract.

  • Harrison Bader CF | PHI

    Phillies' Harrison Bader: Game 3 status uncertain

    Manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday that Bader (groin) will be a game-time decision to start Game 3 of the NLDS on Wednesday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    After exiting Game 1 early due to a groin injury, Bader came off the bench to deliver a pinch-hit single in the ninth inning of Game 2. If the Phillies decide to keep him out of the starting lineup Wednesday, the 31-year-old would presumably still be available to serve as a pinch hitter again.

  • Cade Horton P | CHC

    Cubs' Cade Horton: Throwing bullpen session Tuesday

    Horton (rib) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Horton is slated to throw 30 pitches at mid-level intensity. The rookie right-hander could still get added to the Cubs' NLCS roster, should they rally to advance past the Brewers. Horton hasn't pitched since Sept. 23 due to a right rib fracture.

  • Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Was removed due to tight hamstring

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Chourio was removed from Monday's Game 2 of the NLDS versus the Cubs in the ninth inning after his right hamstring tightened up, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    It's the same hamstring that Chourio tweaked in Game 1, forcing his removal from that contest. Murphy noted that Chourio will go through a very light workout Tuesday at Wrigley Field prior to Wednesday's Game 3, and the outfielder is considered day-to-day. Chourio is 5-for-7 with one home run and six RBI in the first two games of the series. If Chourio forced to miss Game 3, Isaac Collins would likely replace him in the outfield.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Day-to-day with tight hamstring

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Rojas is day-to-day after exiting Monday's NLDS Game 2 win over the Phillies with hamstring tightness, Cody Snavely of DodgersBeat.com reports.

    Roberts noted that Rojas' hamstring has been bothering him "for the past few weeks," and he aggravated the injury in the bottom of the sixth inning when he dove into third base to get an inning-ending forceout. Rojas is not expected to be in the lineup for Game 3 on Wednesday even if he were 100 percent, but it's unclear at this point whether he will be available off the bench.

  • Aidan Miller SS | PHI

    Phillies' Aidan Miller: Pulls out of Arizona Fall League

    Phillies farm director Luke Murton said that Miller will no longer participate in the Arizona Fall League due to "some nagging things physically," Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    There doesn't seem to be any concern that whatever physical issues Miller is dealing with will linger, but the Phillies have decided it's best to give their top prospect some rest. Miller slashed .264/.392/.433 with 14 home runs and 59 stolen bases between Double-A Reading and Triple-A Lehigh Valley in 2025 and could be ready to make his major-league debut with Philadelphia next season.

  • Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Tapped for Game 3 start

    Taillon will start Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Brewers on Wednesday, Marquee Sports Network report.

    Taillon put together a strong outing against the Padres during the wild-card round, hurling four scoreless frames while surrendering two hits and striking out four. He'll be tasked with shutting down an offense that has racked up 24 hits in the first two games of the series in a must-win game for the Cubs at Wrigley Field. It's worth noting that Taillon could be on a short leash Wednesday given it's a win or go home situation for Chicago.
