Reds' Hector Rodriguez: Sitting out versus Snell
Rodriguez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers.
Rodriguez had made 19 straight starts, but the left-handed hitter will get a breather as the Dodgers send southpaw Blake Snell to the bump. The rookie outfielder is just 1-for-25 at the plate over his last seven contests. Juan Brito will cover right field for the Reds on Wednesday in what will be his first-ever start in the outfield in the majors.

Mets' Daniel Duarte: Shelved by hamstring strain
The Mets placed Duarte on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left hamstring strain.
The injury ends what has been a terrific season out of the Mets' bullpen, as Duarte holds a 2.12 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 30:7 K:BB over 29.2 innings. He is under team control for several more years and has set himself up well to be part of the Mets' bullpen in 2027.

Mets' Xzavion Curry: Summoned for spot start
The Mets recalled Curry from Triple-A Syracuse and will have him start Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
He'll enter the rotation as a replacement for the injured Robert Stock (fingers). All of the right-hander's eight outings for the Mets to this point have come in relief, but 13 of Curry's 15 appearances at Syracuse have been starts. He holds a 3.44 ERA and 12:8 K:BB over 18.1 frames with the big club.

Mets' Robert Stock: Lands on 15-day IL
The Mets placed Stock on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with numbness in his fingers.
Stock had been slated to start Wednesday's game versus the Orioles, but instead his season is over. The 36-year-old will finish the season with a 5.93 ERA and 29:15 K:BB over 30.1 innings covering seven starts and one relief appearance for the Mets. Xzavion Curry will start Wednesday in Stock's place.

Yankees' Spencer Jones: Blossoming in September
Jones went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run against the Twins in an 8-1 victory Tuesday.
Jones broke the game open in the sixth inning with a three-run blast to center field that gave the Yankees a 7-1 lead. The 25-year-old had a quiet start to his MLB career, posting a .739 OPS across 65 games through the end of August. However, Jones has come alive in September, slashing .340/.415/.532 with two homers, 12 RBI, seven runs and one stolen base through his first 13 contests this month. He's still striking out too much -- Jones has a 34.0 percent strikeout rate in September and a 35.0 percent punchout rate overall this season -- but he's become New York's everyday center fielder, starting each of the Yankees' past 14 games at that position.

Trent Grisham CF | NYY
Yankees' Trent Grisham: Going through running progression
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Grisham (hamstring) is "up to a pretty decent speed" in his running progression and is also doing other baseball activities, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
When Grisham was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain in early September, Boone conceded that the outfielder could miss the remainder of the regular season. A return remains up in the air, but Grisham has given himself a chance with how he's progressed in his rehab. Spencer Jones is slashing .361/.425/.528 in 10 games since taking over for Grisham in center field, and Jones could keep the starting job even if Grisham does make it back.
