The Cubs placed Caissie (concussion) on the 7-day injured list Sunday.

Just one day after being recalled from Triple-A Iowa, Caissie will be deactivated after he sustained a concussion when he collided with the outfield wall on a catch in the third inning of Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Rays. Chicago recalled Kevin Alcantara from Iowa to provide the team with another option in the outfield while Seiya Suzuki (illness) is day-to-day and Kyle Tucker (calf) is on the 10-day IL.

Quero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Quero has a .278/.316/.389 slash line through nine games in September and will take a seat Sunday for the second time in Chicago's past three games. Andrew Benintendi will bat sixth as the designated hitter in the series finale at Cleveland.

Baldwin (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Baldwin departed Friday's contest due to hip soreness and will sit Sunday for a second consecutive game. Dominic Fletcher is starting in center field in the series finale for the White Sox.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider announced that Yesavage will be called up from Triple-A Buffalo to start Monday's game at Tampa Bay.

Since Yesavage had worked in relief in two of his last three appearances with Buffalo, the early expectation was that he would begin his time in the big leagues in the bullpen, but Schneider noted that deploying the 22-year-old as a starter would make his MLB debut as "normal as possible," per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca. Depending on how Yesavage fares Monday, he could continue starting or shift to a multi-inning relief role, with Schneider noting that the youngster won't face any sort of innings cap over the final two weeks of regular season, according to Davidi. Yesavage -- who has emerged as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball this season -- earned his call-up to the majors after he submitted a 3.12 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 160:41 K:BB in 98 innings across his four minor-league stops in 2025.

The Rangers reinstated Garcia (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting in right field and batting cleanup Sunday versus the Mets.

The outfielder landed on the shelf in early September due to a quadriceps strain, but he'll end up spending little more than the 10-day minimum on the injured list. Garcia will look to pick up where he left off, as he had an .867 OPS with eight doubles and three homers in the 18 games preceding his absence.

Altuve (foot) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, and manager joe Espada said that the 35-year-old is still feeling "pretty sore" as he continues to be evaluated by team doctors, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The 35-year-old exited Saturday's 6-2 win due to right foot discomfort and continues to manage the injury Sunday. Altuve will miss at least one start, and it remains to be seen if he'll be available off the bench for the series finale. Yordan Alvarez will serve as Houston's designated hitter Sunday, and Zach Cole will pick up a start in left field.

House is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

House will take a seat Sunday after a run of five straight starts, during which he went 4-for-17 with a double and a solo homer. Paul DeJong is manning the hot corner and batting seventh in the series finale for the Nationals.

Crews is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Pirates, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Crews started the previous eight games and will receive a day off after posting a .749 OPS with two homers during that stretch. Robert Hassell will shift to right field Sunday, allowing Jacob Young to pick up a start in center.

Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Bell will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-7 with two RBI and two strikeouts in the first two games of the series. Andres Chaparro is manning first base in the series finale for Washington.

Wrobleski notched a hold against the Giants on Saturday, striking out four batters over 2.1 perfect relief innings.

Both teams turned on the offense early in the contest, and when Wrobleski entered in the bottom of the fifth frame, Los Angeles was clinging onto a two-run lead with the tying run coming to the plate. The southpaw struck out Heliot Ramos to end that threat, then cruised through two more perfect frames while the Dodgers tacked three runs onto their lead. Wrobleski went through a rough stretch in mid-August during which he took two losses and gave up five runs over three outings spanning 5.1 innings. He's turned things around dramatically since then -- over his past four appearances, Wrobleski has pitched 7.1 scoreless frames while posting a sizzling 13:1 K:BB.
