Brazoban is slated to undergo an MRI on his oblique area Wednesday and could land on the 15-day injured list, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Brazoban apparently suffered the injury during his relief appearance in Tuesday's win over the Phillies. The Mets have already recalled Kevin Herget from Triple-A Syracuse to provide the team with a fresh arm in the bullpen for Wednesday's series finale and did not announce a corresponding move. Brazoban appears likely to lose his spot on the active roster prior to the game, whether it's due to a stint on the injured list or a demotion.

Andujar is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers.

Andujar has now been absent from the lineup for each of the last four and five of the last six contests in which the Reds have faced a right-handed pitcher. He has retained his role as the cleanup hitter against lefties during that span, but the 30-year-old looks to be settling back into the short side of a platoon.

The Brewers transferred Henderson (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

After being shelved Aug. 8 due to a right flexor tendon strain, Henderson had been cleared to initiate plyometric work earlier this week with the hope of beginning a throwing program in the near future and returning at the tail end of the regular season. However, his move to the 60-day IL suggests that Henderson didn't respond as well to the initial workouts as well as the Brewers had hoped, and he'll now be shut down for the remainder of the season. Before sustaining the injury, Henderson was magnificent over his five starts with Milwaukee, going 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB in 25.1 innings. Assuming his flexor strain is of a low or moderate grade and doesn't require a procedure, Henderson should be back to full health for spring training and will get the chance to compete for a full-time rotation spot with Milwaukee in 2026.

The Brewers placed Megill on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right elbow flexor strain.

Though Milwaukee hadn't indicated that Megill was nursing an injury, he hadn't been especially sharp in his recent outings. Over his last four appearances spanning four innings, Megill backdoored his way into two wins but blew three of four save chances while allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks across four innings. Abner Uribe has turned in a spotless ERA since the All-Star break and is likely the next man up for saves in the absence of Megill, whose timeline for a return won't become clear until the Brewers shed more light on the severity of his injury. Even if Megill's elbow strain is deemed mild, however, the righty could still be at risk of being shelved beyond the minimum 15 days.

Montgomery is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Royals.

Montgomery extended his streak of games with a home run to four during Tuesday's 5-4 loss, but the left-handed hitter is out of the lineup a day later, even with the Royals sending righty Ryan Bergert to the bump. The rookie infielder missed a game last week due to side soreness, so it's possible he could be less than 100 percent. Chase Meidroth will play shortstop and Lenyn Sosa will be at second base for the White Sox in the series finale.

France is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

France went 4-for-23 at the plate while starting in each of the Blue Jays' last seven games, but he'll head back to the bench Wednesday and is likely to see his playing time get scaled back moving forward. Five of those starts came while Vladimir Guerrero was out of the lineup due to a hamstring injury, but he served as the Blue Jays' designated hitter in the previous two contests and will return to his usual home at first base Wednesday.

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Wednesday that Wells (elbow) will be activated from the 60-day injured list next week and will be part of a six-man rotation for the remainder of the season, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Wells is slated to make his final rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, and as long as he gets through that outing without any setbacks, he'll likely start Sept. 2 in San Diego. Once activated, Wells will be making his first appearance at the big-league level since he had a UCL revision and internal brace augmentation surgery in June 2024. Wells has pitched well thus far on his rehab assignment, posting a 2.37 ERA and 19:5 K:BB over 19 innings.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

He'll hit the bench for the second time in the series while the Red Sox give Connor Wong a look behind the plate. Narvaez has had a stranglehold on the No. 1 catching job for most of the season, but his job security might have slipped a bit while his production has fallen off during the second half. Since the All-Star break, Narvaez is slashing just .158/.210/.316 with a 26.8 percent strikeout rate over 21 games.

Clement is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Twins.

Clement has reached base four times in the first two games of the series, but before that, he had been stuck in a 3-for-37 slump at the plate. He'll begin Wednesday's series finale on the bench while Addison Barger mans third base.

Kirk is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Twins.

Kirk will get a routine night off after he started at catcher in the first two games of the series. Tyler Heineman will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Blue Jays.
