Bichette (foot) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Brewers.

Bichette was removed from Wednesday's game with a left foot contusion after fouling a ball off the area. He managed to avoid any fractures, and Mets interim manager Andy Green expects Bichette to be available off the bench Thursday, according to Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record. Brett Baty is filling in at third base for the Mets in the series finale.

The Royals selected Gose's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

Gose has spent the entire season at Triple-A, where he owns a 4.94 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 59:31 K:BB across 47.1 innings. Although his performance has been unremarkable, the 36-year-old will now return to the big leagues for the first time since 2024 to give Kansas City's bullpen a fresh arm, replacing Mason Black.

The Royals recalled Rojas from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

Rojas has posted just a .556 OPS across 80 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he'll get the call to rejoin the big club to make up for the loss of Michael Massey (concussion). Rojas will likely serve primarily as bench depth while Tyler Tolbert receives the majority of starts at second base going forward.

Bateman is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.

Bateman started the last five contests and reached base 10 times over that span, but he will begin Thursday's festivities on the bench. Daz Cameron, Myles Straw and Nathan Lukes will patrol the outfield in Thursday's rubber match.

The Royals placed Massey on the 7-day concussion injured list Thursday.

Massey sat out Wednesday's game after he fell and hit his head while making a throw to first base during Tuesday's contest, and he'll officially remain out of action for at least a week after being diagnosed with a concussion. Tyler Tolbert figures to take over as Kansas City's primary second baseman while Massey is sidelined, and Josh Rojas will come up from Triple-A to replenish the team's infield depth.

Gimenez is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Royals.

The left-handed-hitting Gimenez will get a breather as the Royals send southpaw Noah Cameron to the hill. Ernie Clement will slide over to shortstop, and Charles McAdoo will grab a start at second base.

Feduccia is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against Atlanta.

He has been the Dodgers' primary catcher since Dalton Rushing (elbow) joined Will Smith (neck) on the injured list, but Feduccia will exit the lineup Thursday after starting the previous three games. Ben Rortvedt will be behind the plate.

Tucker is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Atlanta.

Tucker is 1-for-9 at the plate in the first two games of the series and is sporting a lowly .575 OPS in August, so it's not surprising that he'll exit the lineup as Atlanta sends Chris Sale to the mound. Alex Call is in right field and will bat seventh for the Dodgers.

Muncy is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Atlanta.

It's lefty ace Chris Sale on the bump for Atlanta, presenting an opportunity to give the left-handed-hitting Muncy a day of rest. The Dodgers will cover third base with Enrique Hernandez as they try to avoid the series sweep.

The Mets recalled Curry from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Curry will provide bullpen protection after the Mets' relief corps was needed for five frames in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers. The right-hander has logged a 2.81 ERA and 10:7 K:BB over 16 innings during his time with the big club in 2026.
