Judge was removed from Wednesday's game against the Twins in the top of the sixth inning, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Heliot Ramos pinch hit for Judge with a runner on base and the Yankees down 2-0. It's an odd spot to lift one of the best hitters in baseball, though Kuty suggests manager Aaron Boone may have simply wanted to give Judge a half day heading into Thursday's team off day. Judge just returned last week following a three-plus-month absence due to a stress fracture in his ribs.

De Paula is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cincinnati.

De Paula made five straight starts upon his promotion to the big leagues Friday, but the left-handed hitter will get a breather as the Reds hand the ball to southpaw Andrew Abbott. Alex Call is grabbing a start in De Paula's place, manning left field while Teoscar Hernandez starts at designated hitter.

Muncy is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cincinnati.

The left-handed-swinging Muncy will grab a seat as the Reds send southpaw Andrew Abbott to the bump. Enrique Hernandez will man the hot corner for the Dodgers in Muncy's stead.

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

Hayes has now started only one of the last four contests for the Reds. Cincinnati will go with Eugenio Suarez at third base and Tyler Stephenson in the designated hitter slot.

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.

Montgomery was removed from Wednesday's game versus the Guardians in the fifth inning with a left wrist contusion.

Montgomery initially stayed in the game after being hit by a Parker Messick pitch in the fourth inning, but he eventually had to be replaced. X-rays came back negative, and he's listed as day-to-day. Aside from the hit-by-pitch, Montgomery struck out in his only other plate appearance before being removed.

The Mets recalled Yan from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

He'll grab the roster spot vacated by the injured Daniel Duarte (hamstring). Yan posted a 5.68 ERA and 17:11 K:BB across 12.2 frames in an earlier stint with the big club.

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.

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.

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.
