McNeil is not in the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader in Baltimore.

McNeil should be back in the starting nine for the nightcap, but he'll begin Thursday's matinee on the bench. Tyrone Taylor will cover center field and Brett Baty will start at second base for the Mets in the first contest of the day.

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

Acuna slashed .241/.293/.283 with 11 steals in 65 games for the Mets before being sent down to Triple-A last month. He will offer a bit more versatility than outfielder Travis Jankowski, who was designated for assignment to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for Acuna. Even so, Acuna is unlikely to find himself in the lineup on a regular basis.

The Mets will recall Acuna from Triple-A Syracuse, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Presumably, Acuna will serve as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader in Baltimore. The utility infielder was sent down to Syracuse last month after slashing .241/.293/.283 with 11 steals in 65 contests.

Semien went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk and four RBI in a loss to the Angels on Wednesday.

Semien got the scoring started for Texas with an RBI groundout in the first frame. He added a sacrifice fly in the third before launching a two-run homer in the seventh inning. The veteran infielder snapped a mini five-game slump during which he had gone 2-for-20 at the plate. Despite that brief rough stretch, Semien has been quite productive for about the past six weeks -- he's batting .312 with seven home runs, 25 RBI and 28 runs over his past 36 contests dating back to May 30.

Farmer went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Farmer's two-run shot off Isaiah Campbell in the eighth inning snapped a streak of 14 consecutive at-bats without a hit. The utility infielder is up to four home runs on the season, just one shy of matching his 2024 total. He's slashing .219/.262/.348 in 214 at-bats during 2025.

Saggese is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Nolan Arenado (shoulder) will return to the starting nine Wednesday after sitting out each of the last three contests, ending Saggese's brief run as the Cardinals' third baseman. While starting in each of the three games Arenado missed, Saggese went 3-for-11 with a double, two RBI and a run. The 23-year-old will likely see limited playing time moving forward as a utility infielder.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

The left-handed-hitting Garcia will get a rare night off against a right-hander in Andre Pallante, who owns significant reverse splits both this season and throughout his career. Amed Rosario will receive the start at second base in place of Garcia, who has gone 4-for-22 over his last eight games to bring his batting average down to .266 for the season.

The Yankees recalled Vivas from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old infielder will come up from Triple-A due to the open spot on the 26-man active roster created by the Yankees designating veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu for assignment. Vivas has posted a poor .522 OPS through 51 plate appearances in the majors this season, though he's slashed .254/.390/.354 since returning to Triple-A in early June. Oswald Peraza will make his fourth straight start at third base Wednesday against the Mariners, but manager Aaron Boone said that Vivas and J.C. Escarra will also vie for playing time at the position after Jazz Chisholm was recently moved over to second base, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.

The Yankees announced Wednesday that LeMahieu was designated for assignment, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

After the Yankees elected to move Jazz Chisholm from third base to second base earlier this week, LeMahieu lost hold of his everyday role at the keystone. Though LeMahieu has prior experience at both corner-infield spots, manager Aaron Boone acknowledged that it's a challenge for the 36-year-old to hold up to the physical demands of the hot corner. Given LeMahieu's defensive limitations at this stage of his career, the Yankees didn't view him as a viable utility infielder, so the team will eat the approximately $22 million remaining on his contract once he passes through waivers. LeMahieu will have the ability to elect free agency after the waiver process concludes, but given his advancing age, lack of defensive flexibility and declining production at the plate -- he posted a .266/.338/.336 slash line with two home runs in 142 plate appearances for the Yankees in 2025 -- he may not have a long list of suitors on the open market.

Gorman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Nationals.

The left-handed-hitting Gorman had been getting more opportunities against lefties lately, but he'll take a seat for the Cardinals' second consecutive matchup with a southpaw while MacKenzie Gore takes the hill for Washington. Yohel Pozo will serve as the Cardinals' designated hitter and will bat sixth.
