Acuna is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt versus the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Acuna had started each of the previous four contests at second base, but he'll begin Thursday's series opener on the bench. Brett Baty is handling second base and batting eighth for the Mets.

The Brewers will recall Durbin from Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The Brewers were left with a hole at third base after optioning Oliver Dunn to Nashville on Thursday, and it now appears that Durbin will take over as Milwaukee's primary starter at the hot corner once he officially joins the big-league club. The 25-year-old speedster has slashed .278/.316/.481 with two home runs, three RBI, 12 runs scored and three stolen bases through 58 minor-league plate appearances, and he's recorded a base hit in 11 of his 13 contests. His first game in Milwaukee will mark his MLB debut.

The Rays optioned Montes to Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

He's clearing out to make room on the active roster for Richie Palacios (finger), who was activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday. Montes is 2-for-10 at the dish during his brief time with the big club in 2025.

Schuemann will start at third base and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the White Sox.

Schuemann has the ability to play all over the infield and outfield, but with the Athletics having enjoyed generally good health so far this season from their position players, the 27-year-old utility man hasn't been able to pick up meaningful playing time. He'll be starting Thursday for just the third time in the Athletics' first 19 games.

Acuna went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Twins.

Making his fourth straight start at second base, Acuna extended his hitting streak to six games while swiping his fifth bag in five attempts. The 23-year-old is batting .381 (8-for-21) during his heater with two doubles, six runs and a 3:4 BB:K, and the Mets may be exploring ways to keep Acuna in the lineup -- Jeff McNeil (oblique) is seeing time in center field during his rehab assignment.

McLain is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.

McLain started the first two games upon his return from the 10-day injured list, but he'll get a breather for Thursday's series finale. Gavin Lux is at second base and batting fifth for the Reds on Thursday.

Rodgers went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Thursday against the Cardinals.

Rodgers was in the lineup for the first time since April 9 after dealing with a hip issue. He retook the starting job at second base and hit sixth, also pushing Mauricio Dubon back to the bench.

Farmer went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Farmer has gained most of his playing time at second base in the absence of Thairo Estrada (wrist), but he's recently seen work at first base and shortstop while also serving as the designated hitter. He's quietly been one of the few bright spots for the Colorado offense to begin the season, tallying multiple base hits in six of his last 11 starts. Farmer has nine doubles with four RBI and two runs scored in that span.

Sosa went 2-for-4 with a double Wednesday against the Athletics.

Sosa's overall numbers aren't particularly impressive, but he quietly hit well during the White Sox's home stand. Across five starts, he's gone 6-for-19 with a pair of doubles, two RBI and two runs scored. Sosa can't be counted on for much power, but he should remain a regular so long as Josh Rojas (toe) is sidelined.

Gonzales (ankle) is still wearing a boot but is partially weight bearing, MLB.com reports.

Gonzales fractured his left ankle on Opening Day while rounding the bases after hitting a home run. He can play catch from a seated position and has been cleared to run on an anti-gravity treadmill, but his return to game action remains at least a few weeks away.
