Baty joined the Mets on Wednesday and is expected to be formally called up from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of the team's game in Atlanta, SNY.tv reports.

With Eduardo Escobar (oblique) in line to join Luis Guillorme (groin) on the 10-day injured list, the 22-year-old Baty should immediately settle in as the Mets' everyday third baseman. Whether he retains the gig when Guillorme and Escobar are likely back to full health at some point in September will likely be determined by how well Baty performs over the next few weeks in his first taste of the big leagues. Baty showed an advanced approach at the plate between stops at Syracuse and Double-A Binghamton this season, slashing .315/.410/.533 while striking out at a 24.8 percent rate and walking at an 11.6 percent clip across 420 plate appearances.

Urias went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.

The multi-hit effort was Urias' first since July 25, ending a 19-game stretched in which he batted just .164. Despite the extended slump, Urias doesn't appear to have lost hold of his near-everyday role at third base. He'll man the hot corner and bat fifth in Wednesday's series finale in Toronto, according to Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com.

Madrigal isn't starting Wednesday against Washington.

Madrigal is resting during Wednesday's series finale after he went 1-for-9 with a double, a run and a strikeout over the last two games. Zach McKinstry will shift to the keystone while P.J. Higgins enters the lineup at first base.

Senzel (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Senzel will end up missing the entire three-game series with the Phillies, but with a team off day on tap Thursday, the Reds are seemingly hopeful that he'll be ready to go for the three-game set in Pittsburgh this weekend. Albert Almora will draw another start in center field Wednesday in Senzel's stead.

Segura will start at second base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Reds.

With the lefty-hitting Bryson Stott getting the afternoon off with southpaw Nick Lodolo on the hill for the Reds and with Kyle Schwarber (calf) still out of the lineup, Segura will step into the leadoff role for the 12th time this season. Segura gets the assignment after going 3-for-5 with a run scored in Tuesday's 11-4 win.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the White Sox.

Bregman doubled in consecutive plate appearances, and he tallied an RBI and run scored in the third inning. The effort extended Bregman's hitting streak to eight games, during which he's collected three home runs, four doubles, nine runs scored and 10 RBI. For the season, he now owns a .820 OPS, his highest mark since the 2019 campaign.

Castro went 0-for-3 with a walk Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Castro has taken advantage of Ke'Bryan Hayes' (back) absence and appeared in the lineup for six of eight games since being promoted from Triple-A Indianapolis. Hayes will now be sidelined until at least Aug. 24 after being placed on the injured list Tuesday, which should lock Castro in as the primary third baseman in Pittsburgh for the time being. Since returning to the majors, Castro has collected eight hits in 24 at-bats with a home run, one RBI and two runs scored.

Miranda went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Royals.

Miranda continues to hit well in August -- he's gone 17-for-55 (.309) through 14 games this month. Six of those have been multi-hit efforts. The corner infielder is up to a .283/.330/.461 slash line with 11 home runs, 49 RBI, 29 runs scored, one stolen base and 15 doubles through 288 plate appearances, and he's emerged as a fixture in the heart of the Twins' order.

Urshela went 4-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Royals.

Urshela contributed RBI singles in the seventh and eighth innings. This was his third multi-hit effort in 11 games in August, and he's hit .300 (12-for-40) this month with four extra-base hits. The third baseman is batting .269 -- his highest mark since June 11 -- while adding a .745 OPS, 11 home runs, 49 RBI and 41 runs scored through 97 contests.

Davis is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Davis went 2-for-3 with a double and two runs Monday but will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Evan Longoria will start at the hot corner while Wilmer Flores serves as the designated hitter.
