  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Exits with bruised finger

    Realmuto was removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins with a right index finger contusion, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Realmuto took a foul ball off his hand while behind the plate during the ninth inning of Tuesday's contest, and he was later lifted for a pinch hitter. X-rays on his hand came back negative afterward, so he seems to have avoided severe damage, but the Phillies may give Rafael Marchan a start or two at catcher over the next couple of days to give Realmuto's finger time to heal.

    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Getting rest Tuesday

    Pages isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Giants, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Pages increased his hitting streak to four games with a double in Monday's contest, but he'll retreat to the bench Tuesday while Jimmy Crooks starts behind the plate and bats seventh.

  • Joey Bart C | PIT

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Scratched with wrist injury

    Bart was scratched from Tuesday's lineup in Cincinnati due to left wrist discomfort, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Bart had been slated to serve as the Pirates' designated hitter, but he'll need at least a day to rest a wrist issue. Bryan Reynolds will move from right field into the DH slot, while Alexander Canario has entered the lineup in right field.

  • Henry Davis C | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Exiting starting nine

    Davis is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.

    Rafael Flores is getting his first big-league start at catcher while Davis rests. Fellow catcher Joey Bart is also in Tuesday's lineup, serving as the Pirates' designated hitter.

  • Braves' Drake Baldwin: Closing rookie season strong

    Baldwin went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's win over the Nationals.

    Baldwin reached base three times in Monday's win, highlighted by a two-run single in the third inning. He's stayed hot at the plate down the stretch, slashing .370/.433/.778 over his last seven games. For the season, the 24-year-old is batting .275/.344/.462 with 16 doubles, 18 homers and 78 RBI in 119 games as he makes a strong push for National League Rookie of the Year.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Returns to lineup Monday

    Contreras (hand) will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Monday's game versus the Padres.

    Contreras was held out of Sunday's lineup in St. Louis after his left hand was hit by an opposing hitter's bat during Saturday's game. He's well enough to give it a go after one day of rest as the Brewers open a series in San Diego.

  • Padres' Freddy Fermin: Sitting Monday

    Fermin is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Brewers on Monday.

    Fermin will be on the bench for a second consecutive game while Elias Diaz serves behind home plate and bats ninth. Fermin has gone 13-for-41 (.317) with three doubles, seven runs, one home run and six RBI since Sept. 1.

  • Braves' Chuckie Robinson: Joins new organization

    Atlanta claimed Robinson off waivers from the Dodgers on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Gwinnett's season came to an end Sunday, so unless Atlanta recalls him at some point during the final week of the campaign, Robinson will have to wait until 2026 to make his organizational debut. The 30-year-old catcher holds a career .131/.169/.192 slash line over 138 plate appearances in parts of three seasons in the majors across stops with the Reds, White Sox and Dodgers.

  • Joey Bart C | PIT

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Four hits, homer in win

    Bart went 4-for-4 with a double, a three-run homer and an additional run scored in Sunday's 11-0 win over the A's.

    It's the second four-hit game this season for Bart, who's homered in back-to-back contests after hitting just one home run in his previous 80 games. Overall, the 28-year-old Bart is slashing .251/.358/.345 with four homers, 29 RBI and 21 runs scored across 321 plate appearances this season.

  • James McCann C | ARI

    Diamondbacks' James McCann: Getting rest Sunday

    McCann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    After catching all nine innings of Saturday night's 4-3 win, McCann will rest for the day game. Gabriel Moreno will settle in behind the dish for Arizona.
