Interim manager Tony Mansolino said Tuesday that Sanchez (knee) will not return this season, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Sanchez hasn't played since July 5 but did begin a rehab assignment earlier this month. However, with Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo healthy, it doesn't make much sense to rush Sanchez back in a lost season. Sanchez will wrap up the 2025 campaign with a .231/.297/.418 slash line, five home runs, 24 RBI, 13 runs scored and a 4:27 BB:K across 101 plate appearances. Sanchez turns 33 years old in December and will be a free agent this winter.

The Twins optioned Pereda to their spring training complex Tuesday.

With Ryan Jeffers back from his stay on the 7-day IL due to a concussion, Pereda loses his spot on the 26-man roster. Pereda has appeared in 11 games for the Twins this season, slashing .345/.387/.483 with four doubles, one RBI, one run scored and a 2:8 BB:K across 32 plate appearances.

The Twins activated Jeffers (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Jeffers had been sidelined since Sept. 4 but is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers and is batting third as the designated hitter. On the season, Jeffers is slashing .262/.353/.394 with nine home runs, 44 RBI, 47 runs scored and a 48:86 BB:K across 442 plate appearances. Jeffers' power numbers have taken a big dip after he clubbed 21 home runs over 465 trips to the plate in 2024.

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.

Naylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

It's lefty ace Tarik Skubal on the bump for the Tigers, so the lefty-swinging Naylor will take a seat. Austin Hedges will do the catching and bat ninth for the Guardians.

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.

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.

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.

Jeffers (concussion) will travel with the Twins on their final road trip this week but has yet to be cleared to play in games, MLB.com reports.

Jeffers has been sidelined for the past two-plus weeks with a concussion. He has been able to go through most baseball activities, but Jeffers has yet to clear concussion protocol and it's uncertain whether that will happen before the end of the regular season. If Jeffers is unable to make it back this week, Christian Vazquez -- who was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday -- will serve as the Twins' primary catcher.

The Orioles activated Rutschman (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Rutschman has missed the last month-plus with a right oblique strain but will rejoin the Orioles' active roster for the final week of the regular season. He and Samuel Basallo should share catching duties in the final week, with both players also likely to see action action at designated hitter. Basallo could play some first base, as well.
