MLB Player News

Kim wasn't included on the Dodgers' roster for the NLCS against the Brewers, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

The 27-year-old played in 43 games for Los Angeles across the first two months of the campaign, but he was demoted to Triple-A Oklahoma City in late May after posting a .651 OPS. Kim spent the rest of the regular season before being added to the roster for the NLDS, during which he made one appearance as a defensive replacement. Justin Wrobleski will round out the roster for the NLCS.

Seager underwent surgery Tuesday to remove a bone spur from his right elbow, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young noted following the conclusion of the regular season that Seager could require an operation after battling through the elbow issue for months, and that's indeed what's happened. While the Rangers might ease Seager into things at the start of spring training, he should be fine for Opening Day. The 32-year-old shortstop had arguably his worst season in 2026, slashing .227/.312/.424 with 20 home runs in 102 tilts.

Kim is not in the lineup Wednesday for Game 4 of the NLDS versus the Dodgers.

Kim started at shortstop in Games 1 and 3, but he will depart the lineup in Game 4 for the second time in the series. The 30-year-old infielder is 0-for-5 with a 2:3 BB:K so far this postseason, and he made an error in Atlanta's Game 3 loss. Mauricio Dubon will occupy shortstop as Atlanta tries to even the series.

Caba (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Sept. 21.

Caba landed on the shelf Sept. 2 due to an unspecified injury and should have a normal offseason after returning to health. He hit .236 with seven home runs, 47 RBI, 21 stolen bases and 50 runs in 82 games during the regular season at High-A Beloit.

Ortiz is out of the lineup for Game 2 of the NLDS against the Padres on Sunday.

Ortiz sat out the final two games of the regular season while nursing multiple injuries, but he started at third base in Game 1 of the NLDS on Saturday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. David Hamilton will step in at the hot corner Sunday for Milwaukee versus San Diego ace Michael King.

Ortiz (knee/abdomen/groin) will start at third base and bat ninth Saturday against the Padres in Game 1 of the NLDS.

Ortiz sat out the Brewers' final two regular-season contests to recover from an assortment of injuries, and after also getting extra time to heal thanks to a first-round bye, he is on the NLDS roster and in the lineup to begin Milwaukee's postseason run. The 28-year-old infielder has been one of the most consistent hitters in baseball since the All-Star break, slashing .329/.379/.532 across 174 plate appearances during the second half.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Friday that Ortiz (knee/abdomen) is "progressing in the right direction" and expected to be on the NLDS roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Ortiz was banged up down the stretch of the regular season, nursing knee, abdominal and groin issues. It's a fair assumption that the infielder isn't 100 percent, but he's doing well enough to strap it on for the NLDS. Ortiz should be the Brewers' primary third baseman during the postseason as long as he holds up physically.

Kim is not in the lineup for Thursday's Game 3 of the wild-card series against the Phillies.

Kim started at shortstop in the first two games of the series, going 0-for-3 with a 1:2 BB:K. Atlanta is turning to Mauricio Dubon at shortstop in place of Kim, while Mike Yastrzemski plays left field and Dominic Smith serves as the designated hitter.

Adames (elbow) has been cleared to go through his normal offseason workout routine, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Adames went down with a left (non-throwing) elbow sprain in late August, but he was ramping up workouts toward the end of the regular season and will not have any restrictions over the winter. The veteran shortstop put together a .230/.289/.424 batting line with 21 home runs over 121 games for the Giants this season.

Miller (back) will play in the Arizona Fall League, Jack Vita of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Miller underwent back surgery in June and was able to see action at Single-A Clearwater and Double-A Reading before the 2026 campaign came to a close. Vita has since reported that Miller will take part in the AFL, indicating a full recovery.
