Mullins isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Mullins will get a chance to rest his legs during Thursday's series finale after going 1-for-4 with a solo homer during Wednesday's contest. Jonny DeLuca will take over in center field and bat sixth.

Aranda isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

After going 1-for-8 with four strikeouts over the first three games of the series, Aranda will grab a seat on the bench to begin Thursday's finale. Ryan Vilade will fill in at first base and bat eighth.

Jones isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

Jones will grab a seat on the bench to begin Thursday's series finale after going 2-for-11 with a walk, a run scored and a steal against the Rays over his last three games. Jose Caballero will start in center field as a result and bat ninth.

Chisholm isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

Chisholm has gone 2-for-6 with two walks, a run and a steal across his first two games since returning from the injured list, and the Yankees will now give him a day to rest as they prepare to face left-hander Ian Seymour. Anthony Volpe will get the nod at second base and bat seventh.

The Mariners recalled Rivas from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Rivas will give the Mariners some additional infield depth following the injury to Brock Rodden (knee). The 28-year-old Rivas has a steady glove but has been woeful offensively during his time with the Mariners this season, slashing .147/.270/.190 in 47 games.

The Mariners placed Rodden on the 10-day injured list Thursday with left patella tendon inflammation.

It's unclear how long Rodden's knee has been bothering him, but the injury will prematurely end the infielder's season. He'll finish with a lowly .197/.306/.279 batting line with zero home runs and zero stolen bases in 30 contests for the Mariners.

The Yankees recalled Hanner from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

Hanner will return to the Bronx to replenish the Yankees' bullpen depth following Clarke Schmidt's (biceps) move to the IL. Although he boasts a 2.35 ERA in 57.1 frames at Triple-A, Hanner will almost certainly be limited to low-leverage work with the big club after giving up seven earned runs in 5.1 MLB innings.

The Yankees placed Schmidt on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right bicep neuritis, retroactive to Monday.

Schmidt's move to the injured list will officially rule him out for the AL Wild Card Series and the start of the ALDS, but there's a chance that the Yankees may shut the 30-year-old down for the season and focus on getting him ready for 2027. He appeared in just one regular-season game this year, allowing two hits and recording two strikeouts in two-thirds of an inning Sept. 16 against Minnesota. Bradley Hanner will come up to fill the open bullpen spot.

The Rays selected Woodford's contract from Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Woodford will provide some bullpen protection after the Rays' relief corps was needed for 4.1 innings in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees. He's collected a 7.18 ERA and 1.78 WHIP with 23 strikeouts across 26.1 innings in the big leagues this season between stops with the Brewers and Cubs.

The Rays optioned Englert to Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Englert was knocked around for eight runs over 3.2 innings in a spot start Wednesday against the Yankees. He's being scrubbed from the active roster in order to make space for Jake Woodford, who will provide the Rays with a fresh bullpen arm.
