Braves' Chris Sale: Next start pushed back
Sale will make his next scheduled start Wednesday against the Reds, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
The veteran southpaw was originally slated to start during the weekend series against the Astros. Instead, Atlanta will go with Tyler Mahle on Friday, Grant Holmes on Saturday and Martin Perez on Sunday, per Jesus Cano of The Athletic.

Sean Sullivan SP | COL
Rockies' Sean Sullivan: Reinstated from IL, optioned to Triple-A
The Rockies reinstated Sullivan (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Sullivan landed on the 15-day injured list in early July due to left shoulder impingement, and he wasn't cleared to embark on a rehab assignment until Sept. 10. There's not enough space for him in the Rockies' rotation, so he'll stick around in Triple-A, where he has a 5.71 ERA and 1.55 WHIP across 58.1 innings.

Hunter Goodman C | COL
Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Out again with thumb issue
Goodman (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer noted Tuesday that Goodman is dealing with a thumb injury and is considered day-to-day, Guerilla Sports reports. It's unclear when he was first injured, but Goodman has sat out two straight games and three of the last four contests. Braxton Fulford will start at catcher and will bat eighth for Colorado.

Joshua Baez LF | STL
Cardinals' Joshua Baez: Exits game with side tightness
Baez was removed from Wednesday's game against the Giants after the ninth inning due to left side tightness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Baez popped out in the bottom of the eighth inning and was lifted from the contest before the game went to extras. The Cardinals are considering the outfielder day-to-day for the time being, but it's unclear whether he will be sent for medical imaging. Baez was hitless in four trips to the plate Wednesday before exiting.

Edgardo Henriquez RP | LAD
Dodgers' Edgardo Henriquez: Nursing low-grade strain
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Henriquez has a "low-grade" back strain, and the team is "hopeful" the reliever will be back for the postseason, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Henriquez landed on the 15-day injured list Monday and will not be eligible to pitch again before the end of the regular season. However, he's managed to avoid a serious injury and could be ready to help the Dodgers once the playoffs roll around. The hard-throwing reliever has been dynamite out of the Dodgers' bullpen in 2026, posting a 2.85 ERA and 71:25 K:BB over 60 innings.

Cooper Pratt SS | MIL
Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Returning to Milwaukee lineup
Pratt (illness) will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game versus the Pirates.
Pratt didn't participate in Tuesday's game due to illness, but he feels well enough a day later to give it a go. The rookie shortstop is slashing .273/.341/.369 with three home runs and 13 stolen bases in his first 64 big-league contests.
