Muncy is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cincinnati.

The left-handed-swinging Muncy will grab a seat as the Reds send southpaw Andrew Abbott to the bump. Enrique Hernandez will man the hot corner for the Dodgers in Muncy's stead.

Hayes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers.

Hayes has now started only one of the last four contests for the Reds. Cincinnati will go with Eugenio Suarez at third base and Tyler Stephenson in the designated hitter slot.

Rodriguez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers.

Rodriguez had made 19 straight starts, but the left-handed hitter will get a breather as the Dodgers send southpaw Blake Snell to the bump. The rookie outfielder is just 1-for-25 at the plate over his last seven contests. Juan Brito will cover right field for the Reds on Wednesday in what will be his first-ever start in the outfield in the majors.

The Mets recalled Yan from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

He'll grab the roster spot vacated by the injured Daniel Duarte (hamstring). Yan posted a 5.68 ERA and 17:11 K:BB across 12.2 frames in an earlier stint with the big club.

The Mets placed Duarte on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left hamstring strain.

The injury ends what has been a terrific season out of the Mets' bullpen, as Duarte holds a 2.12 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 30:7 K:BB over 29.2 innings. He is under team control for several more years and has set himself up well to be part of the Mets' bullpen in 2027.

The Mets recalled Curry from Triple-A Syracuse and will have him start Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

He'll enter the rotation as a replacement for the injured Robert Stock (fingers). All of the right-hander's eight outings for the Mets to this point have come in relief, but 13 of Curry's 15 appearances at Syracuse have been starts. He holds a 3.44 ERA and 12:8 K:BB over 18.1 frames with the big club.

The Mets placed Stock on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with numbness in his fingers.

Stock had been slated to start Wednesday's game versus the Orioles, but instead his season is over. The 36-year-old will finish the season with a 5.93 ERA and 29:15 K:BB over 30.1 innings covering seven starts and one relief appearance for the Mets. Xzavion Curry will start Wednesday in Stock's place.

Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-0 victory over the Reds.

Hernandez gave Los Angeles a 3-0 lead with his two-run blast to left field in the third inning. It was his second long ball in as many days and his third over his past seven games. Hernandez has reached base safely in 13 of his past 14 contests, slashing a robust .417/.517/.771 with four home runs, nine runs, 18 RBI and three stolen bases over that stretch. He had a quiet .706 OPS during the first half of the campaign, but since the All-Star break his OPS is at .842 across 51 games.

The Diamondbacks activated Nelson (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Nelson was sidelined for the past three months with a right elbow strain, but he's finally been cleared to return after yielding two runs with a 4:0 K:BB over 2.2 innings in two rehab outings with Triple-A Reno. The 28-year-old will be utilized in a relief role down the stretch for the Diamondbacks.

Winn is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Winn will get the afternoon off after starting each of the previous five contests. It will be Thomas Saggese manning shortstop and batting seventh for the Cardinals in Wednesday's rubber match.
