Voit went 3-for-3 with two walks, a home run, three RBI, four runs scored and four stolen bases for Single-A St. Lucie on Tuesday.

The 38th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft is getting his first taste of pro ball, and he's already making a big impact with his legs. Tuesday's homer was his first with St. Lucie, but he's gone 15-for-15 in steal attempts. The Michigan product is batting just .219 so far, but he already seems to be making adjustments -- after going 7-for-42 (.167) through his first 11 games, he's banged out nine hits in 31 at-bats (.290 batting average) across his last eight contests, including all three of his extra-base hits.

Manaea is slated to make his next start Monday in Philadelphia, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Though the Mets are considering assigning the struggling Kodai Senga to the minors rather than having him take his normal turn through the rotation this Sunday in Cincinnati, Manaea won't be in the mix to fill in for Senga in the series finale versus the Reds. Manaea most recently took the hill for Monday's 10-8 win over the Tigers, lasting just 3.2 innings while allowing five earned runs on eight hits and one walk. After returning from the 60-day injured list in mid-July, Manaea looked strong through his first four starts of the season with the Mets, but the southpaw's performance has taken a dramatic turn for the worse ever since. Over his subsequent six starts, Manaea has submitted a 7.81 ERA and 1.48 WHIP across 27.2 innings. Manaea will get another chance to right the ship Monday, but a poor showing versus the Phillies could prompt manager Carlos Mendoza to consider moving him to the bullpen.

Adams is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Adams will get a break in Wednesday's matinee after starting at catcher in Tuesday night's 5-2 win. Newcomer Jorge Alfaro will step in behind the dish and bat sixth as the Nationals go for the sweep.

Young (back) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Marlins.

Young was pulled from Tuesday's game due to back spasms. It's possible he wouldn't have started Wednesday even if he was totally healthy, but with an off day looming Thursday, Young will get some extra rest before trying to return to action this weekend. Robert Hassell is covering center field and batting seventh.

Abrams is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Marlins.

Abrams will get a rare day off while he's in the midst of a 1-for-13 skid at the palte over his last four starts. Nasim Nunez will fill in at shortstop, and outfielder Daylen Lile has been elevated to the No. 2 spot in the lineup as the Nationals try to complete the sweep.

Kim went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs.

It was a nice beginning to his Atlanta tenure, as Kim got the start at shortstop and hit sixth in the order after being claimed off waivers from the Rays and activated from the IL earlier in the day. The 29-year-old infielder should be the team's starting SS for the rest of September as he tries to wrap up a tough, injury-plagued 2025 with a strong final month.

McCutchen went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Dodgers.

McCutchen kept a Pirates' rally going in the first inning with an RBI single and reached base for the sixth straight game. He hasn't hit for much power but has otherwise remained productive, recording 16 RBI and nine runs scored across 22 games since Aug. 1. McCutchen remains a near-everyday player, but he could lose some at-bats down the stretch if the Pirates hope to get extra playing time for the likes of Nick Yorke or Cam Devanney.

Thielbar tossed a scoreless inning of relief with a strikeout to record a hold in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Atlanta.

Thielbar is now up to 19 holds for the year, which is good for second on the team behind Brad Keller's 22. The veteran lefty has been locked in lately, as he's recorded nine straight scoreless appearances. Overall, Thielbar has an elite 1.99 ERA and 0.83 WHIP to go along with 48 strikeouts in 49.2 innings out of the bullpen this season, his first with the Cubs.

Yorke went 1-for-2 on Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Yorke was called up to the majors when rosters expanded and made his first appearance of 2025. He started at first base and hit seventh with lefty Clayton Kershaw on the mound and tallied his first hit in the opening frame. Yorke could settle into a short-side platoon with Spencer Horwitz at first base.

The Reds recalled Richardson from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Richardson will provide the Reds with a fresh arm after they went with a bullpen game in Tuesday's 12-9 loss to the Blue Jays. He's collected a 3.93 ERA and 30:20 K:BB over 36.2 frames during his time with the big club this season.
