  • Blake Treinen RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Officially placed on IL

    The Dodgers placed Treinen (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.

    Treinen injured his right shoulder while warming up in the bullpen during Saturday's game against the Giants. Per Fabian, the Dodgers suspect that Treinen suffered a capsule injury, and the right-hander will undergo an MRI on Monday to get more clarity on the matter. Bobby Miller was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Scratched from Sunday's lineup

    Moreno (hamstring) has been removed from Sunday's lineup against the Padres, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Moreno was initially slated to serve as the designated hitter for Sunday's must-win game. However, he has now been scratched due to a hamstring issue that cropped up Friday, though he could be available off the bench as a pinch hitter. Pavin Smith will now be the designated hitter, with Jordan Lawlar entering the lineup in center field while Tim Tawa moves to first base.

  • Cubs' Gavin Hollowell: Sent down to minors

    The Cubs optioned Hollowell to the Arizona Complex League on Sunday.

    The move corresponds with Braxton Garrett being recalled from Triple-A Iowa. Hollowell was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday and recorded one out while issuing one walk against the Red Sox on the same day. He has a 2.45 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 14.2 innings this season.

  • Cubs' Braxton Garrett: Recalled for Sunday's regular-season finale

    The Cubs recalled Garrett from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.

    The Cubs are locked into their playoff spot, so Garrett will be called up to serve in a long-relief role, with Shota Imanaga expected to work an abbreviated start for Sunday's regular-season finale. Garrett has started in two games for the Cubs this season, allowing seven runs on seven hits and eight walks while striking out five across 4.1 innings.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Luis Arraez: Not ruled out for pinch hitting

    Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly said that Arraez (ankle) has improved enough to potentially be used as a pinch hitter during Sunday's game versus the Rays, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Arraez has not taken any swings since suffering a left ankle sprain Thursday, so an appearance off the bench Sunday seems unlikely. However, with the Phillies still trying to lock in their playoff berth, anything is on the table. Bryson Stott is playing second base for the Phillies on Sunday.

  • Noah Murdock RP | PIT

    Pirates' Noah Murdock: Added to bullpen

    The Pirates recalled Murdock from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    He will provide the Pirates with a fresh bullpen arm for Sunday's regular-season finale. Murdock is unscored upon in three outings with the big club this season.

  • Evan Sisk RP | PIT

    Pirates' Evan Sisk: Optioned back to minors

    The Pirates optioned Sisk to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Sisk had pitched each of the last two days, so he's being sent out in favor of a fresh bullpen arm. Noah Murdock is grabbing the vacated roster spot.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Getting breather Sunday

    Lowe is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Tigers.

    After slugging his 35th home run of the season in Saturday's loss to the Tigers, Lowe will get some extra rest during Sunday's regular-season finale. Assuming the impending free agent doesn't appear off the bench Sunday, he'll finish with a .260/.331/.493 batting line and 96 RBI to go along with his 35 long balls.

  • Oneil Cruz CF | PIT

    Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Sitting out despite clean MRI

    Cruz (knee) is absent from the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Tigers.

    Cruz was forced to exit Saturday's game with a left knee injury. The good news is an MRI came back negative, per Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com, but there's no reason to push Cruz to play during the regular-season finale. He will finish the 2026 campaign having hit .280/.368/.486 with 20 home runs and 30 stolen bases over just 97 contests.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Exiting starting nine

    Lopez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    The Marlins are resting several everyday players during Sunday's regular-season finale. Assuming he doesn't appear off the bench Sunday, Lopez will finish his excellent 2026 campaign having slashed .305/.349/.437 with 11 home runs and 34 stolen bases. Javier Sanoja is handling shortstop for the Marlins on Sunday.
