The Padres transferred Musgrove (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Musgrove has been on the injured list since early August due to inflammation in his right shoulder. He was able to resume throwing last Friday, but with the Padres officially eliminated from playoff contention, his focus has shifted to getting ready for 2024. Musgrove's spot on the 40-man roster will be filled by Chandler Seagle, who was selected from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

The Padres placed Campusano on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right ankle sprain.

Campusano's injury could help explain why he's missed each of the Padres' last four games, and it will officially keep him out for the final two. The 25-year-old backstop put up a .319/.356/.491 slash line through 174 plate appearances in 2023, and he projects as San Diego's primary catcher for 2024.

Tauchman will not start Saturday's game against the Brewers, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The veteran outfielder maintained a surprisingly solid .746 OPS in 81 games through the end of August, but his OPS sits at just .693 in September. With lefty Eric Lauer on the mound for Milwaukee, Tauchman will hit the bench in favor of Patrick Wisdom, who starts at first base, pushing Cody Bellinger to Tauchman's usual spot in center field.

Hoerner (knee) won't start Saturday's game against the Brewers but will be available off the bench, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Hoerner fouled a ball off his knee Friday, and while he avoided a fracture, he's evidently too sore to start Saturday's must-win contest. Christopher Morel will handle second base in Hoerner's absence.

Frelick isn't starting Saturday against the Cubs.

With left-hander Jordan Wicks set to start on the mound for Chicago, the lefty-hitting Frelick will retreat to the dugout. Tyrone Taylor will get the nod in right field and bat sixth.

Mitchell isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the Cubs.

The lefty-hitting Mitchell will take a seat to begin Saturday's game as southpaw Jordan Wicks starts on the bump for the Cubs. Blake Perkins will start in center field instead while batting ninth.

Yelich isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the Cubs.

Yelich and his .633 OPS against lefties will sit out the beginning of Saturday's game with Jordan Wicks set to start for Chicago. Mark Canha will start in left field with William Contreras serving as the designated hitter, allowing Victor Caratini to start behind the plate.

Turang isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the Cubs.

Left-hander Jordan Wicks will be on the hill for the Cubs to begin Saturday's contest, meaning the left-handed bat of Turang will stay put in Milwaukee's dugout. Andruw Monasterio will fill in at the keystone and bat eighth.

The Brewers optioned Boushley to the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.

Boushley was selected to the active roster Friday and looked solid during his MLB debut, giving up one run while pitching the final 2.1 frames and striking out five batters en route to collecting his first big-league win. He'll continue to work at the Brewers' facility in Arizona and could rejoin the team should Milwaukee's bullpen take a hit during the postseason. Clayton Andrews was sent to Arizona alongside Boushley, and Eric Lauer and Trevor Megill (paternity) took their places on the active roster.

The Brewers optioned Andrews to the Arizona Complex League on Saturday

After giving up two runs over 1.2 frames Friday, Andrews will be sent to the Brewers' facility in Arizona and remain on stand-by should the team need him during its postseason run. The 26-year-old has been lit up over the course of his four MLB appearances, so it's unlikely he sees action in the playoffs barring an emergency situation. He will be joined in Arizona by Caleb Boushley, and Eric Lauer and Trevor Megill (paternity) will take their places on the active roster.
