    Cubs' Jared Young: Returns to minors

    Young was optioned to the Arizona Complex League on Wednesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    The 28-year-old was called up from Iowa on Sept. 19 and appeared in two games during his week in the big leagues, going 2-for-4 with a triple, a home run and three RBI. Young has a .792 OPS in 43 MLB plate appearances this season but was unable to keep his spot on the roster with Jeimer Candelario (back) returning from the injured list.

  • Cubs' Jeimer Candelario: Back from injured list

    Candelario (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will be in the lineup Wednesday against Atlanta, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    The 29-year-old has been sidelined since Sept. 11 with a back strain but is ready to rejoin the Cubs for the final five games of the regular season. Candelario was mired in a 3-for-36 slump prior to landing on the injured list and will attempt to get back on track as Chicago competes for a wild-card spot.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: On bench Wednesday

    Bohm is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus Pittsburgh.

    Bohm is one of many Phillies regulars riding the pine following Tuesday's victory over the Pirates, which locked up a spot in the playoffs. Rodolfo Castro will take over at the hot corner and bat eighth.

  • Phillies' Nick Castellanos: Takes seat Wednesday

    Castellanos is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh.

    It's a well-deserved day off for Castellanos after he made 51 consecutive starts, and he was productive at the plate during that span with 11 doubles, 15 homers, 46 RBI and an .860 OPS. Cristian Pache will man right field after Philadelphia secured its spot in the playoffs Tuesday.

  • Kyle Schwarber DH | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Not starting Wednesday

    Schwarber is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus Pittsburgh.

    Schwarber will head to the bench for the first time since Aug. 9 after the Phillies punched their ticket to the playoffs with Tuesday's victory. The veteran slugger has clubbed 45 homers but is still hitting just .196 this season, though he slashed .230/.395/.566 during the run of 42 consecutive starts.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Receives Wednesday off

    Realmuto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    Realmuto started the previous five games but will take a seat after the Phillies secured their spot in the playoffs with Tuesday's victory. Garrett Stubbs will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty Ranger Suarez.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Phillies' Trea Turner: Steps out of lineup

    Turner is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    The Phillies punched their ticket to the playoffs with Tuesday's win over the Pirates, so Turner will receive Wednesday off after making 18 straight starts. The 30-year-old delivered an ugly first half but has a .308/.361/.621 slash line since the start of August to improve his season-long OPS to .770

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game at Milwaukee.

    Goldschmidt started the previous 14 games but will take a seat Wednesday after he posted a .200/.322/.380 slash line during that span. Luken Baker will move to first base while Juan Yepez receives a start as St. Louis' designated hitter.

  • Ji-Hwan Bae 2B | MIL

    Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Absent from lineup

    Bae is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Philadelphia.

    He'll take a seat as the Phillies send southpaw Ranger Suarez to the hill. Nick Gonzales will man second base for the Pirates, and Jack Suwinski will patrol center field.

  • Josh Palacios RF | CHW

    Pirates' Josh Palacios: Out against lefty

    Palacios is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.

    The Phillies are starting left-hander Ranger Suarez, so Palacios will begin this one on the bench. Henry Davis will patrol right field for the Pirates.
