Burger left Wednesday's game against the Mets early due to right quad tightness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Burger was pulled after making an error on a throw home during the third inning. No details regarding the severity of Burger's injury were provided, but with an extra day between games for Miami, there's a chance Burger returns without missing any time.

Burger was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mets with an apparent injury, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Burger had to be taken out of the game after making an error throwing to the plate in the third inning. The Marlins will take a look at him and should provide more details shortly, but Burger seemed to be grabbing at his quad as he left the field. He should be viewed as day-to-day for now.

Harrison will start Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Harrison was recalled Wednesday from Triple-A Sacramento as a rotation replacement for Alex Cobb, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023 regular season because of a left hip impingement. Harrison is an exciting young prospect, but he carries a 5.18 ERA through his first 24.1 major-league innings and is a risky fantasy streaming bet versus Los Angeles.

Ortega was added to the lineup for Wednesday's game at Miami.

Ortega will start in left field and bat sixth versus the Marlins and right-hander Eury Perez after DJ Stewart (wrist) had to be scratched just before first pitch.

Stewart was scratched from the lineup Wednesday at Miami due to an apparent wrist injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Stewart was spotted with a large ice wrap on his wrist before the game, though there's no word yet as to the severity of the issue. Jeff McNeil will shift from left field to right field as Rafael Ortega enters the Mets' lineup in left.

Smith is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers.

This appears to be a routine day of rest for Smith, who started behind the plate in the first two games of the Dodgers' three-game set versus Detroit. Austin Barnes will catch and bat ninth in Wednesday's series finale.

Manager Oliver Marmol said Wednesday that Gorman (hamstring) has a "slim" chance of returning before the end of the season, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Gorman was placed on the 10-day injured list last Wednesday because of a Grade 2 right hamstring strain and the out-of-contention Cardinals have no real reason to rush him back for the final week. Tommy Edman, Jose Fermin and Juniel Querecuto are currently rotating in at second base.

Carlson underwent successful surgery Wednesday on his left ankle, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The surgeons cleaned out bone spurs from Carlson's troublesome ankle and also performed an arthroscopic repair. The 24-year-old outfielder is expected to be fully recovered by the beginning of spring training in 2024.

Marte (groin) is scheduled to play a pair of rehab games Saturday and Sunday with Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

If all goes well in those two games, Marte should be cleared to return to the Mets' active roster for their final homestand, which begins Tuesday against the visiting Marlins. Out since early August due to a right groin strain, the veteran outfielder is currently getting simulated reps at the team's spring training complex in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

Bryant was ejected from Wednesday's game against the Padres for arguing balls and strikes, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Bryant voiced his displeasure on a called third strike in the top of the fifth inning and got the heave-ho from home plate umpire Brian Knight. He finished the day 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and ultimately went a combined 0-for-12 with five strikeouts across the Rockies' three-game series in San Diego.
