MLB Player News

Hampson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Hampson will hit the bench after starting in each of the past three games. After going 4-for-6 with a solo home run in the first two of those contests, Hampson fell back to earth in a 5-4 win over the Phillies on Sunday, when he struck out in four of his five plate appearances. Joey Wendle will step back in at shortstop on Monday and still appears to be the Marlins' preferred option at the position.

Stallings is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Stallings will take a seat for the second straight game, giving way to Nick Fortes behind the plate. Despite sitting in favor of Fortes in consecutive starts, Stallings has the edge in playing time so far in September, making six starts to Fortes' four.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Monday that Adams underwent successful surgery to repair the fractured hamate bone in his left wrist, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Adams is expected to be fully healed from the procedure ahead of spring training in February. Drew Millas will serve as the top backup to Keibert Ruiz for the rest of the season while Adams is on the shelf. Adams finishes his second full season in Washington with a .273/.331/.476 slash line to go with four home runs, 21 RBI and eight runs across 158 plate appearances over 44 games.

Turang is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

The lefty-hitting Turang will take a seat against Marlins southpaw Jesus Luzardo, marking the rookie's first day off since Aug. 16. Andruw Monasterio will get the nod at second base while Turang's streak of 21 consecutive starts comes to an end.

Wiemer (mouth) will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Marlins.

Wiemer suffered a mouth laceration when he was involved in a collision in the outfield during Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees in 13 innings, but the injury won't be anything that keeps the rookie out as the Brewers begin a four-game set with Miami. Though he's largely served as a late-inning defensive replacement in recent weeks, Wiemer will pick up his first start since Sept. 3 on Monday.

The Padres transferred Sanchez (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

Sanchez had already been ruled out for the season after fracturing his right wrist last week, so his move to the 60-day IL was merely procedural. The transaction opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-handed reliever Nick Hernandez, whose contract was selected from Triple-A El Paso. Sanchez is expected to avoid surgery and should be fully cleared ahead of spring training.

The Padres placed Hill on the 15-day injured list Monday with a sprained left ring finger.

San Diego placed Hill on the IL with the same injury Aug. 2 prior to activating him when the roster expanded from 26 to 28 on Sept. 1, but the veteran southpaw made just three appearances out of the bullpen before suffering an apparent setback. The Padres selected the contract of right-hander Nick Hernandez from Triple-A El Paso to fill Hill's spot in the bullpen.

The Padres selected Hernandez's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Hernandez will give the Padres a fresh arm out of the bullpen after lefty Tim Hill (finger) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 28-year-old Hernandez has received his first MLB call-up after posting a 3.60 ERA while striking out 81 and walking 20 across 60 innings between El Paso and Double-A San Antonio this season.

Yelich (back) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Though he'll be out of the lineup for the third day in a row, Yelich has reportedly shown improvement in his recovery from back stiffness, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Yelich ramped up his activity and was spotted running in the outfield Monday, perhaps paving the way for him to return to the lineup as soon as Tuesday. Tyrone Taylor will cover left field in Yelich's stead Monday.

The Brewers transferred Mejia (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

Since Mejia's IL stint is retroactive to Aug. 14, his 2023 season is effectively over. The 27-year-old right-hander recently headed to the Brewers' facility in Arizona to begin his rehab program, but Milwaukee apparently wasn't convinced that Mejia was going to be a realistic option for the bullpen down the stretch. By shifting Mejia to the 60-day IL, the Brewers were able to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for third baseman/designated hitter Josh Donaldson, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Nashville.
