MLB Player News

Carroll was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rockies after taking a pitch off his right wrist, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Gavin Hollowell struck him with a 93.7-mph fastball in the bottom of the fourth inning. Carroll ran for himself and raced home on an RBI single from Alek Thomas, but he was replaced in the Diamondbacks' outfield before the top of the fifth. The 23-year-old NL Rookie of the Year frontrunner finished the day 0-for-1 with two HBPs and two runs scored. Consider him day-to-day while Arizona's medical staff evaluates the situation.

Grove (lat) is expected to return to the Dodgers in a relief role early next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Grove has primarily worked as a starter this season, but the 26-year-old right-hander is poised to operate in a multi-inning bullpen gig down the stretch following a month-long stay on the major-league injured list for a bout of right lat tightness. Ryan Pepiot will be the rotation replacement for Julio Urias, who is now on administrative leave following his Sunday arrest on suspicion of felony domestic violence.

Guillorme (calf) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Friday with High-A Brooklyn, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Guillorme has been out since late July because of a Grade 2 strain of his right calf, but he began a running program in late August and has responded well over the last few weeks. The 28-year-old utility man was batting .238/.304/.347 through 50 games this year for the Mets prior to his lengthy IL stint.

Kelly (forearm) is on track to be activated from the 15-day injured list early next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Kelly has completed multiple successful bullpen sessions since suffering a minor setback in late August and is expected to return to action during the Dodgers' upcoming three-game series against the Padres, which begins Monday. The veteran reliever landed on the injured list Aug. 13 due to right forearm inflammation.

Barnes cleared concussion protocol Wednesday after getting hit by a backswing Tuesday versus the Marlins, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Barnes has a contusion on the side of his head where Nick Fortes accidentally struck him with his bat in the bottom of the seventh inning Tuesday, but the 33-year-old backup catcher could return to action as soon as Thursday. Will Smith is behind the plate for the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Pepiot will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Thursday's series finale at Miami, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The 26-year-old right-hander is replacing Julio Urias, who went on administrative leave Wednesday as MLB investigates his weekend arrest on suspicion of domestic violence. Pepiot boasts a 1.29 ERA and 14:2 K:BB in 14 big-league innings this year and should carry significant fantasy streaming appeal on Thursday's lighter slate. He could take on a more permanent rotation spot moving forward.

Major League Baseball placed Urias on administrative leave Wednesday following his arrest Sunday on suspicion of felony domestic violence, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Urias previously received a 20-game suspension in 2019 under MLB's domestic violence policy and could be facing a longer ban in the wake of his arrest. An impending free agent, the 27-year-old has likely already made his final appearance in a Dodgers uniform regardless of where MLB's investigation into the incident ultimately leads. Urias is set to appear in court in Los Angeles on Sept. 27.

Wright (shoulder) said Wednesday that he expects to make at least one more minor-league rehab start, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Wright tallied seven strikeouts and yielded just one hit over 3.2 scoreless innings Tuesday with Triple-A Gwinnett, but he tossed only 50 pitches in that outing and will need to be stretched out a bit more before becoming an option again for Atlanta's rotation. The 27-year-old right-hander has been on the 60-day injured list since early May because of a shoulder strain.

Chandler was promoted Wednesday from High-A Greensboro to Double-A Altoona, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Chandler earned the level jump after delivering a stellar 1.85 ERA and 43:13 K:BB over his last 43.2 innings (eight starts) with Greensboro. The 20-year-old former two-way player is quickly rounding into a highly promising pitching prospect for the Pirates. He was a third-round pick in the 2021 draft out of high school.

O'Neill is out of the lineup Wednesday at Atlanta.

O'Neill went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a stolen base and two total runs scored in the Cardinals' win over the NL East leaders on Tuesday, but it'll be Lars Nootbaar, Tommy Edman and Jordan Walker starting across the outfield Wednesday versus tough right-hander Spencer Strider. Alec Burleson is filling the DH role.
