Hill (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Previous reports indicated that the right hamstring strain Hill suffered in early September would end his season, but it now appears he's got a shot to be activated from the 10-day injured list before the end of the month. Hill's playing time had fallen off before he got hurt, and if he does make it back before the end of the season, it would likely be in a reserve role.

Laureano went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday in a 7-4 win against the Mets.

Laureano capped the scoring in the contest with a solo shot to left field in the ninth inning. The veteran outfielder had been slumping coming into Wednesday with a .103 batting average (3-for-29) over his previous eight games. Laureano has still been very good overall since joining the Padres at the trade deadline, though, posting an .869 OPS with nine homers, 30 RBI, 24 runs and two stolen bases over 43 games.

Devenski was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

The journeyman reliever carried a 5.92 ERA in 83.2 innings from 2022-24, but Devenski has a 2.30 ERA in 15.2 innings for the Mets this season, in part due to a 5.9% HR/FB and 80.9 LOB%. He should work in low-leverage situations.

Brazoban was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

The 35-year-old righty has a 3.67 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 51:27 K:BB in 56.1 innings across 47 appearances for the Mets this season. Brazoban should work in low-leverage situations during this stint in the majors.

Goodman went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored Wednesday against the Marlins.

Goodman had a quiet road trip through mid-September, going only 3-for-23 across a seven-game span ending Sept. 14. However, he's gotten back on track since returning home, going 4-for-9 with a double and a run scored across two games. Goodman has had an impressive breakout season and is hitting well to close things out, blasting four home runs with 11 RBI and seven runs scored while hitting .321 across 14 games in September.

Alvarez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Padres.

Alvarez started each of the previous five games at catcher, so he'll receive a well-earned day off during Thursday's matinee. Luis Torrens will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Mets.

Garrett was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right elbow sprain.

The move is retroactive to Sept. 15, but it nonetheless means the end of Garrett's regular season. He has logged an 8.25 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 14 strikeouts in 12 innings since the beginning of August.

Manaea was placed on the paternity list Thursday.

Manaea and Clay Holmes had a successful piggyback start Tuesday, with Holmes pitching the first four innings and Manaea logging the final five frames en route to picking up the win. The 6-foot-5 lefty will spend a few days with his family before following the same script with Holmes on Sunday against the Nationals.

Moniak went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Marlins.

Moniak led off the ninth inning with a home run, marking his third straight start with a long ball. He also has nine RBI and four runs scored in that span. Moniak has taken advantage of Coors Field to boost his average, though he still has an impressive .197 ISO across 196 plate appearances on the road.

Civale (4-9) tossed three scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Wednesday's 8-4 victory over the Pirates. He allowed one hit and struck out three.

With starter Matthew Boyd scuffling through three innings, Chicago turned to Civale in long relief, and the veteran earned his first win with his new team since getting claimed off waivers at the end of August. Civale has looked sharp with the Cubs, as he's allowed just one run across eight innings in three appearances, and he's struck out eight batters as well. The righty's fantasy value is capped in his current role, though it looks like he could be a positive addition to Chicago's bullpen down the stretch.
