Texas placed Pederson (hand) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Sept. 19.

The veteran left-handed-hitting Pederson will head to the 10-day IL, effectively ending his regular season. Pederson has not played since Sept. 12 because of soreness in his fractured left hand. If the 34-year-old indeed misses the remainder of the regular season, he will end his 2026 campaign holding a slash line of .235/.329/.487 with 26 homers and 53 RBI over 431 plate appearances. Pederson could return for the playoffs is Texas is able to qualify.

Snell (groin) felt good after throwing a bullpen session Tuesday and complete another one soon, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Snell is aiming to make another start before the conclusion of the regular season Sunday, as he would otherwise be in store for an extended layoff if the Dodgers were to clinch a first-round bye in the postseason. The southpaw has been dealing with left groin tightness that cropped up in his most recent start Wednesday in Cincinnati, when he exited after just one inning.

Alvarez is starting at DH for Tuesday's matchup against Texas, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

After recording back-to-back multi-hit games against the Phillies, Alvarez will slot in as designated hitter for Tuesday's series opener against the Rangers. Luis Torrens will catch and bat ninth for the Mets while Alvarez bats seventh.

Taylor isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Taylor will get a chance to catch his breath Tuesday after going 10-for-16 with a homer, seven RBI and six runs scored across his last five games. Dustin Harris, Jackson Merrill and Fernando Tatis will start across the outfield while Taylor rests.

The Giants recalled Roxby from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Roxby appeared in four games in Triple-A after he was optioned back there Sept. 7. He allowed one earned on a home run with seven strikeouts across 7.1 innings. The righty returns to the majors as a corresponding move to Blade Tidwell landing on the 15-day injured list due to a UCL sprain.

Varsho is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Mariners, per Chandler Rome of The Athletic.

For the second straight game, Varsho will exit the starting nine. The Astros will send out Brice Matthews to center field, and he will bat ninth against Logan Gilbert on Tuesday.

The Giants placed Tidwell on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a high-grade UCL sprain, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Tidwell made an early exit from what will be his final start of 2026 on Monday after injuring his elbow. He is still in the process of exploring all of his options, but there is a chance the 25-year-old righty undergoes Tommy John surgery, which would almost certainly rule him out for the entire 2027 campaign as well. Braxton Roxby was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Roupp has been shut down for the remainder of the 2026 season, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Roupp revealed Tuesday that his season is done after having blown by his previous career high in innings. His innings count in 2025 was 106.2, and he was able to up that to 155 in 2026. The right-hander is feeling fine, but he doesn't want to push it with the Giants' season about wrapped up. The 28-year-old's last appearance of the year was Sept. 14 against the Cardinals, when he took the loss after giving up two runs across 4.1 innings.

Stewart will serve as the opening pitcher during Tuesday's game against the Padres, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Stewart will be making his first start in the big leagues since 2018 as the Dodgers lean on their bullpen to make it through Tuesday's series opener. The 34-year-old has been less effective than usual in September, allowing four runs (three earned) while striking out five batters and walking one over 5.2 innings.

Klein (elbow) threw live batting practice Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Klein is on the 60-day injured list and won't be able to come back from the injured list before the regular season ends. However, his return to facing hitters is an encouraging sign that he may be activated when eligible Sept. 30 to contribute toward the Dodgers' pursuit of a third consecutive World Series title.
