Aranda isn't in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Aranda will get a chance to rest during the latter half of Tuesday's festivities after going 1-for-3 with a strikeout in Game 1. Ryan Vilade will fill in as the Rays' first baseman and bat second.

Hayes is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Hayes started the previous two games and will hit the bench for Tuesday's contest while in the midst of a 1-for-18 slump. Eugenio Suarez will step in at third base while Dane Myers starts in the outfield, pushing Hector Rodriguez to the DH spot.

The Astros returned Burrows (elbow/shoulder) from his rehab assignment Monday.

Burrows landed on the injured list in mid-July with right elbow inflammation, and he suffered a setback with his shoulder at the beginning of September that has extended his stint on the IL. He was cleared to restart his rehab assignment Saturday and pitched two shutout innings, but the fact that the Astros have again halted his assignment without activating him doesn't bode well for his chances of returning in the regular season.

The Athletics transferred Ginn (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

In a pair of corresponding moves Tuesday, the Athletics reinstated Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) from the 60-day injured list and placed Max Muncy (knee) on the 10-day injured list. Ginn faced the possibility of returning at the end of the 2026 season, but he was behind schedule in his recovery program, which inevitably led to his season concluding early. The starting pitcher landed on the 15-day injured list at the beginning of September due to a right elbow impingement.

The Athletics reinstated Kuroda-Grauer (groin) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Kuroda-Grauer had been out since suffering a testicular contusion July 20 against the Diamondbacks. He got surgery to address the testicle that was ruptured and was able to start rehab in the middle of August. As the young prospect returns to action Tuesday, the Athletics placed Max Muncy (knee) on the 10-day injured list and transferred J.T. Ginn (elbow) to the 60-injured list in corresponding moves.

Pederson (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

According to Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, the veteran slugger hit off a tee Tuesday afternoon and is scheduled to do so again pregame. Pederson continues to deal with soreness in his fractured left hand and has some more hurdles to clear before returning to game action. He likely would have been on the bench Tuesday regardless of the injury since lefty Sean Manaea is starting for New York.

Manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that the Cubs will not place Bregman (face) on the injured list, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Bregman suffered multiple facial fractures after getting struck by a foul ball while in the on-deck circle Sunday. Though it remains unknown how far away he is from returning, the Cubs say that they are taking a day-by-day approach with the veteran third baseman and haven't ruled him out of returning before the end of the regular season. In the meantime, Pedro Ramirez is expected to receive the bulk of starts at third base.

The Athletics placed Muncy on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to left knee chondromalacia.

Muncy's 2026 season has come to a close with him landing on the 10-day injured list. He finished the year with a .230/.296/.387 slash line and nine home runs across 284 plate appearances in 82 games. In corresponding moves Tuesday, the Athletics reinstated Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) from the 60-day injured list and transferred J.T. Ginn (elbow) to the 60-day injured list.

Edwards (thumb) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Edwards will miss a second straight start due to a thumb injury that he picked up during Saturday's game against the Padres. While he recovers, Jared Serna will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

The Rangers optioned Macko to the club's Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday.

The left-hander was called up by Texas over the weekend and will return to the minors after firing 2.1 scoreless frames Sunday against the Blue Jays. Macko won't be eligible to be recalled by the Rangers before the end of the regular season unless the corresponding transaction is injury related.
