Campusano is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Rockies on Wednesday.

Campusano will get a breather after going 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 9-3 loss to Colorado. Fernando Tatis will serve as the Padres' designated hitter Wednesday while Ethan Salas starts behind home plate and bats ninth.

Sale will make his next scheduled start Wednesday against the Reds, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

The veteran southpaw was originally slated to start during the weekend series against the Astros. Instead, Atlanta will go with Tyler Mahle on Friday, Grant Holmes on Saturday and Martin Perez on Sunday, per Jesus Cano of The Athletic. Sale has logged a quality start in each of his last nine outings, posting a 5-3 record with a 2.14 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 73:6 K:BB over 59 innings in that span.

The Rockies reinstated Sullivan (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Sullivan landed on the 15-day injured list in early July due to left shoulder impingement, and he wasn't cleared to embark on a rehab assignment until Sept. 10. There's not enough space for him in the Rockies' rotation, so he'll stick around in Triple-A, where he has a 5.71 ERA and 1.55 WHIP across 58.1 innings.

Goodman (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer noted Tuesday that Goodman is dealing with a thumb injury and is considered day-to-day, Guerilla Sports reports. It's unclear when he was first injured, but Goodman has sat out two straight games and three of the last four contests. Braxton Fulford will start at catcher and will bat eighth for Colorado.

Duran is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Duran's tough season continues as he's slashing just .171/.227/.268 in September, bringing him down to .204/.261/.361 for the year. He's nearly gone 20-20 despite those struggles -- he sits one steal shy of 20 -- but it appears his opportunities against lefties will remain limited down the stretch. Roman Anthony, Nate Eaton and Wilyer Abreu will start across the outfield from left to right Wednesday, while Jahmai Jones serves as the DH against southpaw MacKenzie Gore.

Rumfield is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Padres.

Rumfield is getting a breather after starting each of the last four contests. Troy Johnston is handling first base and will bat sixth for the Rockies.

Baez was removed from Wednesday's game against the Giants after the ninth inning due to left side tightness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Baez popped out in the bottom of the eighth inning and was lifted from the contest before the game went to extras. The Cardinals are considering the outfielder day-to-day for the time being, but it's unclear whether he will be sent for medical imaging. Baez was hitless in four trips to the plate Wednesday before exiting.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Henriquez has a "low-grade" back strain, and the team is "hopeful" the reliever will be back for the postseason, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Henriquez landed on the 15-day injured list Monday and will not be eligible to pitch again before the end of the regular season. However, he's managed to avoid a serious injury and could be ready to help the Dodgers once the playoffs roll around. The hard-throwing reliever has been dynamite out of the Dodgers' bullpen in 2026, posting a 2.85 ERA and 71:25 K:BB over 60 innings.

Alvarez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Orioles.

After starting each of the last three games behind the dish, Alvarez will get some rest during Wednesday's tilt. Luis Torrens will do the catching and bat ninth for the Mets.

Frelick is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's tilt versus the Pirates.

It's the third straight game that the left-handed-swinging Frelick has been out of the lineup, and all three of them have come against righties. Jake Bauers will cover right field, and Andrew Vaughn will be at first base for the Brewers.
