Myers was removed from Tuesday's game against the Phillies with a right knee laceration, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Myers collided with the right-field wall while attempting to make a catch in the second inning and came down awkwardly on his right leg. He exited the game on a cart, and although the Marlins have yet to provide information on the severity of his injury, early indications don't seem promising for the 29-year-old.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that Seager (abdomen) will miss the rest of the season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Seager recently resumed light baseball activities after undergoing an appendectomy in late August, but the team won't bother rushing him back now that they sit five games back of a wild-card spot with only six left to play. Despite missing time this year with hamstring injuries in addition to his recent procedure, the 31-year-old slashed .271/.373/.487 while collecting 21 home runs, 50 RBI, 61 runs and three stolen bases across 102 games.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that Semien (foot) will not play again this season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Semien resumed taking live BP and running Friday, but with the Rangers five games out of a wild-card spot with six to play, the team will pull the plug on its efforts to get the veteran infielder back in the lineup this year. He'll close the book on 2025 with a career-low .669 OPS alongside 15 homers, 62 RBI, 62 runs scored and 11 steals through 127 games. Cody Freeman projects to be the Rangers' primary second baseman for the remainder of the regular season.

Merrill is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

Merrill will get his first day off since Sept. 1 after he went 2-for-5 with two strikeouts in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings win. Bryce Johnson will start in center field and bat seventh versus Milwaukee.

Cronenworth is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus Milwaukee.

Cronenworth will get a breather after going 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Brewers. Mason McCoy will take over at second base and bat ninth in his place.

Woo (pectoral) won't start in his usual rotation spot Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

General manager Justin Hollander said Tuesday that the team still doesn't plan to place Woo on the injured list, and that the right-hander will instead play catch Wednesday or Thursday rather than start a game against the Rockies. A better idea of how far away the 25-year-old is from returning will likely emerge after his throwing session.

Machado is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

Machado will take a seat for just the second time this season as the Padres go to battle with Milwaukee. The Padres clinched a playoff berth by winning Monday's series opener 5-4 in 11 innings, so it makes sense to give Machado a little extra rest. Jose Iglesias will draw the start at third base and bat sixth in his place.

The Padres optioned Wagner to the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday.

Wagner was optioned to create space on the active roster for Xander Bogaerts's (foot) reinstation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Wagner was recalled Aug. 24 to fill in for Jackson Merrill, who had an ankle injury at the time. Since then, Wagner got just 13 plate appearances in the 13 games he played in and reached base twice.

Tatis (illness) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

Tatis has been battling a series of illnesses, including influenza and COVID-19, and he'll remain sidelined Tuesday. Ramon Laureano will draw the start in right field and bat fourth versus Milwaukee.

The Padres activated Bogaerts (foot) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

In a corresponding move Tuesday, the Padres optioned Will Wagner to the Arizona Complex League. It was initially thought Bogaerts would return during this past weekend or Monday, but he had delays regarding his pregame workouts for his fractured foot. The shortstop is batting second Tuesday at home versus the Brewers, who are sending lefty Bruce Zimmermann to the mound.
