Holmes did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's win against San Diego. He allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two over four innings.

Holmes was relieved by Sean Manaea in the fifth inning in what was a scheduled move by the Mets to benefit both veteran arms. The only two runs against Holmes came via solo homers by Jackson Merrill and Jake Cronenworth in the second and third innings. Holmes threw a season-low 53 pitches Tuesday, as he continues to show signs of fatigue in his first year as a full-time MLB starter. He posted a 2.99 ERA through his first 17 starts but has since produced a 4.96 ERA over his last 13 outings. That's resulted in a 3.77 season ERA with a 124:63 K:BB over 155 innings. Holmes is currently slated for a home matchup with Washington this weekend.

Lindor went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win against the Padres.

Lindor singled and scored a run in the first inning before ripping a home run in the second. It was his 27th long ball of the year and snapped a 14-game homerless drought. Lindor has gone deep just twice over his last 24 contests but still has a shot at his third straight 30-homer campaign. He's now slashing .265/.340/.454 with 60 extra-base hits and 105 runs scored through 149 games.

Alvarez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres after getting hit on the elbow by a pitch, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

Alvarez was in a considerable amount of pain after taking a 100-mph sinker from Bradgley Rodriguez off his elbow in the eighth inning and was immediately replaced by a pinch runner. If Alvarez needs to miss any time, Hayden Senger would be forcing to take on starting duties with Luis Torrens (forearm) already on the shelf.

The Dodgers optioned Robinson to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Robinson joined the big club Saturday when Will Smith (hand) landed on the IL, but his services are no longer needed now that Dalton Rushing (shin) is healthy. Robinson will likely finish the year at Triple-A, where he's slashed .261/.330/.368 with 46 RBI and 41 runs scored through 75 games.

The Dodgers reinstated Rushing (shin) from the injured list Tuesday.

A bone bruise in Rushing's right shin caused him to move to the injured list Sept. 6, but he'll return to the active roster following a minimum-length stay. Los Angeles will deploy Ben Rortvedt behind the dish Tuesday against the Phillies, but with Will Smith (hand) set to remain sidelined until at least Saturday, Rushing could make a handful of starts this week.

Volpe (shoulder) is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday against the Twins.

The 24-year-old shortstop will return to the starting nine for the first time since Sept. 9. Volpe has been dealing with a partially torn left labrum since May, but he received a cortisone injection last week and has improved enough to re-enter the lineup. The 2025 campaign has mostly been a struggle for Volpe, who has a .661 OPS while taking a step back defensively with minus-9 OAA and plus-1 DRS, which are significant drops from the plus-14 OAA and plus-6 DRS he posted during the 2024 regular season. Volpe and Jose Caballero are likely to split reps at shortstop to close out the season.

Realmuto isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Realmuto will retreat to the bench Tuesday after going 0-for-4 with a sacrifice fly in Monday's win. His absence will put Rafael Marchan behind the plate and in the ninth spot of Philadelphia's lineup.

The Phillies designated Hicklen for assignment Tuesday.

The Phillies selected Rafael Lantigua to the active roster Tuesday to make up for the loss of Edmundo Sosa (groin), which pushed Hicklen off the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old has spent the majority of the season as organizational depth at Triple-A, slashing .224/.319/.409 across 386 plate appearances.

The Phillies placed Sosa on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Saturday, with a right groin strain.

The Phillies were hoping Sosa would be able to return to the starting lineup Tuesday after missing three straight games with a groin injury. Instead, he'll end up spending at least another week on the sidelines. Rafael Lantigua was promoted from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to provide infield depth.

Lantigua had his contract selected from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Lantigua will join the major-league roster after batting .233 with seven home runs, 57 RBI, 82 runs scored and 17 stolen bases over 124 contests with Lehigh Valley this year. He'll replace Edmundo Sosa (groin), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, while Brewer Hicklen was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.
