The Pirates optioned Kreidler to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

After being called up from Triple-A a week ago, Kreidler didn't appear in any games during his brief stay in the majors. The Pirates will replace him on the active roster with utility player Ji Hwan Bae, who was recalled from Indianapolis.

The Pirates recalled Bae from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday. He'll start in left field and bat ninth in the Pirates' series finale versus the Brewers.

Pittsburgh optioned Ryan Kreidler to Triple-A to make room on the active roster for another utility type in Bae, who will be back with the Pirates for the first time since mid-May. While spending the majority of the season at Indianapolis, Bae has produced a .282/.377/.411 slash line with one home run and 23 stolen bases across 289 plate appearances.

Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Realmuto started the previous seven games and will receive Sunday off, which will put his modest four-game hit streak on hold, barring an appearance off the bench. Rafael Marchan is stepping in behind the plate for the series finale in Miami.

Cowser is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Cowser will get an extended breather, sitting Sunday ahead of Monday's team day off. Dylan Carlson, Jorge Mateo and Jeremiah Jackson will fill the outfield from left to right Sunday.

Burleson (wrist) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Mariners, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Burleson will make his return to the Cardinals without going out on a rehab assignment beforehand. The 26-year-old slashed .286/.337/.451 with 16 home runs and five stolen bases across 470 plate appearances before being deactivated Aug. 29 due to right wrist inflammation.

The Diamondbacks activated DeSclafani (thumb) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

DeSclafani has been on the shelf since mid-August with right thumb inflammation, and he threw 30 pitches in his most recent bullpen session. The veteran right-hander had made a few trips through the rotation before suffering the injury. Considering the number of pitches he threw in the bullpen session and Nabil Crismatt's recent success, DeSclafani could be moved to the bullpen. However, a six-man rotation remains a possibility. Reliever Bryce Jarvis was optioned to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

Steer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Steer missed a couple games earlier in the week due to a leg injury, and he'll return to the bench having gone 4-for-10 with a double and three walks in his first four games of September. Sal Stewart will step in at first base in the series finale for the Reds.

Gimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Gimenez started the previous 20 games and will receive a day off after posting a .185/.243/.292 slash line during that stretch. Davis Schneider is manning the keystone in Sunday's series finale for Toronto.

The Diamondbacks optioned Jarvis to Triple-A Reno after Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

Jarvis will lose his spot on the active roster as Anthony DeSclafani (thumb) is reinstated from the injured list. Jarvis allowed four runs without recording an out Saturday. He appeared in three games during his latest MLB stint, yielding seven runs across 6.1 innings.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday that Sborz (shoulder) has been shut down for the remainder of the season, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

He'll go the entire 2025 season without pitching in the majors, with Bochy noting that the decision not to activate Sborz from the 60-day injured list stems from the right-hander not being able to consistently reach his expected velocity coming off the shoulder surgery he underwent last November. With a full offseason to rest and ramp up, Sborz should be a full participant at the start of spring training.
