  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Officially placed on injured list

    The Rangers placed Eovaldi (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Sunday.

    Eovaldi is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign due to a rotator cuff strain, cutting short what had been a phenomenal season with a 1.73 ERA and 0.85 WHIP through 130 innings (22 starts). Caleb Boushley will join the Rangers' bullpen and take Eovaldi's place on the active roster; meanwhile, Jacob Latz will claim the fifth spot in the rotation.

  • Nabil Crismatt RP | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nabil Crismatt: Slated for start

    Crismatt is listed as the Diamondbacks' starting pitcher for Thursday's game against the Brewers in Milwaukee, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Crismatt will make his third straight turn through the rotation Thursday and his second as a traditional starter, after the Diamondbacks previously used him as a bulk reliever behind Jalen Beeks his last time out in Saturday's win over the Reds. Through his first two outings with Arizona upon being called up from Triple-A Reno, Crismatt has covered covered nine innings and has struck out nine batters while giving up one earned run on seven hits and four walks.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Marte isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    After logging a hit, driving in a run and scoring a run in each of the first two games of the series, Marte will grab a seat on the bench to begin the penultimate contest of Arizona's four-game set in Milwaukee. Ildemaro Vargas will take over at second base and bat ninth.

  • Astros' Victor Caratini: Enters concussion protocol

    Caratini is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies and is being evaluated for a concussion, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    The veteran catcher has taken a couple foul balls off his mask recently and is now in danger of landing on the injured list. Cesar Salazar is starting behind the plate Wednesday and will operate as the backup to Yainer Diaz (hand) while Caratini is unavailable.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Idle Wednesday

    Moreno isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Moreno has gone 6-for-16 with two homers, seven RBI and four runs scored in four games since returning from the injured list. He'll get a chance to rest his legs Wednesday while James McCann catches for starter Ryne Nelson and bats sixth.

  • Brady Basso RP | ATH

    Athletics' Brady Basso: Headed to majors

    The Athletics recalled Basso from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

    With Joey Estes (back) headed to the injured list, Basso will come up from Triple-A to round out the Athletics' pitching staff. The 27-year-old has worked primarily as a starter throughout his career but has transitioned into a relief role since returning from a shoulder injury that kept him on the shelf until Aug. 11. Now back in the bigs, he'll presumably continue to work in middle relief.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Battling hand issue

    Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies due to a hand injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    The 25-year-old was withheld from the lineup for Tuesday's contest and will sit for a second straight game due to the injury. With Diaz down and Victor Caratini in the concussion protocol, Cesar Salazar was promoted from Triple-A Sugar Land and will get the start behind the plate Wednesday.

  • Tyrone Taylor LF | CHC

    Mets' Tyrone Taylor: Back on bench with righty starting

    Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    With eight hits and a 3:1 BB:K over the last six games, Taylor has been one of the Mets' more productive hitters of late, but he still appears to be relegated to the short side of a center-field platoon. He had been included in the lineup in five of the previous six games, but four of those starts came against lefties. As anticipated, Taylor will be back on the bench Wednesday while Taijuan Walker toes the rubber for the Phillies.

  • Joey Estes SP | ATH

    Athletics' Joey Estes: Lands on 15-day IL

    The Athletics placed Estes on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Monday, with a herniated disc in his lower back.

    Estes performed well Sunday during his return to the majors, firing four shutout innings while allowing one hit and striking out one batter. He'll now be forced to sit out until at least Sept. 9, however, and the A's will call up Brady Basso from Triple-A to fill the opening on the active roster.

  • Mets' Cedric Mullins: Idle against right-hander

    Mullins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    The Mets are going up against a right-hander (Taijuan Walker) for the series finale, but the left-handed-hitting Mullins will nonetheless remain on the bench after he was held out of the lineup against lefty starters Monday and Tuesday. Jeff McNeil will get the nod in center field in place of Mullins.
