The Yankees placed Chisholm on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right thumb sprain.

Chisholm was injured Tuesday on a slide into second base. He will be shut down from all baseball activities for 7-to-10 days before being re-evaluated, and the Yankees could know by that point whether he has a chance to make it back before the end of the regular season. Anthony Volpe has taken Chisholm's roster spot and could share second base with Jose Caballero while Chisholm is shelved.

Ruiz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Padres.

The switch-hitting backstop took Walker Buehler deep to lead off the third inning and open the scoring, but the game quickly got away from the Nationals in an eventual 9-2 loss. Ruiz has been in a timeshare with Harry Ford since late August but has been by far the more productive hitter in that time -- over his last 10 games, Ruiz is batting .344 (11-for-32) with two of his 10 homers on the season.

Early (elbow) is tentatively slated to make a rehab start for Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

The southpaw threw 30 pitches in a bridge league game Tuesday, so he could be ready to handle around 40-to-50 during his upcoming appearance with Harrisburg. Early has yet to make his Nationals debut after being acquired from the Red Sox in July, but he may be able to join the big-league club before the end of the season if all goes well Sunday. Over 17 starts for Boston prior to being shut down with elbow inflammation, Early delivered a 3.44 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 93:34 K:BB through 91.2 innings.

Ewing went 3-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Marlins.

The rookie outfielder was one of three Mets to collect three hits in a 15-run, 15-hit outburst from the offense. Ewing has hit safely in six straight games, batting .478 (11-for-23) during that blistering stretch with two doubles, a homer, a steal, six runs and seven RBI. His 23 stolen bases on the season puts him one back of Mookie Wilson's 1981 campaign for the franchise rookie record in that category, but teammate Carson Benge is also in the hunt for the record with 22 steals.

Torrens went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and four RBI in Wednesday's win over the Marlins.

The 30-year-old backstop was one of three Mets to collect three hits in a 15-run, 15-hit outburst from the offense. Torrens had gone just 3-for-22 (.136) over his prior nine games, and on the season he sports a .240/.303/.399 slash line in 85 contests with eight homers and 37 RBI as the backup to Francisco Alvarez.

Thomas was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rays due to left side tightness, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Thomas had been slated to receive a rare start in left field, but now his status moving forward is up in the air. Dominic Smith will enter the lineup at designated hitter, and Brewer Hicklen will shift from DH to left field for Atlanta.

Santucci allowed one run on five hits over five innings for Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday. He struck out six without walking a batter.

The 23-year-old southpaw initially struggled upon his promotion to Triple-A at the beginning of August, but over his last three starts, Santucci has a 3.00 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB over 15 innings. A second-round pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Santucci isn't on the 40-man roster and won't need to be protected from the Rule 5 draft this winter, so the Mets have little incentive to bring him up to the majors before the end of the season. A strong finish at Syracuse would position him to compete for a spot in the big-league rotation next spring, however.

Pauley went 3-for-6 with a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

Seven different Marlins hitters recorded multiple hits en route to a 20-hit, 14-run eruption from the offense, and it wasn't enough as the pitching staff coughed up 15 runs. Pauley has taken over the strong side of a platoon in September, batting .286 (6-for-21) over his last seven games with a triple, two homers, five runs and nine RBI. If he keeps producing at the plate, he could hang onto the job even when Xavier Edwards (thumb) is cleared to return and Javier Sanoja isn't needed at second base.

Conine went 3-for-6 with a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

Seven different Marlins hitters recorded multiple hits en route to a 20-hit, 14-run eruption from the offense, and it wasn't enough as the pitching staff coughed up 15 runs. Conine has cooled down significantly since his August power surge, and over his last 19 games he's sagged to a .194/.324/.258 slash line with one home run, six RBI and a 28.4 percent strikeout rate.

The Nationals recalled Pinckney from Triple-A Rochester on Thursday.

He'll absorb the roster spot vacated by Nasim Nunez (bereavement). Pinckney has held his own during his time in the big leagues this season, going 6-for-22 with one home run and one stolen bases. He'll likely return to Rochester next week when Nunez rejoins the active roster.
