Reynolds is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Cardinals.

It's the first day off since June 19 for Reynolds, who is just 5-for-40 (.167) at the plate over his last eight games. Jake Mangum will grab a start in left field while Reynolds rests.

Duran went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Guardians.

Duran singled to lead off the bottom of the sixth inning and scored the game's lone run. He later singled and stole second base in the eighth, giving the Red Sox a chance to bring in an insurance run. The steal was the 20th of the season for Duran, who has stolen as least 20 bags in four straight seasons. He also joined the 20-homer/20-steal club for the second time in his career. While his .207 batting average has been a drag, Duran's provided legit fantasy value.

Jensen went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.

Jensen collected a trio of singles, marking his fifth game of the season with three-plus hits. The young catcher is ending the regular season on a high note, hitting .338/.416/.750 with six homers, 15 RBI and 16 runs in 18 September contests. Overall, Jensen is slashing .237/.323/.454 with 25 homers, 76 RBI, 77 runs and two stolen bases across 146 games.

Latz (3-4) took the loss after allowing one run on a hit and a walk while striking out two over 1.2 innings in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Mets.

Latz entered the game in the seventh inning, his earliest appearance since April 12, with two runners aboard and one out, and he escaped without allowing either runner to score. He returned for the eighth with the game tied 2-2, but Marcus Semien launched a two-out solo homer to left-center to put New York ahead for good. Latz now has 2.15 ERA on the season, but he's given up homers in two of his last three outings.

Bradford didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Mets after allowing two runs on four hits while striking out one over 4.1 innings.

Bradford kept New York scoreless through two innings before Francisco Lindor singled with two outs in the third and Juan Soto followed with a two-run homer to right-center. Those were the only runs charged to Bradford, who didn't issue a walk and departed with one out in the fifth. Texas erased the 2-0 deficit later that inning, taking Bradford off the hook for the loss. Bradford has made nine appearances (eight starts) this season and owns a 4.19 ERA with a 21:10 K:BB in 43 innings.

Carroll went 1-for-4 with a triple and two RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Colorado.

Carroll finished off the scoring in a four-run first inning with a two-out, two-run triple. It turned out to be the game-winning knock. The triple was his league-leading 17th of the season and tied a career-best mark set in 2025. He's provided some key hits as the Diamondbacks chase a postseason berth; Carroll has two doubles, one triple, three home runs and 14 RBI over his last 11 contests.

The Twins outrighted Jackson to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

Jackson passed through waivers unclaimed again after being booted off the Twins' 40-man roster. He has the ability to elect free agency, but doing so would mean forfeiting what remains on his $1.35 million salary for 2026.

McLean earned the win Wednesday against the Rangers after allowing two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings.

McLean allowed just one hit in the first four innings before the Rangers scored twice in the fifth. However, McLean responded by retiring Texas in order in both the sixth and seventh, keeping the game level until Marcus Semien's go-ahead homer in the eighth. The 2026 season was a disaster for the Mets, and while McLean also endured some struggles here and there, he ended the year on a strong note. He allowed two or fewer runs in seven of his final eight starts, posting a 2.20 ERA with a 38:22 K:BB across 49 innings over that span. On the season, McLean went 12-10 with a 3.16 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 31 starts and 179.2 frames.

Tawa started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

After erupting for four runs in the first inning, Arizona's bats went silent until Tawa led off the top of the eighth inning with a solo home run. It was the 11th of the season for the versatile Tawa, who has started six consecutive games, slotting in at center field four times with one start each in left field and at first base.

Adams (0-2) took the loss after allowing four unearned runs on five hits while striking out eight over six innings in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Adams' final line was heavily influenced by Zac Veen's first-inning error, as Arizona capitalized with four unearned runs before the right-hander settled into an impressive rhythm. He retired 13 consecutive batters after Corbin Carroll's two-run triple in the first inning and didn't issue a walk over six innings, marking the first time this season he didn't issue a free pass. The eight strikeouts were a season-high output for Adams, who ends the season on a decent note despite the loss. In six starts in 2026, he went 0-2 with a 4.03 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB across 29 innings.
