Rodden isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Houston.

Rodden will take a seat Wednesday after failing to record a hit in each of his last 10 at-bats -- seven of which ended in a strikeout. Weston Wilson will fill in at third base and bat ninth.

Davidson was removed from Wednesday's game against the Twins with a foot injury, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Davidson remained in the game for a while after fouling a ball off his foot in the sixth inning, but he was eventually replaced in the outfield when the Giants' defense took the field in the ninth. X-rays on his foot came back negative shortly after the game, per Pavlovic, but Scott Bandura and Grant McCray could be candidates to start in right field if Davidson is unable to play in Friday's series opener against the Dodgers.

The Dodgers optioned Hurt to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Noah Camras of SI.com reports.

Hurt pitched two shutout innings during his appearance Tuesday against the Padres but will now be sent back to the minors to make room for Tarik Skubal, who returned from the bereavement list Wednesday. Assuming Hurt has thrown is last pitch in the majors this season, he'll close out 2026 with a 4.14 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and a 58:23 K:BB over 45.2 innings.

The Dodgers reinstated Skubal from the bereavement list Wednesday, Noah Camras of SI.com reports.

After spending the past three days away from the team tending to personal matters, Skubal will rejoin the Dodgers a couple of days in advance of his final regular-season start Friday in San Francisco. Kyle Hurt was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The Dodgers optioned De Paula to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Noah Camras of SI.com reports.

De Paula dazzled during his first 11 games in the majors, slashing .323/.500/.581 with a home run, seven RBI, seven runs scored, a steal and an 11:5 BB:K across 42 plate appearances. However, with Shohei Ohtani (knee/biceps) returning from the injured list Wednesday, there is no room for the Dodgers' top prospect to get regular at-bats with the big club. That being said, De Paula could still be in play to contribute during Los Angeles' postseason run.

The Dodgers reinstated Ohtani (knee/biceps) from the injured list Wednesday, Noah Camras of SI.com reports.

After taking a couple of weeks off to recover from knee and biceps injuries that have bothered him for much of the second half, Ohtani will return to the active roster in time to play out the Dodgers' final five regular-season contests. The two-way star will only be contributing as a hitter, however, as he isn't expected to make an appearance on the mound for the rest of the year. Josue De Paula was sent down to the minors in a corresponding move.

The Rangers optioned Santos to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Wednesday.

Winston was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday but did not make an appearance during his latest stint in the majors. The 24-year-old righty made his big-league debut July 1, allowing two runs over two innings in Cleveland, but that will go down as his lone outing with Texas this season barring a return as an injury replacement in the final days of the campaign.

The Rangers recalled Collyer from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday,

Collyer replaces Winston Santos in the Texas bullpen after spending the past two-plus months in the minor leagues. The right-handed Collyer made 23 relief appearances with the big club from mid-April to mid-July, posting a 5.09 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 22:19 K:BB in 23 innings.

Heim isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Heim will move to the bench Wednesday after going 0-for-4 during Tuesday's affair. Brian Serven will replace him as the Athletics' backstop and bat ninth.

Springer is not in the starting lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

Toronto was eliminated from postseason contention with a loss in the first game of the day, so naturally veterans Springer and Vladimir Guerrero are sitting for the nightcap. Springer is closing out a disappointing age-36 season after a resurgent 2025.
