Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Out of lineup against Crochet
Chisholm is absent from the lineup Tuesday for Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series versus the Red Sox.
The left-handed-hitting Chisholm was an everyday player for the Yankees this season, but with tough southpaw Garrett Crochet on the bump for the Red Sox, Chisholm will yield to Amed Rosario at second base. For what it's worth, Chisholm is 0-for-4 with a 1:3 BB:K in his career versus Crochet.

Darren Baker: Released by Nationals
The Nationals released Baker on Monday.
Baker was outrighted off the 40-man roster earlier this month and is now out of the organization altogether. Per Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Baker asked to be released in order to pursue an opportunity elsewhere, and that request was granted. Baker slashed .256/.343/.318 with one homer and 26 steals in 107 games with Triple-A Rochester in 2025.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Cleared for wild-card series
Manager Aaron Boone said that Chisholm (forearm) will be available Tuesday for Game 1 of the Yankees' wild-card series with the Red Sox, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Though he didn't start in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Orioles after being plunked in the left forearm by a pitch a day earlier, Chisholm was deployed off the bench in the regular-season finale, going 0-for-1 with a strikeout while also playing the final two innings at second base. Chisholm has apparently checked out fine following that contest and will be good to go as the Yankees begin their playoff run. With a tough lefty (Garrett Crochet) on the mound for Boston on Tuesday, however, it wouldn't be surprising if the left-handed-hitting Chisholm was held out of the lineup in favor of Amed Rosario, who has gone 6-for-9 against Crochet in his career.

Even with that strong finish, it's been a rough year for the utility man, who battled multiple injuries and struggled when on the field, slashing .244/.268/.313 with nine doubles, three homers and 20 RBI across 77 games.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Pops homer Sunday

Over his last 10 games, Marte went 15-for-43 (.349) with three homers and seven RBI to enjoy a strong finish to the season. He ended up with a .283/.376/.517 slash line, 28 homers, 72 RBI, 87 runs scored, four stolen bases and 28 doubles across 126 contests overall. He has finished with an OPS over .800 in four of the last five seasons.

With the home run, Kim snapped a 49-game stretch dating back to May 31 without a round tripper. The 26-year-old concludes his first season with a .281/.315/.388 slash line, 13 steals, 19 runs scored and 17 RBI in 169 total plate appearances.
