Baty was diagnosed with left knee pain following his removal from Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Baty sustained the injury on an RBI single in the second inning, prompting his removal from the game after being briefly evaluated by a trainer. The Mets are off Thursday, and follow-up tests will determine whether Baty will be cleared to play in Friday's series opener against the Yankees.

Baty was removed from Wednesday's game against the Marlins due to an apparent knee injury.

Baty appeared to tweak his knee on an RBI single in the second inning. He was removed from the game and replaced by Christopher Morel at first base, and the Mets should have an update on Baty's status during or shortly after Wednesday's contest once he's evaluated further.

Bohm is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Bohm will get a day off as the Phillies take on Astros righty Hunter Brown. Kyle Schwarber is grabbing a start at first base for Philadelphia.

Vivas is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Diego.

The left-handed-swinging Vivas typically starts against right-handers, but he will begin Wednesday's game on the bench while the Padres send veteran righty Walker Buehler to the hill. CJ Abrams is handling second base for the Nationals on Wednesday.

House is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego.

House will receive a day of rest after starting each of the previous five contests at third base. Andres Chaparro will cover the hot corner and will bat third as the Nationals look to avoid their seventh consecutive loss.

Baty went 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly and a solo home run during the Mets' 7-5 win over the Marlins on Tuesday.

Baty was responsible for two of the seven runs the Mets scored against Sandy Alcantara, with Baty smacking a solo homer in the third inning before bringing Jacob Young home on a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Baty has driven in at least one run in four of his last five games, going 5-for-13 with three doubles, two home runs, nine RBI and three runs scored in that span.

The Cardinals optioned Prieto to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Prieto appeared in just two games after being recalled Aug. 30. The 27-year-old will head back to Triple-A, where he has slashed 308/.367/.505 with 12 homers and 43 RBI in 335 plate appearances, as Masyn Winn (thumb) comes off the IL.

Pauley went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Monday's loss to the Mets.

Pauley belted his third homer of the season Monday. Until Xavier Edwards (thumb) returns from the injured list, Pauley has a clearer pathway to action in the infield. He's batting .195 with 13 extra-base hits, 21 RBI, eight walks and 13 runs scored over 123 at-bats on the year.

Hernandez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

Hernandez will hit the bench after he had picked up starts at either third or first base in each of the last four games while going 1-for-10 with a walk and two runs. Three of those starts came against left-handed pitching, as the Dodgers have deployed Hernandez primarily as a short-side platoon player.

The Reds activated Hayes (groin) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Hayes has been out for almost two weeks with a left groin strain, but he'll skip a rehab assignment and go right back onto the active roster. He will start at third base and will bat ninth in Monday's game against the Dodgers.
