  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Rare day off Wednesday

    Ramirez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

    It seems like a good time for a breather for Ramirez, who is just 4-for-31 with zero extra-base hits so far this month. Liam Hicks will do the catching and Heriberto Hernandez will be the designated hitter for the Marlins.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Receiving afternoon off

    Contreras is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    The Brewers are wrapping up their series in Arlington with a day game after a night game, so manager Pat Murphy likely decided it was an opportune time to give Contreras a much-overdue breather. Danny Jansen will step in behind the plate and Christian Yelich will serve as Milwaukee's designated hitter Wednesday after Contreras had started in every game dating back to June 27.

  • Hunter Goodman RF | COL

    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Clubs 30th homer

    Goodman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.

    Goodman struck out in his first three at-bats but made big contact in the ninth inning to take Kirby Yates deep for the Rockies' second run. This was Goodman's 30th homer of the year, four of which have come over seven games in September. The catcher has added a .282/.327/.540 slash line, 87 RBI, 68 runs scored, 25 doubles and a stolen base through 127 contests. His splits haven't been as extreme as some of his teammates -- Goodman has hit 17 of his homers in road games and has an .842 OPS on the road compared to an .888 OPS at home.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Homers again Tuesday

    Bailey went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Bailey's September surge continues -- he's hit three of his five homers on the year over the course of his last eight games. In that span, he's batting .346 (9-for-26). Bailey has added 32 points to his slugging percentage since closing at a low mark of .286 on Sept. 1, though he still has just a .594 OPS with 46 RBI, 40 runs scored and a stolen base across 119 contests in 2025.

  • Riley Adams C | WAS

    Nationals' Riley Adams: Exits early Tuesday

    Adams exited Tuesday's contest against the Marlins in the bottom of the second inning with an apparent groin injury, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

    Adams took a foul ball off of his inner groin in the second, ultimately requiring him to exit the game. The catcher went hitless in his only at-bat, and he was replaced behind the plate by Jorge Alfaro.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Taking seat Tuesday

    Moreno isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus San Francisco.

    After logging back-to-back multi-hit performances, Moreno will catch a breather Tuesday while James McCann catches for starter Zac Gallen and bats eighth.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Back in lineup

    Smith (hand) will start at catcher and bat fourth Tuesday against the Rockies.

    Smith missed five games after taking a pitch off his right hand last Wednesday, but he'll return behind the dish Tuesday and catch for starter Emmet Sheehan. Smith had gone 4-for-12 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in his previous five games before getting hurt.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Launches homer in loss

    Moreno went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Monday's 11-5 loss to the Giants.

    Moreno has gone 7-for-21 (.333) with three extra-base hits and four RBI over seven games in September. The catcher's blast came in the eighth inning Monday and was too late to help the Diamondbacks get back into the contest. He's up to eight homers, 33 RBI, 40 runs scored, one stolen base and a .283/.337/.448 slash line through 68 games this season, occupying a starting role when healthy.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Lifts fourth homer

    Bailey went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Monday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Bailey's up to four homers on the year, with two of them coming over his last six games. He's driven in six runs in that span as well. The catcher hasn't been able to do much with the bat, compiling a .217/.273/.308 slash line with 45 RBI, 39 runs scored, 15 doubles and three triples while adding one stolen base over 118 contests this season.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Hopeful for Tuesday return

    Manager Dave Roberts stated he's hopeful Smith (hand) will return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Smith isn't in the starting nine for Monday's matchup due to a bruised right hand but it closing in on a return. Assuming he gets the green light to start behind the dish Tuesday, Ben Rortvedt would return to the backup catcher role.
