  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Out again with thumb issue

    Goodman (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

    Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer noted Tuesday that Goodman is dealing with a thumb injury and is considered day-to-day, Guerilla Sports reports. It's unclear when he was first injured, but Goodman has sat out two straight games and three of the last four contests. Braxton Fulford will start at catcher and will bat eighth for Colorado.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Not starting Wednesday

    Alvarez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Orioles.

    After starting each of the last three games behind the dish, Alvarez will get some rest during Wednesday's tilt. Luis Torrens will do the catching and bat ninth for the Mets.

  • Pirates' Rafael Flores: Four hits in Tuesday's loss

    Flores went 4-for-4 in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Brewers.

    All four knocks were singles, but it was still an impressive way for Flores to extend his hitting streak to nine games. During that span, the 25-year-old catcher is batting .441 (15-for-34) with a double and a homer but just two runs and two RBI as the Pittsburgh offense as a whole has struggled over the final weeks of the season -- Tuesday marked the sixth time in 13 September contests that the Pirates scored two runs or fewer.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Big game in loss

    Moreno went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 extra-innings loss to the Marlins.

    Moreno did a bit of everything in this contest, including catching all 11 innings. He has gone 15-for-43 (.349) with three homers over his last 11 contests. The catcher is batting .303 with an .856 OPS, 14 homers, 74 RBI, 64 runs scored, six steals, 31 doubles and one triple across a career-high 121 contests.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Belts homer in loss

    Campusano went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Rockies.

    Campusano is up to eight homers on the year, including three over his last 11 games. The catcher went yard in the second inning of Tuesday's contest to give the Padres an early 2-0 lead. Overall, Campusano has maintained a .273 average and .823 OPS with 29 RBI, 22 runs scored, 12 doubles and no stolen bases across 228 plate appearances this season.

  • Joe Mack C | MIA

    Marlins' Joe Mack: Taking seat Tuesday

    Mack isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona

    Mack has notched a base hit and scored a run in back-to-back games, but the Marlins will have him begin Tuesday's contest on the bench while starting Agustin Ramirez behind the plate.

  • Carson Kelly C | CHC

    Cubs' Carson Kelly: Getting breather Tuesday

    Kelly isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

    Kelly will retreat to the bench to begin Tuesday's affair after going 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored Monday. Miguel Amaya will handle catching duties and bat ninth.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Idle Tuesday

    Goodman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

    Goodman will move to the bench for the second time in three games despite going 2-for-3 with a pair of extra-base hits and a walk during Monday's series opener. Brett Sullivan will take over at catcher and bat eighth.

  • Rockies' Braxton Fulford: Returns to majors

    The Rockies recalled Fulford from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

    After being optioned back to Albuquerque on Aug. 25, Fulford went 10-for-49 with three home runs and three stolen bases across 13 games. In a corresponding move Tuesday, the Rockies optioned Vimael Machin to Triple-A.

  • Harry Ford C | WAS

    Nationals' Harry Ford: Back in action Tuesday

    Ford (hand/wrist) is starting behind the plate and batting seventh Tuesday against the Phillies.

    The 23-year-old is making his first start since Friday, when he departed early due to pain in his left hand/wrist. Ford now appears to be fully recovered and will look to bust out of a 1-for-13 slump.
