  • Braves' Michael Harris: Swipes 12th bag

    Harris went 2-for-4 with a stolen base during Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Reds.

    Harris recorded his fifth multi-hit game over his last 10 games. The 25-year-old stole his 12th base of the season in the seventh inning, trying to rally a comeback for Atlanta. This year, Harris has slashed .291/.319/.488 with 26 homers, 85 RBI and 12 stolen bases over 604 plate appearances.

  • Dane Myers CF | CIN

    Reds' Dane Myers: Launches eighth homer

    Myers went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and a strikeout during Tuesday's 4-0 win over Atlanta.

    Myers stepped to the plate in the sixth inning and blasted his eighth long ball of the season to extend the lead for Cincinnati. That marked his second homer in his last five games. This year, the 30-year-old has slashed .260/.345/.381 with eight homers, 27 RBI and 10 stolen bases over 330 plate appearances.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Exits with injury

    Acuna was removed from Tuesday's game against the Reds after fouling a ball off his left leg, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Acuna immediately went to the ground after hitting himself on the leg and wasn't able to finish his third-inning at-bat, but he managed to walk off the field under his own power. The X-rays on his leg came back negative shortly after his removal, and the team is considering him day-to-day for the time being with a bruised shin. Brewer Hicklen would be the next man up to start in right field if Acuna needs to miss a start or two.

  • Samad Taylor LF | SD

    Padres' Samad Taylor: Getting break Tuesday

    Taylor isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Taylor will get a chance to catch his breath Tuesday after going 10-for-16 with a homer, seven RBI and six runs scored across his last five games. Dustin Harris, Jackson Merrill and Fernando Tatis will start across the outfield while Taylor rests.

  • Kyle Tucker RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Returning to starting lineup Tuesday

    Tucker (knee/shin) is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against San Diego, per Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA.

    After missing Sunday's series finale against the Giants, Tucker will return to the starting nine for Tuesday's series opener with the Padres. The 29-year-old will bat fifth and man right field for the Dodgers.

  • Lane Thomas LF | ATL

    Braves' Lane Thomas: Gets injection, hits off tee

    Thomas (intercostal) took some swings off a tee Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Thomas was diagnosed with a left intercostal strain late last week, but he was cleared to swing a bat shortly after that following a cortisone injection. Atlanta believes Thomas could be ready to return during the early portion of the postseason.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: Excluded from Tusday's lineup

    Young is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Detroit.

    While Young gets a breather, Dylan Crews will slide over to center field Tuesday and will be flanked by Daylen Lile in left field and James Wood in right field. Yohandy Morales will receive a start in the designated-hitter spot.

  • Jake Mangum CF | PIT

    Pirates' Jake Mangum: Not in Pittsburgh lineup

    Mangum is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Cardinals.

    Mangum's playing time has slipped a bit of late, as this will be his third time on the bench over the Pirates' last five contests. Ronny Simon is in right field and will bat seventh for Pittsburgh.

  • Bo Davidson RF | SF

    Giants' Bo Davidson: Logs first big-league hit

    Davidson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

    Davidson made his big-league debut Monday after being called up from Triple-A Sacramento. The 24-year-old outfielder lined a single to right field in the first inning and stole second base before coming around to score. With the Giants plagued by injuries and eliminated from playoff contention, Davidson could see regular reps down the stretch.

  • Drew Gilbert CF | SF

    Giants' Drew Gilbert: Homers in three-hit effort

    Gilbert went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two additional RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

    Gilbert was a major contributor in the victory, lining a two-RBI single in the second inning before smacking a solo homer in the fifth frame. It was a much-needed performance for the young outfielder, as he was slashing just .182/.289/.394 through 15 games in September entering Monday. On the year, Gilbert is hitting .237/.327/.396 with 11 homers, 43 RBI, 52 runs and two stolen bases across 129 contests.
