Pache was designated for assignment by the Mets on Thursday.

Pache appeared in 15 contests with the Mets during the 2026 regular season, going 1-for-8 at the plate with two runs scored. The outfielder spent the majority of the year with Triple-A Syracuse, batting .235 with five home runs, 41 RBI, 43 runs scored and 16 stolen bases over 323 at-bats in 93 contests with the team. Pache was replaced on New York's 40-man roster by infieler Kyren Paris, who the team claimed off waivers from the Angels on Thursday.

Atlanta exercised Acuna's $17 million club option for the 2027 season Thursday.

Acuna has been playing on one of the most team-friendly contracts in baseball since 2019, and although his .255/.345/.451 regular-season slash line was a bit of a step back from 2025, Atlanta has no interest in parting with their franchise superstar early. The 28-year-old missed nearly seven weeks in the middle of the summer due to a hamstring strain and dealt with knee soreness during the postseason, but assuming he comes back fully healthy in 2027, he will remain among the top tier of fantasy performers.

Chourio went 4-for-5 with a double, a stolen base, an RBI and two runs in Game 3 of the World Series against the Rays on Monday.

The 22-year-old provided infrequent but impactful hits early in the playoffs, batting .171 (6-for-35) with two homers and seven RBI in eight games between the division and championship series. Chourio has fully locked in for the World Series, going 8-for-14 with three steals, two RBI and four runs to help give Milwaukee a 3-0 series lead.

Atlanta outrighted Keirsey to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, Harrison Smajovits of SI.com reports.

Keirsey has lost his spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster heading into the winter. The speedy Keirsey will remain in the organization as outfield depth. He's managed a lowly .357 OPS in 107 plate appearances at the big-league level.

Marsee underwent an internal brace procedure on Monday to repair his left elbow UCL, FishOnFirst.com reports.

After playing with some discomfort down the stretch of the regular season, Marsee had his elbow examined before opting for surgery. He is expected to be game-ready in six months, putting his status for Opening Day in question. Marsee put together a .231/.348/.359 batting line with 11 home runs and 23 stolen bases this season for the Marlins.

Marsee will undergo a UCL repair with an internal brace on his left elbow Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Marsee played through elbow soreness down the stretch of the regular season, and surgery was recommended following a visit with Dr. Keith Meister. He is expected to be ready to play in games again in six months, which puts his availability for Opening Day in doubt. Marsee slashed .231/.348/.359 with 11 home runs and 23 stolen bases this season for Miami.

Acuna underwent an MRI on his right knee after Tuesday's NLDS Game 3 loss to the Dodgers, which came back negative, Jesus Cano of The Athletic reports.

Acuna experienced lingering soreness in the knee after tweaking it on a stolen base in Sunday's Game 2 win for Atlanta. He was deployed at designated hitter in Game 3, but Acuna is back in right field for Game 4 after imaging returned clean. Drake Baldwin will slot in at DH on Wednesday, while Sean Murphy will do the catching.

Lara isn't in the lineup for Game 3 of the NLDS against the Padres on Tuesday.

Lara will step out of the starting nine Tuesday to allow the lefty-hitting Sal Frelick start in right field against right-handed starter Nick Pivetta.

Acuna is starting at designated hitter rather than right field in Tuesday's ALDS Game 3 versus the Dodgers due to a sore right knee, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Acuna remains sore after banging up his knee on a slide Sunday in Game 3, so Atlanta will ease the stress on him a bit by inserting him into the DH slot. Lane Thomas will patrol right field for Atlanta. Acuna is 2-for-9 with two runs scored and a stolen base in the first two games of the series.

Yastrzemski is absent from the lineup Tuesday for Game 3 of the NLDS against the Dodgers.

The left-handed-hitting Yastrzemski didn't start the first two games of the series versus lefty hurlers, and he will remain out of the lineup for Game 3 even though righty Yoshinobu Yamamoto is toeing the rubber. Mauricio Dubon will play left field, Ha-Seong Kim will handle shortstop and Sean Murphy is serving as Atlanta's designated hitter.
