Fernando Tatis Jr. RF | SD
Padres' Fernando Tatis: Remains out of lineup
Tatis (illness) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Tatis will miss a third straight start as he battles an illness. The Padres have a team off day Thursday, so Tatis could be back in action Friday versus the Diamondbacks. Ramon Laureano will again slide over to right field for the Padres, while Gavin Sheets gets the start in left field.

Jacob Young CF | WAS
Nationals' Jacob Young: Exiting starting nine
Young is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus Atlanta.
Young has been seeing more reps than Robert Hassell in center field lately, but he'll begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Hassell will patrol center field and bat eighth in the series finale.

Dane Myers CF | CIN
Marlins' Dane Myers: Heading to IL with knee laceration
The Marlins will place Myers on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right knee laceration, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Myers suffered the injury when he collided with the chain-link fence in right field at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday in Philadelphia. While Myers managed to avoid a more serious injury, he'll need time for the laceration to heal, so his season is over. Myers will finish with a .235/.291/.326 batting line, six homers and 18 stolen bases over 106 contests.

Oneil Cruz CF | PIT
Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Ends homer drought
Cruz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Reds.
Cruz blasted his 20th home run of the season in the second inning and his first since Aug. 30. He's had a very quiet September to close out a disappointing year, hitting only .192 with eight RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases across 52 at-bats. While Cruz is hitting just .203 overall, he is two stolen bases away from a 20-40 campaign.

Heriberto Hernandez LF | MIA
Marlins' Heriberto Hernandez: Clutch homer in Tuesday's win
Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Phillies.
The 25-year-old rookie took Philly closer Jhoan Duran deep in the ninth inning to tie the game at 3-3, setting the stage for an 11th-inning victory for Miami. Hernandez is to up 10 homers in his first 82 big-league games, including three in the last 10 contests -- a stretch in which he's batting .357 (10-for-28) with a double, a steal, seven RBI and nine runs.

Griffin Conine RF | MIA
Marlins' Griffin Conine: Goes yard in return to lineup
Conine went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Phillies.
Seeing his first game action since Apr. 19 due to shoulder surgery, Conine got the start in left field and batted eighth, and it was his long ball off David Robertson in the eighth inning that got the Marlins on the board and kicked off a rally from a 3-0 deficit. Conine will likely see consistent at-bats over the final week as Miami evaluates how he might fit into their 2026 roster plans, and through 76 plate appearances on the season the second-generation Marlin is slashing .275/.342/.464 with two homers, eight RBI and 12 runs.

Will Benson RF | CIN
Reds' Will Benson: Filling in at left field
Benson started in left field and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Pirates.
Benson made a second consecutive start in left field with Austin Hays (back) unavailable. Hays ran the field Tuesday and reported the back did not respond well to the activity, per MLB.com, which suggests more opportunities for Benson if opponents start a right-hander. That will be the case Wednesday, when Pittsburgh is scheduled to throw Paul Skenes (2.03 ERA).

Austin Hays LF | SD
Reds' Austin Hays: Tests his back
Hays tested his back spasms by running on the field Tuesday and said it was "not great," MLB.com reports.
Hays has missed the last two games after experiencing the back issue Saturday. Will Benson has filled in at left field while Hays is unavailable. Both of those starts were against right-handers.
-
Ronald Acuna Jr. RF | ATL
Braves' Ronald Acuna: Goes deep once again
Acuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.
Acuna hit a towering home run off Brad Lord in the sixth to push Atlanta ahead 2-1. It was Acuna's second straight game with a homer and his fifth over his last 12 games. Acuna's up to 20 home runs in 91 games, though that's only led to 40 runs driven in for the season.

Michael Harris II CF | ATL
Braves' Michael Harris: Homers twice
Harris went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.
Harris posted his third consecutive multi-hit performance while crushing solo home runs in the fifth and seventh innings. That's now seven hits, four extra-base hits and six RBI over his last three games. Harris has caught fire down the stretch, hitting .350 over his last 10 games, and he is now one homer away from setting a new career high with 20.
