Scott isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus Seattle.

Scott will receive a day to regroup after going 0-for-7 with three strikeouts across the first two games of the series. Nathan Church will replace him in center field while batting ninth.

The Dodgers optioned Dean to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Since coming up from the minors Aug. 8, Dean has logged just two plate appearances with the Dodgers while acting primarily as a pinch runner and outfield depth. Now that Tommy Edman (ankle) has returned from the injured list, Dean will be pushed off the active roster and likely finish the season at Triple-A.

Myers (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Myers has been sidelined for all of September with a right oblique strain but has been cleared to knock some rust off on a rehab assignment. Because the absence has been brief, he shouldn't require too many rehab at-bats before being activated from the 10-day injured list. Myers could be limited to playing time versus left-handed pitching upon his return.

Marsh (illness) will start in left field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Mets.

He had been held out of the lineup the last two contests while managing an illness, but Marsh appears to have shaken the ailment and will draw back into the starting nine as the Phillies go for a third straight win. The 27-year-old had been wielding a hot bat prior to falling ill, going 10-for-19 with four extra-base hits and three walks through his first five contests of September.

Mullins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

The left-handed-hitting Mullins will stay on the bench for the second game in a row while the Mets go up against another Phillies southpaw (Cristopher Sanchez). Jose Siri will cover center field in Mullins' stead.

Gilbert is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Though the left-handed-hitting Gilbert will retreat to the bench as the Diamondbacks send lefty Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill, the rookie appears to have overtaken Luis Matos as San Francisco's preferred option in right field. While the Giants faced right-handers in each of the previous six contests, Matos started just twice while Gilbert was included in the lineup on all six occasions. Over his last 10 games, Gilbert has slashed .353/.395/.706 with seven extra-base knocks, three walks, 10 RBI and nine runs.

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

The switch-hitting Collins will bow out of the starting nine for the second time in the series, this time sitting against a right-hander (Merrill Kelly) after he had been held out of the lineup Monday versus lefty Jacob Latz. With Collins on the bench, Jackson Chourio will cover left field, which opens up center field for Blake Perkins.

Soto went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Phillies.

The steal was his 30th of the season, making Soto the first 30-30 player of 2025. It's also the first time the 26-year-old has reached that milestone in his career -- his previous career high in stolen bases was only 12 -- and per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com he became the fifth Met in history to produce a 30-30 campaign, joining Francisco Lindor, David Wright, Darryl Strawberry and three-time 30-30 man Howard Johnson. Soto needs two more home runs to join the 40-30 club, something only 12 players in MLB history have accomplished, including Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Larry Walker and Jeff Bagwell, and current stars Ronald Acuna, Shohei Ohtani and Christian Yelich.

Morabito is hitting .273 with six home runs, 45 steals, a nine percent walk rate and a 24 percent strikeout rate in 112 games for Double-A Binghamton.

The speedy outfielder has been at least 18 percent better than the average hitter in the leagues he has played in since rookie ball in 2023, but he has also steadily hit the ball on the ground too often. Morabito had a 55 percent groundball rate last year and has a 53.4 percent groundball rate this year, so while he attempts to pull the ball, unlike some speed-first outfielders, he hasn't had much success lifting the ball in the air consistently. The righty-hitting 22-year-old has stolen 104 bases in 231 games over the past two seasons.

Acuna went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Cubs.

Dropped down to seventh in the batting order amidst a slump, Acuna produced his first extra-base hit since Aug. 29 and his first multi-hit performance since Aug. 26. One solid game won't erase a 2-for-34 (.059) skid over his prior 11 contests, but it is an encouraging sign. On the season, Acuna still boasts an .892 OPS with 15 homers, six steals, 32 RBI and 59 runs in 78 games.
