MLB Player News

The Pirates recalled Kreidler from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

The 27-year-old was claimed off waivers by Pittsburgh last weekend and will now get a look in the big leagues after Isiah Kiner-Falefa was claimed by the Blue Jays. Kreidler can play multiple spots in the infield and outfield and should serve as a super-utility player.

Manager Dave Roberts said Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks in order to give the outfielder a "two-day reset" due to his offensive struggles, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Hernandez has a .732 OPS this season and has struggled to a .689 OPS versus right-handed pitching. The 32-year-old has gone just 3-for-27 with 11 strikeouts over his past eight games, so the Dodgers will utilize Monday's team off day to give him two consecutive days off. In Hernandez's place, Alex Call is starting in right field and batting sixth Sunday.

Gurriel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

The veteran outfielder had started the previous 16 games and will get a well-deserved off day over posting an .874 OPS with five home runs and 21 RBI during that stretch. Jake McCarthy will receive a start in left field with Gurriel on the bench Sunday.

The Marlins placed Myers on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right oblique strain.

Myers exited Saturday's game against the Mets due to side discomfort and has now been diagnosed with an oblique strain. The severity of the injury isn't yet known, but it's possible the injury ends his 2025 campaign. If that's the case, Myers will close the season with a .233/.292/.325 slash line, 17 steals and six home runs in 99 games.

Laureano went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in a 12-3 win against Minnesota on Saturday.

Laureano knocked a run-scoring single in the sixth inning and added a two-run blast in the eighth. The veteran outfielder has gone deep three times in his past five games, pushing his season total to 22 long balls -- two shy of the career-high mark he established in 2019. Since joining the Padres via a July 31 trade, Laureano is slashing .307/.358/.594 with seven home runs, 23 RBI, 18 runs and one stolen base over 27 games.

Perkins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

With the Brewers bringing Jackson Chourio back from the injured list Saturday, Perkins will stay on the bench for the second game in a row. He's set to operate as the fourth outfielder over the final month of the season behind Chourio, Isaac Collins and Sal Frelick.

Hassell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Hassell will hit the bench while the Nationals face off against lefty Ian Seymour. Jacob Young will fill in for Hassell in center field and bat ninth.

Reynolds is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Reynolds had started every game dating back to Aug. 5, so he'll be getting a well-deserved breather Sunday as the Pirates close out their series in Boston. With Reynolds on the bench, Alexander Canario will receive the starting nod in right field.

Church will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

The rookie had initially been part of a timeshare in center field with Lars Nootbaar upon getting called up from Triple-A Memphis, but near-everyday roles became available for both players after Alec Burleson (wrist) landed on the injured list Friday. Church will be included in the starting nine for the third straight game after going 1-for-7 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored in the first two contests of the series.

Happ went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

Happ has enjoyed his trip to Coors Field so far, as he's gone 5-for-8 with two walks, four extra-base hits and three RBI in two games. The veteran outfielder is still having a bit of a down season by his standards, as his current .732 OPS would be the lowest of his nine-year MLB career. However, Happ has also managed 17 home runs to this point, and he could reach the 20-homer plateau for the third straight season and fifth time overall with a solid September.
