MLB Player News

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pages (hand) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

As expected, Pages will be available for the start of LA's series against the Padres on Tuesday after missing time rehabbing from surgery to repair a fractured left hand. He was batting .288 with three home runs, nine RBI, two stolen bases and eight runs over 19 games in August before going down with the hand injury. He should slot right back in as the Dodgers' starting center fielder.

The Giants selected Davidson's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Davidson will man right field and bat third in Monday's series opener. He was impressive at Triple-A before earning his promotion to the major leagues, hitting .309 with 10 home runs, 41 RBI, six stolen bases and 36 runs in 52 games.
