Boston Red Sox infielder
Romy Gonzalez (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Athletics in Sacramento.
David Hamilton is starting at second base and will hit seventh for the BoSox against A's right-hander
Mason Barnett. Left-knee soreness caused the Red Sox to pull Gonzalez in the second inning of Tuesday's game, and he's now day-to-day after going 2-for-2 with a home run, double, and two RBI before leaving. Boston doesn't sound too concerned about Gonzalez's knee injury for now, so he may be back at the keystone on Friday against the division-rival New York Yankees. The 29-year-old has struggled to stay healthy in 2025, but he's been a solid bat for the Red Sox when he's been available, hitting a career-best .311 (84-for-270) with a career-high nine homers, 48 RBI, and five steals in 84 games.

Boston Red Sox infielder
Romy Gonzalez (knee) exited a 6-0 win over the Athletics on Tuesday with soreness in his left knee, but it doesn't appear to be a serious injury. "Structurally, everything's good. Hoping to be ready to go by Friday," said Gonzalez, who went 2-for-2 with a home run and two RBI on Tuesday before the Red Sox replaced him at first base with
Nathaniel Lowe in the bottom of the second inning. With Gonzalez unavailable, Lowe will start at first, and
David Hamilton will man the keystone against Athletics right-hander
Mason Barnett on Wednesday. The Red Sox are idle on Thursday, but based on what Gonzalez told the media, he could be available when they open an important series against the New York Yankees on Friday. The 29-year-old has been productive over 84 games this season, having slashed .311/.345/.507 with nine homers, 48 RBI, 41 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 290 plate appearances.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder
Anthony Santander (shoulder, back) was supposed to start a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday, but lower-back tightness prevented it from happening. The team will give Santander one or two days to recover before sending him to play his first rehab game, according to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. Although it's a minor setback, it continues a frustrating and injury-ravaged season for Santander. The 30-year-old has been on the IL with left-shoulder issues since May 30 and has played in just 50 games this season as a result. When healthy, the former Baltimore slugger has hit a subpar .179/.273/.304 with six homers, 18 RBI, and 14 runs scored over 209 trips to the plate.

Boston Red Sox right-hander
Dustin May (elbow) landed on the 15-day injured list with elbow neuritis on Tuesday (retroactive to Sept. 6). However, he avoided structural damage and expects to return this year. May told reporters there's a "very big possibility" he'll be back before the regular season ends. If that doesn't happen, the 28-year-old is optimistic that he'll be ready for a potential playoff run in October. Whether Boston would want to use May in the postseason is in question, as the former Los Angeles Dodger has fallen flat since joining the Red Sox in a July trade. May has gone 1-4 with a 5.40 ERA, a 1.69 WHIP, and 26:13 K:BB in 28 1/3 innings as a member of the Red Sox. Meanwhile, left-handed prospect
Connelly Early - whom the team promoted to start in May's place on Tuesday - dazzled in his major league debut. Early punched out 11 hitters across five scoreless innings in a 6-0 victory over the Athletics.

San Diego Padres shortstop
Xander Bogaerts (foot) has resumed light baseball activities and hopes to come off the 10-day injured list for the final week of the regular season. Bogaerts has been out for almost two weeks after fouling a ball off his left foot and suffering a non-displaced fracture on Aug. 27. Over 131 games and 534 plate appearances this season, the 32-year-old has hit a decent .262/.330/.387 with 10 homers, 49 RBI, 60 runs scored, and 20 stolen bases. The Padres, who hold a wild-card spot and trail the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers by two games, have mostly turned to
Jose Iglesias to handle short in Bogaerts' absence.

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman
Tyler Locklear (elbow) is expected to miss the rest of the season with an injured left elbow. Locklear landed on the 10-day IL on Monday after colliding with Boston Red Sox catcher
Connor Wong on Sunday. The Diamondbacks are still determining the severity of Locklear's injury, but with little time left in the season, they're likely to shut him down. Acquired from the Seattle Mariners in July in a deal for third baseman
Eugenio Suarez, the 24-year-old Locklear struggled to a .175/.267/.262 line with three homers, six RBI, 11 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 116 plate appearances this season. He figures to vie for a regular role next spring, but in the meantime,
Ildemaro Vargas could finish 2025 as the Diamondbacks' primary first baseman.

First baseman
Anthony Rizzo is retiring as a member of the Chicago Cubs, Jesse Rogers of ESPN reports. The 36-year-old will serve as an ambassador the Cubs, who will honor him before their game against the Tampa Bay Rays this Saturday. Rizzo entered the professional ranks as a sixth-round pick of the Boston Red Sox in 2007, but they eventually traded him to the San Diego Padres. He made his way to the Cubs in a 2012 trade and became a franchise icon thanks to his on- and off-field contributions. Rizzo spent 2012-21 with Chicago and went on to make three All-Star teams, win four Gold Gloves, and help the club to a World Series title in 2016, breaking a 108-year drought. His run with the Cubs ended when they shipped him to the New York Yankees in July 2021. Rizzo stayed with the Yankees through 2024, and though he showed interest in continuing his career this season, he didn't sign with anyone as a free agent. He'll now wrap up an excellent career in the majors with a .261/.361/.467 line, 303 home runs, and 965 RBI over 1,727 games and 7,336 plate appearances.

New York Mets outfielder
Jose Siri (tibia) was activated from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday after completing a rehab assignment in the minors. The 30-year-old collected at least one hit in six of the eight games he played on the assignment, and was back in the lineup for the Mets on Tuesday night. The 6-foot-2 slugger went 1-for-4 out of the ninth spot in the order, with the lone hit being a double, and he also scored once. The right-handed hitter offers both pop and speed, blasting as many as 25 home runs in 101 games in 2023 for the Rays, and recording at least 12 stolen bases in each of the last three seasons despite playing in no more than 130 games in any of those seasons. The issue is that he strikes out a ton and will likely hurt fantasy managers in the batting average department, so he can be left on the waiver wire in most leagues.

Colorado Rockies rookie infielder
Warming Bernabel (concussion) has been placed on the 7-day concussion injured list after slamming into a wall chasing a foul ball in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Dodgers. The 23-year-old was 5-for-7 (.714) in his previous two games and was slashing .264/.301/.434 with four home runs since he was called up at the end of July. To take his place, the Rockies recalled first baseman
Michael Toglia from Triple-A Albuquerque. Toglia spent 86 games with the Rockies earlier this year and logged 36 games with the Isotopes. Though he's had a rough go of it in the majors, Toglia is known for some big power and was hitting .387 (31-for-80) over his last 22 games at Triple-A, including four doubles, two triples, and six home runs. The left-handed slugger could help fantasy managers looking for power, but it could come at the expense of batting average based on his previous stints in the majors.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher
Ryan Pepiot, who was scheduled to start Wednesday's road matchup with the Chicago White Sox, will be scratched due to fatigue. As a result, the Rays will go with a bullpen game, with
Griffin Jax now listed as the scheduled opener. Pepiot is having a fine season, pitching to a 3.59 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and a 15.9 percent K-BB%, however, he's also at a career-high 163 innings pitched, which is 30 more innings than he logged last season. It's bad timing as the Rays try to make a final push towards the playoffs, but hopefully this rest rejuvenates him for a couple of final starts to end the year. Jax hasn't logged more than an inning all year in 65 appearances, so don't expect him to go longer than that on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher
Roki Sasaki (shoulder) made his fifth rehab appearance on Tuesday for Triple-A Oklahoma City, allowing three earned runs on three hits and four walks while striking out eight batters in 4 2/3 innings of work. The right-hander threw 90 pitches in the game, but only just over half were for strikes (52), although he coaxed 16 whiffs on 35 swings and threw six pitches 100 mph-plus. Last week, manager Dave Roberts said that Sasaki's stuff was not where they wanted it to be at this point in his rehab in order to return to the Dodgers, but we'll see if Tuesday's start changes his tune.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder
Jeremiah Jackson (elbow) was hit in the right elbow by a pitch in the eighth inning of Tuesday's 3-2 extra innings win over the Pirates, and he then exited the game. The 25-year-old had homered earlier in the game, his fifth since being called up at the beginning of August. The former second-round draft pick has outperformed expectations since arriving, slashing .314/.346/.521 in 33 games with the O's. The right-handed slugger should be considered day-to-day for now. If he is back in the lineup on Wednesday, he'll have a tall test against the Pirates'
Paul Skenes.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop
Masyn Winn (knee) was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to soreness in his left knee. It has been revealed that the 23-year-old has a slight tear of his meniscus, which will require surgery in the offseason. The team plans to let him play through it as there aren't concerns of further damage, it is just a pain tolerance issue at this point. The surgery is also not expected to delay his start to next season. The former second-round draft pick has not had a productive year at the plate, but more so in the second half, producing a .247/.298/.331 slash line with a .281 wOBA and 79 wRC+ since the All-Star break. Hopefully next year will show some improvement, as he currently stands as the 28th-ranked shortstop in terms of fantasy scoring.

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher
Cade Horton picked up his 10th win of the season on Tuesday, throwing 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball in his team's 6-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Horton struck out just two, but walked none and allowed only four hits. In 110 innings (20 starts) this season, Horton is 10-4 with a 2.70 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 89 strikeouts. Horton has struggled to miss bats at the big-league level, posting just a 20% strikeout rate. However, he has shown much better strikeout stuff in the minors, recording a 30.6% strikeout rate in 29 innings at Triple-A this season and a 28% strikeout rate across multiple levels in 2024. Horton is a must-start fantasy pitcher down the stretch, given his success so far and his win potential while pitching for the Cubs.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher
Ranger Suarez was dominant in his team's 9-3 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday. Suarez pitched six scoreless innings, striking out 12 while allowing one hit and three walks. In 143 innings (23 starts) this season, Suarez is 12-6 with a 2.77 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 140 strikeouts. The 30-year-old left-hander has established himself as a must-start pitcher for fantasy managers.
