New York Mets general manager Billy Eppler's and manager Buck Showalter's jobs are safe, according to a high-ranking team source.

The Philadelphia Phillies signed manager Rob Thomson to a two-year contract for the 2023 and 2024 seasons on Monday, according to president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski.

The Kansas City Royals fired manager Mike Matheny and pitching coach Cal Eldred following the regular season finale on Wednesday. The Royals finished the 2022 season 65-97.

Jonathan India Scratched From Lineup Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (foot) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs after fouling a ball off his foot on Tuesday night.

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday for the regular season finale against the Washington Nationals.
