All Player News

Leo Jimenez

TOR Shortstop #49

Leo Jiménez is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Mets.

Jiménez was hit in the foot for the fifth time in seven games, and it’s at least in part due to him being hit in the foot earlier in the month. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said the foot is still “pretty sore” and that the team is being careful with the 23-year-old as the season comes to a close. It’s also worth noting that Ernie Clement has been one of Toronto’s best offensive players, so that has a little something to do with Jiménez lack of consistent time, as well.
Bo Bichette

TOR Shortstop #11

Bo Bichette (calf) won’t play Wednesday for Triple-A Syracuse during his rehab assignment.

Bichette played four innings while going 1-for-3 during his rehab appearance for Syracuse on Tuesday. Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters that the 26-year-old was “on his feet more than planned” so the team will give him a day off before he returns to the lineup Thursday. If all goes well, Bichette has a chance to join Toronto in the middle of Setember.
Reynaldo Lopez

ATL Relief Pitcher #40

Braves placed RHP Reynaldo López on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

The Braves were said to be somewhat encouraged after initial tests on López’s arm last night, but an IL stint always seemed likely. They could go to Bryce Elder, A.J. Smith-Shawver or maybe even Ian Anderson in his place next time through the rotation. It might help Anderson’s case some that he started last night and his schedule lines up with López’s.
Daysbel Hernandez

ATL Relief Pitcher #62

Braves recalled RHP Daysbel Hernández from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Hernández’s has received limited opportunity because the Braves pen has been filled with unoptionable pitchers, but he’s allowed just two runs — one earned — in 11 innings while in the majors this season. This might be another brief stint, since the Braves will need to add a fifth starter next week.
Cavan Biggio

ATL Second Baseman #6

Braves selected the contract of INF/OF Cavan Biggio from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Biggio, acquired from the Giants last week, joins the Braves after just one game for Gwinnett, in which he went 1-for-5 with an RBI while playing second base. He’ll presumably be the new stopgap at second with Ozzie Albies and Whit Merrifield sidelined. The 29-year-old has batted .197/.316/.306 in 219 plate appearances for the Jays and Braves this season. Luke Williams was demoted to make room for him.
Luke Williams

ATL Third Baseman #65

Braves optioned INF/OF Luke Williams to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Williams had started the last four games in a row with Whit Merrifield out, but he’s still the choice to get the boot here, even though Adam Duvall and Eli White aren’t playing at all. Williams has hit .196/.275/.261 in 52 plate appearances for the Braves.
Jimmy Herget

ATL Relief Pitcher #64

Braves designated RHP Jimmy Herget for assignment.

Herget had spent the last few weeks in Triple-A. He made eight appearances for the Braves earlier this season, pitching to a 4.38 ERA in 12 1/3 innings.
Connor Norby

MIA Second Baseman #24

Connor Norby is starting at third base Wednesday after missing Tuesday’s game with a sore foot.

He’s leading off today, as Xavier Edwards is again absent from the lineup for some undisclosed reason.
Andrew McCutchen

PIT Center Fielder #22

Andrew McCutchen is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s matinee against the Marlins.

This appears to be a consequence of the Pirates wanting to give Bryan Reynolds a partial day off as a DH and also find another start for Billy Cook. McCutchen, who hit his 20th homer last night, isn’t currently an outfield option after a series of minor to moderate leg injuries the last couple of months.
Tyler Soderstrom

OAK Catcher #21

Tyler Soderstrom went 3-for-4 with a triple and a walk for Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Soderstrom is 6-for-13 with two homers and three walks through four games on his rehab assignment, so one imagines he’ll be back this weekend. He’s been on the IL since July 11 with a bone bruise in his left wrist.
