Colson Montgomery swats 20th homer in victory

White, 32, tore a ligament in his foot while getting stuck in Fenway’s center field fencing a couple of weeks ago. He hit .246/.289/.398 in 204 plate appearances for the Braves and Red Sox this season. The Red Sox could keep him as a bench guy for $1.5 million or so next year or set him free this winter.

With Masyn Winn and JJ Wetherholt back, the Cardinals have prioritized Thomas Saggese and José Fermin over Gorman, who is hitting just .186/.271/.314 in 292 plate appearances. It would seem to set Gorman up for being traded or non-tendered this winter. His career got off to a promising start, with him hitting 41 homers in 208 games at ages 22 and 23. However, in the three years since, he has a .199 average and has been worth -0.4 fWAR in 300 games.

Gonzales is 0-for-12 lifetime against Andre Pallante, so he’s taking a seat in favor of Jacob Gonzalez tonight. Gonzales, who has been in the running for the NL batting title, is 2-for-14 in his last five games, dropping his average to .302. That puts him behind Luis Arraez (.313), Gabriel Moreno (.307) and Otto Lopez (.305).

Fraley rejected the assignment and opted for free agency. The 31-year-old hit .216/.289/.364 in 31 games for the Rays, missing most of the season following hernia surgery. He’ll most likely have to settle for a minor league deal this winer.

Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt were set to face off tonight. They’ll instead pitch Wednesday now. Trey Gibson was expected to be called up to start for the Orioles on Wednesday, though that hadn’t yet been officially announced.

The 39-year-old Yates, out since Sept. 3 with a shoulder impingement, will get a chance to finish out the season and maybe his career on the active roster. He has a nice 3.40 ERA in 39 2/3 innings for the Angels and Pirates this year, but he is weighing retirement.

Doval had a 3.79 ERA since arriving from the Yankees, but the Pirates weren’t going to bring him back at $7 million or so for his final arbitration year next season. He’ll likely be popular as a reclamation project this winter.

Anthony Volpe is starting at second base in the first game. Chisholm’s return from his sprained thumb presumably will knock Max Schuemann off the Yankees roster.

It’s Santillan’s second IL stint of the year, as he missed mostly of July and August with an oblique strain.
With his velocity down about two mph from the previous couple of seasons,

the 29-year-old Santillan concludes the year with a 6.42 ERA in 40 2/3 innings. That would seem to make him a non-tender candidate this winter.

Phillips has a 5.53 ERA in 27 2/3 innings for the Reds this year, mostly because he’s walked 28 batters. He’ll be used in middle relief.
