    Chase Meidroth (wrist) is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Reds.

    Meidroth told reporters that he isn’t dealing with a potential hamate issue after hurting his left wrist on a swing last week. He’s out of the lineup for the second straight game with Sam Antonacci drawing another start at the keystone in his absence. It’s possible he’ll require a trip to the injured list if he isn’t showing any improvement later this week.
Alcantara central to Marlins' pitching experiment
James Schiano unpacks the interesting pitching experiment going on in Miami, postulating that ace Sandy Alcantara may just want the ball as much as possible as he makes the most of his "rubber arm."

    Mickey Gasper left Friday’s game against the Cubs with an apparent injury.

    Gasper appeared to injure himself on a swing, and while the backstop was initially able to continue, he exited shortly after. Connor Wong is now catching for Boston. There should be an update shortly.

    Ray Kerr will get the start against the Marlins on Friday.

    Kerr will be on the bump and likely go around three innings before giving way to a reliever. He’s done a nice job since being promoted in August with a 1.76 ERA, but seems likely to give way to the bullpen before he’d be eligible for a win.

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters that Ryan Weathers (forearm) looked healthy in his live bullpen session Friday.

    Boone reported that Weathers was up to 96 mph with his heater in the session. The left-hander’s regular season is over, but could be an option for the Yankees in the playoffs. Boone wasn’t ready to commit to Weathers being an option for the Wild Card round, but if he’s not, he could be available for the ALDS should the Yankees advance.

    Elmer Rodriguez will pitch for the Yankees on Sunday.

    Rodriguez will likely get the start Sunday as the Yankees will have nothing to play for in that contest. The 23-year-old is one of the better prospects in the system and has some long-term upside, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere for an option in that game against Baltimore.

    Cody Bellinger is not in the lineup for the first game of a doubleheader versus the Orioles on Friday.

    Bellinger will get the first half of the twin billing off. Heliot Ramos gets the nod with left-hander Trevor Rogers on the bump for the Orioles.

    Trent Grisham (hamstring) took live batting practice Friday.

    Grisham and Giancarlo Stanton (calves) both faced off against Ryan Weathers (forearm) before Friday’s contest. Grisham has been out of action since near the start of September, but could be an option for the postseason beginning next week.

    Giancarlo Stanton (calf) took live batting practice Friday.

    Stanton was facing off against fellow rehabber Ryan Weathers (forearm). Stanton is currently on the 60-day injured list with a recurring calf issue, and it seems unlikely he’ll be an option for the Yankees during the postseason.

    Ryan Weathers (forearm) will throw a live bullpen session Friday.

    Weathers will get a chance to face Giancarlo Stanton (calves) and Trent Grisham (hamstring) in that session. The left-hander has not faced hitters since suffering his flexor strain near the end of August. He could be an option for the postseason, but there are no guarantees.

    Anthony Volpe is making his first major league start at third and batting seventh against the Orioles in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader.

    The Yankees could have played José Caballero at third and Volpe at second with Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ryan McMahon sitting against a lefty, but they want to see if Volpe can serve as an alternative to McMahon in the postseason. It’s just kind of weird that they’ve waited this long to do it.

    Yankees recalled RHP Yerry De los Santos from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

    De Los Santos had been back in Triple-A since Aug. 30, even though he has a 1.35 ERA in 20 innings in the majors this season. He and Brendan Beck are replacing Bradley Hanner and Luis Gil, who were sent down after Thursday’s game.
