Capel was hitting .226 with eight home runs and 22 RBI in 155 at-bats with Triple-A Louisville. The Reds have seven days to trade Capel or place him on waivers.

Lee was hurt colliding with Austin Hedges in the third, but since he was DHing, it was unclear for a couple of innings whether he’d be staying in the game. Dillon Dingler replaced him in the fifth.

Martínez, playing left field, collided with shortstop Brayan Rocchio on the final play of the top of the fourth. Rocchio was able to stay in, but Martínez was removed for the start of the fifth. Nathaniel Lowe replaced him, with David Fry moving from first base to left field.

It’s supposed to be a minor problem, but it’s taken Stone out of the mix to start for the Dodgers this weekend. Stone has pitched 11 2/3 innings with a 1.54 ERA in four starts for Oklahoma City as he works his way back from shoulder surgery. He has an excellent 18/1 K/BB during the span.

Musgrove, trying to return from Tommy John, has been impressive when he’s been able to pitch, but he’s really struggled to bounce back afterwards. “We’re just trying to look at some different options -- shorter appearances, different theories,” Musgrove said. “I’m running out of answers.” Musgrove will likely take on a lesser workload in his next appearance, with the hope that he might bounce back more quickly. A return this season as a traditional starter appears to be off the table at this point.

Judge was also seen running the bases today. He’s unlikely to be activated from his rib fracture this weekend, but a return next week back in New York is possible.

Weathers, out since Aug. 23 with a flexor strain, might come off the IL as a reliever before season’s end.

This is definitely a change from yesterday. Ohtani is out of the lineup for a second straight game tonight because of his knee and biceps issues. According to The Athletic, his left hip has become a problem, too. All things considered, 10 days off doesn’t seem like a bad idea.

Espino is officially up in the majors for a second time, which doesn’t include his one-day doubleheader stint in July. He’s allowed three runs and struck out 12 over six innings for the Guardians. He’d allowed four runs in 18 innings for Columbus since his previous demotion.

Allen returns to the minors after giving up five runs in 2 1/3 innings in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader. He has a 5.94 ERA in 16 2/3 innings for Cleveland this year.

Miller emerged as one of baseball’s best prospects last year, but his back has been a problem throughout 2026, resulting in a procedure in June. As long as things go well over the next couple of weeks, he’ll be assigned to the Arizona Fall League in order to get more at-bats,
