Alex Faedo

DET Starting Pitcher #49

Alex Faedo (finger) is scheduled to undergo a procedure on his right middle fingernail on Wednesday.

There had been some hope that Faedo would be able to return at some point over the final weekend of the season, but now he’ll be shut down for the rest of the year. Faedo finishes the 2023 campaign with a 4.45 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and a 58/20 K/BB ratio over 64 2/3 innings with the Tigers.
Carlos Correa

MIN Shortstop #4

Twins’ manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters on Tuesday that Carlos Correa (foot) could return from the injured list during their weekend series against the Rockies in Colorado.

Correa has been sidelined since September 19 due to a flare up of the plantar fasciitis in his left foot. It’s an issue that he has bothered on and off for the duration of the season. It sounds like he’ll get at least a couple of games in over the weekend to get his timing back before the postseason begins.
Garrett Mitchell

MIL Left Fielder #5

Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) is no longer expected to be activated from the injured list on Tuesday.

Mitchell has joined up with the Brewers, but hasn’t been activated yet as that would require a roster move. He’ll continue to train with the team and take live batting practice, but it’s unclear if he’ll be activated from the injured list before the regular season ends. Mitchell is hopeful however that he’ll be included on the Brewers’ postseason roster.
Adbert Alzolay

CHC Starting Pitcher #73

Adbert Alzolay (forearm) is expected to face live hitters within the next few days.

The 28-year-old right-hander played catch without any issues on Tuesday and as long as he feels good on Wednesday he’ll be cleared to face live hitters. Alzolay has been shelved since mid-September due to a right forearm strain.
Ryan Mountcastle

BAL Left Fielder #6

Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) participated in live batting practice on Tuesday.

Orioles’ manager Brandon Hyde told reporters that there’s a chance Mountcastle could return from the injured list on Wednesday, but the more likely scenario is that he returns at some point over the weekend. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since September 13 due inflammation in his left AC joint.
Dylan Floro

MIN Relief Pitcher #58

Twins designated RHP Dylan Floro for assignment.

Since joining the Twins at the trade deadling, Floro has struggled mightily — registering a 5.29 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and a 17/6 K/BB ratio over 17 innings of work, so it’s not surprising to see him jettisoned off the roster with Brock Stewart ready to return. There’s a chance that another squad could scoop Floro up off of waivers, though he’ll be a free agent at season’s end.
Brock Stewart

MIN Relief Pitcher #61

Twins activated RHP Brock Stewart from the 60-day injured list.

Stewart has been shelved since late June with soreness in his right elbow. He has looked strong on a recent minor league rehab assignment though — touching 97 mph with his fastball — and is ready to help out the Twins’ bullpen as they head into the postseason. Dylan Floro was designated for assignment in a corresponding move on Tuesday.
Ketel Marte

ARI Second Baseman #4

Ketel Marte (illness) has returned to the Diamondbacks’ lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the White Sox.

Marte is back at second base and batting second on Tuesday night, weather permitting, as the Diamondbacks continue their road trip in Chicago. The versatile 29-year-old missed Arizona’s previous two contests due to illness.
Brandon Nimmo

NYM Left Fielder #9

Brandon Nimmo (leg) has returned to the Mets’ lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Marlins.

Nimmo is back in center field and leading off on Tuesday night after sitting out Sunday’s game due to lingering right leg soreness.
Francisco Alvarez

NYM Catcher #4

Francisco Alvarez (finger) is in the Mets’ lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Marlins.

X-rays came back negative after Alvarez made an early exit from Sunday’s series finale against the Phillies with a left middle finger contusion. The 21-year-old top prospect is back behind the dish on Tuesday evening without missing any game action.
