Brewer Hicklen

MIL Left Fielder #28

Brewers optioned OF Brewer Hicklen to Triple-A Nashville.

Hicklen went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts during his week with the Brewers. On the plus side, he did put a ball in play this time; he was 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in his previous major league action with the Royals in 2022.
Christian Yelich

MIL Right Fielder #22

Brewers transferred OF Christian Yelich from the 10-day to the 60-day injured list.

Yelich is out for the year after undergoing back surgery last month.
Coby Mayo

BAL Third Baseman #16

Coby Mayo is out of the lineup yet again Sunday for the game against the Rays.

It’s funny now to think about how the Orioles talked about Mayo being a second-half contributor before they knew that Jordan Westburg, Jorge Mateo, Ryan Mountcastle and Ramón Urías were all going to get hurt. The reality is that they have Nick Maton playing over him at the moment. He hasn’t even had a chance to fail offensively, given that his two major league stints have produced a total of 28 plate appearances. The Orioles just seem to have no confidence in him as a third baseman.
Danny Coulombe

BAL Relief Pitcher #54

Danny Coulombe will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

Coulombe, who last pitched June 8 before surgery to remove bone spurs from his elbow, is going to need to make at least two or three appearances in the minors. He had a 2.42 ERA in 29 appearances before going down.
Ceddanne Rafaela

BOS Center Fielder #43

Ceddanne Rafaela is on the bench Sunday for the third time in Boston’s last seven games.

It sounded like Rafaela would play second base with Trevor Story back, but he started in center field in Story’s return Saturday and now he’s sitting today. His recent usage suggests he’s dealing with something minor or that the Red Sox are otherwise concerned that he’s wearing down. After all, this is a guy who started every single game from June 28-Aug. 25.
Korey Lee

CWS Catcher #26

Korey Lee is back behind the plate Sunday after missing two games with back stiffness.

The White Sox lost both games in Lee’s absence, so this is big for them. Chuckie Robinson returns to the bench.
Victor Vodnik

COL Relief Pitcher #38

Rockies activated RHP Victor Vodnik from the 15-day injured list.

Vodnik, who was out with biceps inflammation, made one rehab appearance, pitching a scoreless inning for Double-A Hartford on Friday. He’ll likely return to the closer’s role for the Rockies, though perhaps not for his first few days back. Tyler Kinley is 4-for-4 saving games in his place, but he did have a disastrous outing to blow a four-run lead against the Marlins on Aug. 27.
Ty Blach

COL Starting Pitcher #50

Rockies designated LHP Ty Blach for assignment.

Blach gets DFA’d for a second time this year after giving up five runs in 3 2/3 innings in a start against the Brewers on Saturday. He’s 3-8 with a 6.94 ERA for the Rockies.
Tyler Soderstrom

OAK Catcher #21

Tyler Soderstrom went 0-for-3 in his second rehab game with Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

Being asked to face Max Scherzer in a rehab game just doesn’t seem fair. Soderstrom did homer as a DH in his first appearance Thursday. He played first base for six innings on Saturday. Soderstrom has been on the IL since July 11 with a bone bruise in his left wrist.
Wade Meckler

SF Right Fielder #53

Wade Meckler went 2-for-4 with a homer and a walk for Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday,

Meckler struggled with a wrist injury over the early part of the season, but since rejoining Sacramento on Aug. 1, he’s hit .312/.358/.544 with six homers in 148 plate appearances. It’d probably take an injury to get him a look in the majors at this point, but depending on what happens this winter, he could be in the mix for a spot in the Giants outfield next spring.
