    Soler isn't in the Marlins' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Advice: After an 0-for-4 performance to begin the day, Soler will ride the pine to begin the second game of Wednesday's twin bill. Jake Burger will serve as Miami's DH while Jon Berti starts at third base. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

  • Will make one more start
    Harrison (illness) will start one of the games during the Giants' weekend series against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: Harrison was originally supposed to start Tuesday's game against San Diego, but he was instead scratched due to an illness. Fortunately, his illness will not put an early end to his season, and he will make an appearance in the final series of the season -- though the Giants haven't yet specified exactly which game that will be. The 22-year-old southpaw has given up 16 earned runs in 29.2 frames across six starts since being called up to the majors in late August. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Returns to lineup
    Flores (knee) is starting at third base and batting third Wednesday against San Diego, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Flores missed two straight starts due to soreness in his right knee, but he was able to pinch hit during Tuesday's contest and will now return to the lineup Wednesday. The 32-year-old has been in a bit of a skid at the plate recently, going just 2-for-13 across his last six games. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago

  • On bench Wednesday
    Choi is absent from the lineup Wednesday against the Giants.

    Advice: Garrett Cooper will start at first base and bat sixth as the Padres roll out a righty-heavy attack versus Giants left-hander Sean Manaea. Choi remains hitless in 33 plate appearances with San Diego and carries a .125/.211/.313 slash line versus lefties this year. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Lining up for playoffs
    Nola won't pitch again during the regular season and is expected to start Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Round next Wednesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Advice: Philadelphia's playoff seed is stable for the No. 1 wild-card spot, so it's not a surprise Nola's turn through the rotation will be skipped this weekend. The right-hander ended up making his final start of the regular season Tuesday versus Pittsburgh, and he allowed just one run and struck out eight in 6.2 frames. Nola closes out the campaign with a 4.46 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 202:45 K:BB across 193.2 innings. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
     
  • On bench versus lefty
    Grisham is not in the lineup Wednesday at San Francisco.

    Advice: It's the second straight absence for Grisham with the Padres facing back-to-back lefties. Jose Azocar will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's series finale against the Giants and southpaw Sean Manaea. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
