Ford returns to the Reds organization after he was released just four days ago. The 31-year-old decided to opt out of his minor league deal last week. He’ll give the team some useful depth, especially in light of Christian Encarnacion-Strand’s injury.

Sewald was placed on the injured list with a neck strain Sunday, and if everything goes well, he could be back for the Diamondbacks before the end of the regular season. The question will be as to what kind of role, as Sewald has struggled considerably as of late and lost his closing gig.

Adams was slated to start in center but won’t get that chance. Kevin Pillar will take his spot with Mickey Moniak (hand) still not ready to go.

Moniak was able to appear off the bench, but still hasn’t been in the starting lineup since being diagnosed with a hand contusion Sunday. Jordyn Adams gets the start in center with Moniak not ready to go.

Garcia won’t be able to pitch in a game, but the hope is that the 27-year-old can face live hitters before the season closes to build some confidence for him coming into 2025. Assuming there’s no setbacks, Garcia should be able to have a role in the rotation to begin next year.

Doyle was originally scheduled to play center and hit third against the Dodgers, but the soreness in his knee will keep him from doing that. Consider Doyle day-to-day, but keep in mind how little baseball is left/how little can be gained by risking further injury for Doyle.

Glasnow told reporters that the follow-up imaging didn’t reveal anything more than a sprain. The right-hander was frustrated by the injury as he believed he had figured out a path to avoid the sprain he suffered, which helps explain why he didn’t speak to the media until now. Assuming no operation is needed, Glasnow should be ready for the start of the 2025 campaign.

The expectation is that Senga will throw two innings or 35 pitches, whichever comes first. The right-hander could make his return to the Mets as a bullpen arm before the end of the season, and then be a valuable multiple-inning arm for New York if the team makes the postseason.

No reason has been given as to why Doyle isn’t playing. The 26-year-old will retreat to the bench, and Sam Hilliard will start in center field.

Soto injured his knee making a sliding catch Thursday against the Mariners, but X-rays returned negative, and the 25-year-old superstar will be able to go to begin the three-game set against Oakland.

Mountcastle is playing in his first rehab game as he works his way back from the wrist injury that has sidelined him since August. He’ll likely need a few games with the Tide, and then could/should return to Baltimore for the final contests of the regular campaign.
