It creates space on the 40-man roster for Tristan Gray. Chargois is currently out with a neck injury, and he has no timetable for a return at this point. The earliest he can be activated is now May 27.

This is the second straight start for Noel against a right-handed pitcher with Will Brennan seemingly starting to slide to a bench role. It’s an odd choice since Brennan has gone 10-for-29 (.345) in 11 games in September while Noel is hitting just .114 in 13 games in September and went 0-for-3 last night with two strikeouts. Perhaps the Guardians see something in the matchup with Simeon Woods Richardson that they feel favors Big Christmas.

Since being recalled from Triple-A on Wednesday, Schmitt has started two straight games at third base with Brett Wisely shifting to the bench, which is notable since both games have come against right-handed pitchers and Wisely bats left-handed. Schmitt has hit just .213 with five home runs in 89 at-bats at the MLB level this year but was slashing .274/.343/.469 in 74 games at Triple-A with 13 home runs and 11 steals. He could provide some deep league value in the final week if he keeps the job.

It appears to be a routine day off for Ramos, who has struggled since the All-Star break, hitting .229 with 58 strikeouts in 53 games. He does have seven home runs and four steals over that span, so he hasn’t been giving you nothing, but he has not been worth putting in lineups in most fantasy leagues. Michael Conforto will slide to left field with Jerar Encarnacion in the lineup at designated hitter.

Rosario has filled a short-side platoon role since signing with Cincinnati, so he will get the start against left-hander Chris Sale while Jake Fraley heads to the bench.

The 27-year-old has an 8.68 ERA in 9 1/3 innings out of the Reds bullpen this season. He may not get another chance in 2024.

The 26-year-old has a 5.54 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 13 innings for the Reds this year out of the bullpen. Casey Legumina was optioned in a corresponding move.

The former top prospect in baseball had been on the bench for three straight games after slumping hard over the last month. The Orioles got him back in the lineup on Wednesday, and he went 1-for-2 with a run scored, so they’ll see if he can keep that going on Thursday; however, he has not been producing nearly enough to be in your fantasy lineups.

As has become the norm in Minnesota, most of the lefties will sit with Cleveland starting left-hander Joey Cantillo. However, interestingly, Matt Wallner remains in the starting lineup and batting eighth. Manuel Margot will plat left field in Larnach’s place, and Kyle Farmer will play second base for Edouard Julien. The good news if you roster any of these Twins is that they get matchups against three right-handed pitchers in Boston this weekend.

Rizzo knocked a base hit in the second inning to score Jasson Domínguez for the first run of the game. With things tied up in the tenth inning, he came through for the Yankees again with a double to give New York the lead with what would be the game-winning run.

Turner knocked a double in the second inning, then came up clutch in a big spot for the Mariners in the eighth. With Seattle trailing by one run, he took Clay Holmes deep for a game-tying solo homer. The Mariners eventually fell in the 10th, with Turner striking out to end the game.
