Kyle Muller - Named Tuesday's starter Muller will start Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Muller joined Atlanta's taxi squad Monday and will be recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett a day later to make a late-season start in the majors. The southpaw gave up nine runs in 7.2 innings over two starts for Atlanta earlier in the season, but it's possible that he also makes a start next week in Miami if he performs relatively well Tuesday.

Impact Atlanta looks set to temporarily expand their rotation to six men with a week and a half left in the regular season, paving the way for Muller to rejoin the big club for the third time this season. The 24-year-old southpaw hasn't been especially effective over his prior two spot starts with Atlanta this season, but he's been one of the International League's more dominant arms in 2022, compiling a 3.41 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 159:40 K:BB in 134.2 innings. With a strong showing Tuesday, Muller could earn himself another spot start early next week in Miami.

Travis d'Arnaud - Gets break Monday D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact D'Arnaud looks to be receiving some routine maintenance for the series opener in Washington after he caught all 11 innings of Sunday's 8-7 win over the Phillies. William Contreras will spell d'Arnaud behind the dish Monday.

Robbie Grossman - Hits bench Monday Grossman is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Washington, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact With Ronald Acuna (back) returning from a four-game absence and with Eddie Rosario swinging a hot bat of late, Grossman will head to the bench while the former two players fill out the corner-outfield spots. Grossman is slashing .207/.299/.397 in September and could end up moving into a short-side platoon role if Rosario continues to capitalize on his opportunities in the games to come.
SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Vaughn Grissom - Resting Monday Grissom is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Washington, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact After Ozzie Albies (finger) moved back to the injured list Sept. 18 following a short-lived return from his broken foot, Grissom has taken back everyday duties at second base. The rookie started each of the past eight games and went 6-for-25 with three walks, but he'll be on the bench for the series opener in Washington as manager Brian Snitker gives utility man Orlando Arcia a rare look at the keystone.
SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ronald Acuña Jr. - Re-enters lineup Monday Acuna (back) will start in right field and bat leadoff Monday against the Nationals, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact Acuna had been out of the lineup for each of Atlanta's last four games with mid-back tightness, but he always appeared to be a good bet to start in Monday's series opener in Washington after he logged two plate appearances off the bench in Sunday's 8-7 win over Philadelphia in 11 innings. The fact that Atlanta is deploying Acuna at right field Monday rather than designated hitter seemingly supports that notion, and so long as he avoids any setbacks in his return to the lineup, he should be a mainstay in the starting nine throughout the week as the team looks to chase down the Mets for the National League East title.

Eddie Rosario - On base three times Sunday Rosario went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Phillies.
Impact Getting the start in left field and batting seventh, Rosario kept the line moving for Atlanta and got driven home twice by Dansby Swanson on a second-inning single and a fourth-inning homer. Rosario has been making the most of his opportunities lately, batting .414 (12-for-29) with three doubles, a solo homer and seven runs scored in his last 10 games dating back to Sept. 11.

Michael Harris II - Swipes 19th bag Harris went 1-for-4 with two walks, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Phillies.
Impact Batting second with Ronald Acuna (back) still not ready to start, Harris wasted no time making an impact on the game, drawing a walk and swiping his 19th base of the year in the first inning. The rookie was caught stealing later in the game, but it's just the second time since his promotion to the majors he's been thrown out on a stolen base attempt. Harris hasn't slowed down at the plate in September, slashing .333/.356/.607 through 87 plate appearances with six homers, three steals, 17 runs and 17 RBI.
SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ronald Acuña Jr. - Two PAs off bench Sunday Acuna (back) appeared as a pinch hitter Sunday against the Phillies, going 1-for-1 with a run, an RBI and a walk.
Impact He entered as a pinch hitter in the top of the eighth inning and got another plate appearance in the 11th inning. Acuna last started a game Sept. 21 as the designated hitter as he deals with mid-back tightness. Atlanta starts a three-game series in Washington on Monday.
SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bryce Elder - Nabs another start Elder is scheduled to start Monday's game in Washington.
Impact With Spencer Strider (oblique) landing on the injured list last week, Elder looks poised to finish the regular season as a member of Atlanta's rotation. The rookie right-hander fared well in his most recent start Sept. 21 against Washington, striking out six in a no-decision while allowing one earned run on four hits and two walks across 5.2 frames.
