Chapman went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple, a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Red Sox.

The veteran third baseman put together his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 8 as he continues to underperform his metrics. Chapman is sitting in the 96th percentile in the league in average exit velocity and 94th percentile in barrel rate, but all he has to show for it is a .236/.315/.467 slash line. His numbers have been even worse in August -- .174/.260/.391 through 19 games -- but half his 12 hits on the month have gone for extra bases, including four of his 24 homers on the year.

Bregman went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in a 4-2 win over the Twins on Tuesday.

Bregman powered the Astros to victory with his 19th home run of the season as part of a three-hit effort. Bregman has been red hot lately and is slashing an incredible .378/.453/.730 this month. The 28-year-old third baseman is well on pace to break the 20-homer mark for the first time since 2019, when he belted 41 long balls.

Walls went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Angels.

Walls delivered a single in the seventh inning and came around to score in the same frame to account for his production. The effort was only his third-multi hit game since the All-Star break, and Walls has hit just .190 -- albeit while generating a .333 on-base percentage -- with eight RBI and 13 runs scored across 29 games in that span. He figures to remain the Rays' primary shortstop until Wander Franco (wrist) is able to return.

Suarez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Nationals.

Suarez has gone 7-for-28 (.250) in his last nine games, but he's also supplied five homers and 12 RBI in that span. The power-hitting third baseman is up to 23 long balls, 71 RBI, 60 runs scored and a .228/.333/.442 slash line through 122 contests this season. He should continue to see a near-everyday role in the middle third of the Mariners' lineup.

Paredes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's 11-1 win over the Angels.

Paredes singled in the second inning before taking Jose Suarez deep for a solo homer in the bottom of the sixth. He later added a walk and came around to score again in the seventh frame. The long ball was the 23-year-old's 15th of the year and first since July 26. Paredes is now batting .218 with a home run, six RBI and eight runs over 55 at-bats in August.

Bride is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Bride has a .610 OPS through 16 games in August and will take a seat after starting the previous four contests. Tony Kemp will move to second base while Seth Brown and Chad Pinder start in the corner outfield spots.

Henderson will be in the lineup and playing second base Tuesday for Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

As of Tuesday, Henderson can officially be recalled from Triple-A without exhausting his prospect eligibility for 2023 via days on the active roster, but he would need to have no more than 130 at-bats over the rest of the season. There have been rumors that he will join the big-league club sometime this week, so Henderson, a top-three prospect in the game, should be rostered as a speculative add in most redraft leagues at this point.

Urias is not in the lineup Tuesday against the White Sox, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Urias has gone 8-for-22 with four runs and three RBI in his last six contests. While Urias sits Tuesday, Rougned Odor will slide to third base and Terrin Vavra will start at second base.

Donaldson (illness) is starting at third base and batting fifth Monday against the Mets.

Donaldson will return to the lineup after missing the last two games with a stomach ailment. The 36-year-old currently owns a four-game hit streak, batting .250 with a grand slam over that stretch.

Paredes will start at first base and bat third in Monday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He'll pick up his fourth consecutive start Monday after going 2-for-11 with two doubles and a run over the final three contests of the Rays' weekend series with the Royals. The righty-hitting Paredes should be a fixture in the lineup against southpaws moving forward, but his opportunities versus same-handed pitching will likely be more sporadic. He'll be spelling the lefty-hitting Ji-Man Choi in the lineup Monday with southpaw Tucker Davidson taking the hill for Anaheim.
