Sanoja is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in St. Louis.

Sanoja leads the Marlins with 36 starts at third base this season, but this is his second straight game out of the lineup and his fourth absence over the last five games versus righties. Graham Pauley was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville and is getting the call at the hot corner Friday.

The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Pauley sports just a .165/.211/.271 batting line across 33 games during his time with the Marlins this season. Miami has received very little offensively from third base, so Pauley could get another chance there, but there's no guarantee he'll play regularly.

The Padres signed Rengifo to a minor-league contract Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Rengifo was officially released by the Brewers earlier this week after slashing only .205/.280/.254 with no home runs across 57 contests. The utility player is hitting just .229/.285/.313 in the majors since the beginning of the 2025 season, but he offers plenty of versatility and could get another chance with the big club sooner rather than later.

Gonzales is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Reds.

It's the first time since May 21 that Gonzales has been out of the Pirates' lineup. Jared Triolo will cover third base in the series opener.

Karros is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Minnesota.

Karros has now been out of the lineup three of the last four times the Rockies have gone up against a right-hander. Colorado will shift Willi Castro over to third base once again, with Edouard Julien covering second base.

Pauley is expected to be called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Pauley will return to the major-league roster after being optioned to Jacksonville on May 29. The 25-year-old posted a .246 average with nine extra-base hits, including two homers, while also adding 11 RBI, seven runs scored and three stolen bases over 17 contests at the Triple-A level following his demotion. Connor Norby is expected to be sent to Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Arenado is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals.

Arenado is getting some rest for the first time in June after starting the first 22 games of the month. During that span, the veteran third baseman slashed .173/.227/.247 with one home run and three doubles in 81 at-bats. Ildemaro Vargas is starting at third base and batting eighth Thursday.

The Mets acquired Mathis from the Cubs on Wednesday in exchange for left-hander David Peterson, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

After turning in a 1.204 OPS through 66 plate appearances at Single-A Myrtle Beach to begin the season, Mathis received a promotion to High-A South Bend on April 21 and slashed .260/.371/.490 with three home runs in 25 games before landing on the 7-day injured list over the weekend with an unspecified injury. Assuming the injury isn't too significant, the 22-year-old infielder should be ready to debut with his new organization prior to the All-Star break. Mathis will likely report to High-A Brooklyn.

Edman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Since being activated from the 60-day injured list June 16, Edman has gotten off to a nice start at the plate, going 8-for-22 with a 2:4 BB:K through his first six games. The Dodgers are being mindful of not overextending Edman following a lengthy absence, so he'll continued to have his workload managed before he moves into more of a full-time role. After Edman started the previous two nights, he'll get a chance to rest Wednesday while Alex Freeland takes his spot in the lineup at second base.

Vivas went 2-for-3 with a walk, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Phillies.

Getting the start at second base and batting fifth while Nasim Nunez shifted to shortstop to cover for CJ Abrams (side), Vivas appeared to have the game won when he took Orion Kerkering deep in the bottom of the eighth inning to give the Nationals an 8-6 lead, only for the visitors to stage an improbable eight-run rally with two outs in the top of the ninth. The homer was only Vivas' second of the season in 161 plate appearances, but that still establishes a new career high for the light-hitting infielder, who sports a .259/.340/.353 slash line on the year.
