Suarez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday in a 4-3 loss to the Cubs.

Suarez set off an Arizona rally in the ninth inning with a two-run blast off Cubs closer Ryan Pressly. The veteran third baseman has now homered in each of Arizona's first three games of the campaign, belting four long balls and racking up seven RBI in that span. Suarez's red-hot start is a stark contrast to his early-season struggles last year -- he had just six homers and a .196 batting average through the end of June in his first campaign with the Diamondbacks in 2024.

Machado was removed from Saturday's game against Atlanta due to right calf tightness, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Machado appeared to injure himself on a swing in the bottom of the fourth inning. He was able to finish the at-bat but limped off the field and was replaced by Jose Iglesias at third base for the top of the fifth. Machado will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, per Cassavell.

Hernandez (illness) is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup but is available off the bench for Saturday's game against Detroit, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Hernandez didn't play in the first two games of the series while battling the flu. It appears the utility man has recovered from the ailment and will be available as a reserve for Saturday's finale.

Pauley isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

The lefty-hitting Pauley will grab a seat on the bench Saturday while the Pirates send the lefty-throwing Bailey Falter to the hill. Jonah Bride will cover third base as a result, moving Kyle Stowers to the DH spot while Javier Sanoja gets the starting nod in left field.

Pauley went 1-for-2 with a double and an RBI in Friday's loss to the Pirates.

The 24-year-old has started back-to-back games at third base for the Marlins to begin the season, going 2-for-6 with a strikeout while batting at the bottom of the order. Pauley appears to be Miami's top option at the hot corner while Connor Norby (oblique) is on the shelf, but Eric Wagaman -- who pinch hit for Pauley in the seventh inning against southpaw Caleb Ferguson -- and Jonah Bride could get short-side platoon work at the position as well.

Dunn isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

With the Brewers set to face a lefty (Max Fried) for a second consecutive game to open their season, the lefty-hitting Dunn will remain on the bench Saturday while Vinny Capra starts at the hot corner and bats eighth.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 8-1 win over the Cubs.

Both long balls came off Jameson Taillon, as Suarez belted a two-run homer to left-center field in the second inning and then did it again to almost the exact same spot in the fourth, with the total distance of the blasts coming in at 854 feet. Suarez has gone yard three times in Arizona's first two games, giving him an early jump on putting together his sixth career 30-homer campaign.

McMahon went 3-for-3 with a double, two singles and a walk in a 3-2 loss to the Rays on Friday.

The third baseman was a problem for Tampa pitching and should benefit from hitting behind Brenton Doyle and Ezequiel Tovar in the Colorado lineup. McMahon has hit 20-plus homers every year since 2019 -- except for the pandemic-shortened 2020 season in which he hit nine in 52 games.

The Pirates recalled Valdez from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

With Nick Gonzales (ankle) headed for the injured list, the Pirates will bring Valdez up from the minors to replenish their infield depth. The 26-year-old is likely to remain on the bench most days while Adam Frazier starts at the keystone until Gonzales returns.

Riley went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Padres.

Hitting second in the Atlanta order, Riley took Alek Jacob deep in the fourth inning on a changeup that stayed up and over the heart of the plate. The 27-year-old third baseman dealt with injuries last season for the first time since his breakout 2021 campaign, but if Riley can stay healthy in 2025 he should be able to return to his usual 30-homer, 90-RBI ways.
