Suarez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 11-5 loss to the Astros.

The third baseman took Yusei Kikuchi deep in the sixth inning to bring Arizona to within a run of Houston at 5-4, but it was as close as the visitors would get. Suarez has gone yard five times in his last nine games, and his turnaround in the second half of the season has been nothing short of incredible. Through his first 81 games, he slashed a feeble .198/.283/.313 with just six homers and 32 RBI. Since a two-homer performance on July 3, Suarez has delivered a .303/.354/.642 slash line with 19 long balls and 56 RBI in only 58 contests.

McMahon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 loss against the Brewers.

McMahon took Tobias Myers deep in the fourth inning for his 18th homer of the season. McMahon got off to a great start this season but has struggled mightily over the second half. The 29-year-old made his first All-Star game in July but has just four of his 18 homers since the break and is hitting .187/.305/.302 in that stretch.

Arenado (shoulder) is playing third base and batting cleanup Saturday against the Mariners.

Arenado left Friday's game against Seattle in the ninth inning due to shoulder soreness. The third baseman had difficulties swinging a bat leading up to his removal, but he's feeling well enough to start Saturday. Arenado is 9-for-38 (.231) with eight runs and four RBI in his last nine games.

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

After going 0-for-13 with six strikeouts over his last four games, Paredes will get a chance to regroup while Patrick Wisdom covers third base, batting eighth.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Padres.

Chapman has a career-high 14 steals this year, though he's recorded just two of them since the start of August. In that same span, he's batting (.276) with 14 extra-base hits and 21 RBI over 32 games, an improvement on his .249 average for the season. The third baseman has added a .780 OPS, 22 home runs, 69 RBI, 91 runs scored, 34 doubles and a triple through 138 contests, a performance which helped earn him a six-year, $151 million contract extension earlier this week.

Machado went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 win over the Giants.

Machado had gone five games without a homer before lifting a first-inning solo shot. He added an RBI single in the fifth and then went yard again with another solo homer in the eighth, giving him 25 long balls on the year. It's a mark he's reached in all nine of his full-length seasons over the last 10 years, and he's within striking distance of reaching 30 homers for the eighth time in that span. The third baseman has added a .274/.326/.468 slash line with 89 RBI, 69 runs scored and nine steals over 134 contests.

Arenado exited Friday's game against Seattle due to shoulder soreness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Arenado exited in favor of a pinch hitter in the ninth inning after he had difficulty swinging a bat. It's unclear if the injury will cause him to miss additional time, but Jose Fermin would likely pick up playing time at the hot corner in that scenario.

Vientos went 3-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-4 win against Cincinnati.

The Mets' third baseman opened the game's scoring when he laced a 368-foot, two-run homer off opener Fernando Cruz in the first inning. Vientos then capped the game's scoring when he cracked a walk-off, 401-foot, two-run blast in the 10th. The 24-year-old has been a significant source of power this season, as he's now slashing .289/.342/.563 with 24 homers, 62 RBI and 50 runs scored across 368 plate appearances in 91 games. Vientos now has multiple hits in four of his past five games.

Muncy is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

The lefty-hitting Muncy will begin Friday's game in the dugout as Cleveland sends southpaw Matthew Boyd to the mound. Since his return from the 60-day injured list in mid-August, Muncy has slashed .237/.383/.500 with two home runs and seven RBI across 47 plate appearances. Enrique Hernandez will start at third base and bat ninth.

The Phillies placed Bohm (hand) on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 3, due to a left hand strain.

The 28-year-old hasn't seen the field since Aug. 29 due to the injury, and the Phillies finally opted to move him to the injured list after six straight absences. Bohm will be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 13, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point. Buddy Kennedy was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move, but it'll likely be a combination of Edmundo Sosa and Kody Clemens that fills in at third base for Philadelphia.
