The Marlins optioned Pauley to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Pauley appeared in four games after being recalled July 19, during which he went 3-for-9 with an RBI and two strikeouts. He'll now return to the minor leagues in order to make room on the active roster for Owen Caissie (calf), who returned from the injured list Saturday. With a .529 OPS through 106 MLB plate appearances this year, Pauley is unlikely to be a significant contributor for the Marlins if he makes it back to the big leagues.

Jimenez (illness) will start at third base and bat fifth Saturday against the Mets.

Jimenez has been out since Wednesday due to a stomach illness, but he now seems to be feeling better and will pick up a start at the hot corner against southpaw Zac Thornton.

Gonzales went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Friday against the Reds.

Gonzales jump-started the Pirates' offense in the first inning with a two-RBI single, extending his hitting streak to 15 games. He's hit .379 in that span, also collecting eight RBI and 11 runs scored to go along with two home runs. Gonzales' performance at the plate was overshadowed by a defensive miscue that cost the Pirates a win, but he should remain the team's primary third baseman for at least the next month with Konnor Griffin (finger) sidelined.

Karros (biceps) will start at third base and bat fifth in Friday's contest versus the Royals.

Karros didn't start the previous two games because of left biceps inflammation, but he's ready to roll in time for the start of the Rockies' homestand. The third baseman has experienced a mini-breakout for Colorado this season, sporting a .262/.362/.426 batting line with nine home runs over 102 games.

Jordan is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Toronto.

The Cardinals are going with Jose Fermin at third base in Friday's series opener. Jordan will get a breather after going 2-for-12 at the dish in the series versus the Cubs earlier this week.

The Mets acquired Amick and Bruin Agbayani from the Twins on Thursday in exchange for A.J. Minter, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Amick has spent the entire 2026 season at Double-A and is slashing .217/.338/.482 with 23 homers, 72 RBI, 60 runs scored, two stolen bases and a 50:108 BB:K across 379 plate appearances. The 23-year-old corner infield prospect was a second-round pick out of Tennessee two years back and has some power upside.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Thursday's 4-2, 10-inning win over the Cardinals.

Bregman had a nice series against St. Louis, going 10-for-18 with a home run, three RBI and seven runs scored across the four games. Overall, the veteran third baseman is now slashing .248/.341/.381 through106 contests and seems to be trending upward after a slow start to his tenure with the Cubs. Bregman has also been incredibly durable, as he's now played in all but three of Chicago's games this season.

Sanoja isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Sanoja will take a seat Thursday after going 1-for-7 with two walks, a run scored and a steal during Miami's last series against Philadelphia. Graham Pauley will start at third base and bat eighth while Sanoja sits for the series opener in Queens.

Riley is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Nationals.

Riley had started to heat up around the All-Star break, but he's just 6-for-37 with a 2:20 BB:K over his last 10 games. Mauricio Dubon will handle third-base duties while Riley gets a day to clear his head.

Urias' (elbows) rehab assignment has been paused after he was hit on the elbow by a pitch at Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Urias still has inflammation in his elbow as a result of the hit-by-pitch, and he also required stitches for his right ankle when the ball struck the area after deflecting off his elbow. The veteran infielder has been out since early May with tennis elbow in both arms.
