Peterson did not make the roster for the Diamondbacks' NL Wild Card Series matchup against Milwaukee.

Acquired from the Athletics at the Aug. 1 trade deadline, Peterson wound up slashing just .183/.276/.258 with zero homers and four steals in 41 games (106 plate appearances) for Arizona. Evan Longoria and Emmanuel Rivera will be the options at third base in the Diamondbacks' best-of-three series versus the Brewers.

The Cubs transferred Madrigal (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

After Chicago was officially eliminated from playoff contention Saturday, the team made a slew of roster moves ahead of Sunday's season finale versus the Brewers. Madrigal and Michael Fulmer (forearm) were both transferred to the 60-day IL for procedural reasons, as the moves opened up spots on the 40-man roster for relievers Shane Greene and Tyler Duffey. Madrigal will be activated and added back to the 40-man roster over the offseason and should be fully recovered from his right hamstring strain well in advance of spring training.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Mets.

Bohm reached the 20-homer mark for the first time in his four-year career with a go-ahead solo shot in the sixth inning. He had gone 0-for-17 over his previous four contests. The third baseman ends the regular season with a .274/.327/.437 slash line, 97 RBI, 74 runs scored, four stolen bases and 31 doubles over 145 games.

Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Marlins.

Hayes went 2-for-5 with two doubles and a run in Saturday's loss to Miami, which will end up being his final start of the year. The 26-year-old took a step forward at the plate in 2023 with 15 homers and a .273/.310/.455 slash line in 124 games.

Batten is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Batten will sit for the season finale after a run of 17 straight starts, during which he posted a .626 OPS. He's played in 42 games this season and has a .254/.348/.356 slash line with two homers, 11 RBI and 19 runs.

Machado is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Machado will sit for the second straight game to close out the season for San Diego. If the 31-year-old doesn't make an appearance off the bench, he'll close the 2023 campaign with a .258/.319/.462 slash line, 30 homers, 91 RBI and 75 runs in 138 contests.

Wisdom went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Brewers.

Wisdom also struck out twice in the contest, making this game a good representation of what the 32-year-old brings to the plate. He's batting .205 this season and has struck out nearly 37 percent of the time. Wisdom has struck out at least 34 percent of the time each of the last three seasons. His inability to make consistent contact limits his fantasy upside moving forward, as he seems ticketed for a part-time role where he provides some pop but little else.

Senzel went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 15-6 loss to St. Louis.

Per usual, Senzel got the start with a left-hander on the bump for the Cardinals. His fifth-inning home run meant little to the Reds, who were down 11-2 after the blast and were eliminated from the playoff chase with the loss. The home run was his career-high 13th. At 29-years-old, the once-promising prospect fell behind a class of younger talent that emerged in 2023. Senzel, who was shopped at the trade deadline, per Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer, enters an awkward offseason as an obvious trade candidate. He'll also be a third-year arbitration eligible player, which means other teams could hold off on trading for him, hoping to get him at a lesser price as a free agent if the Reds non-tender him.

Marte went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 15-6 loss to the Cardinals.

The 21-year-old is having a fantastic finish to the season, hitting safely in seven straight games and batting .355 (11-for-31) over that stretch with two of his three homers since his mid-August promotion to the majors. Marte is expected to be a key part of the Reds' future, and while his spot in the lineup has been secure to close out 2023 due to the absence of Matt McLain (oblique), the team will likely have to do something to alleviate its infield roster crunch in the offseason, either by trading a player such as Jonathan India or by shifting someone like Marte to the outfield.

Peterson will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Astros, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Peterson's off days tend to come against southpaws, but he sits Saturday against righty Justin Verlander. Evan Longoria will get the start at the hot corner.
