Espinal started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two stolen bases in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

Espinal has now started six of the last seven contests and will continue to vie for playing time at third base, especially with fellow third baseman Noelvi Marte struggling with a .488 OPS. The versatile Espinal has started at second base, shortstop, third base, left field and designated hitter this season, batting .243 with eight home runs, 30 RBI, 21 runs scored and eight stolen bases across 77 games played.

Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Hayes appears to be receiving some maintenance after he went 8-for-35 (.229 average) with two stolen bases, six runs and two RBI while starting each of the Pirates' last nine games. Jared Triolo will spell Hayes at the hot corner.

Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, two runs and two RBI in Saturday's 10-0 win over Oakland. He also pitched one inning, giving up a hit and no runs.

Hernandez was part of a late-game explosion by Los Angeles' offense, as he doubled home a run in the eighth inning and added another RBI on a single in the ninth. Those contributions helped the Dodgers build a 10-0 lead, and manager Dave Roberts consequently let Hernandez pitch the ninth. He did well in lobbing pitches to A's hitters, giving up a two-out double but nothing more. Hernandez has gone 4-for-7 with two walks over the first two games of the weekend set versus Oakland.

Bohm went 1-for-5 with three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's loss to Seattle.

Bohm drove in Philadelphia's first three runs of the game and also came around to score himself in the fifth on a Brandon Marsh single. The third baseman has now hit safely in five consecutive games and in eight of his last nine overall, tallying six doubles and a triple over that latter stretch to go along with five RBI and four runs scored. Bohm also swiped his fifth bag of the season in Saturday's loss, and it was his first since June 24 against the Tigers.

Rivera will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Rivera has operated as a short-side platoon player for much of his time in the majors this season, but he started the first two games of the series against right-handed pitchers and will remain in the lineup for the finale while southpaw Max Fried toes the rubber for Atlanta. The uptick in playing time against right-handed pitching looks to be a byproduct of the Marlins shipping Josh Bell to the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline, with the deal paving the way for Jake Burger to log more time at first base and designated hitter while Rivera gets more reps at third base.

Marte started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 6-4 win over San Francisco.

Marte, who was held out of the starting lineup the last two games, returned to action Saturday, but the bat remained problematic. He has just two hits over the last 19 at-bats and is batting .172 for the season.

Burger went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over Atlanta.

Burger has logged five multi-hit efforts in his last eight games, and he's added five homers, eight RBI and a double over that span. The infielder got Miami on the board with his third-inning solo shot and added another RBI with a single in the fifth as part of the comeback effort. Burger's power was largely absent early in the season, as he hit just four homers over his first 38 games, but he's up to 17 long balls, 46 RBI, 40 runs scored, no stolen bases and a .242/.288/.434 slash line through 88 contests this year.

Bride went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Atlanta.

Slotting in as the depleted Marlins' cleanup hitter for the third straight game, Bride went yard for the second time during that stretch and the second time this season as he took Spencer Schwellenbach deep in the first inning. Bride has gone 7-for-23 (.304) in seven games since being called back up from Triple-A in late July, but his 2:10 BB:K -- not to mention his career .204/.299/.264 slash line over 347 plate appearances in the majors -- makes it tough to trust that his current hot streak will last much longer.

Espinal started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 3-0 loss to San Francisco.

Espinal, who made a fifth consecutive start, saw an end to a nine-game hit streak (as a starter). He entered Friday's game in a 19-for-35 stretch over the previous 12 games, which led to an increase in playing time, including starts at third base the last two games. The primary starter at the hot corner, Noelvi Marte, is batting .177 since coming back from a suspension and could be susceptible to losing playing time to Espinal.

Solano went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Rockies.

Solano has played in just five games since the All-Star break, as there isn't room for him in the lineup when all of Jake Cronenworth, Luis Arraez and Xander Bogaerts are playing. Despite the limited action, Solano has gone 5-for-12 over those five games. The utility man has a .300/.355/.417 slash line with four homers, 21 RBI, 21 runs scored, nine doubles and one stolen base over 197 plate appearances this season. His playing time would likely pick up if there was an injury to one of the Padres' other infielders.
