McMahon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers.

McMahon got the Rockies on the board with a solo shot in the fourth inning. It was his third homer in his last six games, and it got him to the 20-homer mark for the third time in the last four years. The infielder is slashing .245/.326/.415 with 66 RBI, 66 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 149 contests in 2022, and it appears he'll conclude the year as the starting third baseman after he signed a six-year contract with the Rockies before the season.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the White Sox.

Machado launched his 32nd homer of the year in the seventh inning to account for the Padres' last run. He also had their only multi-hit effort in the contest, his fourth in his last seven games. This was the first time the third baseman produced an RBI in five contests after reaching the century mark Sept. 25 versus the Rockies. He's at a .296/.367/.533 slash line with 101 RBI, 99 runs scored, nine stolen bases, 36 doubles and a triple through 147 contests in another standout year.

Muncy isn't starting Saturday against the Rockies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Muncy will head to the bench after he went 1-for-18 with a double, two RBI, a run, six walks and five strikeouts over the last six games. Miguel Vargas is serving as the designated hitter and batting sixth.

Rivera was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Giants due to mild soreness in his left forearm.

Rivera was slated to start at third base Saturday but was removed from the lineup less than an hour before the start of the game. Although his forearm soreness is described as mild, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench or whether he'll be able to return for Sunday's series finale. Buddy Kennedy will take over at the hot corner and bat sixth Saturday.

Hayes went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Friday against the Cardinals.

Hayes reached base on a single in the eighth inning and proceeded to steal second base. He has 19 stolen bases on the season, five of which have come across 21 games in September. For the season, Hayes has maintained a disappointing .246/.316/.350 line across 544 plate appearances.

Riley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 win over the Mets.

Riley was the first of back-to-back homers with Matt Olson in the second inning Friday, putting Atlanta on the board. Riley has 38 homers on the year, which has him tied with Mike Trout for fourth in baseball. It was Riley's sixth homer in September. The third baseman has struggled this month, batting .206 with 28 strikeouts. During that span, his season batting average dropped from .289 to .275.

Longoria went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 10-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Longoria hadn't homered since Aug. 23, going 26 games without a long ball. He had just two multi-hit efforts in that span, but he ended the quiet stretch with a massive performance. He knocked a go-ahead three-run blast in the first inning and tacked on a two-run shot in the second. Longoria is up to 14 homers, 41 RBI, 31 runs scored and 13 doubles through 88 contests this year.

Kennedy was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Kennedy, who turns 24 on the final day of the regular season, slashed .261/.363/.385 with seven home runs in 93 games at Triple-A this season and has a .626 OPS through 80 at-bats in the majors. This is the corresponding move to Ketel Marte going on the injured list, so Kennedy could see time at second base over the final days of the season.

Reynolds isn't in the lineup Friday against the Cubs.

Reynolds started six of the last seven games and went 4-for-17 with a double, an RBI, four walks and six strikeouts. He'll get a breather since Donovan Solano is starting at first base and batting fifth in his return to the lineup.

Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and an RBI in Thursday's win over the Phillies.

Wisdom had two of his team's seven hits, leading the Cubs to a 2-0 victory. The infielder is batting just .212 this season with a strikeout rate of 33.7 percent, though he's provided decent fantasy value with 25 home runs, 27 doubles and 66 RBI across 130 games. This was his first multi-hit game since Aug. 14.
