McMahon went 1-for-4 with a three-run double, a steal and a walk in Monday's 5-4 loss to Washington.

The Rockies were being shut out through five innings before McMahon cleared the bases with a three-run double in the sixth. He drew a walk in the fourth and swiped his sixth bag of the year. The 26-year-old infielder owns an .802 OPS with 13 RBI this month, raising his season slash line to .254/.333/.448.

Machado went 1-for-2 with three walks and an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 loss to Atlanta.

The slumping Padres head into the final week of the regular season already eliminated from postseason contention, but Machado hasn't faded down the stretch for fantasy managers. Over a stretch of 11 games since Sept. 15, Machado has slashed .349/.391/.628 with three home runs, 11 RBI and eight runs.

Suarez went 1-for-5 with a double and three strikeouts in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Nationals.

Suarez's two-bagger allowed him to extend his hitting streak to six games, tying his longest stretch of the season. With Mike Moustakas (foot) on the injured list, Suarez is poised to play regularly at third base during the final week of the season, perhaps making him an attractive pickup in leagues where fantasy managers may have dropped him during what's been a rough campaign for the 30-year-old. Suarez owns a meager .678 OPs on the season, but he's slashing .400/.444/.760 with five extra-base knocks during his ongoing hitting streak.

Hayes went 2-for-2 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-0 win over Philadelphia.

Hayes didn't start Sunday's contest, but he was one of two Pirates to end with multiple hits. He knocked in a pair of runs with a seventh-inning double, and he also scored on a balk in the ninth. The third baseman has posted eight multi-hit efforts in 18 games in September, and he's now slashing .260/.319/.377 through 392 plate appearances overall.

Farmer went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Nationals.

Farmer hammered a grand slam off Ryne Harper in the sixth inning to give the Reds a huge 7-1 lead. The 31-year-old utility man has gone 12-for-36 (.333) with two homers and eight RBI over the last nine games. He improved his season OPS to .734 with 16 long balls and 63 RBI.

Davis landed on the injured list Sunday with a left hand sprain, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

An injury at this point in the season ends Davis' campaign, as there are just eight days remaining on the schedule. Injuries limited him to just 73 games this year, but he produced when available, finishing the year with a .285/.384/.436 slash line. He only cleared the fence five times, however, and his 32.2 percent strikeout rate and .426 BABIP indicate he's unlikely to sustain a similar batting average going forward unless he starts making more contact. Sean Reid-Foley was activated to take his place on the roster.

Sosa (wrist) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Sosa continues to recover from the right wrist injury he suffered when hit by a pitch during Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader in Chicago, and it's not a major surprise to see him on the bench again Sunday. The 25-year-old will have Monday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery before potentially missing more time. Paul DeJong will receive another start at shortstop in his absence.

Duffy will start at third base and bat fifth Sunday against the Cardinals.

The 30-year-old was originally scheduled to sit Sunday's series finale, but he'll join the lineup late after Patrick Wisdom was scratched with a wrist issue. Duffy is in the midst of a six-game hit streak in which he is 9-for-21 with four doubles, three walks, an RBI and four runs.

Wisdom was scratched from Sunday's lineup versus the Cardinals due to right wrist soreness.

Wisdom was slated to start at third base but was pulled from the lineup due to the wrist issue. It's unclear if he'll be available off the bench, and he'll have Monday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery before potentially missing additional time. Matt Duffy was set to sit Sunday but will instead start at the hot corner.

Duffy is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals.

Duffy has a six-game hit streak in which he has a 1.119 OPS, but he will head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. David Bote will start will man the keystone in his absence.
