Kieboom (forearm) is in the lineup for Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Kieboom didn't start the past two games while dealing with a left forearm injury, but it was apparently a minor concern as he's back in the lineup for the series finale. The 24-year-old has struggled through 21 games in September with a .167/.244/.179 slash line, and he'll attempt to finish with a strong final week of the season now that he's healthy enough to play.

Hayes is out of the lineup Sunday versus the Phillies.

Hayes will head to the bench after starting the past four games and going 5-for-18 with a home run, four RBI, two runs and two stolen bases. Hoy Park will cover the hot corner in his place Sunday.

Escobar went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Mets. He was also hit by a pitch.

The infielder accounted for half of Milwaukee's hits and all of the team's run production in the low-scoring win. Escobar had gone 0-for-15 in a four-game series versus the surging Cardinals, but he's found more success against the Mets' pitching staff. For the season, the 32-year-old has a .249/.313/.468 slash line with 28 home runs, 85 RBI, 73 runs scored and a stolen base across 576 plate appearances.

Kieboom (forearm) had an MRI come back clean and is available off the bench Saturday at Cincinnati, Pete Kerzel of MASNSports.com reports.

Kieboom is sitting out a second consecutive game due to the left forearm injury, though it doesn't appear to be a serious concern. Jordy Mercer will start at the hot corner in his place for Washington.

Longoria is out of the lineup Saturday at Colorado, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria started the past five games and will head to the bench after going 4-for-18 with a double, two runs and eight strikeouts. Wilmer Flores will work at third base Saturday for San Francisco.

Kieboom (forearm) remains on the bench for Saturday's game against Cincinnati.

Kieboom was scratched from Friday's lineup with a left forearm injury and will wind up missing at least two starts. How much longer he'll miss beyond that point is not yet clear. Jordy Mercer will again be the starter at the hot corner.

Sosa (wrist) remains on the bench for Saturday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Sosa left the first game of Friday's doubleheader after a pitch hit him in the wrist. While he avoided a fracture, he's expected to take at least a few days to heal. Paul DeJong remains the shortstop Saturday.

Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Wisdom went hitless in the first game of Friday' twin bill but connected on a two-strike fastball in the first inning of the second game, sending it 453 feet to center field. The long ball was his 28th of the year as he's making a late push for the National League Rookie of the Year award. The 29-year-old is slashing .233/.304/.522 with 28 home runs, 61 RBI, 54 runs scored, four steals and 30:151 BB:K over 369 plate appearances. His power is clear as day, although his 40.9 strikeout rate is limiting his potential at the plate.

Hayes went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Friday's 8-6 loss to Philadelphia.

The third baseman has been solid in September, going 22-for-71 (.310) across 16 games. Hayes has slashed a modest .259/.319/.375 with six home runs, nine steals, 36 RBI and 48 runs scored through 386 plate appearances overall.

Kieboom was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Reds due to a left forearm injury, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Kieboom was removed from Friday's lineup shortly before the start of the contest, and he didn't appear off the bench in the loss. Manager Dave Martinez revealed after the game that the third baseman is dealing with a forearm injury after being hit by a pitch earlier in the week, and he'll undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the extent of the issue.
