McMahon is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

McMahon is 1-for-17 with a homer and three RBI in his last five appearances, and he'll head to the bench for Sunday's contest. Rio Ruiz will start at the hot corner for the Rockies in his place.

The Phillies recalled Maton from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Philadelphia will bring up Maton from the minors to give the team an extra body in the infield after Didi Gregorius was placed on the paternity list Sunday. Freddy Galvis will step in at shortstop for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks and will likely serve as the primary option at the position while Gregorius is away from the team for up to the next three days, so Maton will presumably be limited to a bench role.

Duffy will start at second base and batting fifth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Duffy is starting at the keystone for the third straight game and this figures to be the norm for a while, with David Bote (ankle) landing on the injured list Saturday. Duffy hasn't done a ton at the plate this year with a .640 OPS and one home run in 69 games, but the uptick in playing time at least gives him a little boost in fantasy value.

Segura went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over Arizona.

He went back-to-back with Odubel Herrera in the third inning against Humberto Mejia. Segura has racked up three straight multi-hit efforts during which he's also notched at least one RBI and one run, going deep twice in that stretch. That surge has pushed his slash line on the year back up to .295/.356/.443 with 10 homers, nine steals, 45 RBI and 58 runs through 101 contests.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in a 7-0 win over the White Sox on Saturday.

Wisdom took AL Cy Young candidate Lance Lynn deep in the fourth and fifth innings. It was the second straight two-homer game for the slugger, making him the first rookie in Cubs history to accomplish that feat, per Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network. Wisdom has gone deep nine times in his past 16 contests and is up to 25 homers in 251 at-bats overall this season. He needs one more long ball to tie Kris Bryant's team rookie record set in 2015.

Sosa went 4-for-6 with two triples, five RBI and three runs Saturday in a 13-0 thrashing of the Pirates.

Sosa plated the first runs of the contest for the Cardinals with a two-run triple in the second inning, then one-upped himself by driving home three runners with a bases-clearing triple in the following frame. Per Jason Catania of MLB.com, the infielder became the first Cardinals player to rack up at least two triples and five RBI in a game since Ken Boyer in 1962. Sosa has been outstanding at the plate across 19 contests in August, registering three games of three or more hits and batting .388 (19-for-49) with two homers, three triples, 11 runs and 10 RBI.

Moustakas was removed from Saturday's game against the Marlins with right hip tightness, and he won't be in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Moustakas was pulled from Saturday's contest after striking out during the second inning, and he'll be held out of the starting nine for at least one game. Lefty Jesus Luzardo is poised to start Sunday for Miami, so Moustakas may not have started regardless of the injury. However, there's a chance the 32-year-old slugger will be available off the bench.

Muncy (back) will bat second and play first base Saturday against the Rockies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Muncy had missed a pair of starts while battling back tightness, though he did appear off the bench Friday. He'll be involved from the start this time around and will look to bounce back from a small slump which has seen him go 0-for-19 at the plate in his last five games.

Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 6-0 win over the Marlins.

He launched a solo shot off Paul Campbell in the eighth inning. Moustakas has broken out of a rough 1-for-32 stretch as he shakes off the last of his rust from a long IL stint, going 5-for-15 over his last four games with two doubles and two of his six homers on the year.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk, four RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 17-13 loss to the White Sox.

On his 30th birthday, the third baseman rewarded himself with a pair of homers. Wisdom has gone yard five times in his last seven games. This is the second noticeable power binge for the third baseman, who is up to 23 long balls, 48 RBI, 44 runs scored and three stolen bases through 270 plate appearances. He's added a solid .255/.319/.563 slash line in a surprising breakout season.
