Chapman was activated from the paternity list and is part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Chapman rejoins the Giants for Saturday's contest after a stint on the paternity list. He'll immediately return to the starting nine, playing third base and batting cleanup. A corresponding move has yet to be announced. Chapman is slashing .247/.329/.448 through 617 plate appearances this season.

Paredes was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Nationals due to a left wrist contusion, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Paredes was hit in the left hand/wrist during Thursday's contest and also sat down Friday, though this is the first time the Cubs have specified his absence as injury-related. He'll take another day to recover while Luis Vazquez enters the lineup at third base, batting ninth.

Triolo is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

Triolo gets a well-deserved day off Saturday after starting 11 consecutive contests. In his place, Isiah Kiner-Falefa will play third base while Nick Yorke plays second base.

The Nationals recalled Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester on Saturday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

With CJ Abrams heading down to the minors for the final week-plus of the season, Lipscomb will return to Washington to bolster the Nats' infield depth. The 24-year-old owns just a .515 OPS through 204 plate appearances in the big leagues this season, and he will almost certainly be limited to a bench role while Nasim Nunez takes over for Abrams at shortstop.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

Machado's steal was his 10th of the year, the first time he's reached that mark since he swiped 12 bags in 2021. The third baseman has put together a strong September, going 21-for-66 (.318) with six home runs, 21 RBI, eight runs scored and two steals over 16 games. For the year, he's slashing .279/.328/.484 with 29 homers, 104 RBI and 75 runs scored over 145 contests, numbers mostly in line with his production from last season.

Bohm went 4-for-5 with a homer, two runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 12-2 victory over the Mets.

The Philadelphia third baseman had struggled since returning from a hand injury Sept. 15, hitting just .133 (2-for-15) with a solo homer over four games, but broke out with this monster display. Bohm slugged his 15th homer of the season in the fourth inning with a 383-foot, three-run blast off Adam Ottavino. The 28-year-old also collected his third four-hit performance of the season, but his since June 24 at Detroit. Bohm now sports a .290/.343/.467 slash line with 94 RBI and 62 runs scored across 578 plate appearances this season.

Riley (hand) will undergo a CT scan Monday to determine whether he can have his cast removed, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Being able to get the cast removed then will give Riley a shot to return at some point during the postseason should Atlanta make a run, although it's not clear how likely his return would be. Riley also revealed Friday that the fracture to his right hand he suffered back in mid-August was to his hamate bone.

Espinal is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Pirates.

After starting each of the previous 16 games, Espinal will begin Friday's series opener on the bench. Noelvi Marte will hold down third base for the Reds.

Paredes is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

Paredes was spiked on the left hand in the third inning of Thursday's win over the Nationals. He stayed in and finished the game, but it's possible he's feeling the after effects and that's why he's absent from Friday's lineup. Patrick Wisdom is filling in at third base for the Cubs.

Tena went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Cubs.

Tena drove home James Wood with a two-out single in the top of the third before going on to steal his sixth base of the campaign. The shortstop would then add a leadoff single in the sixth to give him his sixth multi-hit performance this month. Tena has hit safely in 11 of his last 14 games, batting .309 (17-for-55) over that stretch with one homer, five RBI, five runs and five stolen bases.
