Bregman went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 12-2 win over the Pirates.

After a scorching-hot August in which he recorded 12 home runs and a 1.025 OPS, Bregman has kept things rolling in September with a 1.039 OPS and two long balls across 10 games. The veteran third baseman is now up to 25 home runs overall, and a hot finish to the season could give him his third 30-homer campaign of his career. Bregman has put a slow start to the year behind him and has emerged as an offensive force for the Cubs down the stretch.

Pauley went 3-for-6 with a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

Seven different Marlins hitters recorded multiple hits en route to a 20-hit, 14-run eruption from the offense, and it wasn't enough as the pitching staff coughed up 15 runs. Pauley has taken over the strong side of a platoon in September, batting .286 (6-for-21) over his last seven games with a triple, two homers, five runs and nine RBI. If he keeps producing at the plate, he could hang onto the job even when Xavier Edwards (thumb) is cleared to return and Javier Sanoja isn't needed at second base.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, four total RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 14-1 win over the Reds.

Hernandez had gone just 4-for-27 (.148) over his previous 13 games, adding no extra-base hits or RBI during the power drought. He's now up to three homers and nine RBI over 30 contests this season. Hernandez continues to fill a utility role, and he's batting .222 with a .692 OPS across 68 plate appearances.

Muncy went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 14-1 win over the Reds.

Muncy has an extra-base hit in four straight games. This was his first homer since Aug. 21 versus the Pirates, but he's breaking out of the slump he endured in late August and early September. The third baseman is batting .252 with an .845 OPS, 27 homers, 70 RBI, 74 runs scored, 23 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 134 contests this year.

Arenado went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Royals.

Arenado has homered twice over his last four games, and he has four RBI in that span. The third baseman is now batting .236 with a .742 OPS, 69 RBI, 67 runs scored, 21 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases over 137 contests. While his consistency at the plate hasn't bounced back, his 23 home runs are the most he's hit in a season since he clubbed 26 in 2023.

Baty was diagnosed with left knee pain following his removal from Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Baty sustained the injury on an RBI single in the second inning, prompting his removal from the game after being briefly evaluated by a trainer. The Mets are off Thursday, and follow-up tests will determine whether Baty will be cleared to play in Friday's series opener against the Yankees.

Baty was removed from Wednesday's game against the Marlins due to an apparent knee injury.

Baty appeared to tweak his knee on an RBI single in the second inning. He was removed from the game and replaced by Christopher Morel at first base, and the Mets should have an update on Baty's status during or shortly after Wednesday's contest once he's evaluated further.

Bohm is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Bohm will get a day off as the Phillies take on Astros righty Hunter Brown. Kyle Schwarber is grabbing a start at first base for Philadelphia.

Vivas is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Diego.

The left-handed-swinging Vivas typically starts against right-handers, but he will begin Wednesday's game on the bench while the Padres send veteran righty Walker Buehler to the hill. CJ Abrams is handling second base for the Nationals on Wednesday.

House is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego.

House will receive a day of rest after starting each of the previous five contests at third base. Andres Chaparro will cover the hot corner and will bat third as the Nationals look to avoid their seventh consecutive loss.
