  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Drives in five runs Tuesday

    Muncy went 3-for-5 with two doubles, five RBI and a stolen base in a loss to the Marlins on Tuesday.

    Muncy plated over half of Los Angeles' runs in the high-scoring affair, knocking a two-run double in the third inning, a run-scoring single in the seventh and another two-run double in the ninth. The third baseman has driven in at least one run in six of his past nine contests and has a total of 10 RBI during that span. Since returning from the injured list Aug. 19, Muncy is slashing .250/.382/.583 with six home runs, 17 RBI, 16 runs, a stolen base and a 14:22 BB:K over 24 games.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | COL

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Taking seat versus southpaw

    McMahon is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    The Diamondbacks are sending southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill in the matinee, so the left-handed-hitting McMahon will begin the game on the bench. Aaron Schunk is at third base and batting ninth for the Rockies.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Powers offense Tuesday

    Machado went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

    After getting shut out by Hunter Brown for five innings, Machado finally got the Padres on the board with a two-run homer to level the game in the sixth. He now has four homers, seven multi-hit performances and 16 RBI over his last 10 games. Machado started off slow this year with six homers and 33 RBI in the first 70 games, and over his last 73 games he's turned things around with 21 homers and 69 RBI while hitting for a .305 average.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Helps in comeback win

    Marte went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-5 win over Atlanta.

    Marte contributed to the Reds' comeback from a 5-1 deficit with his sixth-inning double that plated two (one came home on a throwing error). He then stole his ninth bag of the season. It's been a down year for Marte, who never developed any sustained success at the plate after serving an 80-game suspension, but he's in the midst of an encouraging stretch, having gone 7-for-25 (.280) with four RBI and three steals over the last seven contests.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Shifts to paternity list

    The Giants are expected to place Chapman on the paternity list Tuesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    Chapman looked to be getting a maintenance day, as he was out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with Baltimore, but he's actually stepped away from the team to be with his growing family. The veteran third baseman -- whose absence Tuesday is just his sixth of the campaign -- should be back with the Giants in time for Friday's series opener in Kansas City.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Sitting out Tuesday

    Bohm is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Bohm started the first two games for the Phillies after being activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday, but he'll receive some rest Tuesday. Edmundo Sosa -- who is fresh off the IL himself -- will cover third base for Philadelphia in Bohm's stead.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Day off Tuesday

    Chapman is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Baltimore.

    It's a rare day off for Chapman, who leads all third basemen with 146 games played this season. Brett Wisely will get a start at the hot corner and bat ninth in the series opener.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Tallies three more hits Monday

    Paredes went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 9-2 win over the Athletics.

    For the second time in his last four games, Paredes recorded three hits. The infielder is batting a robust .483 over his last eight contests, and it looks like he's settling in with the Cubs after struggling initially following the trade that brought him to Chicago in July. Paredes has become a key cog in his new team's offensive attack lately.

  • Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Platooning with Lux

    Hernandez will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against Atlanta, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Hernandez will occupy second base for the second time in three games, with both of his starts coming against left-handed pitchers. He appears to have emerged as the preferred platoon partner at the keystone for the left-handed-hitting Gavin Lux.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Return unclear

    Hayes (back) is set to resume light baseball activity, MLB.com reports.

    Hayes has been sidelined since Aug. 19 and has been working to strengthen his core for a potential return. He is expected to start playing catch soon, though his return this season appears to be in jeopardy. The team has not officially decided whether Hayes will play again in 2024.
