Candelario (back) played catch on the field at Great American Ball Park on Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Candelario has been shelved since late April with a lumbar spine strain and last week was given an epidural to help speed along the recovery process. He's finally ready to begin ramping things back up, but a timetable for the infielder's return has not yet been established.

Tena went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Mets.

The 24-year-old has been filling in at second base the last two games while Luis Garcia (paternity leave) has been away from the team, leaving third base to Amed Rosario. Tena should shift back to the strong side of a platoon at the hot corner once Garcia is back, but his hold on the job may be tenuous. Through 10 games in May, Tena is batting just .214 (6-for-28) with one steal, one run and three RBI, and he's still looking for his first homer of 2025.

Rosario will start at second base and bat second in Thursday's game against Atlanta.

Rosario will draw a third consecutive start out of the Washington infield, but his run of regular playing time will likely come to an end during this weekend's series in Baltimore. Luis Garcia (personal) is expected to be activated from the paternity list Friday and should take back an everyday role at second base, leaving Rosario to fend with Jose Tena for playing time at third base.

Muncy went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.

The third baseman was on his way to a hitless performance but instead broke the game open in the eighth inning with a three-run shot to right field. It's just the second home run of the year for Muncy, who is batting .191/.310/.305 through 40 games this year. He's never provided a high-average bat, but Muncy has yet to consistently find his power stroke in 2025 with a .114 ISO and 29.0 percent strikeout rate, both of which would be career worsts for a full season.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in a 14-7 loss to the Cardinals in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Bohm brought the Phillies back within two runs in the fourth inning, but that was as close as they'd get before the Cardinals rallied late. Power has been a problem for Bohm this season -- he doubled his total of extra-base hits in May with a homer and a double in this contest. However, he's been more consistent at the plate lately, going 15-for-42 (.357) over 12 contests this month. Overall, he's batting .258 with a .650 OPS, two homers, 13 RBI, 16 runs scored, six doubles, one triple and a stolen base over 40 games.

Hayes is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Mets on Wednesday.

Hayes has five multi-hit games since the beginning of May and has gone 14-for-48 (.292) with two stolen bases and two RBI over that span. He'll begin Wednesday's game in the dugout while Jared Triolo starts at the hot corner and bats ninth.

Double-A Hartford placed Karros on its 7-day injured list May 6 due to an unspecified issue.

Karros hasn't played since May 2. The 22-year-old third base prospect produced a .333/.447/.513 slash line to go with two home runs and four stolen bases across 94 plate appearances with Hartford before being shut down.

Norby went 2-for-4 with a triple, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs.

The third baseman extended his hitting streak to eight games with a fifth-inning three-bagger before taking Julian Merryweather deep in the seventh -- Norby's second homer of the year. After making a belated start to the campaign due to an oblique strain, Norby seems to be finding his rhythm, and through 83 plate appearances he's slashing .269/.313/.436 with four steals, six RBI and 14 runs.

Hayes went 2-for-4 with a triple and a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Mets.

While the Pirates' overall offensive malaise prevented Hayes from adding any other fantasy-friendly stats to his ledger, he continues to be one of the most consistent hitters in the lineup. The third baseman hasn't gone consecutive games without a hit since mid-April, and over his last 22 contests he's slashing .310/.341/.356 with two steals and seven RBI, but somehow only one run scored.

Berti is not in the Cubs' lineup against the Marlins on Tuesday.

Berti has been sitting for roughly one game per series since April 27. He will likely start in Wednesday's rubber match after playing in Monday's 5-2 victory over Miami. Nicky Lopez will start at third base and bat ninth with Berti on the bench.
