Hayes is absent from the lineup for Thursday's tilt against the Cubs.

It's a routine day off for Hayes, who started the previous five games and 14 of the last 15 contests. Jared Triolo is handling third base and batting ninth for the Pirates.

Hayes went 2-for-3 with a run scored and two stolen bases Wednesday against the Marlins.

Hayes' overall numbers remain poor, but he has shown some improvement in June. Across nine games, he has gone 9-for-31 with two RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases. While that's still underwhelming for fantasy purposes, he is up to eight swiped bags on the season and is pacing toward his highest total since 2022.

Mauricio is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

Mauricio will take a seat after he had made starts in each of the last five games -- three at third base, one at shortstop and one at designated hitter -- while going 5-for-16 with a home run, a double, two walks, two stolen bases and three additional runs. Though he doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role at any one position, Mauricio's ability to fit in at three infield spots or at DH will allow the Mets to find him at least semi-regular at-bats so long as he remains productive at the plate.

Marte (oblique) is targeting June 20 to begin a rehab assignment but needs to get an MRI before being cleared, MLB.com reports.

Marte recently began hitting soft tosses in the batting cage at the team's complex in Goodyear (Ariz.), which signaled a rehab assignment was imminent. He's been sidelined on the 10-day injured list since early May.

Suarez went 3-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Mariners.

Suarez notched his first three-hit performance since May 25, highlighted by what proved to be a game-winning grand slam in the sixth inning. The third baseman has opened June on a power surge, going deep four times with two doubles through the first 10 games of the month. On the year, he's slashing .233/.305/.514 with 19 home runs, 52 RBI, 41 runs scored and one steal across 279 plate appearances.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Cubs.

Shifted back to third base after starting four straight games at first base to cover for Bryce Harper (wrist), Bohm delivered his third straight multi-hit performance Wednesday while setting a season high in RBI. The 28-year-old capped the scoring for the Phillies on the afternoon with a solo shot off Genesis Cabrera in the seventh inning. Since the beginning of May, Bohm is batting a blistering .333 (47-for-141) in 37 contests with all six of his homers on the year, plus 16 runs and 20 RBI.

McMahon is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Giants.

The left-handed-hitting McMahon will get a breather as the Giants send southpaw Robbie Ray to the hill. Orlando Arcia will hold down third base and bat sixth for the Rockies.

Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Wade had started each of the last three games in left field and went 2-for-7 with a triple and three RBI, but he'll give way to Gavin Sheets while Xander Bogaerts gets a day out of the infield and serves as the Padres' designated hitter. Until Jason Heyward (oblique) returns from the injured list, Wade could serve as the Padres' primary option in left field, at least against right-handed pitching.

Kemp is starting at first base in Wednesday's game against the Cubs and is expected to mostly play that position for the Phillies while Bryce Harper (wrist) is sidelined, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Kemp's first four major-league starts came at third base, but the Phillies have decided to move Alec Bohm back to the hot corner and install Kemp at first base. The 25-year-old Kemp's playing time at first base in the minors has been relatively limited, although he has made seven starts at the position this season with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Arenado went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and three total RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Arenado singled in his first two plate appearances, with the second of those plating a run. In the eighth, he turned on a high fastball from Chad Green and put it just over the left-field wall. The long ball was the eighth for Arenado, who is on an 85-RBI pace despite an underwhelming .242/.304/.394 batting line.
