  • Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Patrick Wisdom: Returns to majors

    The Mariners recalled Wisdom from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Following Brendan Donovan's (concussion) placement on the injured list Sunday, Wisdom will get his first look in the majors since mid-June. The 34-year-old is batting 5-for-41 (.122 average) with one homer and 18 strikeouts in 15 big-league games this season.

  • Mariners' Brendan Donovan: Lands on concussion IL

    The Mariners placed Donovan on the 7-day injured list Sunday due to a concussion, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    It's another unfortunate injury for the 29-year-old, who was struck in the head by a baseball in the batting cage prior to Saturday's contest. Donovan will be sidelined for at least the next week as he goes through the concussion protocols. Patrick Wisdom is filling the open roster spot, but it's Weston Wilson starting at third base Sunday against the Cubs.

  • Kyle Karros 3B | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Karros: Returns to concussion IL

    The Rockies placed Karros on the 7-day injured list Sunday due to a concussion.

    The 24-year-old was activated from the concussion IL on Friday but will quickly return after experiencing additional symptoms. Karros will be sidelined for at least another week while he goes through the league's protocols. Ryan Ritter was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move and is starting at second base Sunday against the Guardians, with Willi Castro sliding to the hot corner.

  • Denzer Guzman 3B | LAA

    Angels' Denzer Guzman: Hitting bench Sunday

    Guzman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Vaughn Grissom will draw the start at third base in place of Guzman, who covered the hot corner in the first two contests of the series. Despite handling a near-everyday role, the 22-year-old rookie hasn't provided much to get excited about with a .216/.245/.333 slash line to go with one home run, no steals, seven RBI and six runs through his first 19 games in August.

  • Max Muncy 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: Gaining traction in lineup

    Muncy will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Astros.

    Muncy will stick in the lineup for a sixth straight game after going 3-for-15 with a home run, three walks, three runs and three RBI over the prior five contests. Though he looks to have taken hold of a regular spot in the starting nine with Tyler Soderstrom (hip) lost for the season, Muncy could find himself on the bench more frequently once the Athletics get Denzel Clarke (hamstring) or Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (testicle) back from the injured list.

  • Nick Loftin 3B | KC

    Royals' Nick Loftin: Steps back into regular role

    Loftin will start at third base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Though he looked poised to move back into a utility role after the Royals reinstated Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia from the injured list Monday, Loftin has since settled back into a near-everyday role after Garcia went back on the shelf Friday due to a hamstring strain. Loftin will collect his sixth straight start Sunday after going 2-for-14 with a double, a triple, four walks and an RBI over the previous five contests.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Idle against lefty

    Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    The left-handed hitter will retreat to the bench while the Royals send southpaw Daniel Lynch to the hill. Corey Julks will get a turn as the DH while Keith is out of the lineup.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Taking seat Sunday

    Baty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Baty will hit the bench after starting the last three games at three different positions. Though he doesn't have a defensive home, Baty should play fairly regularly against right-handed pitching while Juan Soto (calf) remains sidelined.

  • Brady House 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Brady House: Taking seat Sunday

    House is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    After starting at third base in each of the last three games while going 2-for-8 with three walks, House will take a seat for the series finale while Jorbit Vivas mans the hot corner. House has put together a modest .699 OPS over 24 second-half games with the Nationals, but that may be enough to give him in the edge in playing time over Vivas, who is slashing just .214/.324/.250 over that same timeframe.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: On bench with lower-body tightness

    Bohm is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to what interim manager Don Mattingly described as hamstring or groin tightness, Cory Nidoh of PhillySportsNetwork.com reports.

    Bohm went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI in Saturday's 12-3 win before making a late exit due to what appears to be a minor injury. Though Bohm won't start Sunday, Mattingly downplayed most of the concern about the first baseman's health, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Kyle Schwarber will draw the start at first base in the series finale, but Bohm could appear at some point off the bench, if needed.
