The Rangers placed Duran on the paternity list Tuesday.

Duran will be allowed to miss up to three games while he spends time with his growing family, and he's expected to take over for Josh Jung (wrist) as the Rangers' primary third baseman once he returns. In the meantime, Dustin Harris and Matt Duffy will come up from Triple-A Round Rock to help replenish Texas' infield depth.

The Rangers placed Jung on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right wrist tendinitis.

Jung's wrist has kept him sidelined for nearly a week, and his move to the IL will officially rule him out for the remainder of the season. With Ezequiel Duran away on paternity leave, Matt Duffy and Dustin Harris will come up from the minors and may see time at third base during the final week of the season.

Duran isn't in Texas' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

After going 6-for-13 with an RBI during the Rangers' last series against Seattle, Duran will catch a breather to begin Tuesday's series opener. In his absence, Jonathan Ornelas will start at third base and bat ninth.

Muncy (side) is starting at third base and batting fifth Tuesday against the Padres, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

The third baseman was scratched from the lineup Sunday against the Rockies due to side soreness, but he's ready to play following Monday's team off day. Muncy started off September by going 0-for-11, but he has a .286/.446/.643 slash line with three doubles, four homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs in his past 14 games.

Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Tuesday's game against Houston.

The left-handed-hitting Rojas will step out of the lineup Tuesday while southpaw Framber Valdez starts on the mound for the Astros. Dylan Moore will man the hot corner instead and bat ninth.

Hernaiz was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Hernaiz was optioned at the end of August after playing in 20 games in his return from the 60-day injured list. He now rejoins the big-league club after posting an .836 OPS in Triple-A since then. In a corresponding move, Ryan Noda was optioned to Double-A Midland.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday that Riley (hand) won't return this season, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game Atlanta reports.

The 27-year-old underwent a CT scan Monday which showed that his hand fracture is healing slower than expected, which will prevent Riley from having a chance to take the field again this season. Atlanta is currently 1.5 games back of the final wild-card spot in the National League, but Riley won't be an option to play even if the team makes a playoff run. The third baseman closes out 2024 with 19 homers, 56 RBI, 63 runs and a .256/.322/.461 slash line in 110 games.

Sosa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels.

Sosa had started each of the previous 10 games at second base but will begin this one on the bench. Nicky Lopez will handle the keystone and bat leadoff for the White Sox.

Jung is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Jung has now been absent from the Tigers' lineup for seven of the last 10 games. The rookie has just a .675 OPS and 31.5 percent strikeout rate in his first 31 big-league contests. Zach McKinstry is handling third base Tuesday as manager A.J. Hinch continues to mix and match at the hot corner.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run, a triple, a walk and three RBI in Monday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Chapman has gone 4-for-11 since his stint on the paternity list, with three of the hits since his return being homers. The third baseman is up to 27 long balls this year, a total he's reached in three of the last four seasons. He has a .249/.332/.466 slash line, 78 RBI, 96 runs scored, 15 stolen bases, 36 doubles and two triples over 149 contests.
