Bregman went 3-for-4 with three doubles, a run and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Twins.

Bregman hit three doubles -- two of which drove in runs -- off three different pitchers, giving him an MLB-leading 46 two-baggers on the year. Over his last 15 games Bregman is hitting .421 with four home runs, 14 RBI and 14 runs while sporting a .492 on-base percentage. The 24-year-old's .944 OPS trails only Jose Ramirez (.992) and Matt Carpenter (.956) among MLB third basemen, and he ranks within the top five in just about every other offensive category at the position.

Muncy is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Manager Dave Roberts is stacking right-handed bats against southpaw Jason Vargas, so Muncy will give way to David Freese at first base.

Vargas was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Vargas put together a nice season with Triple-A Reno prior to earning a promotion, slashing .311/.348/.445 with seven homers and 10 stolen bases across 124 games with the Aces. He'll serve as a utility option off the bench for the Diamondbacks over the final month of the season.

Moustakas is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs.

Moustakas will stick on the bench for a second straight game with the Cubs throwing another left-hander in Mike Montgomery. The Brewers face another southpaw (Jose Quintana) in Wednesday's series finale, though manager Craig Counsell may not want to keep Moustakas' bat out of the lineup for a third straight game. Travis Shaw is starting at third base and hitting sixth in this one.

Devers is not starting Tuesday against the Braves, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Reports indicated that Devers would be reduced to a platoon role after returning from a hamstring injury, and those reports look accurate so far. With southpaw Sean Newcomb on the mound, Eduardo Nunez will start at third base in place of Devers.

Anderson is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson will retreat to the bench for what appears to be a routine day off following a string of seven consecutive starts. Miguel Rojas will start at third base and hit fifth in his place.

Devers (hamstring) was activated from the disabled list as expected Tuesday.

Devers had been out since mid-August with a hamstring strain. He's likely stuck in a timeshare with Eduardo Nunez at third base down the stretch.

Donaldson (calf) hit a grand slam in his first rehab game for Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

The third baseman went 1-for-2 with a walk on the day. He had already appeared in a pair of rehab games for High-A Dunedin before being shipped to Cleveland. He'll require a handful more before joining up with his new team, which is expected to happen Sept. 11, the first day he's eligible.

Davis was recalled by the Astros on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Davis appeared in 30 games for the Astros earlier in the season, hitting a disappointing .176/.247/.235. His numbers for Triple-A Fresno are far better, however, as he's hit .342/.406/.583 at that level. He's unlikely to be much more than a bench bat over the final month of the season unless the team suffers a sudden injury crisis.

Longoria went 1-for-4 with a triple and a trio of RBI in Monday's loss to Colorado.

Longoria has gotten off to a strong start in September, providing a triple, a homer and four RBI in three starts. The 32-year-old is currently sitting at 15 homers through 102 games, and has an outside shot of reaching the 20-homer mark despite missing six weeks with a broken hand earlier this year.
