Machado went 4-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in Sunday's 9-2 win at St. Louis.

The San Diego third baseman is now riding a streak of five games with multiple hits, as he knocked his 26th and 27th two-baggers of the season off Cardinals starter Michael McGreevy. This performance marks the 25th time Machado has collected four or more hits in a game during his 14-year career. The seven-time All-Star is now slashing .300/.360/.506 with 19 homers, 66 RBI and 61 runs scored in 453 total plate appearances.

Schmitt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Schmitt will take a seat for the second Sunday in a row, breaking a streak of four consecutive starts. Brett Wisely will check in at second base in place of Schmitt.

Vientos is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Vientos went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's win over San Francisco to extend his hit streak to six games, but he's not in the starting nine for Sunday's series finale. Starling Marte will bat sixth as the designated hitter against Giants lefty Matt Gage, who is serving as an opener ahead of righty Carson Seymour.

Moncada (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Moncada is nursing a right hand contusion after he was knocked out of Saturday's 7-2 loss when he was struck by a pitch. Fortunately for Moncada, X-rays came back negative, so the Angels are optimistic that he'll be able to return to the lineup after getting at least one day off. Kevin Newman will spell Moncada at third base Sunday.

The Nationals recalled Tena from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

The 24-year-old is filling the roster spot vacated by Amed Rosario, who was traded to the Yankees on Saturday. Tena has a .690 OPS over 154 plate appearances in the big leagues this season and should serve as a utility infielder while up in the majors.

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

House will hit the bench for the first time in a week and for just the second time in the Nationals' last 12 games. Paul DeJong will fill in at third base in place of House, who has generated a .288/.294/.424 slash line with two home runs, one stolen base, eight RBI and 10 runs in 17 games dating back to the start of July.

Urias will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Urias will stick in the starting nine for the fifth time in six games, going 5-for-18 with three doubles, three walks, one RBI and one run to begin the second half of the season. Four of those five starts have come against left-handed pitching, so Urias may still be viewed as more of a part-time player against righties.

Jung went 2-for-3 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

Jung helped erase Atlanta's early lead when he singled in the game-tying run in the Rangers' two-run second inning. That gave Jung at least one hit in all five games since his return to the majors. The third baseman is 7-for-14 with three walks, a home run, two RBI and five runs scored since rejoining the MLB roster.

Vientos went 1-for-3 with a two-RBI double in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Giants.

Vientos made his lone hit count Saturday, delivering a two-run double in the sixth inning that provided all the offense the Mets needed in their 2-1 win. It's been a rocky follow-up to his breakout 2024 campaign, but the third baseman is currently riding a six-game hitting streak and has doubled in back-to-back games. This season, he's slashing .226/.280/.358 with 20 extra-base hits and 27 RBI over 74 games. By comparison, through his first 74 regular-season games last year, Vientos had a .275/.333/.557 line with 36 extra-base hits (17 doubles, 19 homers) and 48 RBI.

Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Mariners.

Rengifo has put together a steady July, batting .279 (24-for-86) for the month. That hasn't come with much other production -- he has just four extra-base hits, all of which are doubles, during the month, and he's added a 3:19 BB:K. He's mired in a 29-game homer drought and has just four home runs and three steals while slashing .241/.281/.319 through 98 contests this season.
