Reimer (groin) has gone 3-for-16 with one walk, four RBI and three runs in four games for Double-A Binghamton since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Reimer had been on the shelf since June 18 while recovering from a groin strain. The 22-year-old third baseman has turned in a .212/.318/.379 slash line with six home runs and 12 stolen bases over 54 games with Binghamton on the season.

Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox.

Ramirez returned to the lineup after getting Saturday off and made an immediate impact with a run-scoring single in Cleveland's two-run first inning. A sore hand caused him to miss two games in the middle of last week, and there was concern the soreness was related to the surgery he underwent on the same hand in June and led to Saturday's day off. Since returning from the orignal hand injury, Ramirez has gone 12-for-52 (.231) with eight walks, five steals, three RBI and 10 runs scored over 15 contests.

Vargas went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and two walks Sunday against the Guardians.

Vargas earned a one-out walk in the third inning and was able to come around to score, accounting for his key production in Sunday's win. He has hit just .195 since the All-Star break but has still found ways to be productive by hitting three home runs and scoring 14 runs across 22 games.

Sanoja went 2-for-4 with three RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Angels.

Sanoja delivered an RBI single in the fourth inning before driving in two more in the fifth. The 23-year-old has now hit safely in seven of eight August contests, going 10-for-27 with five extra-base hits and seven RBI during that stretch. On the year, he's slashing .274/.312/.411 with four homers, 42 RBI, 29 runs scored and six stolen bases across 318 plate appearances.

Bichette went 5-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 11-1 victory over the Pirates.

Bichette led the Mets' 15-hit barrage Sunday, as the third baseman matched a career high with five hits. Bichette has gone 11-for-26 (.423) with three doubles and a home run over his last six games. Overall, he's slashing .263/.307/.378 with 11 homers, 59 RBI, 57 runs scored and a stolen base across 511 plate appearances this season.

Bregman went 3-for-6 with a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Royals.

Bregman has mostly underwhelmed in his first season with the Cubs, but he turned back the clock with a productive performance Sunday. The veteran third baseman historically plays better down the stretch, and he should remain in the lineup most days as Chicago jockeys for playoff positioning. Bregman is now slashing .263/,317/.395 with a home run, six RBI and six runs scored across nine games this month.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro said that Garcia (hand) could resume his rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha as soon as Wednesday, Pete Grathoff of The Kansas City Star reports.

Garcia was scheduled to take part in fielding drills Sunday, and if the workout goes well, he'll get the green light to return to action at Triple-A after he was previously pulled off his assignment when he experienced renewed discomfort in his strained left hand following a July 28 appearance. Nick Loftin has been serving as the Royals' primary third baseman in recent weeks, but he'll likely be ticketed for a utility role once Garcia completes his rehab assignment and is ready for activation.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Muncy went 0-for-6 with a walk and four strikeouts in the first two games of the series, and he'll take a seat against Arizona lefty Eduardo Rodriguez in the finale. Enrique Hernandez will step in at the hot corner Sunday for the Dodgers.

Donovan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

The Mariners will keep the left-handed-hitting Donovan on the bench Sunday and go with Weston Wilson at third base while southpaw Ian Seymour draws the start for the Rays. Since returning from the injured list Tuesday, Donovan has started in four of six contests while going 2-for-13 at the dish.

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

Fermin will be included in the lineup for the sixth time in seven games, with four of those starts coming against right-handed pitching. He could be emerging as the preferred option at third base, as rookie Blaze Jordan (122 wRC+ versus lefties, 52 wRC+ versus righties) has struggled against same-handed pitching this season.
