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

Raynel Delgado will make his first career MLB start while covering at third base in place of Paredes, who appears to be receiving a routine day off. Paredes had started 15 straight games, slashing .192/.333/.500 with four home runs, 13 RBI and nine runs during that stretch.

Wisdom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

After making five consecutive starts and going 2-for-18 with two walks and a run, Wisdom has been relegated to the bench for the Mariners' subsequent four contests. Miles Mastrobuoni has been the main option at third base since coming off the 60-day injured list Wednesday, but he'll shift into a utility role once J.P. Crawford (hand) makes his return from the 10-day IL on Tuesday. When Crawford gets activated, Wisdom could be at risk of being pushed off the roster.

Mastrobuoni will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Mastrobuoni has gotten five straight starts (four at third base, one at second) while going 3-for-13 with a walk, a stolen base, two runs and an RBI. His run of regular playing time will likely come to an end Tuesday, however, with J.P. Crawford (hand) set to return from the 10-day IL and bump Mastrobuoni into a utility role.

Mayo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Mayo will be on the bench for the third time in five games, with the Orioles having faced right-handed pitchers in each of those contests. He appears to have faded into a timeshare at the position with Blaze Alexander, who will receive the starting nod Sunday. Since the beginning of June, Mayo has slugged three home runs, but he's hitting just .184 and has struck out a 43.6 percent clip.

The Guardians placed Ramirez (hand) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

The move was a foregone conclusion after the seven-time All-Star was diagnosed with a left hamate bone fracture following Saturday's game. Cleveland reinstated Gabriel Arias (wrist) from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move, and he and Daniel Schneemann are likely to be the primary options at third base while Ramirez is sidelined. The Guardians haven't provided an official target date for Ramirez's return, but recovery timelines for hamate bone fractures typically range from four to eight weeks.

Sanoja is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Sanoja will get a breather after he started the last four games -- three at third base, one at shortstop -- and went 2-for-14 with one double, one walk and three runs. Otto Lopez will be back at shortstop after serving as the Marlins' designated hitter Saturday, while Connor Norby receives the nod at the hot corner.

Machado went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 9-3 win against Baltimore on Saturday.

San Diego belted five homers as a team, and Machado capped the long-ball fest with a 429-foot shot to center field in the ninth inning. The star third baseman is still trying to climb out of an early hole and remains saddled with a poor .178/.255/.364 slash line on the campaign. However, Machado does lead San Diego with 12 home runs and 35 RBI, and he's showing signs of busting out of the season-long slump. Over his past four contests, he's gone 6-for-18 with five extra-base hits (four doubles and a homer) along with three RBI.

Lewis went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Cardinals.

The 27-year-old continues to rake since returning to the majors in early June. After an 0-for-3 showing in his first game back, Lewis has hit safely in six straight contests, batting .435 (10-for-23) with two doubles, three homers, four runs and four RBI. Five of those seven starts have come at first base, and that appears to be Lewis' new defensive home while Brooks Lee remains at third base.

Jordan went 2-for-4 with a triple, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Twins.

After a 2-for-4 performance in his big-league debut Friday with a pair of singles, Jordan began flashing his power potential Saturday, leading off the second inning with a triple before crushing a Travis Adams fastball 418 feet to center field in the seventh inning to cap a five-run, three-homer frame for the Cardinals. Jordan was slashing .313/.373/.548 over 57 Triple-A games when he got the call to the majors, and the 23-year-old is making a strong early claim to the starting job at third base.

Gelof went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a stolen base and a second run scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Rockies.

Gelof got the start in right field for this contest. He had been primarily playing second base or third base, but the recent returns of Max Muncy and Jacob Wilson have crowded the infield. Carlos Cortes has also slumped a bit lately, which could leave right field up for grabs. Gelof has been excellent at the plate, hitting safely in 17 straight games. He's gone 23-for-67 (.343) in that span while adding three homers, eight RBI and five doubles. Overall, he's batting .271 with a .791 OPS, nine homers, seven steals, 25 RBI, 30 runs scored, eight doubles and a triple over 54 contests this season.
