White went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Tigers.

White had gone 0-for-13 with five strikeouts over his previous three games. This was his fifth multi-hit effort so far, including three games of at least three hits, since he made his big-league debut July 17. Overall, he's batting .304 with a .667 OPS, but he has no home runs, two doubles, no RBI and seven runs scored across his first 14 contests in the majors.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 12-8 win over the Guardians.

Arenado walked and scored in the seventh inning before adding a solo shot in the eighth. The veteran third baseman entered Saturday having gone hitless in six of his previous seven contests, though he's still posted an .846 OPS with three home runs and 11 RBI in 15 games since the All-Star break. On the season, he's slashing .244/.323/.425 with 15 homers, 51 RBI, 51 runs scored and three steals across 406 plate appearances.

Vivas was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

With left-hander Martin Perez now set to toe the slab for Atlanta instead of Reynaldo Lopez (knee), the Nationals will exchange the lefty-hitting Vivas for the right-handed bat of Brady House.

Chapman (abdomen) will not be activated during San Francisco's weekend series against the Padres, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The Giants were optimistic that Chapman would return sometime this weekend, but the 33-year-old said Saturday that he is still feeling discomfort while running. He's set to be reevaluated Saturday, so an updated timeline for his return could be available in the near future. In the meantime, Christian Koss will continue to serve as San Francisco's primary third baseman.

The Marlins optioned Pauley to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Pauley appeared in four games after being recalled July 19, during which he went 3-for-9 with an RBI and two strikeouts. He'll now return to the minor leagues in order to make room on the active roster for Owen Caissie (calf), who returned from the injured list Saturday. With a .529 OPS through 106 MLB plate appearances this year, Pauley is unlikely to be a significant contributor for the Marlins if he makes it back to the big leagues.

Jimenez (illness) will start at third base and bat fifth Saturday against the Mets.

Jimenez has been out since Wednesday due to a stomach illness, but he now seems to be feeling better and will pick up a start at the hot corner against southpaw Zac Thornton.

Rosario went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 2-0 win over the Cubs on Friday.

Rosario plated the first run in the low-scoring affair with a 450-foot solo shot to center field in the fourth inning. The utility man went deep on both the first and the last day of July but batted just .148 with no long balls and no RBI while striking out at a horrid 53.6 percent rate over 15 games in between. Rosario has started at third base four of the past five times New York has faced a left-handed starter and appears to be holding down the short side of a platoon at the hot corner with Ryan McMahon.

Guzman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Friday's 6-2 loss to the Brewers.

It was a quiet day for the Angels' offense overall, with the only scoring coming via Guzman's two-run shot during the fifth inning. This was the fifth homer of the season for the 22-year-old, who has taken over as the primary third baseman with six starts in the past seven games. He's yet to take advantage of the regular playing time and has a .519 OPS in 10 contests since the All-Star break.

Gonzales went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Friday against the Reds.

Gonzales jump-started the Pirates' offense in the first inning with a two-RBI single, extending his hitting streak to 15 games. He's hit .379 in that span, also collecting eight RBI and 11 runs scored to go along with two home runs. Gonzales' performance at the plate was overshadowed by a defensive miscue that cost the Pirates a win, but he should remain the team's primary third baseman for at least the next month with Konnor Griffin (finger) sidelined.

Gelof (knee) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Las Vegas, per MLB.com.

Gelof has been on the injured list since July 10 due to a right knee laceration but has continued to make progress in his recovery, taking part in a running progression and baseball activities. Provided no setbacks arise, the 26-year-old likely won't need a lengthy rehab assignment and should return to the big-league club in early August. Before hitting the shelf, Gelof slashed .273/.327/.476 with 11 home runs, 29 RBI, 41 runs and eight stolen bases across 67 contests.
