Suarez has homered three times in his last two contests, giving him 45 long balls this season, four shy of his career high.

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

    Karros will hit the bench for the first time since Aug. 21, ending a streak of 14 consecutive starts during which he slashed .235/.273/.255 with no home runs, no steals, five runs and two RBI. Orlando Arcia will cover third base while Karros rests Sunday.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Receiving Sunday off

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

    With Brett Baty occupying third base and Juan Soto filling the designated-hitter spot, Vientos will exit the lineup for the first time since Aug. 16. While starting the previous 19 games, Vientos slashed .310/.390/.761 with nine home runs, 24 RBI and 16 runs.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Taking seat against lefty

    Barger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    After starting the last three contests, Barger will hit the bench while the Yankees send southpaw Max Fried to the hill. Barger is slashing just .230/.278/.351 over 79 plate appearances versus lefties on the season.

  • Cam Devanney 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Cam Devanney: Heading to bench Sunday

    Devanney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Devanney will take a seat for the series finale after he went 2-for-17 with a 1:9 BB:K while starting five of the previous six games. With Devanney on the bench, Jared Triolo will slide over from his usual spot at shortstop and pick up a start at third base.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Set for Monday return

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Muncy (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Rockies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Muncy has been on the IL since Aug. 15 due to a right oblique strain and had his recovery program briefly slowed down by an illness, but he looks ready to rejoin the big club after playing three rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City from Thursday through Saturday while going 2-for-7 with two walks and a run. Enrique Hernandez and Miguel Rojas have been sharing work at third base of late, but Muncy should step back in as an everyday option at the position once he's activated.

  • Miguel Vargas 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Could return Tuesday

    Manager Will Venable said Saturday he "wouldn't be surprised" to see Vargas (hand) be activated from the 10-day injured list during a three-game series against the Rays that starts Tuesday.

    Vargas has been on the shelf since Aug. 29 due to a sprained left hand he sustained during a collision with a baserunner while playing first base. According to Venable, Vargas' rehab has been going well, and the 25-year-old could rejoin the active roster as soon as Tuesday.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Closing in on 40 steals

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a double, a stolen base, a run scored and was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays.

    The Guardians made Shane Baz pay for the HBP in the fourth inning, as Ramirez stole second base and scored Cleveland's first run. The stolen base was his first in 16 games and 37th of the season, putting him within reach of a second consecutive campaign with at least 40 steals.

  • Nathan Eaton LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Scores lone run in loss

    Eaton started in right field and went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Eaton doubled and scored Boston's lone run in the third inning. He made a second consecutive start in right field, as manager Alex Cora copes with the loss of Roman Anthony (oblique). Of note, Wilyer Abreu (calf) ran twice over the weekend and came out feeling good. He could be activated later this week, at which point he would become the primary starter in right field.

  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Adjusting defensively to outfield

    Alexander started at third base before moving to left field Saturday, going 0-for-3 with an RBI in a 5-1 win over Boston.

    Alexander made the defensive switch in the seventh inning. One inning later, he robbed Alex Bregman of a home run despite never having played the outfield in the majors before this past week. He's made three outfield starts and could soon gain fantasy eligibility at the position depending on league requirements. Alexander is slashing .234/.332/.431 with seven home runs, a .197 ISO and 22 RBI over 167 at-bats.
