Davis isn't starting Thursday against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After going 2-for-11 with an RBI and three runs scored across his last four games, Davis will get a day to rest Thursday. His absence will allow Wilmer Flores to start at third base and bat second.

Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Cleveland.

Urias started Wednesday in Houston, but he's now been in the lineup just three times over the Orioles' last 10 contests. Adam Frazier is at second base and Jordan Westburg will patrol third Thursday.

Vargas isn't in the Nationals' lineup Thursday against Atlanta, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Although the switch-hitting Vargas holds a .773 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season, he'll get a day off against Max Fried on Thursday. Carter Kieboom will start at third base instead while batting fifth.

Peraza is not in the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Peraza will get a day of rest after making seven straight starts at third base while going 6-for-27 (.222) with a homer and a double. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is manning the hot corner for the Yankees in Thursday's series finale versus Toronto.

Donaldson is not in the lineup Thursday at St. Louis.

This looks to be a planned day of rest for the 37-year-old third baseman, who slugged a three-run homer in the Brewers' 8-2 win over the Cardinals on Wednesday. Andruw Monasterio will man the hot corner and bat sixth in Thursday's series finale.

Muncy went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Tigers.

Muncy's blast got the Dodgers on the board in the sixth inning against Tigers starter Reese Olson. It also extended Muncy's hitting streak to 11 games, though he's gone 13-for-43 (.302) with just two multi-hit efforts in that span. The infielder matched his career high with his 36th homer of the season, and he's got a decent chance to set a new personal best with 11 contests left on the schedule. He's added a .213/.335/.496 slash line with 102 RBI, 89 runs scored, a stolen base, 16 doubles and a triple through 126 games this season.

Hayes went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's 13-7 win over the Cubs.

Hayes has five multi-hit efforts over his last seven games, going 13-for-29 (.448) in that span. He's produced one home run, five RBI and a stolen base in that span. The third baseman has been steady this season, batting .276 with a .771 OPS, 14 homers, 60 RBI, 59 runs scored and 10 stolen bases through 116 contests overall. With his three-hit effort Wednesday, he now has a career-high 126 hits for the season.

Triolo went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 13-7 win over the Cubs.

Triolo has gone 6-for-23 (.261) over eight games since he was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sept. 6. This was his first game with an RBI in that span. The infielder is slashing .271/.350/.340 with two homers, 18 RBI, 21 runs scored and four stolen bases through 163 plate appearances this season. He doesn't have an everyday role, but he can provide cover around the infield for the Pirates.

Donaldson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Cardinals.

Donaldson set the tone early with a first-inning blast, and that was all the Brewers would need for the win. He's gone 7-for-32 (.219) with two homers, seven RBI and four runs scored through nine games with Milwaukee since joining the big club Sept. 11. For the season, the veteran third baseman has a .159/.248/.442 slash line with 12 homers, 22 RBI, 17 runs scored and no stolen bases through 43 contests between the Brewers and Yankees.

Gelof went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Mariners.

He took George Kirby deep in the fourth inning to get Oakland on the board, but Gelof's squad was already down 2-0 at that point. The rookie second baseman is batting .310 (22-for-71) in September as he puts the finishing touches on an impressive MLB debut that has seen him rack up 13 homers and 13 steals in just 59 games.
