Peraza (knee) could be available to play at some point during Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Peraza is not starting the first game of the double dip, which is the second straight contest he's been absent from the lineup. The swelling in his left knee has gone down, though, and while it doesn't sound like he'll start the nightcap, he should be available off the bench. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is handling third base in the first game.

Peraza (knee) remains out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Peraza hasn't started since Saturday while dealing with a lingering left knee issue. It's possible he'll be ready to start the second game of the double dip, although that has not been confirmed. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is handling third base for the first game Tuesday.

Rivera exited Monday's win over the Mets with a shoulder injury, MLB.com reports.

Rivera, who started at third base, made an awkward attempt to catch a foul ball near the stands while running into the tarp. He stayed in the game for another inning before being removed. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo believes Rivera is fine and described him as day-to-day. He was replaced at third base by Jace Peterson.

Henderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Monday's 11-5 win over the Cardinals.

Henderson has three homers, 10 RBI and eight extra-base hits while going 15-for-49 (.306) over his last 10 games. The rookie infielder padded the Orioles' lead with his sixth-inning solo shot Monday. He's up to 25 homers 75 RBI, 87 runs scored and nine stolen bases while slashing .257/.328/.492 over 132 contests in his first full big-league campaign.

Muncy went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 11-8 loss to the Padres.

Muncy has homered three times in his last four games while adding six RBI in that span. The infielder continues to display solid power with 35 long balls and a .493 slugging percentage through 120 contests this season. He's added 97 RBI, 84 runs scored and a stolen base despite batting a meager .208, though his on-base percentage is a respectable .331.

Machado went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 11-8 win over the Dodgers.

Machado has hit safely in seven of nine games in September, going 12-for-38 (.316) with four multi-hit efforts. The third baseman popped a solo shot in the fourth inning and a two-run blast in the sixth to help the Padres pull off a comeback Monday. For the season, he's up to 28 homers, 84 RBI, 72 runs scored, three stolen bases and a .252/.315/.460 slash line over 128 contests. Machado continues to serve as San Diego's designated hitter while playing through tennis elbow.

Peraza is being considered day-to-day due to swelling in his left knee, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Peraza underwent an MRI on Sunday that came back clean, but he'll still be monitored closely moving forward. The team should know more about his availability for Tuesday's doubleheader after evaluating him in the morning.

Paredes (hand) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Paredes did not play Sunday after leaving Saturday's contest with a bruised hand, and he will remain in a reserve role for at least one more day. Jonathan Aranda will get another start at third base Monday night.

Chapman (finger) took groundballs, threw to bases and hit in the batting cage Monday, Ethan Diamandas of SI.com reports.

Chapman has been performing baseball activities for a few days, and he will repeat Monday's workout Tuesday. The report add that "it's about pain tolerance at this point" for Chapman, but he won't return from the 10-day injured list "until he can comfortably hit" against a high-velocity pitching machine.

The Brewers selected Donaldson's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Monday. He'll start at third base and bat fifth in the Brewers' series opener with the Marlins.

Milwaukee transferred reliever J.C. Mejia (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL to clear room on the 40-man roster for Donaldson, who went 3-for-17 with two home runs and five walks in five games for Nashville after inking a minor-league deal with the Brewers on Aug. 31. Prior to catching on with Milwaukee, Donaldson hit .142 with 10 home runs in 120 plate appearances for the Yankees before landing on the injured list July 16 with a right calf strain and then getting cut loose in late August when he completed a minor-league rehab assignment. Donaldson will likely be ticketed for a short-side platoon role at either designated hitter or third base initially, but the 37-year-old could earn more opportunities against right-handed pitching if he fares well in his initial action with Milwaukee.
