McMahon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

McMahon will head to the bench for the first time since making his team debut July 26 and going 9-for-32 (.281average) with two doubles, five RBI and three runs through his first nine starts. Though he'll be taking a seat Monday while left-hander Patrick Corbin toes the rubber for the Rangers, the left-handed-hitting McMahon won't necessarily be used as a strict platoon player.

Astros general manager Dana Brown said Monday that Paredes received a platelet-rich plasma injection for his strained right hamstring and will treat the injury through rest and rehab in an attempt to return from the 10-day injured list later this season, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Brown noted that Paredes was given the option of undergoing surgery to address the severe hamstring strain or rehabbing the injury instead, and the 26-year-old opted for the latter route. Though surgery would likely provide a more permanent fix for his hamstring, a procedure would carry a recovery timeline of six-plus months, which would have put Paredes' availability for the start of the 2026 season in jeopardy. Even though Paredes will attempt to resume baseball activities once the PRP injection takes effect, the Astros' acquisitions of infielders Carlos Correa and Ramon Urias ahead of last week's trade deadline suggest that they aren't banking on Paredes providing much of a contribution down the stretch. The Astros are unlikely to put a timeline on Paredes' return from the IL until he begins taking part in full activities.

Jung (calf) will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Monday's game versus the Yankees.

Jung missed each of the previous four contests with a sore calf, but he's feeling well enough to at least serve as a hitter in Monday's series opener. The 27-year-old is slashing .367/.424/.567 with two home runs in nine games since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on July 21.

Baty is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

For the first time since the All-Star break, the left-handed-hitting Baty will hit the bench while the Mets face a right-handed starter (Slade Cecconi). Absences from the lineup against righties could begin to become the norm for Baty, who will face more competition for reps in the infield with Thursday's acquisition of center fielder Cedric Mullins expected to result in Jeff McNeil seeing the majority of his playing time at second base moving forward. With both McNeil (.774 OPS versus righties) and Ronny Mauricio (.886 OPS) outproducing Baty (.729 OPS) in those matchups this season, Baty no longer looks like the top choice to pick up starts at either the keystone or third base.

Arcia is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Blue Jays.

Arcia has received the lion's share of playing time at third base since the Rockies traded Ryan McMahon to the Yankees on July 25, but he'll get a breather Monday. Kyle Farmer will fill in at the hot corner and bat ninth for Colorado.

Atlanta recalled Alvarez from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Alvarez will head back to the big leagues after third baseman Austin Riley was placed on the 10-day injured list for the second time in just over three weeks due to a strained lower abdominal muscle. During Riley's first stint on the IL, Alvarez impressed defensively but slashed just .200/.250/.233 with a 1:9 BB:K, two runs and no RBI in eight games. He should settle back in as the team's primary option at the hot corner while Riley is out, but fantasy expectations for the 22-year-old should be low, given his struggles in his prior stint in the majors.

Atlanta placed Riley on the 10-day injured list Monday with a strained lower abdominal muscle.

Riley spent a couple weeks on the injured list in July with an abdominal strain and is now back on the IL after aggravating the injury Sunday. He will be eligible for activation Aug. 14, but Atlanta will likely be more cautious with his recovery this time around. Nacho Alvarez was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to step in as the everyday third baseman.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

Ramirez belted his 23rd home run of the year in the first inning Sunday. He's gone deep in two straight games and has 10 long balls over his last 26 appearances. Ramirez has also collected multiple hits in six of his last 10 appearances, vaulting his season average up to .302. He now owns a .910 OPS with 46 extra-base hits and 61 RBI through 108 games.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that Bohm (rib) fielded ground balls and hit in the batting cage prior to Sunday's game against the Tigers, MLB.com reports.

Thomson noted that Bohm is pain-free as he works his way back from a fractured left rib and is drawing closer to beginning a rehab assignment. Since Bohm was placed on the injured list July 19, the Phillies have been getting by with a combination of Otto Kemp and Edmundo Sosa at third base.

Manager Brian Snitker said after Sunday's 4-2 win over the Reds in the MLB Speedway Classic in Bristol, Tenn. that Riley (abdomen) will be evaluated in the next day or two before Atlanta decides whether he requires a stint on the injured list, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

After striking out in his lone plate appearance in the game that first started Saturday before it was resumed in the bottom of the first inning Sunday, Riley played two innings in the field before he was lifted for pinch hitter Luke Williams the next time his turn in the batting order came up in the top of the third. Atlanta later relayed that Riley was pulled from the game due to lower abdominal pain, an injury he appeared to suffer when he made a diving tag on Elly De La Cruz to prevent a run in the bottom of the first. Given that Riley was previously on the IL from July 12 through July 25 due to a lower abdominal strain, Riley could be dealing with a related setback that will result in another multi-week shutdown. If Atlanta decides to deactivate Riley, Nacho Alvarez would likely be recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to take over as the team's everyday third baseman.
