Kieboom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Kieboom will cede third base to Ildemaro Vargas for the series finale after starting in each of the past five games. Since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Rochester on Aug. 20, Kieboom has gotten on base at a .275 clip in 10 games, but he's showcased some good power (three home runs and a double). The Nationals will likely give Kieboom an extended look as their everyday third baseman down the stretch.

Lipcius went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 10-0 win over the White Sox.

Lipcius connected in the first inning against Chicago starter Mike Clevinger, giving him his first home run at the MLB level in his second game after hitting 11 long balls for Triple-A Toledo this season across 97 games. The 25-year-old looks mostly like a depth option for the Tigers at this point, though they could give him more playing time down the stretch as they turn their focus to 2024.

Madrigal is starting at third base and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Madrigal received a breather Saturday amid a 1-for-12 slump, but he'll return to the lineup Sunday. The infielder is still batting a solid .270 this season, though he's mostly a contact hitter with only two home runs through 79 games.

Peraza went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Astros.

Getting another start at second base in place of Gleyber Torres (back) and batting eighth, Peraza was the only Yankee to collect multiple hits on the night -- a surprising turn of events considering that prior to Saturday's eruption, the 23-year-old had gone just 2-for-33 (.061) in 10 games since his late August promotion. Peraza isn't one of the bigger names among the Baby Bombers currently filling the New York lineup, but after posting a .268/.357/.479 slash line in 300 plate appearances at Triple-A this season with 14 homers and 16 steals, he could still be part of the franchise's future, especially if Torres gets shifted off the keystone next season.

Candelario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 loss against the Reds.

The switch-hitting infielder broke a scoreless tie with his seventh-inning solo shot, chasing Cincinnati starter Andrew Abbott from the game. Candelario came into the contest amid a 2-for-29 (.069) slide across his previous nine games; however, Saturday's home run gave the 29-year-old a career-high 20, and his season-long batting average now sits at .259 with 37 doubles, 66 RBI, 72 runs scored and eight steals across 529 plate appearances.

Vientos had to be lifted from Saturday's game versus the Mariners because of right foot soreness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Vientos evidently was bothered by a sore foot during his recent injured list stint due to left wrist tendinitis, and the foot issue flared up on him while running the bases Saturday. He'll be re-evaluated Sunday. Vientos cranked a solo home run and reached base three times Saturday before exiting.

Davis (hand) is serving as the Giants' designated hitter and batting sixth Saturday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Left hand soreness kept Davis out of Friday's lineup, but the issue seems to have subsided ahead of Saturday's contest. The 30-year-old is 4-for-16 with two RBI and four runs scored across his last five games.

The Tigers recalled Nevin from Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Nevin is slashing .326/.400/.543 with 58 RBI across 385 plate appearances in Triple-A this season, but his success has yet to translate into the majors. He'll come up from the minors to replace Riley Greene (elbow), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Madrigal isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Reds, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Madrigal will get a breather Saturday after going just 1-for-12 across his last five games. Jeimer Candelario will man third base in Madrigal's absence, allowing Christopher Morel to serve as the Cubs' DH.

Baty isn't in the Mets' lineup Saturday against the Mariners.

Baty went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts in his return to the big leagues Friday, and he'll hand third base duties over to Mark Vientos for Saturday's contest.
