Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

The 22-year-old further bolstered his campaign for AL Rookie of the Year, taking Josiah Gray deep for a leadoff solo homer that turned out to be the difference in Tuesday's 1-0 victory. After Henderson endured a somewhat slow start to his first full season, he has posted a slugging percentage of .500 or better in each of the final four months, resulting in a season-long slash line of .260/.329/.498 with 28 doubles, nine triples, 28 home runs, 82 RBI, 99 runs scored, 10 steals and a 155:55 strikeout-to-walk ratio across 607 plate appearances. His hard-hit rate of 52.0 percent ranks as the 14th-highest in the majors this year, sandwiching the rookie between Yordan Alvarez and Mike Trout in the category. It's safe to say Henderson will be a fixture in the heart of Baltimore's potent offense for years to come.

Peterson started at third base and went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 15-4 win over the White Sox.

Peterson registered his career-high 14th steal during Arizona's six-run fifth inning. The lefty hitter is in a rotation at third base with Evan Longoria and Emmanuel Rivera, normally getting starts against right-handers but not as part of a strict platoon.

Davis exited Tuesday's game against San Diego with a strained left shoulder, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Davis' injury came on an awkward slide into third base after he hit a line drive into right field during the first inning. The Giants haven't provided any information that could help determine how long Davis' absence will be, but a trip to the injured list is possible and would put an early end to the 30-year-old's season. If Davis does end up missing an extended period of time, Tyler Fitzgerald would likely see an increase in reps at third base with Wilmer Flores (knee) also rehabbing an injury.

Davis was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres with an apparent shoulder injury, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Davis made an awkward slide into third base during the first inning of Tuesday's contest and seemingly injured his shoulder in the process. Luis Matos entered the game to replace Davis as Tyler Fitzgerald shifted to third base.

Moustakas isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Moustakas will sit Tuesday after an 0-for-4 performance in Monday's series opener. Michael Stefanic will move to third base while David Fletcher starts at second and bats ninth.

Machado is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

Machado has been limited to DH duties since the beginning of September because of a right (throwing) elbow injury that may eventually require surgery. Juan Soto will serve as San Diego's designated hitter Tuesday in San Francisco as Matthew Batten covers third base. Jurickson Profar is playing left field.

McMahon is out of the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Dodgers.

McMahon went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the opening game of the twin bill at Coors Field. Harold Castro will cover third base and bat seventh in the nightcap.

Lewis (hamstring) was swinging a bat Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old has been sidelined by a strained hamstring since Sept. 20, so his relatively quick return to swinging a bat is an encouraging sign. Lewis will be eligible to be reinstated from the injured list on the final day of the regular season Sunday, though it remains to be seen if he's expected to be healthy by that point.

Peraza went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk Monday in a 6-4 victory versus the Diamondbacks.

Peraza came through with a big blast in the seventh inning, tying the score 3-3 with a 443-foot shot to left-center field. Arizona retook the lead in the following frame, but New York tied the game in the bottom of the eighth when Peraza walked with the bases loaded. The performance broke a seven-game stretch without an RBI for Peraza, who slashed .154/.214/.192 with a 39.3 percent strikeout rate over the cold stretch.

McCabe will play for the Salt River Rafters this year in the Arizona Fall League.

McCabe, a 23-year-old switch-hitting third baseman Atlanta selected in the fourth round of the 2022 draft, had a strong first full season in pro ball, although he was old for the levels he played at. He posted a 145 wRC+ with Single-A Augusta and then slashed .281/.388/.428 with nine home runs and nine steals in 81 games for High-A Rome. His 30.7 percent hard-hit rate and 14.5 percent soft-hit rate on the season were strong marks, and it's encouraging that he maintained a 15.2 percent walk rate at High-A while cutting his strikeout rate from 26.7 percent to 19.0 percent.
