Peterson isn't in the Athletics' lineup Tuesday against Atlanta.

Peterson will take off Tuesday after recording his first RBI in 11 games during Monday's contest. While Peterson sits, Jonah Bride will start at third base and bat seventh.

Donaldson (hamstring) is tracking toward a return to the Yankees this weekend, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Things had been pointing toward Donaldson's activation for the weekend series versus the Dodgers as long as all goes well on his rehab assignment, and the third baseman confirmed as much Tuesday. He's been sidelined since early April with a right hamstring strain, having encountered a couple setbacks along the way.

Nevin was recalled from Triple-A Toledo by the Tigers on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Nevin has managed just two hits in 22 at-bats at the big-league level this season. He could play a bit at third base and/or the corner outfield spots against lefties.

Milwaukee recalled Toro from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Jesse Winker (neck) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Toro had registered an underwhelming .258/.344/.352 slash line with one home run and four stolen bases through 43 games this season at Triple-A and seems doubtful to offer fantasy relevance.

Baty is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Phillies.

Eduardo Escobar will cover third base and bat ninth with left-hander Ranger Suarez on the mound for Philly. Mark Vientos is handling DH duties and batting fifth.

Bride, recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day, went 2-for-3 with a run in a win over Atlanta on Monday.

Bride started at third base and carried over his momentum from his tenure with the Aviators, where he'd produced a blistering .308/.416/.577 slash line across 186 plate appearances. Bride limped to a .204 average and .548 OPS over his first 187 big-league plate appearances a season ago, but he's thrived offensively in his last three minor-league stints and should be given a long look on the non-contending A's.

McMahon went 4-for-5 with a home run, a triple and three total RBI in Monday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

McMahon kicked off the scoring in the contest with a big 445-foot solo homer to center field, and he plated an additional RBI in each of the second and fifth frames. The third baseman finished a double short of a cycle and notched his fourth multi-hit performance over his past five games. McMahon is arguably the hottest hitter in the majors at the moment, homering in four straight contests and collecting 11 RBI over that span.

Davis went 2-for-4 with two walks, one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 14-4 win over the Pirates.

The steal was Davis' first of the season, matching his total from each of the previous two years. He had a rough patch where he went 2-for-19 over seven games in the middle of the month, but he's rebounded by going 9-for-33 across his last eight games. Davis is enjoying a solid bounce-back campaign, slashing .278/.356/.485 with nine home runs, 30 RBI and 24 runs scored through 50 contests. With Thairo Estrada (wrist) on the injured list, Casey Schmitt is more likely to see time at second base or shortstop, allowing Davis to hold down a near-everyday role at third base in the near term.

Lewis went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 7-5 win over Houston in 10 innings.

The 23-year-old turned in a scintillating 2023 major-league debut, which came exactly one year after he tore the ACL in his right knee for the second time in his career. Upon returning from the 60-day injured list, Lewis was installed as the Twins' starting third baseman and sparked the offense with a third-inning home run, then delivered a clutch game-tying RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning. Lewis is expected to settle in as the Twins' everyday third baseman, though the organization may be judicious with his usage early on coming off the major knee surgery.

Donaldson (hamstring) will play for Double-A Somerset on Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Donaldson was initially sent out on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but he'll now shift to Double-A after the team re-evaluated him Sunday. He'll likely see at-bats throughout the week before potentially being reinstated for the Yankees' upcoming weekend series against the Dodgers.
