Arenado is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

The Diamondbacks will send Arenado to the bench for the second time in four games, after he went 0-for-10 with three walks during the team's weekend series in Washington. Ildemaro Vargas will check in for Arenado at third base and will bat eighth.

House is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Blue Jays.

House doubled twice in his return to the majors Sunday against the Diamondbacks, but he will exit the lineup for Monday's series opener. Jorbit Vivas will cover third base and bat eighth for the Nationals.

House went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Seeing his first action in the big leagues since May 18, House carved out his share of a 10-run, 15-hit attack by the Nationals that included nine extra-base hits. The 23-year-old will get a long look at third base due to Curtis Mead now being in Boston. Over 50 games with Triple-A Rochester this season, House put together a .301/.342/.500 slash line with eight homers, 26 runs and 34 RBI.

Bohm went 1-for-4 with a double, four RBI, two runs scored and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 11-4 win over the Yankees.

Bohm got in on the Phillies' offensive outburst, delivering a three-RBI double in the third inning. Over his past seven games, the third baseman is slashing .296/.345/.593 with two homers, nine RBI and four runs scored. In total, Bohm is hitting .221/.282/.368 with 13 homers, 57 RBI and 35 runs scored across 101 contests in 2026.

Machado went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Marlins.

Machado got the Padres on the board with an RBI double in the fifth inning before tying the game with a two-run homer in the eighth. The veteran third baseman has stayed locked in at the plate, homering four times over his last seven games while collecting 11 hits during that stretch. Through 103 games this season, Machado is slashing .210/.296/.438 with 23 home runs, 18 doubles, 63 RBI, 53 runs scored and two stolen bases.

Vargas went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Astros.

Vargas provided the game-winning runs for the White Sox with his two-run homer in the sixth inning. He now has 22 home runs on the season, though only three have come in July. Vargas has also hit just .221 in July, though he's still managed to chip in 11 RBI and 15 runs scored across 20 games during the month.

Durbin went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Durbin had gone hitless in his last three games, but he broke through with a pair of base hits in the series finale to lift his average up to .237 on the season. The 26-year-old remained in the starting nine at third base, and interim manager Chad Tracy confirmed prior to the contest that Durbin is expected to remain at the hot corner while the Red Sox break in the newly acquired Curtis Mead primarily at second base when he joins the team Monday, per Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald. Durbin is expected to take more reps at second base and shortstop as part of his pregame work, but the Red Sox have been pleased with how he's performed defensively at third base during his first season in Boston.

Manager Tony Vitello said Sunday that Chapman (abdomen) is still without a target date for his return from the 10-day injured list, which suggests that the veteran third baseman won't be activated before the Giants' homestand ends Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Earlier in the week, Vitello left the door open for Chapman to return at some point during the Giants' six-game homestand that began Friday, but the five-time Gold Glove Award winner looks like he'll require some additional time to fully heal from the abdominal strain that sent him to the shelf July 1. On a positive note, Chapman is said to be making good progress in his recovery, as he took batting practice Friday and also ran the bases over the weekend, per MLB.com. Until Chapman is ready to return, Casey Schmitt will continue to hold down the fort at third base.

The Red Sox activated Mead following Sunday's 6-1 win over Toronto.

After being acquired from the Nationals earlier Sunday, Mead will be available to make his team debut Monday against the Athletics in Sacramento. The 25-year-old is expected to work primarily at second base with his new squad, even though he made just one of his 62 starts with Washington at that position. Mead had enjoyed a breakout campaign with the Nationals, posting a career-high .254 average with 17 home runs, 48 RBI, 49 runs scored and six stolen bases over 87 contests. Boston optioned infielder Tsung-Che Cheng to Triple-A Worcester to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Mead.

Hayes went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

Hayes has gone 4-for-22 over 10 games since he returned from a bulging disc in his back. The third baseman has settled back into a part-time role, battling for playing time with Eugenio Suarez and Sal Stewart at the hot corner. Hayes is hitting a meager .148 with a .443 OPS, three home runs, six RBI, 13 runs scored and one stolen base over 152 plate appearances this season.
