Peterson isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Peterson will step out of the lineup after going 2-for-12 with two RBI over his last five games. Luis Urias will take his spot at third base and bat fourth.

Manager Dusty Baker is planning to give Bregman a day off Wednesday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman will start one day after the Astros clinched the AL West, but it appears he will get a mid-week breather in order to get some rest prior to the postseason.

LeMahieu (toe) could be activated during this week's homestand, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

He took on-field batting practice Tuesday for the first time since landing on the injured list earlier this month. It doesn't sound like LeMahieu will be activated until this weekend, at the earliest.

Freeman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the White Sox, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Freeman will get a day off after his 1-for-5 effort Monday against the Twins. Josh Naylor slots in as the designated hitter. Owen Miller starts at first base, batting seventh.

Newman (undisclosed) is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth Tuesday against the Yankees.

He missed almost a week with an undisclosed issue, but Newman re-enters the fold for a two-game series in New York. The righty-hitting infielder is hitting .207 with zero extra-base hits and one steal in 10 games this month.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 4-0 win over the Rays.

Bregman provided a two-RBI double in the sixth inning and now has an extra-base hit in three consecutive games. The performance continued a productive stretch, as he has maintained a .314 average with 10 RBI and six runs scored across his last 10 starts. Bregman will look to end the campaign on a strong note, and his .846 OPS across 603 plate appearances is his highest mark since 2019.

Anderson is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Cubs, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson is hitting .194 with two home runs in 17 games this month. Jon Berti is starting in left field and leading off.

Henderson will man third base and hit leadoff in Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Henderson hit no higher than cleanup over his first 18 appearances as a big leaguer, but manager Brandon Hyde decided to switch things up with the Orioles' offense looking for a spark, so the rookie will get a shot to show what he can do atop the order.

Riley went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.

He got the party started for Atlanta by taking Cory Abbott deep in the first inning. Riley's slashing .250/.326/.526 over his last 20 contests with six of his career-high 37 homers on the year, and he has 15 games left in the regular season to drive home the eight runs he needs to record his second straight 100-RBI campaign.

Muncy is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Diamondbacks.

Muncy owns a stellar 1.041 OPS this month, but the Dodgers have little to play for at this point, so they will limit Muncy to no more than one start Tuesday.
