Ryan Kreidler 3B | MIN
Twins' Ryan Kreidler: Another start versus lefty
Kreidler will start at third base and bat ninth in Monday's contest versus the Red Sox.
Kreidler has now started both games against lefties since being recalled over the weekend. He and Tristan Gray should continue to form a platoon at third base while Royce Lewis (knee) is sidelined.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Taking seat against southpaw
McMahon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.
He'll head to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Ben Rice and Trent Grisham while the Yankees stock up some extra right-handed bats to counter Angels southpaw Yusei Kikuchi. Amed Rosario will step in at third base in place of McMahon, who owns a .376 OPS over 42 plate appearances on the season.

Oswald Peraza 3B | LAA
Angels' Oswald Peraza: Retreating to bench Monday
Peraza is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Peraza manned the keystone for 11 of the Angels' first 13 games, but he's been out of the picture since Vaughn Grissom came off the injured list Saturday. Grissom made a pair of starts against left-handed pitchers over the weekend, while Adam Frazier is at second base Monday against right-hander Will Warren. Peraza occupied third base in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Reds and came through with solo home run, but he's slashing an unremarkable .214/.267/.405 over 46 plate appearances on the season.

Coby Mayo 3B | BAL
Orioles' Coby Mayo: Back on bench amid rough spell
Mayo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
For the second time in four games, Mayo will take a seat while Blaze Alexander picks up another start at third base. After a strong September to close out the 2025 campaign, Mayo hasn't been able to carry over that success to the first two and a half weeks of the 2026 season. He's batting just .158/.273/.184 with a 29.5 percent strikeout rate over 44 plate appearances, with his poor form potentially putting him at risk of a demotion to Triple-A Norfolk if he's unable to turn things around quickly.

Jake Burger 3B | TEX
Rangers' Jake Burger: Cooling off
Burger went 1-for-5 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers.
Burger struck out in his first three plate appearances Sunday to extend a hitless run to 18 consecutive at-bats before a seventh-inning single ended the skid. Following a quick start out of the blocks, the cleanup batter has gone 5-for-39 (.128) over the last 10 games and has just one RBI in the last 11.

Tanner Murray 3B | CHW
White Sox's Tanner Murray: Hits first career homer
Murray went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 6-5 win over the Royals.
The home run, hit in the second inning off Noah Cameron, was the first in Murray's MLB career. It also was just the second hit of any sort for the 26-year-old playing in his first handful of games at the big-league level. With Everson Pereira (ankle) still on the shelf, Murray should see some time in the lineup for the team's next couple of games.

Oswald Peraza 3B | LAA
Angels' Oswald Peraza: Knocks second homer
Peraza went 1-for-5 with a home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 9-6 win against the Reds.
Peraza belted a solo homer in the fourth inning and notched another RBI on a groundout in the seventh. The veteran infielder started at third base Sunday after being held out of the lineup the previous two days. Peraza is slashing just .214/.267/.405 with two long balls, three RBI and a stolen base through 46 plate appearances on the season. He may be in and out of the lineup, as Yoan Moncada and Vaughn Grissom are likely to get frequent starts at third and second base, which is where Peraza has logged most of his work this season.
-
Ben Williamson 3B | TB
Rays' Ben Williamson: Heading to bench Sunday
Williamson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Williamson had started 10 of the past 11 games, but he'll take a seat Sunday while Taylor Walls and Richie Palacios form the Rays' middle-infield tandem. Once Gavin Lux (shoulder) is cleared to return from the injured list, Williamson could move into a utility role.
-
Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
Angels' Yoan Moncada: Out of lineup Sunday
Moncada is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Moncada started the previous five games but will head to the bench Sunday after going 2-for-12 with six walks, a triple, two RBI, two runs and seven strikeouts. Oswald Peraza will step in at the hot corner and bat eighth in the series finale in Cincinnati.

Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS
Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Collects two RBI in win
Durbin went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over St. Louis.
Durbin was part of Boston's five-run ninth inning, the team's highest scoring inning of the season. His two-run single made it a 5-1 game, and he scored the final run. Durbin has at least one RBI in three of the last four games, but his .114/.188/.136 slash line has been a drag on the Red Sox.
