Bohm is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to what interim manager Don Mattingly described as hamstring or groin tightness, Cory Nidoh of PhillySportsNetwork.com reports.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI in Saturday's 12-3 win before making a late exit due to what appears to be a minor injury. Though Bohm won't start Sunday, Mattingly downplayed most of the concern about the first baseman's health, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Kyle Schwarber will draw the start at first base in the series finale, but Bohm could appear at some point off the bench, if needed.

The Cardinals reinstated Urias (elbows) from the 60-day injured list Sunday. He'll start at second base and will bat eighth in the team's series finale in Philadelphia.

The veteran infielder has been sidelined by tennis elbow in both arms since early May, with a hit-by-pitch in late July prolonging his absence. Urias doesn't have a clear path to regular playing time, though he could benefit from Masyn Winn's thumb injury, which will keep Winn on the bench Sunday for a fourth straight game.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

A day after going deep twice, Bregman recorded another home run to get to 19 long balls on the year. The veteran third baseman has tallied eight of those homers in 20 games this month, and he's sporting a robust 1.032 OPS in August. Bregman is on the cusp of another 20-homer campaign, which would be the sixth of his career across 11 MLB seasons.

Arenado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and three total runs scored in Saturday's 11-5 loss to the Reds.

Arenado is up to 21 homers this season, including seven over 17 games in August. He's hitting .254 (16-for-63) with 15 RBI this month. The third baseman is batting .243 with a .768 OPS through 121 contests. Arenado battled an intercostal injury earlier in the week, but he looks set to play through it with little impact on his performance -- he's hit safely in three straight games since he returned from missing two contests due to the injury.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Saturday's 10-5 win over the White Sox.

Bichette launched a long ball for the second consecutive game against the White Sox. With his two hits Saturday, the 28-year-old has now picked up at least one base knock in eight of his last nine games. In his first season with the Mets, Bichette is batting .268/.314/.398 with 14 homers and 66 RBI in 557 plate appearances.

Vivas isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Vivas will take a day off to regroup Saturday after going 0-for-12 at the plate across his last four games. Jose Tena will start at the keystone while Vivas sits, and Brady House will get the nod at third base.

Bohm went 3-for-5 with a triple, a run scored and three RBI in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

With two on and nobody out in the bottom of the 10th inning, Bohm crushed a sweeper from Luis Gastelum to the warning track in center field that Jose Fermin couldn't track down, allowing Edmundo Sosa to race home from first base for the winning run. Bohm has had a tough season at the plate overall, but he's caught fire in August, slashing .371/.416/.529 over 19 games with eight extra-base hits (six doubles, one triple and one homer), 11 runs, 15 RBI and more walks (five) than strikeouts (four).

Gonzales went 2-for-5 with two RBI against the Dodgers on Friday.

Gonzales drove in the first run of the game with a single in the opening inning, and he then tacked on an additional run two frames later. In three starts since returning from a head injury, Gonzales has gone 5-for-15 with two RBI, a run scored and a double. Across 499 plate appearances this season, he has maintained an impressive .311 batting average, though Gonzales also has just a .093 ISO.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Pirates.

Muncy replied to the Pirates' opening run with his two-run homer in the first inning. The third baseman has gone 10-for-34 (.294) over his last 11 contests, adding four homers and 14 RBI in that span. For the season, he's hitting .252 with an .848 OPS, 26 homers, 66 RBI, 67 runs scored, 18 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 119 contests. While he's been effective, a healthy Enrique Hernandez will likely lead to Muncy getting platooned more often down the stretch.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

Bregman homered in the first and ninth innings, ending a seven-game stretch without a long ball. The third baseman's big performance still wasn't enough for the Cubs, but it was a positive to see him get back on track in the power department. For the year, Bregman is batting .258 with a .765 OPS, 18 homers, 66 RBI, 71 runs scored, 24 doubles, one triple and three stolen bases over 126 contests.
