Kyle Karros 3B | COL
Rockies' Kyle Karros: Returns to concussion IL
The Rockies placed Karros on the 7-day injured list Sunday due to a concussion.
The 24-year-old was activated from the concussion IL on Friday but will quickly return after experiencing additional symptoms. Karros will be sidelined for at least another week while he goes through the league's protocols. Ryan Ritter was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move and is starting at second base Sunday against the Guardians, with Willi Castro sliding to the hot corner.

Brett Baty 3B | NYM
Mets' Brett Baty: Taking seat Sunday
Baty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Baty will hit the bench after starting the last three games at three different positions. Though he doesn't have a defensive home, Baty should play fairly regularly against right-handed pitching while Juan Soto (calf) remains sidelined.

Brady House 3B | WAS
Nationals' Brady House: Taking seat Sunday
House is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
After starting at third base in each of the last three games while going 2-for-8 with three walks, House will take a seat for the series finale while Jorbit Vivas mans the hot corner. House has put together a modest .699 OPS over 24 second-half games with the Nationals, but that may be enough to give him in the edge in playing time over Vivas, who is slashing just .214/.324/.250 over that same timeframe.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: On bench with lower-body tightness
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.

Ramon Urias 3B | STL
Cardinals' Ramon Urias: Back from injured list
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.

Alex Bregman 3B | CHC
Cubs' Alex Bregman: Power surge continues Saturday
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.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Pops homer in loss
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.

Bo Bichette 3B | NYM
Mets' Bo Bichette: Smashes 14th home run
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.

Jorbit Vivas 2B | WAS
Nationals' Jorbit Vivas: On bench Saturday
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.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Belts walk-off triple
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).
