Arenado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Padres.

Arenado got the Diamondbacks on the board with his homer off German Marquez in the seventh inning. The long ball was Arenado's second in the last four games. The third baseman is now batting .244 with a .753 OPS, 16 homers, 53 RBI, 53 runs scored, 20 doubles and three stolen bases over 108 contests last year, production that represents a slight bounce-back effort compared to last year.

Machado went 3-for-5 with a double, four RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Machado surged coming out of the All-Star break, but he had gone just 1-for-19 with one walk and nine strikeouts over his previous five games. He broke the slump with a big performance Tuesday, including a season-high four RBI. The third baseman is now batting .213 with a .724 OPS, 23 home runs, 69 RBI, 58 runs scored, 20 doubles and two stolen bases over 111 contests. Despite the down numbers nearly across the board, he's still tracking toward the 30-homer mark for the first time since 2023.

Riley went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Marlins.

Riley provided Atlanta with some insurance in the seventh inning, launching a two-run homer off John King for his 13th long ball of the season. The third baseman has shown signs of heating up in the second half of the season, batting .290 with four home runs across 17 games. Despite the recent surge, Riley is still slashing just .220/.296/.360 on the season, with each mark on pace to be his lowest since his rookie campaign in 2019.

The Padres added Workman to the 26-man active roster ahead of Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Workman had been playing at Triple-A Toledo since the beginning of June, but he'll open his time in the Padres organization with the big club after he was acquired from the Tigers on Monday. The 26-year-old has seen time at second base, third base, shortstop and both corner-outfield spots between his stops in the majors and minors this season, so he'll offer the Padres some versatility off the bench.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during the Mets' 6-2 win over the Guardians on Tuesday.

Bichette extended the Mets' lead to 4-0 in the third inning with a solo homer off Joey Cantillo. It was the 11th long ball of the season for Bichette but his first since June 24 against the Cubs. His slash line has taken a notable dip in his first year with the Mets, and since the All-Star break, he has a .261 batting average with three RBI in 74 plate appearances.

Chapman (abdomen) is scheduled to be evaluated by a specialist next week, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

MRI imaging confirmed Monday that Chapman suffered a core muscle injury, and manager Tony Vitello said Tuesday that the veteran third baseman may require surgery, per delos Santos. A timeline for Chapman's return will likely emerge following his doctor's visit, but he could be lost for the season if he goes under the knife.

Yorke (shoulder) is beginning a rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton on Tuesday, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.

Yorke is currently on the Triple-A injured list and hasn't played since June 17 due to a shoulder issue. The 24-year-old opened the season with the Pirates but slashed just .197/.279/.276 with four extra-base hits, six RBI, six runs scored and a 7:17 BB:K across 86 trips to the plate before being demoted.

Urias (elbows) has been sent to Triple-A Memphis to resume a rehab assignment, John Denton of Roundtable.io reports.

Urias had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment a little over a week ago after being hit on the elbow by a pitch. He's been out since early May with tennis elbow in both arms but could return before the end of the month if he can avoid another setback.

The Cardinals recalled Prieto from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Prieto is grabbing the roster spot vacated by Lars Nootbaar, who was traded to the Diamondbacks on Monday. The 27-year-old Prieto has slashed .307/.373/.517 with 12 homers in 2026 at Memphis but has gone just 1-for-23 in his brief chances at the major-league level the last two seasons. He'll likely be used primarily off the bench.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

The Dodgers will hand the left-handed-hitting Muncy a night off while southpaw Matthew Boyd toes the rubber for the Cubs. Enrique Hernandez will fill in for Muncy at third base and will bat eighth.
