Machado is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

Machado has been limited to DH duties since the beginning of September because of a right (throwing) elbow injury that may eventually require surgery. Juan Soto will serve as San Diego's designated hitter Tuesday in San Francisco as Matthew Batten covers third base. Jurickson Profar is playing left field.

McMahon is out of the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Dodgers.

McMahon went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the opening game of the twin bill at Coors Field. Harold Castro will cover third base and bat seventh in the nightcap.

McCabe will play for the Salt River Rafters this year in the Arizona Fall League.

McCabe, a 23-year-old switch-hitting third baseman Atlanta selected in the fourth round of the 2022 draft, had a strong first full season in pro ball, although he was old for the levels he played at. He posted a 145 wRC+ with Single-A Augusta and then slashed .281/.388/.428 with nine home runs and nine steals in 81 games for High-A Rome. His 30.7 percent hard-hit rate and 14.5 percent soft-hit rate on the season were strong marks, and it's encouraging that he maintained a 15.2 percent walk rate at High-A while cutting his strikeout rate from 26.7 percent to 19.0 percent.

Peterson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Peterson had started in three of the Diamondbacks' last four matchups versus right-handed starting pitchers, but he'll take a seat Monday even with righty Clarke Schmidt taking the hill for the Yankees. Emmanuel Rivera will get the nod at third base in place of Peterson.

Wisdom went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

Wisdom helped the Cubs overcome a 3-1 deficit during a three-run sixth inning, with his 22nd home run of the season serving as the big blow. It was the 32-year-old's first long ball this month, however, as he's slipped into a bench role in Chicago, though playing time is available in the short term for however long Jeimer Candelario (back) and Nick Madrigal (hamstring) are out.

Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Davis is 1-for-13 with two walks and four strikeouts over his past five games and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Los Angeles. Wilmer Flores is starting at the hot corner and batting third.

Machado is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals.

Machado has missed a few games lately and has largely been limited to serving as the designated hitter in September due to an elbow injury, and he'll take a seat after the Padres' eight-game win streak was snapped Saturday. Xander Bogaerts will rest his legs as San Diego's designated hitter while Ha-Seong Kim works as shortstop.

Vargas is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader versus Atlanta, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Vargas has an .821 OPS through 14 games in September and will take a seat for Sunday's matinee. Carter Kieboom is starting at the hot corner and batting seventh.

McMahon isn't in the Rockies' lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

With lefty Jordan Wicks starting on the mound for Chicago, the lefty-hitting McMahon will take a seat to begin Sunday's game. Alan Trejo will cover third base and bat seventh in McMahon's absence.

Riley is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader at Washington, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

The 26-year-old started the past 14 games after sitting out a couple contests due to an illness in early September, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's matinee after he posted a 1.017 OPS with three homers, 11 RBI and 10 runs during that 14-game stretch. Luke Williams will handle the hot corner in Game 1 with Riley likely to be back in the starting nine for the nightcap.
