Machado is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Xander Bogaerts will also get a breather as the Padres play out the string on a highly disappointing 2023 campaign. Eguy Rosario is filling in at third base for Machado on Wednesday in Los Angeles and Ha-Seong Kim is playing shortstop.

Muncy is not in the lineup Wednesday versus the Padres.

Enrique Hernandez will start at third base and bat fifth with left-hander Blake Snell toeing the slab for San Diego. Muncy has been on a roll lately, but he carries a .149/.268/.396 slash line in 157 plate appearances this year against southpaws.

Kieboom is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Pirates.

Jake Alu will start at third base and bat eighth as Luis Garcia handles second base and hits sixth. Kieboom has slashed .182/.224/.364 in 58 plate appearances since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Aug. 20.

Arenado is out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Orioles.

Jose Fermin will start at third base and bat eighth against the O's and right-hander Kyle Gibson. This looks to be a routine day of rest for Arenado, who's sitting on 26 home runs and 89 RBI through 138 games this year.

Rivera (shoulder) is back in the lineup Wednesday against the Mets.

Rivera sat out Tuesday after injuring his left shoulder while trying to make a catch near the stands in Monday's series opener versus New York, but it has proven to be a minor blip. He'll cover third base and bat seventh for the Diamondbacks on Wednesday at Citi Field.

Marte (nose) is starting at shortstop and batting seventh Wednesday versus the Tigers in his return to the lineup.

Marte scored as a pinch runner in Tuesday's win over the Tigers, but this will be his first start since he suffered a broken nose pregame Saturday. He's filling in at shortstop for Elly De La Cruz, who is getting a day off.

Hayes went 2-for-3 with a stolen base, an intentional walk and one RBI in Tuesday's victory over the Nationals.

Hayes singled twice, stole a base, drew an intentional walk and contributed a sacrifice fly to extend Pittsburgh's lead to 5-1 in the seventh inning. In 35 games since returning from a back injury Aug. 2, the 26-year-old has slashed .298/.344/.553 with eight doubles, two triples, eight home runs, 24 RBI and 20 runs. However, the theft was just Hayes' 10th this season and first since July 6 after last year's 20-steal campaign.

Marte (nose) entered Tuesday's game as a pinch runner and scored a run in a 6-5 win over the Tigers.

Marte made his first appearance since sustaining a broken nose during pre-game warmups Saturday. He replaced Nick Martini as the automatic runner in the top of the 10th inning, scored the eventual game-winning run, then played third base in the bottom of the frame. It's unclear if the Reds are confident enough to have Marte play an entire game, but he looks like he's trending in that direction.

Donaldson went 2-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Miami.

After having his contract selected by Milwaukee on Monday, Donaldson delivered an RBI and a run scored in his Brewers debut. He was even better Tuesday, reaching in all four of his plate appearances (two hits, two walks), including via a solo home run off Edward Cabrera in the fourth frame. Though the change of scenery could be exactly what the former MVP needed, it's worth noting Donaldson slashed just .142/.225/.434 in 33 games with the Yankees this season.

Davis is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Guardians.

Wilmer Flores will cover third base and bat third as Joc Pederson fills the DH role. This appears to be a routine day of rest for Davis, who is slashing .321/.406/.643 in 32 plate appearances since the calendar flipped to September.
