Rosario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Houston.

Rosario accounted for one of two San Diego runs in the contest with his 409-foot solo shot in the seventh inning. It was the first major-league homer for the 24-year-old, who went deep five times over 43 games with Triple-A El Paso before being called up last Friday. Rosario homered 22 times and stole 21 bases across 124 contests in Triple-A last season. He could get a decent look down the stretch with the Padres fading further out of contention for a playoff spot.

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

Since being acquired from Oakland on July 31, Peterson has mostly served as a strong-side platoon option at third base, but he'll likely have to settle for more of a utility role moving forward. With both second baseman Ketel Marte (knee) and shortstop Jordan Lawlar (hand) back in the lineup Monday after one-game absences, Peterson will retreat to the bench after he manned the keystone Sunday. Geraldo Perdomo has seemingly supplanted Peterson as the Diamondbacks' preferred option at third base.

Sosa is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Sosa went 4-for-18 with a home run, a stolen base, two RBI and three runs while making five starts in the Phillies' past seven games, but he'll be back on the bench for the first game of Monday's twin bill. Despite the uptick in playing time of late, Sosa still looks to be viewed as a utility man and doesn't have a direct path to an everyday spot in the lineup.

Davis isn't in the lineup for Sunday's game against Colorado, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Davis has been hot recently, going 7-for-17 with two homers, three doubles, five runs and four RBI over the last four matchups. However, he'll get a breather Sunday with Wilmer Flores starting at third base.

Machado is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Machado started all 87 games since he returned from a fracture in his left hand in early June, though he's exclusively served as San Diego's designated hitter in September while managing tennis elbow. Matt Carpenter will take over the DH spot Sunday while Eguy Rosario starts at the hot corner.

Marte, who is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals, was diagnosed with a broken nose, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The 21-year-old was struck in the face while playing catch ahead of Saturday's contest and cleared the concussion protocol, but he's still managing a fractured nose. Marte wasn't placed on the injured list amid a flurry of transactions by the Reds on Sunday, so he may not require a trip to the shelf. He could play soon depending on his pain tolerance and comfort level.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's extra-innings loss to Washington.

Muncy got the scoring started with a sacrifice fly in the first inning and added a two-run blast in the eighth. It was the second straight game with a long ball for the slugger, who has knocked in five runs during that span. Muncy is up to 96 RBI on the campaign, two shy of the career-best mark of 98 he established back in 2019.

Batten went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Astros.

Batten walked, stole second and scored in the fourth inning and added a run-scoring single in the sixth. The theft was his first in the majors after swiping 27 bags in 31 attempts over 86 games at the Triple-A level this season. Batten has been getting near-everyday playing time since his latest call-up Aug. 26, and he's holding his own with a .286/.390/.457 slash line, one homer, four RBI, nine runs and a 6:7 BB:K over 11 games since that time.

Marte (face) has avoided a concussion and is considered day-to-day, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Marte was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals after being hit in the face with a ball during pregame. He was treated for a cut and a bruise. He did not require any stitches, though, and precautionary concussion testing came back clean. "There's a chance he's back pretty soon," Reds manager David Bell said after Saturday's loss to St. Louis. Cincinnati is off Monday, so it's possible the team will hold Marte out until Tuesday just to be safe.

Marte was scratched from Cincinnati's lineup ahead of Saturday's game against St. Louis, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Marte was playing catch with Elly De La Cruz before the game and got hit in the face by a throw when he wasn't paying attention. Spencer Steer will move to third base in Marte's absence, and Alejo Lopez will cover second base Saturday. Marte should be considered day-to-day until the Reds provide more information.
