McMahon went 4-for-6 with three doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 12-4 win over Toronto.

It's already McMahon's sixth multi-hit game this season. The 29-year-old third baseman has gotten off to a red-hot start, batting .415 with a 1.107 OPS, two homers and 11 RBI through in his first 53 at-bats. While he may not have a great supporting cast in Colorado, McMahon's provided consistent production throughout his career, hitting 20-plus homers in four of his prior five seasons.

Dunn is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

Dunn is 1-for-10 with four strikeouts over his past two contests and finds himself on the bench for a second straight game. Joey Ortiz is starting at the hot corner against Baltimore right-hander Tyler Wells.

Candelario is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the White Sox.

Candelario is off to a dreadful 7-for-46 (.152) start at the plate this season, but this will be his first day off. The Reds will roll with Santiago Espinal at third base in Chicago.

Bohm went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a 5-1 win against the Pirates on Thursday.

Bohm got the Phillies on the board in the fourth inning with a 407-foot solo blast to center field. The homer was his first of the campaign after he went deep a career-high 20 times last season. Bohm is slashing .267/.365/.422 with eight RBI, four runs, a stolen base and a 7:12 BB:K through 52 plate appearances.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.

Muncy led off the fourth inning with a 400-foot solo shot off Chris Paddack, tying the game 2-2. It's the second homer of the year for Muncy, who's now batting .250 with a .756 OPS and eight RBI through 14 games this season. The 33-year-old third baseman figures to see plenty of RBI chances while batting behind Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani in the Dodgers' high-powered lineup.

Candelario went 0-for-3 and was hit by a pitch in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Brewers.

Candelario has one hit over the last 18 at-bats, dropping his average to .152 and OPS to .535 for the season. Those are unbecoming numbers for a cleanup hitter. He's part of a big hole in the middle of the Reds' order along with third place batter Christian Encarnacion-Strand (.154/.417). The slump is causing Candelario to chase more than normal; he's swinging at a career-high 36 percent of offerings outside the zone.

Burger went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Yankees.

Burger entered the game in a bit of a cold spell, having gone 1-for-15 since his two-homer performance on April 4. While his three-run home run off Marcus Stroman was Burger's only hit of the day, the round-tripper could be what the third baseman needed to break out of the slump. Through 13 games, Burger is slashing .260/.291/.480 and is tied for the league lead with 15 RBI.

Suarez went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Colorado.

Suarez provided the game-deciding hit in the top of the ninth inning when he lofted a bloop double to left field that plated Arizona's final two runs. The hit snapped an 0-for-17 skid for the third baseman, who has a 1.136 OPS and eight RBI with runners in scoring position.

Wade will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Wade had been part of a messy three-man timeshare at third base during the first full week of the regular season, but he seems to have moved into a larger side of the platoon with Eguy Rosario at the position after the Padres cleared up the logjam by optioning Graham Pauley to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Wade will garner his fifth straight start Wednesday after going 1-for-9 with a walk and a stolen base over the previous four contests. Both Wade and Rosario will lose out on opportunities at the hot corner once Manny Machado -- who has been limited to designated-hitter duties thus far -- completes his throwing program as he works his way back from October surgery to repair a tendon in his right elbow.

Madrigal is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Madrigal will take a seat for the fourth consecutive game, with each of those absences coming against right-handed pitchers. At least for the time being, Mike Tauchman appears to have edged ahead of Madrigal for the final spot in the Cubs' regular lineup versus righties.
