Davis is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays, according to Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News.

Davis does not sit much, but he will get a day off after going hitless in 19 at-bats over his last five games. Wilmer Flores will man the hot corner for the Giants on Monday.

Burger went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's win over the Yankees.

His last hit was the biggest, as Burger delivered a walk-off RBI single to complete an improbable five-run comeback in the bottom of the ninth inning. The 27-year-old is thriving in Miami, reeling off three straight multi-hit performances and slashing .317/.391/.488 through his first 11 games with his new club.

De La Cruz went 2-for-5 with a home run in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against Pittsburgh. He was 0-for-4 in the matinee.

De La Cruz made amends for his four-strikeout performance in the afternoon loss, crushing a 442-foot homer to tie the game in the third inning. The outfielder has four hits in 14 at-bats with a triple, a home run and four RBI since being dropped from leadoff to third in the order. The home run was his 10th in 58 games for the Reds and 22nd in 96 combined contests in the minors and majors.

Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 11-4 loss against Toronto.

Sunday's game was a microcosm of Wisdom's season, as he paired his 20th home run with three more strikeouts to raise his season total to 99 in 224 at-bats. Wisdom's role has diminished since the trade deadline acquisition of Jeimer Candelario having now started just four games since Aug. 1. Wisdom's empty power production is best served in the part-time role in which the Cubs currently have him placed.

Hayes isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Reds, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

After a 1-for-4 performance in Game 1, Hayes will take a seat for the second game of Sunday's action. Jared Triolo will step in as the Pirates' third baseman and bat eighth.

McMahon is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

McMahon is having a rough time at the plate in August. In his last eight games, the 28-year-old is 2-for-28. The last game he did not play in was July 16. With Sunday being a rest day, it can serve as a reset for him. In McMahon's place, Alan Trejo will start at third base and hit sixth.

Candelario is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Since being traded to the Cubs on July 31, Candelario has started in every game. With the Cubs in August, the infielder is slashing .425/.489/.625 in 45 plate appearances. Sunday will just be a rest day for the 29-year-old with Nick Madrigal getting the start at third.

Arenado went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Royals.

Arenado's bat has been hot in August -- he's gone 15-for-42 (.357) during his 10-game hitting streak that spans the whole month. The third baseman had slumped briefly in late July, but he's back up to a .287/.335/.511 slash line with 24 home runs, 82 RBI, 56 runs scored, two stolen bases, 22 doubles and two triples through 112 contests this season.

Peterson isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Saturday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Left-hander Rich Hill will take the mound for San Diego, forcing the lefty-hitting Peterson to the bench for the start of Saturday's game. Buddy Kennedy will start at third base and bat sixth while Peterson sits.

Perez signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Friday.

The 23-year-old third baseman was dumped from Houston's 40-man roster and ultimately released a week later, but he quickly caught on with a new organization. Perez is expected to report to Triple-A Indianapolis and should handle a near-everyday role with the Pirates' top affiliate. Perez slashed .255/.328/.399 with 10 home runs and three stolen bases in 357 plate appearances at Triple-A Sugar Land this season prior to his release.
