Newman was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with gastritis.

The move was retroactive to Friday, so Newman will be eligible for activation July 24, and he should be ready to go by then or shortly after. Newman has been a useful short-side platoon guy this season with a .901 OPS versus lefties.

Triolo went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Giants.

Triolo extended his hitting streak to nine games with the effort, and he's hit .333 with a .395 on-base percentage in that span. He's reached base consistently across 57 career plate appearances in the majors, though he has only two extra-base hits. Triolo will likely lose out on playing time when Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) is able to return, though it's unclear when that may be.

Candelario (thumb) has been scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

He was penciled in to return after suffering a bone bruise in his thumb Friday, but evidently Candelario's pregame work didn't go well. Ildemaro Vargas is now set for another start at third base while Candelario remains day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener at Wrigley Field.

Wisdom is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Wisdom smacked a home run Saturday, his 15th of the year, but he'll give way to Miles Mastrobuoni on Sunday. Wisdom should still start at the hot corner most days moving forward, especially with Nick Madrigal (hamstring) on the injured list.

Candelario (thumb) is in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

A bone bruise in his right thumb forced Candelario from Friday's game and kept him out of the lineup Saturday. Fortunately for Washington, the third baseman will be able to return for the series finale in St. Louis, which keeps him in the spotlight for potential trade partners. Candelario is slashing .260/.336/.477 with 27 doubles and 13 homers in 363 plate appearances so far this season.

The Brewers placed Anderson (back) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Anderson has been dealing with back discomfort, and it's now come to light that he has a strain in his lower back, so he will be sidelined indefinitely. Jahmai Jones was recalled in a corresponding move while Andruw Monasterio will get the start at third base in Sunday's series finale in Cincinnati.

The Pirates optioned Castro to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

Castro's performance slipped in June and his playing time dried up, so he will head to the minors for the first time this season and attempt to get back on track with regular at-bats. The 24-year-old has a .228/.317/.355 line in 224 plate appearances with the big club this year, a step back from 2022. Andrew McCutchen (elbow) took Castro's spot on the active roster.

Machado went 1-for-7 with a solo home run and two walks during Saturday's doubleheader against Philadelphia.

Machado's clutch 425-foot solo shot in the eighth inning of Game 1 gave San Diego a one-run lead, though the Phillies ultimately stormed back to win that contest before also taking Game 2. The long ball was the 300th of Machado's career, making him one of 11 active big-leaguers to reach that mark. The veteran third baseman has been swinging a potent stick of late, smashing eight homers and driving in 18 runs over his past 11 contests.

Arenado went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's win over Washington.

Arenado tagged Paolo Espino for a long ball in the eighth inning, his 20th of the season and his fourth in his last six contests. The third baseman has collected a hit in 11 of his last 14 appearances, a stretch in which he's hitting 18-for-52 (.346) with 12 RBI and 10 runs scored.

Sosa exited the second game of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Padres due to a cramp, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Sosa had a rough half-inning in the seventh, reaching base on a hit-by-pitch to the hand, then getting lifted after looking gimpy running from second to third. However, it looks like he's managed to avoid a serious injury in both cases. Consider Sosa day-to-day.
