Muncy went 4-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 12-6 win over the Cardinals.

Muncy missed over a month with a left knee bone bruise. He went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in his return Monday before providing a large chunk of the Dodgers' offense in a 17-hit barrage Tuesday. The third baseman has started each of the last two games but may see some occasional time off if the Dodgers want to keep switch hitting prospect Alex Freeland involved at the hot corner. With the big game, Muncy is up to 15 homers this season while adding 59 RBI, 42 runs scored, four stolen bases and a .258/.380/.481 slash line across 83 contests.

Arcia was removed from Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays with an apparent injury, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Arcia left the game immediately after slapping a single to right field in the fifth inning, though it's unclear what exactly is bothering him. The Rockies' training staff will evaluate him further and should offer some clarity soon; meanwhile, Kyle Farmer will take over at third base for Colorado.

Hayes is absent from the lineup in Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Hayes started each of the last four contests for the Reds after being acquired via trade, but he'll take a seat Tuesday. Santiago Espinal will handle third base in Hayes' stead.

Freeland is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

With Max Muncy (knee) returning from the 10-day injured list Monday and taking back his usual spot at third base in the series finale, Freeland will hit the bench after he had manned the hot corner in each of the previous four games while going 4-for-13 with an RBI and a 1:6 BB:K. Since utility man Tommy Edman (ankle) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move, Freeland's stay in the big leagues will be extended, though he'll now have to vie for playing time at the keystone. Miguel Rojas will start at second base Monday, but manager Dave Roberts said that Freeland will receive his first start at the position Tuesday, per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports.

Marte is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Marte will exit the lineup for the first time since July 7, ending a stretch of 22 straight starts during which he slashed .282/.317/.474 with four home runs, three steals, 11 runs and 10 RBI. The 23-year-old saw most of his playing time at third base in that stretch, but in the wake of last week's acquisition of Ke'Bryan Hayes, Marte may be thrust into more of a utility role moving forward that will include more opportunities in right field. He started in right field in each of the last four games, but he may end up settling into the short side of a platoon at that spot with the left-handed-hitting Jake Fraley.

Muncy (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list and will start at third base Monday night against the Cardinals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Monday will mark Muncy's first game back since July 2 after missing time with a left knee bone bruise. The veteran is expected to start the next two matchups for the Dodgers, per Vassegh.

Durbin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

The rookie will stay on the bench for the third straight game, but he appears to be fully healthy, as he played the final four innings of Sunday's 14-3 win over Washington while going 2-for-2 with a stolen base, two runs and an RBI. Though manager Pat Murphy hasn't shed much light on Durbin's recent string of absences from the lineup, the expectation is that the 25-year-old will see the lion's share of the starts at the hot corner moving forward. Anthony Seigler will replace Durbin in the lineup once again Monday, but Seigler hasn't helped his case for earning extended playing time by slashing .188/.250/.188 through his first 36 big-league plate appearances.

Baty is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

For the first time since the All-Star break, the left-handed-hitting Baty will hit the bench while the Mets face a right-handed starter (Slade Cecconi). Absences from the lineup against righties could begin to become the norm for Baty, who will face more competition for reps in the infield with Thursday's acquisition of center fielder Cedric Mullins expected to result in Jeff McNeil seeing the majority of his playing time at second base moving forward. With both McNeil (.774 OPS versus righties) and Ronny Mauricio (.886 OPS) outproducing Baty (.729 OPS) in those matchups this season, Baty no longer looks like the top choice to pick up starts at either the keystone or third base.

Arcia is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Blue Jays.

Arcia has received the lion's share of playing time at third base since the Rockies traded Ryan McMahon to the Yankees on July 25, but he'll get a breather Monday. Kyle Farmer will fill in at the hot corner and bat ninth for Colorado.

Atlanta recalled Alvarez from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Alvarez will head back to the big leagues after third baseman Austin Riley was placed on the 10-day injured list for the second time in just over three weeks due to a strained lower abdominal muscle. During Riley's first stint on the IL, Alvarez impressed defensively but slashed just .200/.250/.233 with a 1:9 BB:K, two runs and no RBI in eight games. He should settle back in as the team's primary option at the hot corner while Riley is out, but fantasy expectations for the 22-year-old should be low, given his struggles in his prior stint in the majors.
