Wisdom was hit on his left wrist by a pitch Monday against the Reds but X-rays came back clean, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

He was hit on the wrist by a pitch from Ian Gibaut but stayed in the game and went 1-for-4 with a run scored. Wisdom said the wrist felt tender when swinging and he's still sore, but he noted that he'd be OK. It sounds like he is day-to-day.

Muncy (groin) is back in the Dodgers' lineup Monday for their game against the Rockies.

Muncy was hit by a pitch in the groin area Saturday and sat out Sunday's game, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go Monday. He'll be at third base and batting cleanup against Ryan Feltner.

Anderson went 2-for-3 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-0 victory over the Mets.

Anderson crushed a Carlos Carrasco offering to center in the fourth inning with a runner on to give the Brewers a 3-0 lead. That's the first homer of the season for the right-handed hitter, and the first for Anderson as a member of the Brewers. With Luis Urias (hamstring) on the shelf, Anderson is expected to receive most of his playing time at the hot corner over the next two months.

Baty went 4-for-5 with a walk, a stolen base, two home runs and five RBI for Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

The 23-year-old forced the Mets to make a tough decision at the end of spring training when they optioned him back to Triple-A, and it looks like Baty is going to keep the pressure on for a quick promotion. Eduardo Escobar has gone 1-for-16 with seven strikeouts to begin the season as the starting third baseman on the big-league squad, and if he doesn't turn things around soon, New York may decide Baty gives the team the best chance to win in 2023.

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

Southpaw Drew Smyly is taking the hill for the Cubs, so the lefty-hitting Vosler will bow out of the starting nine, giving way to Wil Myers at first base. Vosler connected on his first home run of the season in Sunday's win over the Pirates and has plated three runs through his first three games. He should serve as the Reds' primary option at first base until Joey Votto (shoulder) returns from the injured list.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Padres.

McMahon accounted for the only run Colorado scored Sunday, smacking his first home run of the season in the seventh inning. He's been in the lineup for all four games to start the new campaign and has hit fifth in the lineup when facing right-handed pitchers. McMahon has only three hits through 17 at-bats, though all of them have gone for extra bases. He's also chipped in a stolen base.

Anderson will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Mets.

Anderson picked up his first two starts of the season in right field, but he'll man third base for the second time in as many days following Luis Urias' (hamstring) recent move to the injured list. While Urias is on the shelf, Anderson is expected to play third base on a regular basis against right-handed pitching, though he could see more time in the corner outfield versus left-handers. Wherever Anderson is used in the field likely won't influence his fantasy outlook in any major way, as he should already carry eligibility in outfield and third base in most leagues after logging 41 and 42 starts at those respective positions in 2022. Anderson has recorded exactly one hit and one walk in each of the Brewers' first three games of the season and has scored twice and driven in one run.

Escobar is absent from the Mets' lineup for Monday's game in Milwaukee, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Luis Guillorme will get the start at third base. Escobar is 1-for-16 with seven strikeouts and no walks to start the season. He probably doesn't need to look over his shoulder quite yet, but with Brett Baty off to a nice start with Triple-A Buffalo, Escobar would be wise to pick it up.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Brewers.

Wisdom hit his first two home runs of the season after supplying 25 long balls last year and 28 in 2021. He started in right field with Nick Madrigal getting the nod at third base, while Edwin Rios figures to also be in the mix at the hot corner moving forward. It could be a frustrating position for fantasy managers, so Wisdom's ability to play in the outfield is helpful for his overall outlook.

Vosler went 2-for-4 with solo home run and a double during Sunday's win over the Pirates.

Vosler started the scoring with solo shot during the second inning and followed up with a double in the eighth, though he was stranded. The 29-year-old received the start in two of the first three games of the season and has gone 3-for-8 with a home run, a triple, a double and three RBI.
