  • Connor Norby 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Getting breather Friday

    Norby is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

    Norby will get the night off Friday after making three straight starts. In his place, Graham Pauley will bat ninth and play third base.

  • Brady House 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Brady House: Idle Friday

    House is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

    House will yield to Paul DeJong at third base for a second straight game. House had started in Washington's four previous contests. The 22-year-old rookie is slashing .236/.255/.327 with four home runs and five stolen bases in 267 plate appearances.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Goes yard Thursday

    Baty went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Cubs.

    Baty's fourth-inning blast was ultimately the difference, as it gave the Mets a 6-0 lead before the Cubs attempted to push back. The third baseman has had an inconsistent September, collecting multiple hits in just three of his 19 games this month. He's batting a decent .276 (16-for-58) in that span, and he's now at a .255/.314/.436 slash line with 18 homers, 50 RBI, 53 runs scored and eight stolen bases across 129 contests this season.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Exiting starting nine

    Muncy is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Arizona.

    Muncy has played sparingly versus lefties since returning from the injured list earlier this month, though it won't be a traditional lefty starter for the Diamondbacks on Thursday as reliever Jalen Beeks serves as an opener. The left-handed-swinging Muncy could be a candidate to enter mid-game when Arizona turns to righty bulk reliever Nabil Crismatt. Enrique Hernandez is starting at third base and batting eighth for the Dodgers.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Willing to expand trade list

    Arenado said Wednesday that he will be willing this offseason to expand his list of teams to which he would approve a trade to, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Arenado told the Cardinals last winter that he would be willing to waive his no-trade clause to join the Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, Padres or Astros. However, he wound up blocking a potential deal to Houston and remained in St. Louis for the 2025 season. Being more open-minded to potential trade destinations helps the possibility of a deal going down, but Arenado's declining performance and the roughly $40 million he's still owed remain major roadblocks. Arenado remains a plus defender at third base, but he's slashed just .236/.289/.371 with 11 homers in 105 games this season and will turn 35 next April.

  • Matt Shaw 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Matt Shaw: Big effort in easy win

    Shaw went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Mets.

    Shaw played a key offensive role from the No. 9 spot in the lineup, delivering his 13th home run of the season and 17th stolen base. While the rookie is batting just .230 with a .298 on-base percentage, his combination of power and speed hints at his potential in 2026 and beyond. Shaw has also played well lately, as he's riding a four-game hitting streak and is batting .467 during the stretch.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Resting Wednesday

    Chapman isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Chapman will take a seat for Wednesday's series finale after going 2-for-8 with an RBI and two runs scored over the first two games versus St. Louis. Casey Schmitt will shift over to third base as a result, opening up second for Christian Koss.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Absent from lineup

    Hayes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Pirates.

    Hayes enters play Wednesday in a 0-for-24 drought at the plate, so he will begin the game on the bench. The Reds are rolling out Sal Stewart at third base as they try to even the series.

  • Brady House 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Brady House: Taking seat Wednesday

    House is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    House will get a breather during Wednesday's matinee after starting the last four contests. Paul DeJong will occupy the hot corner and bat ninth for the Nationals.

  • Kyle Karros 3B | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Karros: Two hits Tuesday

    Karros went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Tuesday against the Mariners.

    Karros recorded an RBI in his second consecutive game after knocking in a run with a single in the second inning. He remains the Rockies' primary third baseman, starting 16 of 20 games in September. However, Karros has hit only .222 with three RBI and six runs scored in that span.
