Peterson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Peterson has a .130/.333/.130 slash line with seven walks, five runs and nine strikeouts over his past nine games and will head to the bench Sunday. Luis Urias will take over at the hot corner and bat sixth.

Wisdom is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rockies.

Wisdom is 1-for-17 since he was activated from the injured list last weekend and will sit Sunday for the second time in Chicago's past three games. Alfonso Rivas will take over at first base and bat sixth.

Castro went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Mets.

Castro accounted for three of the Pirates' four hits and their lone run with his ninth-inning solo shot. The 23-year-old infielder has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, going 12-for-42 (.286) with four homers, three doubles, nine RBI and six runs scored in that span. He's been trending in the right direction lately, with the hot stretch putting him at a .244 batting average, .760 OPS, 10 homers, five steals, 21 RBI, 19 runs scored and seven doubles through 56 contests overall.

Escobar went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Pirates.

Escobar's blast in the second inning was all the offense the Mets needed. He's hit safely in 13 of 16 games in September, going 22-for-56 (.393) with nine extra-base hits, including six homers. The 33-year-old's strong month has restored him to a starting role at third base, and it's lifted his season slash line to .240/.292/.434 through 122 contests. He's added 18 homers, 56 RBI, 54 runs scored and 24 doubles.

Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a double and one run scored in a loss to St. Louis in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Reynolds had been dreadful in his last 13 games prior to this one, slashing .143/.211/.171 over 38 plate appearances dating back before his recent hip injury. The 31-year-old is extremely versatile, having spent time at every position except pitcher and catcher this season, though his lack of consistency at the plate limits his effectiveness.

Sosa is dealing with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, which could end his season, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

The Phillies acquired Sosa as a defense-first utility man at the deadline, but he's been better than advertised at the plate in limited action, slashing .315/.345/.593 across 59 plate appearances. Yairo Munoz was recalled Friday to fill his utility role and now seemingly has a path to remain on the roster the rest of the way.

Newman (undisclosed) isn't starting Saturday against the Mets.

Newman exited Wednesday's game against the Reds with an apparent injury and will remain out of the lineup for a third consecutive game. Whether he's available off the bench Saturday remains to be seen.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Cubs.

McMahon took Marcus Stroman deep in the sixth inning to tally his 17th homer of the season. He's gone yard four times in his last six games, three of which came at Coors Field. However, McMahon has still had a disappointing season by maintaining only a 96 wRC+ and .328 wOBA across 530 plate appearances.

Segura went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's loss against Atlanta.

Segura hit a solo shot in the fifth inning to give the Phillies a 2-1 lead before Atlanta would come back to win in the eighth inning. It was Segura's 10th homer of the season and his second this month. The second baseman has been on fire this month, going 13-for-43 (.302), including two multi-hit games. He has gone hitless in just three of 12 games this month. On the season, Segura is slashing .286/.343/.418.

Longoria is out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria has a .445 OPS and 35.1 percent strikeout rate through 11 games in September and will take a seat Friday for the second consecutive contest. David Villar will shift to the hot corner while Wilmer Flores starts at first base.
