Shaw is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Brewers.

Shaw slugged his 11th home run of the season in Wednesday's 4-3 victory but will get a breather in Thursday's series finale. Willi Castro will man third base and bat seventh for the Cubs.

Arcia went 1-for-2 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Arcia drew the start at third base with Kyle Karros (back) sidelined, and he's now been in the lineup twice across four games since being activated from the injured list. He drew his two RBI with a sacrifice fly and an infield single and also tallied an insurance run in the sixth inning. Assuming Karros is able to avoid the injured list, Arcia will likely shift to a bench role moving forward.

Baty went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Nationals.

Starting at third base and batting seventh, Baty took Brad Lord deep in the fifth inning to get the Mets on the board as they attempted to rally from an early 4-0 deficit. Baty has homered four times in his last eight games, hitting .370 (10-for-27) over that stretch with a steal, six runs and six RBI while seizing an everyday role in the lineup between the hot corner and the keystone.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-1 win against the Giants on Sunday.

Machado flashed his power with a 425-foot solo blast in the third inning. The long ball was his first since July 29 -- a span of 19 games. The veteran third baseman had only four RBI during that homerless span, and the Padres could really benefit if he's able to turn things around down the stretch. Despite the recent struggles, Machado still has a healthy 21 home runs and 74 RBI on the campaign, and his .837 OPS is on pace to be his best mark since 2022.

Shaw went 1-for-2 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

Shaw has been on a nice run since the All-Star break, as he's now batting .302 with nine home runs, 17 runs scored and 18 RBI across his last 30 games. The rookie third baseman has put some early season struggles behind him, and with the Cubs not acquiring anyone to replace Shaw at the hot corner before the trade deadline, he should be locked into a regular role down. The 23-year-old's fantasy value is trending upward based on his strong recent performance and fairly consistent playing time.

Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said that Karros is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to back tightness, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

The injury doesn't appear to be severe and Karros should be considered day-to-day for the time being. He'll be available off the bench as an emergency option while Orlando Arcia starts at third base and bats eighth. Karros has gone 10-for-37 (.270 average) with one home run, five RBI and 10 runs in 12 games since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 8.

Durbin is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Cubs on Wednesday.

Durbin -- who has started each of the Brewers' last six games -- will be on the bench for the beginning of Wednesday's contest while Anthony Seigler starts at third bast and bats sixth. Durbin has a .671 OPS with three steals, six doubles, three homers and 10 RBI over 101 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

House is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

After a string of three straight starts at the hot corner, House will give way to Paul DeJong on Wednesday. Since the beginning of August, House is hitting just .178 with zero home runs, one stolen base, six RBI and three runs in 14 games. Though the Nationals remain committed to giving House an extended look at third base down the stretch, mining fantasy value from the rookie could prove difficult.

Mauricio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Washington.

On the bench for a third straight contest, Mauricio looks to have faded into more of a part-time role after he had been serving as a near-everyday player coming out of the All-Star break. The downturn in playing time comes while Mauricio has mustered a weak .154/.214/.154 slash line since the beginning of August. The Mets appear to be prioritizing Brett Baty and Mark Vientos ahead of Mauricio while the former two players have been more productive at the plate so far this month.

Arenado (shoulder) could be cleared to resume hitting as soon as Thursday or Friday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Arenado has been rehabbing his right shoulder strain at the Cardinals' spring training complex in Florida and said Tuesday that he's "making strides" in his recovery. The veteran third baseman does not appear close to returning, however, as he has yet to resume hitting or throwing. The former is expected to occur later this week, and the latter could happen shortly thereafter. It seems unlikely at this point that Arenado will be back before September.
