Arenado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

Arenado was pulled from Tuesday's game due to a thumb injury, but he was able to start and play a full game at third base Wednesday. He contributed a solo shot in the eighth inning to get Arizona back within a run, though the comeback effort fell short. Arenado is batting .243 with a .770 OPS, 26 homers, 74 RBI, 71 runs scored, 23 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases over 143 contests. The thumb issue originally cropped up in late August, so it may be a matter of pain management for Arenado the rest of the campaign.

Karros went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 9-3 loss to the Padres.

Karros has gone 7-for-31 (.226) over eight games since he came back from a concussion. The third baseman's tallied two homers in that span. For the season, he's batting .260 with a .782 OPS, 12 homers, 47 RBI, 61 runs scored, 21 doubles, three triples and five stolen bases over 122 contests.

Bregman went 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a double and four RBI during Wednesday's 8-4 win over Atlanta.

Bregman got the Cubs on the board early with an RBI double in the first inning before adding a solo homer in the fourth and a two-run triple in the fifth, falling a single shy from recording the first cycle of his major-league career. The veteran third baseman has had his ups and downs this season, but he's been plenty productive overall with a robust .812 OPS, 26 home runs, 88 RBI and three steals across 681 plate appearances this season.

House is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Phillies.

House manned third base in the first game of the series Tuesday, but he'll take a seat in this one. Jorbit Vivas will cover the hot corner for the Nationals on Wednesday.

Gonzales is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Brewers.

The Pirates will go with Jacob Gonzalez at third base. Gonzales is slashing .303/.411/.368 across his last 90 plate appearances for Pittsburgh.

Muncy is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cincinnati.

The left-handed-swinging Muncy will grab a seat as the Reds send southpaw Andrew Abbott to the bump. Enrique Hernandez will man the hot corner for the Dodgers in Muncy's stead.

Hayes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers.

Hayes has now started only one of the last four contests for the Reds. Cincinnati will go with Eugenio Suarez at third base and Tyler Stephenson in the designated hitter slot.

The Cardinals designated Urias for assignment Wednesday.

Urias has been limited to only 43 games this season due to tennis elbow in both arms, and he's slashed just .151/.260/.326 in those contests. The veteran infielder is likely to pass through waivers and reach free agency.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said following Tuesday's game that Arenado (thumb) will be in the lineup Wednesday, Arizona Sports reports.

Arenado was removed from Tuesday's game due to the injury that flared up following a fifth-inning at-bat. He played another inning before being replaced by Jose Fernandez. Fernandez or Ildemaro Vargas would be in line to replace Arenado at the hot corner should the thumb injury linger.

Arenado was removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins due to right thumb inflammation.

Arenado went 1-for-3 before his thumb forced him out of the game in the seventh inning. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but if the 35-year-old has to miss time beyond Tuesday, Ildemaro Vargas would likely be the next man up to start at the hot corner.
