Muncy was a late scratch from the Dodgers' lineup for Saturday's game versus Washington for unspecified reasons.

Muncy was originally in Saturday's lineup, as was Dalton Rushing, but both players were scratched about two hours ahead of the start of the game. The Dodgers will presumably provide a reason for the change in short order. Enrique Hernandez is covering third base and batting ninth in Muncy's stead Saturday.

The Rockies selected Machin's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

With Willi Castro (plantar fasciitis) moving to the injured list Saturday, Machin will join the parent club to bolster Colorado's infield depth. The 32-year-old has spent the entire season at Albuquerque, slashing .290/.371/.445 with 12 homers, 73 RBI and 61 runs scored across 488 plate appearances.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 6-1 win over the Marlins.

The veteran third baseman extended his hitting streak to eight games and continued a torrid stretch of baseball that dates back farther. Since the beginning of August, Bregman is slashing .308/.372/.662 with 13 home runs and 34 RBI across 32 games. With the hot stretch, Bregman now has his fifth career season with at least 20 homers and 80 RBI, and his first such campaign since he was with the Astros in 2023.

House went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.

House was one of three Nationals with multiple hits in the contest. He has hit safely in nine of his last 12 games, going 12-for-38 (.316) with 10 RBI in that span. The third baseman is batting .246 with a .717 OPS, 10 home runs, three steals, 41 RBI, 36 runs scored and 14 doubles over 77 contests this season. House will likely continue to see the majority of the time at third base to close out 2026.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a solo home run during Friday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.

The Phillies couldn't get to Chris Sale on Friday with the exception of Bohm, who drove in an RBI double in the second inning before taking the veteran southpaw deep to left field for a 358-foot solo homer in the fourth. Bohm has multi-hit games in back-to-back outings and has gone 18-for-57 (.316) with 15 RBI, four extra-base hits and 12 runs scored over his last 15 games.

Bichette went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 10-6 win over the Giants.

Bichette walked and scored in the first inning before adding a two-run shot in the second. The 26-year-old has now hit safely in five straight games, recording four extra-base hits and scoring five runs in that span. For the year, he's slashing .266/.315/.400 with 15 homers, 68 RBI, 69 runs scored and two steals across 597 plate appearances.

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

Whitcomb has started 10 of 11 games since being called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 24, but he's yet to take advantage of the playing time with a .431 OPS in 38 plate appearances with the Giants. Osleivis Basabe will handle the hot corner while Nate Furman picks up a start at second base Friday.

Muncy is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals.

The Cardinals have southpaw Quinn Mathews taking the mound to begin Thursday's game, so the left-handed bat of Muncy will take a seat. Enrique Hernandez has the start at the hot corner and is batting ninth.

The Marlins designated Jimenez for assignment Thursday.

Jimenez has struggled to a .199 batting average and .565 OPS across 194 plate appearances this season, and he'll now lose his place on both the active and 40-man rosters to make room for Deyvison De Los Santos. Jimenez has never been viewed as much of an offensive threat, but his defensive versatility could be valued by teams browsing the waiver wire for bench depth.

Urias (elbow) entered as a pinch hitter and stayed in for defense in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.

Urias had to be removed from Tuesday's game after he felt soreness in his elbow on a check swing. He's missed much of this season with tennis elbow in both arms and seems unlikely to be 100 percent at any point down the stretch, but Urias should be available again Thursday, if needed.
