Hayes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Hayes started in each of the Reds' last four games, but he went just 1-for-9 during that stretch to bring his season-long batting line down to a grisly .138/191/.234 over 178 plate appearances. Eugenio Suarez will fill in at third base for Hayes on Wednesday.

Vivas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

The Nationals will keep the left-handed-hitting Vivas on the bench for the second day in a row while the Cubs send another lefty (David Peterson) to the hill. Brady House will spell Vivas at third base and will bat third.

Sanoja is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Leo Jimenez will get the nod at third base in place of Sanoja, who extended his hit streak to seven games with a 1-for-3 effort in Tuesday's 2-0 win. Sanoja appears to be locked into a near-everyday role, as he started in each of the last three games and is batting .284/.312/.432 with nine extra-base hits (one home run, eight doubles), one stolen base, eight runs and eight RBI since the All-Star break.

The Rockies placed Karros on the 7-day injured list Wednesday due to a concussion.

Karros hit a game-tying two-run home run in the top of the sixth inning of Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks, and then left the game in the bottom half of the frame after colliding in the field with teammate Ezequiel Tovar while both were pursuing a grounder. Per David Brandt of the Associated Press, Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer said after the game that Karros entered concussion protocol. With that, Karros will be held out of action for the next week, which likely clears the way for Willi Castro to serve as the Rockies' primary third baseman in the interim.

Koss went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Astros.

Koss lined a double to left field in the sixth inning, driving in San Francisco's final run. He's recorded a hit in three straight games and is batting .191 with three runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base across 49 plate appearances since the All-Star break. He figures to continue seeing increased opportunities for the injury-plagued Giants, as Matt Chapman (abdomen) underwent season-ending surgery Tuesday.

Karros went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Karros had gone 1-for-12 with a walk and two strikeouts over his previous four games. His homer Tuesday ended a 19-game stretch without a long ball. The third baseman hasn't been able to tap into much consistent power this year with just 10 homers over 112 contests. He's slashing .265/.361/.424 with 44 RBI, 58 runs scored, 20 doubles, two triples and five stolen bases.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Nationals.

After tallying three hits in his last game Sunday, Bregman stayed locked in at the plate as he delivered his 13th home run of the season in the sixth inning Tuesday. The veteran third baseman is having a solid month so far with an .824 OPS, two long balls and seven RBI in 10 August contests. Bregman appears to be heating up in time for Chicago's playoff push, which is also good news for fantasy managers who have remained patient throughout the year while the 32-year-old struggled to get going.

The Pirates reinstated Yorke (shoulder) from the minor-league 7-day injured list Tuesday, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.

Yorke was on the 7-day injured list since June 18 due to a shoulder injury. He has rejoined Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday after spending his rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton.

The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

There's no word yet on the corresponding roster move, but Pauley's promotion could signify Kyle Stowers (hamstring) is a candidate for the injured list. Pauley has slashed a dreadful .190/.229/.300 with one home run and a 5:25 BB:K over 41 games with the big club this season.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a stolen base in Monday's 9-0 win over the Rockies.

Arenado set the tone early with a first-inning slam, allowing the Diamondbacks to cruise to the win. This was his fourth homer over nine games in August, and he's batting .250 (8-for-32) with eight RBI this month. The third baseman is hitting .242 with a .755 OPS, 18 homers, 58 RBI, 55 runs scored, 20 doubles and four steals over 113 contests this year, and he's trending up as Arizona remains in the thick of the playoff race.
