Machado went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs.

Machado notched his 37th RBI of the season following an RBI single in the bottom of the third inning that scored Tommy Pham, but he would remain silent the rest of the way. The star third baseman has hit safely in nine of the Padres' last 12 games, though, and he has racked up two homers, nine RBI and a .846 OPS during that stretch.

Vosler went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

He got the scoring going in the fifth inning when he pulled a Kyle Gibson cutter off the right-field foul pole. Vosler, who was later pinch-hit for by Mauricio Dubon, has provided some nice pop in his limited opportunities this season, as he now has three homers in 32 at-bats.

Muncy, who is being held out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates while he manages a sore right ankle, is expected to be limited to playing first base if he rejoins the starting nine for Thursday's series finale, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Muncy returned from a two-game absence due to the ankle injury in Tuesday's 5-3 win, going 2-for-5 with an RBI. He'll sit Wednesday as part of a pre-planned maintenance program, but the ankle injury still looks to be affecting Muncy in the field, even though he didn't aggravate the issue Tuesday. According to Juan Toribio of MLB.com, manager Dave Roberts noted that Muncy won't be a candidate to go on the injured list, but the 30-year-old will work solely as a first baseman in the short term since the sore ankle is limiting his mobility too much for him to capably handle the keystone.

Sosa went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to Cleveland on Tuesday.

Sosa's fourth-inning single that plated Tyler O'Neill represented the biggest offensive success for the Cardinals on a forgettable night. The 25-year-old has reached safely in six of the last seven games and owns a .271/.374/.365 slash line through 99 plate appearances, the type of numbers that could continue to help earn him semi-regular playing time even when Paul DeJong (ribs) returns to action.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Muncy battled a sprained ankle over the weekend, but he returned to the lineup for Tuesday's 5-3 win and went 2-for-5 with an RBI. While Muncy didn't experience a setback during the contest, manager Dave Roberts noted that he planned to give the veteran a maintenance day Wednesday. Muncy will presumably check back into the starting nine for Thursday's series finale.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Tuesday that Muncy will be given the day off Wednesday, per Dodger Insider.

After being limited to one pinch-hit opportunity over the weekend due to a sprained right ankle, Muncy was inserted back into the lineup Tuesday and made his mark with a pair of singles, including a fifth-inning base knock that plated Mookie Betts. There is no indication that Muncy aggravated the injury in the win, so the decision to keep him out of action Wednesday is likely precautionary as the veteran isn't yet entirely free of pain in the ankle.

Riley went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an RBI double during Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Phillies.

The 24-year-old opened the scoring Tuesday with an RBI double during the first inning, and he also knotted the game at 5-5 with a solo shot in the eighth. Riley has a .352/.419/.703 slash line with eight home runs, eight doubles, 20 RBI and 16 runs in his past 25 games.

Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 7-1 win over the Padres on Tuesday.

Wisdom welcomed San Diego reliever Miguel Diaz to the game in the sixth with a two-run home run to extend Chicago's lead to 5-0. The long ball has become a regular occurrence for the late-blooming third baseman, who now has eight on the season and four in his past four games. Even when he cools off, look for Wisdom to remain in the lineup as Chicago is 9-5 in the 14 games Wisdom has appeared since being recalled May 25.

The Brewers recalled Peterson from Triple-A Nashville prior to Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Peterson was designated for assignment May 24 after he finished his rehab assignment for an injured thumb, and he was ultimately outrighted to Triple-A on May 26. He'll now return to the Brewers, where he'll look to improve upon the .208/.321/.458 slash line that he posted in 28 major-league plate appearances during April. Peterson will take the roster spot of Keston Hiura, who was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Anderson (shoulder) is moving well and preparing to start a hitting progression, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The 28-year-old likely remains at least a couple weeks from returning as he recovers from a left shoulder subluxation. It's unclear whether Anderson will require a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated, but the Marlins eagerly await the return of his bat to their struggling lineup.
