Wisdom was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Sunday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

The Cubs added their top pitching prospect, Brailyn Marquez, to the big-league squad and Wisdom was the roster casualty. Wisdom ended up spending just a couple days with Chicago, logging a pair of at-bats. He was previously DFA'd by the Mariners in August.

Hayes went 5-for-5 with three runs scored and three doubles in Saturday's 8-0 win over Cleveland.

Hayes scored in the first, third and fourth innings while reaching base in all five of his plate appearances. He added a single in the seventh and a double in the ninth to complete an impressive performance at the plate. Hayes has four homers, 16 runs scored, 10 RBI and a stolen base in 23 games as a rookie. He's added seven doubles and a pair of triples.

Davis isn't starting Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Davis went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts during Game 1 and will take a seat for the nightcap. Robinson Cano will serve as the designated hitter while Luis Guillorme starts at second base.

Muncy (wrist) is starting Saturday against the Angels.

Muncy left Friday's game two innings after tweaking his wrist on a checked swing, but he'll return to the lineup just one day later. Given his quick return, he shouldn't face any limitations heading into the postseason.

Riley aggravated his right quad during Friday's game and won't play again until the first game of the postseason, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

With Atlanta likely claiming the No. 2 seed in the playoffs, manager Brian Snitker said Saturday that the team will be cautious with Riley and hold him out for the final two games of the regular season. However, Snitker said that the injury isn't serious, and Riley is walking around fine while also hitting in the cage. Adeiny Hechavarria is starting at third base Saturday and should do so again Sunday.

Riley isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Red Sox.

Riley returned to the lineup Friday after sitting out Thursday's contest with quadriceps tightness. He'll retreat to the bench Saturday with Adeiny Hechavarria starting at the hot corner.

Senzel isn't starting Saturday against the Twins.

Senzel started two of the past three games, but he'll get a day off after the Reds clinched a playoff berth Friday. Brian Goodwin will start in center field Saturday.

Anderson isn't starting Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Anderson went 0-for-4 with one run and one walk in Friday's win as Miami clinched a spot in the postseason. Jon Berti will shift to third base Saturday with Jazz Chisholm starting at second.

Moustakas went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

Moustakas was brought in to be a leader on this team, and while he's had an uneven couple of months around a stint on the IL with a quad injury, he came up huge Friday to lift the Reds to their first playoff berth since 2013. He's getting hot at the right time -- Moustakas is now 9-for-23 with five doubles and three homers in his last six games.

Muncy left Friday's game against the Angels with an apparent wrist injury, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Muncy appeared to tweak his right wrist on a check swing in the fifth inning Friday, and he was replaced defensively to begin the seventh inning. It's unclear how Muncy's availability will be impacted as a result of the injury.
