Baty went 1-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Monday's 8-5 win over Atlanta.

Baty broke things open in the first inning with his first career grand slam off Bryce Elder. The 26-year-old Baty has gone just 4-for-27 over his past 10 games, but two of those hits have left the yard. On the season, he's slashing .215/.286/.330 with eight homers, 38 RBI, 42 runs scored and five steals across 379 plate appearances.

Bohm is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Bohm drew two walks and recorded two base hits Sunday against the Blue Jays, but after playing all 12 innings of the Phillies' 7-6 win, he'll be given a breather as Philadelphia opens up a three-game set in St. Louis. Kyle Schwarber will step in at first base in place of Bohm, who has gotten on base in each of his first eight starts of August.

Mathis (undisclosed) has gone 1-for-11 with a double, three walks, two RBI and a run scored in three games for High-A Brooklyn since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Acquired from the Cubs in a June 25 deal that sent left-hander David Peterson back to Chicago, Mathis didn't make his Mets organizational debut until July 23 while he recovered from an unspecified injury that had kept him on the shelf at High-A South Bend since June 21. After appearing in six rehab games between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A St. Lucie, Mathis was given the green light to join the Mets' South Atlantic League affiliate.

Reimer (groin) has gone 3-for-16 with one walk, four RBI and three runs in four games for Double-A Binghamton since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Reimer had been on the shelf since June 18 while recovering from a groin strain. The 22-year-old third baseman has turned in a .212/.318/.379 slash line with six home runs and 12 stolen bases over 54 games with Binghamton on the season.

Sanoja went 2-for-4 with three RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Angels.

Sanoja delivered an RBI single in the fourth inning before driving in two more in the fifth. The 23-year-old has now hit safely in seven of eight August contests, going 10-for-27 with five extra-base hits and seven RBI during that stretch. On the year, he's slashing .274/.312/.411 with four homers, 42 RBI, 29 runs scored and six stolen bases across 318 plate appearances.

Bichette went 5-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 11-1 victory over the Pirates.

Bichette led the Mets' 15-hit barrage Sunday, as the third baseman matched a career high with five hits. Bichette has gone 11-for-26 (.423) with three doubles and a home run over his last six games. Overall, he's slashing .263/.307/.378 with 11 homers, 59 RBI, 57 runs scored and a stolen base across 511 plate appearances this season.

Bregman went 3-for-6 with a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Royals.

Bregman has mostly underwhelmed in his first season with the Cubs, but he turned back the clock with a productive performance Sunday. The veteran third baseman historically plays better down the stretch, and he should remain in the lineup most days as Chicago jockeys for playoff positioning. Bregman is now slashing .263/,317/.395 with a home run, six RBI and six runs scored across nine games this month.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Muncy went 0-for-6 with a walk and four strikeouts in the first two games of the series, and he'll take a seat against Arizona lefty Eduardo Rodriguez in the finale. Enrique Hernandez will step in at the hot corner Sunday for the Dodgers.

Fermin will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Fermin will be included in the lineup for the sixth time in seven games, with four of those starts coming against right-handed pitching. He could be emerging as the preferred option at third base, as rookie Blaze Jordan (122 wRC+ versus lefties, 52 wRC+ versus righties) has struggled against same-handed pitching this season.

Jordan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Jordan will head to the bench for the second time in the series and has now been excluded from the starting nine in three of the Cardinals' last four matchups with right-handed pitchers. Jose Fermin may have overtaken Jordan the team's preferred option at third base while Jordan has struggled to a .236/.250/.315 batting line (52 wRC+) in 96 plate appearances versus righties.
