Karros went 0-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and two stolen bases Saturday against the Cardinals.

It wasn't a typical performance for Karros, but he was productive nonetheless. He reached base in the first and third innings and stole second base on each occasion, and he later lifted a sacrifice fly to provide an insurance run in the ninth frame. Karros has continued his strong season since the All-Star break, hitting .294 with eight RBI and 10 runs scored across 16 contests.

Gonzales went 1-for-5 with a double and three RBI during the Pirates' 9-0 win over the Mets on Saturday.

Gonzales got the Pirates on the board with an RBI in the first inning before extending the team's lead to 8-0 with a two-run double in the fourth. His three RBI matched a season high that he set against the Astros on June 3, and he has gone 6-for-15 with two extra-base hits over his last four games. On the year, Gonzales is slashing .309/.362/.402 with five steals, six home runs and 53 RBI over 467 plate appearances.

Hamilton isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

Hamilton will grab a seat on the bench Saturday after going 4-for-16 with three walks, three runs and a steal through the first week of August. Joey Ortiz will fill the void at third base and bat ninth.

Bohm isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Bohm went 0-for-4 with a walk Friday to snap what had been a six-game hitting streak. Kyle Schwarber will fill in at first base while Bohm sits Saturday, putting Bryce Harper at the DH spot and giving Bryan De La Cruz a start in right field.

Riley went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo homer during Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Yankees.

Neither team scored through the first seven innings, but Riley broke that drought with a solo homer in the eighth. It was the 14th home run of the season for Riley, who has reached base safely in six of his last seven games, going 9-for-23 with seven RBI and five extra-base hits in that span.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.

Arenado is up to 17 homers on the year, including three over six games in August. He's added a 3:5 BB:K so far this month. The third baseman is hitting .241 with a .752 OPS, 54 RBI, 54 runs scored, 20 doubles and three stolen bases across 110 contests this season and should continue to see steady playing time.

Chapman (abdomen) will undergo season-ending surgery Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Chapman will go under the knife to address a hernia that he played through for most of the season. The timing of the procedure will cause him to miss the remainder of the year, so the 33-year-old will close the book on a disappointing 2026 campaign in which he slashed .235/.324/.368 with seven homers, 42 RBI and 35 runs scored across 352 plate appearances. Christian Koss figures to serve as San Francisco's primary third baseman the rest of the way.

Sanoja is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Angels.

Sanoja will exit the lineup after starting each of the last six games. Leo Jimenez will hold down third base as the Marlins open up a homestand Friday.

Jordan is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Rockies.

After starting four of the previous five games, Jordan will begin Friday's festivities on the bench. The Cardinals will roll out Cesar Prieto at third base as they kick off a six-game homestand.

Vivas is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Reds.

The lefty-swinging Vivas started at third base each of the last three times the Nationals faced a right-hander, but he'll begin this one on the bench as righty Chase Petty starts a bullpen game for Cincinnati. Brady House will be at the hot corner and bat third.
