Suarez is away from the team as he attends the birth of his child, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

This explains his absence from Tuesday's lineup. It's unclear when Suarez will rejoin the team at this point, but Patrick Kivlehan and Jose Peraza could benefit from some playing time around the infield in his absence.

Suarez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Suarez has hit just .200/.297/.327 in 55 September at-bats, so he'll head to the bench for the first time in 16 games this month. In his place, Patrick Kivlehan will make his second start of the season at third base, batting seventh.

Wisdom, who hit a career-high 31 home runs for Triple-A Memphis this season, smacked a go-ahead two-run home run in Sunday's Pacific Coast League championship-clinching 3-1 victory over El Paso, William Boor of MLB.com reports.

The slugging infielder launched a two-run blast off Padres prospect Kyle Lloyd in the fifth, snapping a scoreless tie. Wisdom finished the regular season with a .243/.310/.507 line that included 57 extra-base hits (25 doubles, one triple and 31 homers) and 89 RBI, but he also posted a 29.4 percent strikeout rate that was the second highest of his pro career. The 26-year-old also saw his walk rate drop to a career-low 7.5 percent, so his plate discipline remains a work in progress. Wisdom figures to have ample opportunity to show what he can do in spring training next March.

Asuaje is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Asuaje will head to the bench following five straight starts despite collecting at least one hit in each of those appearances. In his place, Yangervis Solarte will slide over to the keystone and Erick Aybar will start at shortstop.

Anderson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Anderson has been operating as the Marlins' primary third baseman over the past couple of weeks, but he'll be stationed on the bench for the second consecutive day as the Marlins close out their home-away-from-home series against the Brewers. Derek Dietrich will take over at third base and bat sixth in his stead.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo homer in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

After a relatively slow start to the season, Rendon has been lights out, posting an OPS just south of 1.000 since the beginning of May. He entered play Saturday with a top-three fWAR in baseball (best in the National League). He's been resting more lately and that may continue over the final weeks of the regular season, but those in weekly lineup leagues should leave him right where he is.

Arenado went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo homer in Friday's 6-1 win over the Padres.

It's his fourth home run in his last nine games and 34th of the year, and Arenado is streaking towards the finish line with a .347/.475/.653 slash line in September. He's still nine RBI shy of tying last season's career high of 133, but if he stays locked in over the Rockies' final 14 games, he might just be able to get there.

Rivera was designated for assignment by Milwaukee on Friday.

Rivera loses his place on the 40-man roster after earning just one appearance with the Brewers this season. The infielder slashed .218/.282/.314 with five home runs and 43 RBI during 107 games with Triple-A Colorado Springs in 2017.

Rendon is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Braves, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

Despite riding a modest five-game hitting streak, Rendon will get the day off as manager Dusty Baker rests his starters ahead of Washington's weekend series against the Dodgers. Adrian Sanchez will draw a start at the hot corner in his stead.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a grand slam in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Cardinals.

The blast was his 25th of the year, and it ended an 18-game homer drought for Suarez. The 26-year-old is slashing only .214/.306/.310 in September, but this might be the spark he needed to finish the season on a high note.
