Bregman went 1-for-3 with a grand slam and an additional run scored in Sunday's victory over the Angels.

After Mauricio Dubon led off the third inning with a homer, the Astros loaded the bases for Bregman, and he capitalized by launching a grand slam to right field. The round tripper was his first since Aug. 28 and his 21st on the season. The four RBI give Bregman 82 on the season, good for fifth among third basemen, and with two runs scored on the day, he has 84, which sits second among third basemen.

Wisdom isn't starting Sunday against the Giants.

Wisdom was reinstated from the injured list Saturday but didn't appear in the team's loss to San Francisco. Alfonso Rivas will start at first base and bat seventh Sunday.

Reds manager David Bell said Senzel was withheld from the lineup for Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee to get more time off to work on his swing, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "We're going to take it one day at a time, but I did want to give him a step back in order to have some freedom to work on some things in the cage and then out on the field," Bell said of Senzel, who was one of two Reds players who took batting practice prior to Sunday's game.

Senzel, who also sat out Saturday's 5-1 loss, will get two days off to work on his swing while he endures a prolonged rough patch at the plate. Since the All-Star break, Senzel has hit .202 with a .505 OPS, numbers that have made it tough for the Reds to justify including him in the lineup on an everyday basis even in the midst of a non-contending season. Senzel still looks to have a hold on the Reds' everyday center-field gig for now, but he could lose work to Aristides Aquino and/or Stuart Fairchild down the stretch if his slump continues to linger into the upcoming week.

Muncy (knee) will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Sunday's game against the Padres.

He'll step back into the starting nine for the series finale following a two-game hiatus due to a minor left knee injury. Muncy received an injection to alleviate pain in the knee, so it's possible the Dodgers limit him to a DH-only role for a few games to avoid a flareup down the stretch that might sideline him for a longer period of time.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Moncada will get a breather for the first time since he returned to the lineup Tuesday following a stint on the 15-day injured list due to a hamstring strain. Josh Harrison will check in at third base in place of Moncada, who went 8-for-24 with two home runs, two walks, a double, five RBI and five runs in his first five games back in action.

Arenado is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Arenado is mired in a 6-for-34 (.176) slump, so he will get a day off after starting 14 straight games. Brendan Donovan will man the hot corner in Arenado's place.

Kreidler is starting at third base and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Royals.

Kreidler got Saturday's game off but will now be starting for the eighth time in the last nine contests. The Tigers are clearly wanting to take a look at the rookie, who is slashing .250/.321/.417 early in his career. Jeimer Candelario heads to the bench after starting at third Saturday.

Candelario is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Candelario gets Sunday off after starting at the hot corner Saturday, with Ryan Kreidler taking over. The rookie Kreidler is seeing more playing time as the 54-85 Tigers look toward the future, so Candelario's fantasy value will likely take a hit down the stretch as he sees his playing time reduced.

LeMahieu (toe) hopes to return to action during the Yankees' homestand that begins Sept. 20, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

LeMahieu landed on the injured list Thursday, and it appears he will miss more than the minimum 10 days. However, he might not be out much beyond that. Gleyber Torres will likely remain the Yankees' primary second baseman until LeMahieu is ready to return.

Segura is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, according to Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Segura has not sat much since returning from the injured list in early August, but he will get a day off after making 18 straight starts. Nick Maton will cover the keystone Sunday for the Phillies.
