Matt Reynolds 3B | CIN
Reds' Matt Reynolds: Homers, drives in four runs
Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI during Tuesday's 14-8 win over the Diamondbacks.
The 31-year-old delivered a two-run homer during the third inning and brought home another two runs with a single in the eighth. Reynolds has appeared in 33 games for Cincinnati this year and has a .277/.349/.404 slash line with two long balls, 11 RBI and three stolen bases, and he should continue seeing regular time at second base until Jonathan India (hamstring) returns from the injured list.

Max Muncy 3B | LAD
Dodgers' Max Muncy: Could return this weekend
Muncy (elbow), who is currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, could be activated from the injured list for this weekend's series against the Giants, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Muncy has gone 2-for-10 through three rehab games, and he hit a walkoff two-run home run for OKC on Tuesday. The slugger went on the injured list May 28 and is eligible to return to the big-league club. It seems likely that he'll be back by the time the Dodgers take on the Giants in San Francisco starting Friday.

Jace Peterson SS | ARI
Brewers' Jace Peterson: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Peterson is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.
The veteran infielder started the past five games but will take a seat Tuesday with lefty Ranger Suarez pitching for Philadelphia. Peterson is unlikely to see consistent starting chances going forward since Willy Adames (ankle/quadriceps) is poised to be activated Wednesday, which will push Luis Urias from shortstop back to third base.

Jeimer Candelario 3B | LAA
Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Won't miss too much time
Candelario's shoulder subluxation isn't expected to cost him much more than the minimum 10 days, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Candelario was diagnosed with the subluxation Tuesday, but it appears to be a fairly minor one. He'll be out until at least next Thursday, with Harold Castro expected to serve as the primary third baseman in Candelario's absence.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Steps out of lineup
McMahon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at San Francisco, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
The 27-year-old went 2-for-5 versus Atlanta on Sunday but still has a .578 OPS over his past 10 games, and he'll take a seat Tuesday for only the third time all season. It's possible McMahon receives more regular off days going forward following the promotion of prospect Elehuris Montero, who is starting at third base against the Giants.

Jose Miranda 3B | MIN
Twins' Jose Miranda: Retreats to bench
Miranda is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
Miranda has produced three home runs while batting .318 over his last six starts, but his playing time could grow more scarce with Max Kepler recently returning from the restricted list and with Carlos Correa (illness) on track to come off the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday. The rookie will be taking a seat Tuesday for only the third time in the Twins' last nine contests.

Brian Anderson RF | ATL
Marlins' Brian Anderson: Undergoes MRI
Anderson (back) underwent an MRI on Tuesday and will visit with a spine specialist Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Anderson hasn't played since May 28 due to his back injury and doesn't yet have a timetable to rejoin the Marlins. However, a better idea of his status will likely come into focus after he visits with a specialist Wednesday. Joey Wendle (hamstring) is also on the injured list, so Jon Berti and Willians Astudillo have seen most of the playing time at third base recently.

Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA
Angels' Anthony Rendon: Fields grounders Monday
Rendon (wrist) took grounders before batting practice Monday, but a timetable for his return remains uncertain, the Associated Press reports.
Rendon has been showing improvement, and a recent medical evaluation indicated that he is healing as expected. The third baseman went on the 10-day injured list with right wrist inflammation May 27 and is eligible to return, but it appears that he'll need additional time before rejoining the big-league club. It's uncertain if Rendon will need to go on a rehab assignment once he's able to play.

Jeimer Candelario 3B | LAA
Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Placed on injured list
Candelario was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder subluxation Tuesday.
Candelario suffered the injury Sunday against the Yankees. The transaction was backdated by one day, meaning Candelario will be eligible to return next Thursday, but it's not yet clear whether that's a potential target date. A subluxation is a minor dislocation, so the third baseman's recovery time will depend on just how minor his particular dislocation is. Harold Castro is the only other Tiger to play third base thus far this season, so he'll likely spend a fair amount of time there in Candelario's absence.

Jason Vosler 3B | SEA
Giants' Jason Vosler: Heading back to minors
The Giants optioned Vosler to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
Vosler's demotion could signal that the Giants expect to bring back Darin Ruf (personal) from the bereavement list ahead of Tuesday's series opener with the Rockies. After being called up from Triple-A last Wednesday, Vosler started at third base in each of the Giants' subsequent five games and went 5-for-16 with two home runs, one double, one walk, one stolen base, four runs and three RBI.
