Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
Angels' Yoan Moncada: Sitting third straight
Moncada (ankle) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Thursday will mark the third consecutive start Moncada has missed since tweaking his ankle during Sunday's contest. His absence will allow Luis Rengifo to make another start at third base and bat fifth.

Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN
Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Sitting Thursday
Hayes isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.
Hayes will get a second straight day to rest after going 0-for-13 in his last four games. Sal Stewart will get the nod at third base instead, opening up first base for Spencer Steer.

Junior Caminero 3B | TB
Rays' Junior Caminero: Out with back issue
Caminero (back tightness) is not in Thursday's lineup against the Blue Jays.
He exited Wednesday's game with back tightness and is still ailing Thursday. Tristan Gray is starting at third base and batting sixth.

Carlos Correa 3B | HOU
Astros' Carlos Correa: Scores twice in win
Correa went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Wednesday against the Rangers.
Correa singled in each of his first two plate appearances and came around to score on each occasion. He has at least one hit in 14 of his 16 starts in September, hitting .294 with three homers, six RBI and 10 runs scored in that span.

Manny Machado 3B | SD
Padres' Manny Machado: Blasts grand slam for 26th homer
Machado went 3-for-5 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Mets.
With the game tied in the fifth inning, the veteran slugger delivered in a massive way, launching a 401-foot shot off David Peterson to give San Diego a lead it never surrendered. It was Machado's 26th homer of the season and his third in the last four games, a stretch in which he's driven in eight runs across just 17 plate appearances. The 33-year-old continues to anchor the Padres' lineup and is now slashing .279/.340/.469 with 26 homers, 92 RBI, 86 runs, 33 doubles and 14 stolen bases through 645 plate appearances.

Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA
Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Explodes with homer, four hits
Suarez went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Royals.
Suarez broke out in a big way -- he entered Wednesday having gone hitless in his last eight games following a two-homer performance Sept. 7 in Atlanta. The All-Star third baseman still has time to turn in the first 50-homer campaign of his career, as he's up to 46 big flies in 2025. That said, Suarez has a miserable .453 OPS over 23 home games since joining Seattle, but his .904 OPS across 20 contests on the road has kept his fantasy value afloat.

Junior Caminero 3B | TB
Rays' Junior Caminero: Battling back tightness
Caminero was removed from Wednesday's game against Toronto due to mid-back tightness, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Caminero had gone 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts before his back forced him to make an early exit during the seventh inning. The Rays are already labeling him as day-to-day, which suggests the injury isn't too serious, though they may give Tristan Gray or Richie Palacios a start at third base Thursday to give Caminero extra time to recover.

Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU
Astros' Isaac Paredes: Could return this weekend
Manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that Paredes (hamstring) is recovering well and will be re-evaluated in the next day or two to determine whether he'll be able to come off the injured list this weekend versus the Mariners, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
The third baseman has been on the shelf nearly two months due to a hamstring strain but appears to be closing in on his return from the injured list. Paredes could be eased back into things as the designated hitter, with Espada indicating that the 26-year-old will be asked to run less than full speed on the basepaths.

Eguy Rosario 3B | SD
Padres' Eguy Rosario: Moves past sports hernia
Rosario (sports hernia) went 5-for-21 with two home runs, two walks, one stolen base, four RBI and four runs in five games for Double-A San Antonio after being activated from the 60-day injured list Sept. 9.
After a rough start to the season at Triple-A El Paso, Rosario was assigned to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on May 19. He had been playing regularly in the ACL for about two weeks before being shut down when he required surgery in June to address a sports hernia. Rosario was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at High-A Fort Wayne on Aug. 19 and then linked up with San Antonio for the tail end of the Texas League season.

Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
Angels' Yoan Moncada: Still out Wednesday
Moncada (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee.
Moncada was lifted from Sunday's contest versus the Mariners due to a left ankle injury and has now missed two straight starts. He's considered day-to-day for the time being. Luis Rengifo will play third base and bat leadoff for the Angels on Wednesday.
