Anthony Seigler 3B | MIL
Brewers' Anthony Seigler: Losing out on starts to Durbin
Seigler remains out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cubs.
Seigler had started at third base in five of the Brewers' first eight games of August as manager Pat Murphy more proactively shielded rookie Caleb Durbin from right-handed pitching, but Durbin has since re-established himself as Milwaukee's clear top option at the hot corner. Over the last nine games, Seigler has cracked the lineup just once while Durbin has started in the other eight contests.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Getting day off Tuesday
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in his appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that McMahon will be out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.
McMahon will get his second day off overall and first day off against a right-handed starter (Shane Baz) since he was acquired from the Rockies on July 25. Jose Caballero will play third base and bat ninth Tuesday.

Graham Pauley 3B | MIA
Marlins' Graham Pauley: Likely out until mid-September
Pauley is expected to miss about four weeks after straining his right oblique over the weekend, MLB.com reports.
That timeline would have the third baseman out until mid-September, and it's possible the Marlins end up shutting him down completely if his recovery has any hiccups. Pauley has slashed .273/.385/.527 over 25 games since the All-Star break with four home runs and an impressive 10:11 BB:K, but his prolonged absence could give Connor Norby (wrist) a chance to reclaim the starting job at the hot corner heading into 2026. While both players remain on the shelf for the time being, Javier Sanoja will likely see the bulk of the playing time at third base.

Nolan Arenado 3B | STL
Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Being evaluated by team doctors
Arenado (shoulder) was scheduled to meet the Cardinals in Miami and will be evaluated by team doctors Tuesday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Arenado has been rehabbing his right shoulder strain at the team's spring training complex in Jupiter, FL, and made the short trip to Miami to join the club. It does not seem as though Arenado's activation from the 10-day injured list is imminent, but the Cardinals expect to have a clearer picture of his timetable after he meets with team doctors. Arenado has been sidelined for the entirety of August.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Snaps mini-skid
Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
Ramirez's first-inning single snapped an 0-for-11 funk over the previous three games, the second-longest slump of the season for the third baseman. The steal was his 36th of the season.

Caleb Durbin 3B | MIL
Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Homers, swipes bag Monday
Durbin went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total RBI and a stolen base in a 7-0 win against the Cubs on Monday.
Durbin gave Milwaukee a 2-0 lead with a solo homer in the fifth inning. He added a run-scoring fielder's choice in the eighth, then stole second base. It was the first time this season Durbin has swiped a bag and homered in the same contest. The 25-year-old is slashing .255/.334/.377 with seven home runs, 42 RBI, 46 runs and 11 thefts on the campaign.

Maikel Garcia 3B | KC
Royals' Maikel Garcia: Belts 12th homer in win
Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 win over Texas.
Garcia has put together a five-game hitting streak, and he now has at least one hit in nine of his last 10 outings. The 25-year-old speedster is enjoying a career season in 2025 -- Garcia is slashing .302/.363/.473 with 12 homers, 56 RBI, 59 runs scored and 22 stolen bases over 510 plate appearances. He's also three RBI away from establishing a career-high mark.

Jordan Westburg 3B | BAL
Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Dealing with ankle discomfort
Westburg left Monday's game against Boston due to right ankle discomfort, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Westburg is likely being taken for further testing after being forced from Monday's clash. Luis Vazquez entered the game in Westburg's place at third base Monday and could be in line for additional opportunities going forward if the 26-year-old is forced to miss more time, though Coby Mayo and Jeremiah Jackson would also factor into the mix for at-bats. The team believes Westburg's injury to be mild, per Kostka.

Matt Chapman 3B | SF
Giants' Matt Chapman: Progressing well in recovery
Chapman (hand) will take grounders at third base Monday and hit on the field Wednesday in San Diego, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Chapman has been sidelined since Wednesday with right hand inflammation, but he's now quickly set to begin building back up. The third baseman is eligible to return from the 10-day injured list Saturday, and it's possible he'll be able to do so if his fielding and hitting work goes well in the coming days.

Jordan Westburg 3B | BAL
Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Exits early Monday
Westburg left Monday's game against the Red Sox due to an apparent lower-body injury, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Westburg suffered the injury while scrambling back to first base after making a hard turn towards second, and after being checked out by the team trainer, it was determined that he couldn't continue. He'll be considered day-to-day until the club has more news on the severity of the injury.
