Wisdom was scratched from Sunday's lineup versus the Cardinals due to right wrist soreness.

Wisdom was slated to start at third base but was pulled from the lineup due to the wrist issue. It's unclear if he'll be available off the bench, and he'll have Monday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery before potentially missing additional time. Matt Duffy was set to sit Sunday but will instead start at the hot corner.

Duffy is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals.

Duffy has a six-game hit streak in which he has a 1.119 OPS, but he will head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. David Bote will start will man the keystone in his absence.

Kieboom (forearm) is in the lineup for Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Kieboom didn't start the past two games while dealing with a left forearm injury, but it was apparently a minor concern as he's back in the lineup for the series finale. The 24-year-old has struggled through 21 games in September with a .167/.244/.179 slash line, and he'll attempt to finish with a strong final week of the season now that he's healthy enough to play.

Hayes is out of the lineup Sunday versus the Phillies.

Hayes will head to the bench after starting the past four games and going 5-for-18 with a home run, four RBI, two runs and two stolen bases. Hoy Park will cover the hot corner in his place Sunday.

Escobar went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Mets. He was also hit by a pitch.

The infielder accounted for half of Milwaukee's hits and all of the team's run production in the low-scoring win. Escobar had gone 0-for-15 in a four-game series versus the surging Cardinals, but he's found more success against the Mets' pitching staff. For the season, the 32-year-old has a .249/.313/.468 slash line with 28 home runs, 85 RBI, 73 runs scored and a stolen base across 576 plate appearances.

Kieboom (forearm) had an MRI come back clean and is available off the bench Saturday at Cincinnati, Pete Kerzel of MASNSports.com reports.

Kieboom is sitting out a second consecutive game due to the left forearm injury, though it doesn't appear to be a serious concern. Jordy Mercer will start at the hot corner in his place for Washington.

Longoria is out of the lineup Saturday at Colorado, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria started the past five games and will head to the bench after going 4-for-18 with a double, two runs and eight strikeouts. Wilmer Flores will work at third base Saturday for San Francisco.

Kieboom (forearm) remains on the bench for Saturday's game against Cincinnati.

Kieboom was scratched from Friday's lineup with a left forearm injury and will wind up missing at least two starts. How much longer he'll miss beyond that point is not yet clear. Jordy Mercer will again be the starter at the hot corner.

LeMahieu is sitting Saturday against the Red Sox due to a "hip/groin thing," per manager Aaron Boone, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Boone said he hopes LeMahieu will be able to return Sunday. The infielder has apparently been grinding through the issue for a while, but he was banged up after Thursday's game and needed a day off. Rougned Odor will start at the hot corner in his stead.

LeMahieu will hit the bench Saturday against Boston.

LeMahieu has had a disappointing season at the plate and has been particularly mediocre over his last 16 games, posting a .681 OPS, the product of a .267/.348/.333 slash line. Rougned Odor takes over at third base for Saturday's contest.
