Arenado (shoulder) went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a walk in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Athletics.

Arenado missed one game with the injury. His lone hit was a sixth-inning single, and he later scored on a Josh Fuentes sacrifice fly. Arenado has gone 10-for-37 (.270) with a homer, five RBI and seven runs scored in his last 10 games.

Candelario went 3-for-5 with two runs scored during Tuesday's 6-0 victory over the Royals.

Candelario stranded four men on base, but nonetheless had a productive outing. He has raked over his last 15 games, slashing .404/.483/.673 with three home runs. He improved his average to .333 for the season.

Chapman underwent successful surgery to repair a torn right hip labrum and has a four-month recovery timeline, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The 27-year-old finishes 2020 with a .232/.276/.535 slash line, 10 homers and 25 RBI in 37 games. If all goes well in his recovery, Chapman should be healthy for the start of spring training in February, though any minor setbacks could bring a delayed arrival to camp. Jake Lamb is likely to see the bulk of the time at third base for the A's since Chad Pinder (hamstring) is also sidelined.

Reynolds cleared waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to the Royals' alternate training site.

Reynolds was designated for assignment Saturday, but he'll remain in the organization after failing to secure a spot on another 40-man roster. The 29-year-old went 0-for-11 during his four days on the major-league roster this year.

Muncy will sit Tuesday against the Padres, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Muncy sits for just the second time all season. Cody Bellinger starts at first base, with Edwin Rios getting the nod at third.

McMahon is not in the lineup Tuesday against lefty Sean Manaea and the Athletics, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

McMahon started against eight of the first nine southpaws the Rockies faced this season, but he's now sat against four of the last five. Garrett Hampson starts at second base, while Josh Fuentes remains the starter at first.

Arenado (shoulder) will bat cleanup and play third base Tuesday against Oakland, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Arenado sat Sunday due to a shoulder issue, though it was evidently a minor one, as he's now ready to go following Monday's scheduled off day. He's been disappointing at the plate this season, especially in September, hitting .237/.293/.368 in 10 games. The shoulder issue may have been part of that.

Newman is not starting Tuesday against the Reds.

Newman has started 36 of the Pirates' 47 games so far this season, though he hasn't exactly earned the playing time. He's hitting just .227/.276/.284, quite a disappointment after he hit .308/.353/.446 in 130 games last season. JT Riddle will be the second baseman in his absence.

Urshela (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Urshela was sidelined with a bone spur in his right elbow, but he spent the minimum amount of time on the injured list. He participated in a simulated game Monday and will now be available to return to game action. Urshela should resume his role as the Yankees' primary third baseman going forward.

Suarez landed on the paternity list Tuesday.

Players usually miss around three days on the paternity list, though it's possible that pandemic-related protocols could slightly delay Suarez upon his return. Aristides Aquino was recalled to take his place on the roster, while Freddy Galvis joins the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates in his absence, starting at second base and pushing Mike Moustakas over to third.
