Suarez (hand) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies.

Suarez received good news in the form of a negative X-ray after getting hit in the hand by a pitch Sunday, but he'll nevertheless remain out of the lineup for the third straight game. Alex Blandino starts at third base.

Moncada had three walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 win over Cleveland.

Moncada, who has walked five times over the last two games, has been more aggressive at the plate in 2019, seeking out pitches he can drive even when they might be a little outside the zone. The result has been Moncada's best season to date and a slightly reduced walk rate. The strikeouts remain high -- he whiffed in his lone official at-bat Tuesday -- but the White Sox are reaping the benefits from his dangerous bat more often.

Chapman went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in the Athletics' 7-5 win over the Angels on Tuesday.

Chapman provided the crucial blow in the contest, cranking a three-run blast off Jaime Barria in the third inning for his 31st of the season. The 26-year-old's .258 average isn't spectacular, but he's more than made up for it with his career high in long balls, as well as 35 doubles and three triples to leave him with a .528 slugging percentage through 569 plate appearances.

Devers went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer Tuesday against the Twins.

Devers made his lone hit of the contest count, as he recorded his 29th home run. While he's gone hitless in five of his last 10 games, Devers has balanced that out with three multi-hit performances, six RBI and 11 runs in that span. In addition to his outstanding counting stat contributions, Devers has maintained a .320/.369/.579 line across 600 plate appearances for the season.

Muncy (wrist) is scheduled to field groundballs Wednesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Muncy could return next week, and his resumption of baseball activities bodes well for that potential timeline. Assuming all goes well Wednesday, the 29-year-old is expected to advance to hitting shortly thereafter.

Madrigal won't be called up this September, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Madrigal reached Triple-A Charlotte by the end of the season, posting a solid .331/.398/.424 slash line and a miniscule 3.8 percent strikeout rate. Service-time concerns are likely part of the reason why the 22-year-old won't be getting a look down the stretch.

Anderson was placed on the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Anderson has already been shut down for the season after fracturing a finger on his left hand, so this move simply clears up a roster spot.

Moustakas was removed from Monday's game against the Astros in the ninth inning after experiencing pain in his left wrist, which is why he's not starting Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Moustakas was cleared to enter Monday's starting lineup, though he was unable to make it through the entire game. He'll be considered day-to-day until another update on his status is provided.

Kieboom isn't expected to be promoted from Triple-A Fresno during the final month of the season, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.

Kieboom will head to West Palm Beach to see at-bats in case he does need to be called up, though the Nationals are unlikely to promote the prospect unless there's an injury. He made his big-league debut earlier this year, going 5-for-39 with two home runs and four walks over 11 games.

Moustakas isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

Moustakas was given the green light to return Monday after missing time due to a wrist injury, so he's likely receiving Tuesday off as a precaution. Travis Shaw draws the start at the hot corner and will bat sixth.
