Guzman is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

Vaughn Grissom will start at the hot corner and bat fifth Tuesday while Guzman rests on the bench. With Grissom at third, Oswald Peraza is taking over at second. Guzman has gone 4-for-19 with a home run across the last six games.

The Athletics recalled Muncy from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

With Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) facing an extended stay on the injured list, Muncy will rejoin the big club to bolster its infield depth. The 23-year-old owns just a .699 OPS through 175 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he's gone 7-for-20 with two homers, five RBI and five runs scored in five games since his demotion to Triple-A on July 8. He and Tommy White will likely compete for starts at the hot corner until Kuroda-Grauer is healthy.

Mead went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Monday's win over the Rockies.

The Nationals cranked out 12 hits in total, including five extra-base hits, to kick off the Coors Field series, and Mead's three knocks led the way. The 25-year-old infielder has seven multi-hit performances through 13 games in July, slashing .431/.500/.765 on the month with 10 of his 22 hits (six doubles, one triple, three homers) going for extra bases.

Hamilton (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Hamilton has missed the last two weeks of action with a left hamstring strain but has been cleared to test things out in games. If all goes well, the speedy infielder could return from the injured list Friday. Joey Ortiz has posted a 1.013 OPS with three home runs in 11 games since Hamilton was hurt, so Hamilton could operate in more of a reserve role when he returns if the Brewers want to play the hot hand at third base.

Reimer (groin) began a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League on July 14.

Reimer is hitting .429 with one home run in three FCL rehab games, most recently playing Monday. He tweaked his groin and went on the injured list at Double-A Binghamton on June 18, per Matt Eddy of Baseball America. Prior to the injury, Reimer had regressed compared to his run at Double-A in 2025, as he was slashing .212/.332/.391 with six home runs, 13 steals and an unlucky .271 BABIP in 50 games for the Rumble Ponies.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Atlanta on Monday.

Machado kicked off the scoring in the contest with a 402-foot solo shot to center field. That was his 20th long ball of the season, giving the veteran third baseman 11 consecutive campaigns -- excluding the pandemic-shortened 2020 season -- with 20-plus homers. While Machado's .708 OPS so far in 2026 is still on pace for a career-worst mark, he's been substantially better over the past month, posting a 1.016 OPS with eight home runs, 21 RBI and an 18:20 BB:K over his past 25 games.

Durbin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-5 win over the Orioles.

Durbin was the latest hero in Boston's winning streak. His eighth-inning homer over the left-field wall provided the go-ahead run in the club's 14th consecutive victory. It was the 10th home run of the season for Durbin, whose revived bat mirrors that of the team's success. The third baseman is batting .351 (13-for-37) with two homers, five RBI, two steals and eight runs scored over the last 10 games.

Vargas went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs and two RBI in a 10-3 romp over the Rangers on Monday.

Vargas put Chicago on the board in the third inning with a run-scoring double. He added another RBI double in the ninth to help Texas put the game away with a five-run frame. Vargas finished with his fifth three-hit effort of the campaign and collected multiple extra-base hits in a contest for the ninth time. The first-time All-Star is in the midst of a breakout season, slashing .247/.354/.492 while already setting career-high marks in homers (21), RBI (61) and stolen bases (11) through 98 contests.

White went 4-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

This was White's first multi-hit effort, coming in his third career game. The infield prospect is getting a chance to play steadily while Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee) are out. White batted .303 with an .834 OPS over 55 games for Triple-A Las Vegas prior to his call-up coming out of the All-Star break. The Athletics' infield is a bit crowded when everyone's healthy, so it'll be up to White to force his way into the lineup on a consistent basis.

Caminero went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a walk during Monday's 7-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Caminero extended Tampa Bay's lead to 4-1 in the fifth with an RBI single before driving home another run on a double in the seventh. It was his 27th multi-hit game of the season and his sixth outings with three hits. Caminero has reached base safely in nine consecutive games, and over that span he has gone 12-for-34 (.353) with one steal, three home runs, four doubles, six RBI and six runs scored.
