Candelario started at first base and went 0-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 11-7 loss to the Mariners.

Candelario, who has one hit in his last 32 at-bats and is batting .117 this year, has managed to get regular opportunities all season thanks to infield injuries, with his 60 at-bats ranking fourth on the team. Just as the Reds got healthy and it looked like Candelario would lose playing time, the team placed first baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back) on the 10-day injured list Thursday. With Spencer Steer's shoulder limiting him to designated hitter, Candelario could be the primary first baseman while Encarnacion-Strand is out.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and three total RBI in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies.

Chapman was the lone Giant to have any luck against Cristopher Sanchez in the defeat -- the third baseman got San Francisco on the board with a two-out RBI single in the first inning before cutting the deficit to 5-3 with a homer in the sixth, his third this season. Following an 0-for-22 stretch, Chapman has gone 7-for-16 (.438) in his last four contests. He's now batting .239 with an .804 OPS, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases through 83 plate appearances this season.

Manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that LeMahieu could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

LeMahieu has been taking at-bats at the team's complex in Florida and appears to be trending toward returning to a competitive setting within the next week. His time in the minor leagues isn't expected to be brief, however, as the Yankees have said that the veteran infielder will require a lengthy buildup period after missing almost the entire Grapefruit League schedule.

Smith (thumb) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

Thursday will mark the third straight game Smith has missed while he continues to nurse a bruised thumb. Dustin Harris will pick up another start in left field as a result, and the Rangers may consider placing Smith on the IL if he's unable to return to action soon.

Lewis (hamstring) will do some light baserunning Thursday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

While he won't be running full-bore, this appears to be the first time Lewis has run the bases since he suffered a strained left hamstring in mid-March. Lewis has also taken on-field batting practice and gone through defensive drills this week, so he is making clear progress. That said, it's uncertain when he will be ready for a rehab assignment, so a target for his return to the Twins' lineup remains up in the air.

Urshela is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

Urshela will take a seat for the day game after he started at third base in each of the Athletics' previous three contests. Max Schuemann will fill in at the hot corner for Urshela, who is batting .196 with no home runs or stolen bases across 50 plate appearances on the season.

The Brewers optioned Dunn to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

Dunn has started at third base all 11 times the Brewers have faced a right-handed pitcher this season, but he'll head back to the minors after slashing just .167/.205/.222 across 41 plate appearances. The Brewers have not announced a corresponding roster move, but they could recall Caleb Durbin from Nashville to take over as their primary option at the hot corner.

Miami optioned Pauley to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

The Marlins had optioned Pauley to Triple-A on March 16, but he ended up being recalled just over a week later and was included on the Opening Day roster after Connor Norby suffered an oblique strain in the team's second-to-last spring training game and was placed on the injured list. Pauley had served as Miami's primary third baseman against right-handed pitching over the first three weeks of the season but didn't do much with the opportunity, slashing .191/.235/.277 over 52 plate appearances. With Norby completing a rehab assignment and returning from the IL on Thursday, Pauley will now head to Jacksonville, where he'll get the chance to play on an everyday basis.

The Reds recalled Marte from Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.

Marte was just sent down Tuesday but has returned to take the roster spot vacated by Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 23-year-old didn't play much in his previous brief stint with the Reds and might not this time around, either, although there should be some reps at third base up for grabs while Jeimer Candelario shifts over to first base to cover for Encarnacion-Strand.

The Marlins reinstated Norby (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Thursday. He'll start at third base and bat second in the Marlins' series finale versus the Diamondbacks.

Graham Pauley was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move, clearing the way for Norby to step back in as Miami's primary third baseman. The 24-year-old had been on track to open the season as an everyday player for the Marlins before he strained his left oblique in the Marlins' penultimate spring training game. After a few weeks of rest and rehab, Norby was cleared to head out on a rehab assignment last weekend, and he went 4-for-8 with a solo home run and a pair of walks over three games with Jacksonville. Now healthy, Norby will likely continue to maintain a prominent spot in the Miami lineup against both right- and left-handed pitching.
