Graham Pauley 3B | MIA
Marlins' Graham Pauley: Kicking off rehab assignment
Pauley (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Pauley has been on the shelf for more than three weeks with a right oblique strain but has been cleared to return to game action. He will play third base for Jacksonville on Wednesday and shouldn't need too many rehab contests before being activated from the 10-day injured list. Pauley will beat Connor Norby (quadriceps) back from the IL, so the former should be the Marlins' primary third baseman when he returns, at least until the latter is ready.

Luke Adams 3B | MIL
Brewers' Luke Adams: Healthy again at Double-A
Adams (shoulder) went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in his return to the Double-A Biloxi lineup Tuesday after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.
Adams was back in action for Biloxi for the first time since June 20 after a left shoulder contusion kept him out for an extended period. He was cleared to rejoin the Double-A club after recently wrapping up a nine-game rehab assignment at High-A Wisconsin, during which he slashed .200/.475/.280. During his time with Biloxi this season, Adams has produced a .411 on-base percentage while slugging 11 home runs and stealing 10 bases across 263 plate appearances.

Caleb Durbin 3B | MIL
Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Pair of steals Tuesday
Durbin went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases during Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers.
Durbin logged multiple stolen bases for the third time this season, bringing his season total to 15 steals. The infielder is in the midst of a minor cold spell at the plate, having just one hit in his last 14 at-bats. He's slashing .253/.327/.386 in 443 plate appearances in 2025.

Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
Angels' Yoan Moncada: Swats 12th homer
Moncada went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, three runs scored and a walk in a 12-2 win over the Twins on Tuesday.
The homer was Moncada's first of the month of September and his 12th of the season. The veteran third baseman is working toward ending the campaign on quite the high note. Across his last 81 plate appearances (23 games), Moncada is slashing .300/.395/.571 with 10 extra-base hits, 10 RBI and 13 runs scored to push his OPS up to .815 for the year.

Otto Kemp 3B | PHI
Phillies' Otto Kemp: Homers, steals bag
Kemp went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win against the Mets.
Kemp's solo shot in the second inning was his fifth of the year and first since July 27. He was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday and has since started two games at third base. Kemp is seemingly the everyday option at the hot corner while Alec Bohm (shoulder) is out. Kemp is slashing .233/.310/.380 with 12 extra-base hits through 48 MLB games.

Zach McKinstry 3B | DET
Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Battling back stiffness
McKinstry was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Yankees due to upper-back stiffness.
McKinstry lost what had been a six-game hitting streak during Sunday's contest, and his back will now force him to the bench for Tuesday's series opener. While he recovers, Trey Sweeney will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Jordan Westburg 3B | BAL
Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Could play rehab games this weekend
Westburg (ankle) could begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Previous updates on Westburg's recovery from a right ankle sprain suggested that he was likely to have begun playing in rehab games by now. While that hasn't happened, it appears to be around the corner. The infielder could be back on the Orioles' active roster sometime next week. He's been sidelined since late August.

Pedro Ramirez 3B | CHC
Cubs' Pedro Ramirez: Strong showing at Double-A
Ramirez is hitting .278 with eight home runs, 28 steals and a 15.2 percent strikeout rate in 127 games for Double-A Knoxville.
The switch-hitting infielder has split the year between second and third base for the Smokies, and while he hasn't hit for much power (.108 ISO, .386 SLG), Ramirez has still been 17 percent better than the average Southern League hitter while being the fifth-youngest qualified hitter in the league. He cut his groundball rate from 53.8 percent at High-A last year to 48.9 percent this year at Double-A, but that rate is still too high if Ramirez is to get the most out of his raw power. Ramirez may begin his big-league career as a reserve infielder, but his speed and contact skill make him worth tracking in dynasty leagues.

Charles McAdoo 3B | TOR
Blue Jays' Charles McAdoo: Strong second half for Fisher Cats
McAdoo is slashing .278/.359/.498 with 13 home runs, 20 steals and a 26.1 percent strikeout rate in his last 67 games for Double-A New Hampshire.
The 23-year-old corner infielder had a .550 OPS over his first 48 games this year for the Fisher Cats, so it's been a tale of two seasons for McAdoo. A third baseman by trade, McAdoo saw more time at first base (11 starts) than he had in previous seasons, so he'll have to at least produce enough offense to make up for poor defense at third base or a move to first base. He's up to 179 career games at Double-A, so the righty-hitting McAdoo should head to Triple-A for the start of the 2026 season.
