Vientos went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

Vientos made an early impact, driving in a run and scoring in the first inning before crushing a 427-foot homer in the third. The 25-year-old has been on a tear since the All-Star break, batting .285 with 19 extra-base hits and 32 RBI over 35 games. For the season, he owns a .245/.298/.441 slash line with 16 home runs, 56 RBI and 41 runs scored across 396 plate appearances.

Arenado (shoulder) expects to begin a rehab assignment next week and return from the 10-day injured list Sept. 15 for the start of the Cardinals' homestand, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Arenado has been rehabbing a right shoulder strain at the team's spring training complex and is nearly ready to play in rehab games, likely at Double-A Springfield. Barring any setbacks, Arenado is expected back for the beginning of the Cardinals' final homestand of the season.

The Marlins placed Norby on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a strained left quadriceps.

Maximo Acosta was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville and is starting at second base Friday against the Phillies, while Javier Sanoja will fill Norby's void at third base and bat ninth. Norby had been batting .303 with a .909 OPS over the previous 30 days.

Perez is slashing .242/.315/.445 with 21 home runs, 10 steals, an 8.4 percent walk rate and a 20.4 percent strikeout rate in 122 games for High-A Winston-Salem.

Perez's .267 BABIP is pushing down his batting average, but he's still been 23 percent better than the average Sally League hitter. Perez is the only hitter under 21 to have 20-plus homers and 10-plus steals in the minors this year. He has started 76 games at second base and 25 games at shortstop.

Ortiz is slashing .340/.443/.515 with three home runs, seven steals, a 13.9 percent walk rate and a 23 percent strikeout rate in 28 games for High-A Peoria.

Ortiz, who has split time between third base and first base for Peoria, was promoted to the Midwest League on July 29 after slashing .285/.406/.446 with 10 home runs, 31 steals and a 27.5 percent strikeout rate in 77 games for Single-A Palm Beach. A 16th-round pick in 2024 out of community college, Ortiz is benefitting from a .444 BABIP at High-A, but he also has a 27 percent line drive rate and a 44.6 percent flyball rate, so his batted-ball profile is ideal. Despite his stolen base totals, the righty-hitting Ortiz is listed at 6-foot-1, 230 pounds and grades as a below-average runner, so it will need to be his bat that carries him.

Devanney is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.

Devanney had drawn four straight starts at third base, but he'll take a seat for Friday's series opener. Jared Triolo is at the hot corner for the Pirates, while Nick Gonzales will play shortstop and Nick Yorke will handle second base.

The Marlins will place Norby on the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game versus the Phillies with an undisclosed injury, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.

It's not clear what injury Norby is dealing with, but he was removed late from the Marlins' last game Wednesday against the Nationals. The Marlins should have more on his status soon. Maximo Acosta will replace Norby on the roster and could be the team's primary third baseman until Graham Pauley (oblique) returns. Norby has been limited to only 77 games this season due to injuries.

Mead went 2-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI on Thursday against the Twins.

Mead has started eight straight games and 10 of the last 11 contests while playing exclusively at third base. In that 11-game span, he's gone 13-for-44 (.295) with three RBI, seven runs scored and five doubles. Mead also has a seven-game hitting streak and should continue to see regular at-bats at least until Miguel Vargas (wrist) rejoins the lineup.

Muncy (oblique) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

Muncy started the game at third base and played five innings before being removed. He also went 1-for-4 with a single. Assuming Muncy avoids a setback, he is expected back during the Dodgers' homestand that begins Monday.

McMahon went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two additional RBI and two total runs scored in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Astros.

McMahon logged his second straight multi-hit effort. He had RBI singles in the second and eighth innings, sandwiched around a solo shot in the fifth. He's still batting just .243 since he was traded to the Yankees, logging 10 extra-base hits and 15 RBI over 35 games with the team. Overall, the third baseman has a .223/.321/.400 slash line with 19 homers, 50 RBI, 57 runs scored and two stolen bases across 135 games between the Yankees and the Rockies.
