Chisholm went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a stolen base and a walk in a loss to the Nationals on Wednesday.

Chisholm put the Yankees on the board with a second-inning solo shot, but New York scored only once more in the defeat. The long ball was Chisholm's second in his past three games and pushed his season total to a career-high 22. Chisholm has looked fine at the plate since returning from an elbow injury last Friday, going 6-for-22 (.273 average) with four extra-base hits, three runs and three RBI across six contests.

Monasterio went 0-for-1 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Giants.

Monasterio has seen little playing time while occupying a short-side platoon role since the All-Star break. He's gone 5-for-22 over his last 14 contests while serving as an infield depth option. For the year, he has a poor .208/.322/.277 slash line with one home run, six steals, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored over 118 plate appearances.

Urshela is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Minnesota.

Urshela had made eight straight starts after joining Atlanta's roster Aug. 20 but will get a breather during Wednesday's series finale. Luke Williams is receiving a rare start at third base.

Marte is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Marte has struggled mightily at the plate overall since completing his 80-game suspension to begin the season and joining the Reds in late June, though his bat has been starting to come around lately. Over his last six contests, Marte has gone 7-for-21 with a home run and two stolen bases, bringing his batting average back to the Mendoza Line (.200) on the season. Despite the recent surge, Marte will cede his spot at third base to the even hotter-hitting Santiago Espinal, who has pushed his way into an everyday role for the Reds while seeing action at a number of different positions.

Lewis is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus Atlanta.

Lewis is going through a rare slump at the plate, having posted a .458 OPS with no home runs and a 16:2 K:BB over his last 55 plate appearances. He'll get a day off to reset. Jose Miranda will start at third base for the Twins on Wednesday.

Devers (shoulders) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Devers is battling soreness in both shoulders and will receive a second straight day off. Shoulder problems have plagued him off and on this season, but at this point, the Red Sox are viewing Devers as day-to-day. Romy Gonzalez will once again pick up a start at third base in Devers' stead.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 7-5 win against the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Machado ended a nine-pitch at-bat with a solo home run in the second inning to put the Padres on the board. It was the slugger's second long ball in as many games and his sixth home run through 23 contests in August. Machado is at 22 homers on the season, so he'll need to stay hot down the stretch to get to 30 home runs for the third straight campaign.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

The Rays are sending right-hander Drew Rasmussen to the mound to open the game, but with lefty Tyler Alexander likely to enter the contest after him as a bulk reliever, the lefty-hitting Rojas will hit the bench. Dylan Moore will cover third base in Rojas' stead.

Hayes' back injury is still being evaluated and there remains no timetable for his return, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The third baseman has been on the 10-day injured list on two occasions this season with back problems and the Pirates are still trying to get a better handle on the injury. Hayes is expected to return at some point during September, but his timeline lacks specificity. The 27-year-old is sporting a lowly .233/.283/.290 batting line this season.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Garcia had picked up starts at either second base or third base in each of the last five games, going 6-for-19 with a home run, a double, two stolen bases and a walk during that stretch. The Royals faced left-handed starters in three of those contests, so Garcia may still be stuck in a part-time role in the Kansas City infield. With right-hander Tanner Bibee on the bump for the Guardians on Wednesday, Royals manager Matt Quatraro will go with Michael Massey at second base and Paul DeJong at third base.
