Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that McMahon (illness) will play a rehab game with Double-A Somerset on Wednesday before being activated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

McMahon is coming back from a throat and ear infection but will be back when his 10 days are up. The Yankees have used a combination of Jose Caballero and Amed Rosario at third base since McMahon went down, but McMahon should net most of the starts at the hot corner versus righties upon his activation.

Muncy went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Monday's 9-4 win over the Athletics.

Muncy logged his third multi-hit effort in his last five games. He hadn't gone yard since his two-homer game versus the White Sox on June 13, batting just .214 (9-for-42) during his 13-game power drought. The third baseman is up to 17 long balls, 37 RBI, 51 runs scored, 11 doubles, one triple and one stolen base while batting .265 with an .873 OPS over 79 contests this season.

Sanoja went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, a run and three RBI in a 10-7 win over the Rockies on Monday.

Sanoja had one of the biggest hits of the game for the Marlins, clearing the bases with a three-run triple in the seventh inning to give the team a 9-5 lead. He finished a homer shy of a cycle while logging his second three-hit performance over his past three contests. Sanoja isn't typically counted on to be a run producer -- in fact, his three RBI in the win were more than he had tallied across his previous 16 games combined. Still, he's started at third base in two of the Marlins' past three contests and may be picking up momentum there, as Miami hasn't gotten much production from that position this season.

Arenado went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Monday's 5-4 win over the Giants.

Arenado logged his first multi-hit effort since June 19 versus the Twins. The homer also ended a 24-game power drought -- his last long ball was June 1 versus the Dodgers. During the slump, he hit just .170 with four doubles and five RBI. The veteran third baseman is batting .243 with a .717 OPS, nine homers, 34 RBI, 36 runs scored, 15 doubles and three stolen bases over 79 contests this season.

Durbin went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 6-3 win over Washington.

Durbin launched a hanging sweeper over the Green Monster for a solo homer to extend Boston's early lead in the first inning. The third baseman has caught fire at the plate in June, slashing .325/.360/.614 with six homers, 13 RBI, 16 runs and five stolen bases across 24 games this month. Overall, the 26-year-old is hitting .231/.286/.393 with seven homers, 35 RBI, 31 runs and nine stolen bases across 76 games this season.

Vukovich (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list June 17.

Vukovich suffered a shoulder injury April 9 while playing for Triple-A Reno, but he managed to return on the front end of his initial 2-to-3 month timetable. He's slashing .308/.438/.577 with two home runs, four RBI and five runs scored in eight games since returning from the IL.

Pauley is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

The Marlins will send Pauley and two other left-handed batters (Griffin Conine and Owen Caissie) to the bench while lefty Sean Sullivan toes the rubber for Colorado in the series opener. After being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Pauley started at third base in two of the Marlins' three matchups with right-handed pitchers in St. Louis over the weekend, going 2-for-6 with two doubles, two RBI and one run. He could occupy the strong side of a loose platoon at the hot corner with Javier Sanoja, who will occupy the position Monday.

Walton isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

Walton will retreat to the bench for Monday's series opener after also getting the day off Sunday. This will give Oswald Peraza a second straight start at the keystone.

Hamilton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

The left-handed-hitting Hamilton will hit the bench for the second time in the Brewers' last three games, with both of his absences coming against left-handed starting pitchers. Joey Ortiz will replace Hamilton at third base Monday while southpaw Nick Lodolo toes the rubber for Cincinnati.

Gonzales is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Phillies on Monday.

The Pirates will role with the lefty-hitting Tyler Callihan at third base, who will bat seventh and face Phillies' right-hander Aaron Nola in Monday's series opener. Gonzales has reached base safely in six of his last seven games, going 9-for-24 (.375) with one home run, two RBI and six runs scored in that span.
