Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Hayes appears to be receiving some maintenance after he went 8-for-35 (.229 average) with two stolen bases, six runs and two RBI while starting each of the Pirates' last nine games. Jared Triolo will spell Hayes at the hot corner.

Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, two runs and two RBI in Saturday's 10-0 win over Oakland. He also pitched one inning, giving up a hit and no runs.

Hernandez was part of a late-game explosion by Los Angeles' offense, as he doubled home a run in the eighth inning and added another RBI on a single in the ninth. Those contributions helped the Dodgers build a 10-0 lead, and manager Dave Roberts consequently let Hernandez pitch the ninth. He did well in lobbing pitches to A's hitters, giving up a two-out double but nothing more. Hernandez has gone 4-for-7 with two walks over the first two games of the weekend set versus Oakland.

Bohm went 1-for-5 with three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's loss to Seattle.

Bohm drove in Philadelphia's first three runs of the game and also came around to score himself in the fifth on a Brandon Marsh single. The third baseman has now hit safely in five consecutive games and in eight of his last nine overall, tallying six doubles and a triple over that latter stretch to go along with five RBI and four runs scored. Bohm also swiped his fifth bag of the season in Saturday's loss, and it was his first since June 24 against the Tigers.

Berti (calf) has increased his running intensity to 80 percent, and Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that the utility man is "trending back in a good direction," per MLB.com.

Berti has been on the injured list since late May after suffering a left calf strain. He resumed running in late July and has since upped his intensity, though he remains without a definite timeline for a return. Boone did mention Saturday that Berti is closer than Anthony Rizzo (forearm) to rejoining the Yankees, according to the Associated Press.

Rivera will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Rivera has operated as a short-side platoon player for much of his time in the majors this season, but he started the first two games of the series against right-handed pitchers and will remain in the lineup for the finale while southpaw Max Fried toes the rubber for Atlanta. The uptick in playing time against right-handed pitching looks to be a byproduct of the Marlins shipping Josh Bell to the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline, with the deal paving the way for Jake Burger to log more time at first base and designated hitter while Rivera gets more reps at third base.

Marte started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 6-4 win over San Francisco.

Marte, who was held out of the starting lineup the last two games, returned to action Saturday, but the bat remained problematic. He has just two hits over the last 19 at-bats and is batting .172 for the season.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday in a loss to the Orioles.

Ramirez went hitless in his first three at-bats before swatting a two-run homer to right field in the eighth inning. The All-Star third baseman has hit five long balls over his past five contests while racking up 11 RBI and batting .389 (7-for-18) during that span. He needs one home run to record the third 30-homer season of his career and his first since 2021.

Burger went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over Atlanta.

Burger has logged five multi-hit efforts in his last eight games, and he's added five homers, eight RBI and a double over that span. The infielder got Miami on the board with his third-inning solo shot and added another RBI with a single in the fifth as part of the comeback effort. Burger's power was largely absent early in the season, as he hit just four homers over his first 38 games, but he's up to 17 long balls, 46 RBI, 40 runs scored, no stolen bases and a .242/.288/.434 slash line through 88 contests this year.

The Angeles placed Rengifo on the 10-day injured list Saturday with right wrist inflammation.

Rengifo had his right wrist injury flare up in Friday's loss to the Mets and he'll now be forced to miss at least the next week. In a corresponding move, the Angels called up infielder Charles Leblanc from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Rengifo (wrist) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mets, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rengifo was removed from Friday's 5-1 loss early with right wrist irritation and he'll be forced to sit out Saturday. Brandon Drury will slide over to third base while Michael Stefanic enters the lineup at second base and bats ninth against New York.
