Jung started at third base and went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over Kansas City.

Jung returned to the starting lineup after getting a three-game break, but his night ended after five innings. Josh Smith entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth against right-handed reliever Taylor Clarke. It looked like a brief July stint in the minors had straightened out Jung, who went 13-for-34 (.382) with four walks, three home runs, eight RBI and eight runs scored over his first 11 games back in the majors. Since then, however, the third baseman is batting .128 with two walks and two RBI over 12 games.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-1 win against the Giants on Sunday.

Machado flashed his power with a 425-foot solo blast in the third inning. The long ball was his first since July 29 -- a span of 19 games. The veteran third baseman had only four RBI during that homerless span, and the Padres could really benefit if he's able to turn things around down the stretch. Despite the recent struggles, Machado still has a healthy 21 home runs and 74 RBI on the campaign, and his .837 OPS is on pace to be his best mark since 2022.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 2-1 win against the Reds on Wednesday.

Offense was sparse on both sides, and Moncada hit the only homer in the contest with a solo shot to center field in the fourth inning. The long ball snapped a 20-game homer drought for the third baseman dating back to July 19. Moncada batted a meager .208 with 19 strikeouts during that rough stretch, though he may be turning things around -- over his past eight contests, he's batting .333 (8-for-24) with three extra-base hits and four RBI.

Shaw went 1-for-2 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

Shaw has been on a nice run since the All-Star break, as he's now batting .302 with nine home runs, 17 runs scored and 18 RBI across his last 30 games. The rookie third baseman has put some early season struggles behind him, and with the Cubs not acquiring anyone to replace Shaw at the hot corner before the trade deadline, he should be locked into a regular role down. The 23-year-old's fantasy value is trending upward based on his strong recent performance and fairly consistent playing time.

Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said that Karros is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to back tightness, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

The injury doesn't appear to be severe and Karros should be considered day-to-day for the time being. He'll be available off the bench as an emergency option while Orlando Arcia starts at third base and bats eighth. Karros has gone 10-for-37 (.270 average) with one home run, five RBI and 10 runs in 12 games since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 8.

Durbin is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Cubs on Wednesday.

Durbin -- who has started each of the Brewers' last six games -- will be on the bench for the beginning of Wednesday's contest while Anthony Seigler starts at third bast and bats sixth. Durbin has a .671 OPS with three steals, six doubles, three homers and 10 RBI over 101 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

House is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

After a string of three straight starts at the hot corner, House will give way to Paul DeJong on Wednesday. Since the beginning of August, House is hitting just .178 with zero home runs, one stolen base, six RBI and three runs in 14 games. Though the Nationals remain committed to giving House an extended look at third base down the stretch, mining fantasy value from the rookie could prove difficult.

Mauricio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Washington.

On the bench for a third straight contest, Mauricio looks to have faded into more of a part-time role after he had been serving as a near-everyday player coming out of the All-Star break. The downturn in playing time comes while Mauricio has mustered a weak .154/.214/.154 slash line since the beginning of August. The Mets appear to be prioritizing Brett Baty and Mark Vientos ahead of Mauricio while the former two players have been more productive at the plate so far this month.

Lewis is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Athletics.

Lewis will receive a routine day off after starting each of the previous eight games. Ryan Fitzgerald will cover third base and bat ninth for Minnesota.

Caballero went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk and three total RBI in Tuesday's 13-3 rout over Tampa Bay.

The Yankees tied a franchise record with nine total home runs in the romp, with three different players clubbing two long balls apiece. Caballero was the least likely of those three -- coming into the contest, he had gone 50 games since his last home run and had belted just two over 96 games on the season. The unexpected power display was another notch in what has been an explosive four-game stretch for the utility man. Caballero has started in each of those four contests at three different positions (right field, shortstop and third base) while going a scorching 7-for-15 at the plate with six runs, four RBI and four stolen bases. While he doesn't have an everyday spot in the lineup and is part of a crowded roster, Caballero's hot stretch has made it hard for the manager Aaron Boone to leave him out of the starting nine.
