    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Homers in Saturday's loss

    Arenado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Cubs.

    Arenado singled in his first plate appearance and then skied one to left-center field off Jameson Taillon in the fourth inning that found the first row of the bleachers at Wrigley Field. It was the veteran third baseman's second home run in 11 games since coming off the injured list, and he's driven in nine runs over that stretch.

    Alexander (wrist) exited Saturday's game against the Padres in the bottom of the second inning, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Alexander was struck in the wrist by a 88 mph changeup from Padres starter Michael King in the top of the first, and he was ultimately forced to leave the game in the following frame. Tim Tawa replaced him in the lineup and took over at first base while Ildemaro Vargas shifted to third base versus San Diego.

    Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Slugs homer No. 20

    McMahon went 2-for-3 wit ha solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Orioles.

    The third baseman took Tomoyuki Sugano deep in the second inning, one of three early homers by the Yankees as they take the battle for the AL East title with the Blue Jays right down to the wire. McMahon's long ball was just his fourth in 53 games in pinstripes but his 20th of the season, the fifth straight season he's reached that milestone and the sixth time overall in his career.

  • Brett Harris 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Brett Harris: Sitting down Saturday

    Harris isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

    After having his four-game hitting streak snapped Friday, Harris will retreat to the dugout to begin the Athletics' penultimate regular-season contest. Darell Hernaiz will slide over to third base as a result, clearing second for Max Schuemann.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: On bench Saturday

    Muncy (lower body) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Seattle.

    Muncy's lower-body injury will force him to the bench for the third straight game, though manager Dave Roberts said Friday that the third baseman should be ready for the start of the NL Wild Card Series on Tuesday. In the meantime, Enrique Hernandez will start at third base and bat eighth against Logan Gilbert and the Mariners.

  • Ernie Clement 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Contributes four runs in win

    Clement went 2-for-3 with a two-run double, two runs scored and a steal during the Blue Jays' 5-1 win over the Rays on Saturday.

    Clement got the Blue Jays on the board early with a two-run double off Joe Boyle in the second inning before crossing home plate one batter later. Clement got on base for a second time in the fifth, and after successfully stealing second base, he was brought home on a Nathan Lukes single to give Toronto a 4-0 lead. Since Sept. 1, Clement has slashed .286/.321/.416 with two steals, 14 runs, 10 doubles and nine RBI across 82 plate appearances.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Sitting again Saturday

    Moncada is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup with Houston.

    Moncada will take a seat for the second day in a row as he's in the midst of a 2-for-21 stretch at the plate. Luis Rengifo will draw the start at third base and bat leadoff against the Astros.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Absent from Saturday's lineup

    Machado isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Machado will grab a seat on the bench Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's game. Jose Iglesias will pick up a start at third base and bat sixth while Machado rests.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Placed on IL

    The Mets placed Baty on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right oblique strain.

    Baty departed Friday's game with pain in his side, and further testing revealed he's dealing with a strained right oblique. The Mets are still in the mix for the NL's final Wild Card spot, but they'll have to chase a postseason berth without Baty. The third baseman will be eligible for reinstatement Oct. 7, though it's unclear if he'll require more than the minimum stay. Jared Young was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.
