Madrigal is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus the Diamondbacks.

Madrigal will get a breather after he went 2-for-8 with a run scored over the first two games of the series. Patrick Wisdom will take over at third base and bat eighth in the series finale.

Devers went 2-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Sunday's loss against the Blue Jays.

Devers tied the game 2-2 in the top of the ninth inning with a homer off Erik Swanson, his 33rd of the season and his second is any many days. The 26-year-old Devers has been red hot of late, going 13-for-30 (.433) with three homers in his last nine games. Overall, he's batting .276 with an .876 OPS, 98 RBI and 87 runs scored through 614 plate appearances this season.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Muncy has a 1.015 OPS during his eight-game hit streak but will hit the bench Sunday after the Dodgers clinched the NL West crown Saturday in Seattle. Chris Taylor will start at third base and bat leadoff.

Garcia went 0-for-3 with a stolen base, two walks and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Astros.

Garcia went hitless for the seventh time in his last nine games, but the two walks allowed him to generate some production anyway. The infielder is at a .273/.325/.368 slash line with 22 steals, four home runs, 49 RBI and 53 runs scored through 112 contests this season. While he's seen the bulk of the playing time at third base throughout the campaign, his recent struggles at the plate have opened the door for utility man Nick Loftin to earn time at the hot corner.

McKinstry is out of the lineup Sunday versus the Angels.

Andy Ibanez will start at second base and bat second as Zack Short plays shortstop and hits eighth. McKinstry has slashed just .135/.211/.154 with 17 strikeouts over his last 57 plate appearances dating back to Aug. 30.

Baty (groin) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

The 23-year-old will sit for the third consecutive game as he continues to nurse a mild groin injury. Mark Vientos will receive another look at the hot corner in Baty's place while Brandon Nimmo rests his legs as the Mets' designated hitter.

McMahon is not in the lineup Sunday versus the Giants.

McMahon, who did not play in the second game of a doubleheader Saturday, will not start for the second consecutive game. The third baseman has played in 143 of the Rockies' 148 games, but he will sit out consecutive contests for the first time this season. Alan Trejo will start in the 28-year-old's place.

Moncada is out of the lineup Sunday versus the Twins.

Moncada had appeared in six straight games after not starting Sept. 10 due to aggravating his knee in the prior game. In the six-game span, the third baseman is 5-for-23. Zach Remillard will take his place in the lineup Sunday.

Burger went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and three runs scored in Saturday's 11-5 victory over Atlanta.

Burger reached base and came around to score in each of his first two trips to the plate before adding a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth to put the Marlins on top 7-5. It marked the third baseman's third consecutive multi-hit game, while the home run was his 32nd of the season. Burger continues to perform at a high level since being acquired by Miami at the start of August. He's racked up four homers, eight RBI and 11 runs scored through 15 games in September.

Longoria entered as a pinch hitter, walked and scored a run in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Cubs.

Longoria pinch hit for Alek Thomas in the bottom of the 13th inning and eventually made it to second base, from where he raced home on a Gabriel Moreno single to score the game-winning run. Longoria adjusted his slide at the last moment to avoid the catcher's tag. It was a rare highlight in the third baseman's recent performance. Longoria is 7-for-43 over 16 games since returning from a back injury in August, and Saturday's run is the only one he's scored during that stretch.
