Machado went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 11-8 win over the Dodgers.

Machado has hit safely in seven of nine games in September, going 12-for-38 (.316) with four multi-hit efforts. The third baseman popped a solo shot in the fourth inning and a two-run blast in the sixth to help the Padres pull off a comeback Monday. For the season, he's up to 28 homers, 84 RBI, 72 runs scored, three stolen bases and a .252/.315/.460 slash line over 128 contests. Machado continues to serve as San Diego's designated hitter while playing through tennis elbow.

Peraza is being considered day-to-day due to swelling in his left knee, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Peraza underwent an MRI on Sunday that came back clean, but he'll still be monitored closely moving forward. The team should know more about his availability for Tuesday's doubleheader after evaluating him in the morning.

Paredes (hand) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Paredes did not play Sunday after leaving Saturday's contest with a bruised hand, and he will remain in a reserve role for at least one more day. Jonathan Aranda will get another start at third base Monday night.

Chapman (finger) took groundballs, threw to bases and hit in the batting cage Monday, Ethan Diamandas of SI.com reports.

Chapman has been performing baseball activities for a few days, and he will repeat Monday's workout Tuesday. The report add that "it's about pain tolerance at this point" for Chapman, but he won't return from the 10-day injured list "until he can comfortably hit" against a high-velocity pitching machine.

The Brewers selected Donaldson's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Monday. He'll start at third base and bat fifth in the Brewers' series opener with the Marlins.

Milwaukee transferred reliever J.C. Mejia (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL to clear room on the 40-man roster for Donaldson, who went 3-for-17 with two home runs and five walks in five games for Nashville after inking a minor-league deal with the Brewers on Aug. 31. Prior to catching on with Milwaukee, Donaldson hit .142 with 10 home runs in 120 plate appearances for the Yankees before landing on the injured list July 16 with a right calf strain and then getting cut loose in late August when he completed a minor-league rehab assignment. Donaldson will likely be ticketed for a short-side platoon role at either designated hitter or third base initially, but the 37-year-old could earn more opportunities against right-handed pitching if he fares well in his initial action with Milwaukee.

Peraza is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Peraza has played regularly since rejoining the Yankees in late August, but he will be held out for a second day in a row with manager Aaron Boone turning to his left-handed hitters against Boston righty Kutter Crawford.

Kieboom is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Kieboom will take a seat for the second time in three days while the Nationals make room at third base for Ildemaro Vargas. With Kieboom turning in a modest .610 OPS in 15 games since his call-up from Triple-A Rochester in late August and with the switch-hitting Vargas offering a potential strong-side platoon option, Kieboom could see his opportunities against right-handed pitching take a hit as the season winds down.

Rosario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Houston.

Rosario accounted for one of two San Diego runs in the contest with his 409-foot solo shot in the seventh inning. It was the first major-league homer for the 24-year-old, who went deep five times over 43 games with Triple-A El Paso before being called up last Friday. Rosario homered 22 times and stole 21 bases across 124 contests in Triple-A last season. He could get a decent look down the stretch with the Padres fading further out of contention for a playoff spot.

Moncada (knee) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Moncada aggravated a knee injury Saturday and was held out Sunday, but that was apparently all he needed to put the issue behind him. He will man the hot corner and hit fifth Monday night.

Peterson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Since being acquired from Oakland on July 31, Peterson has mostly served as a strong-side platoon option at third base, but he'll likely have to settle for more of a utility role moving forward. With both second baseman Ketel Marte (knee) and shortstop Jordan Lawlar (hand) back in the lineup Monday after one-game absences, Peterson will retreat to the bench after he manned the keystone Sunday. Geraldo Perdomo has seemingly supplanted Peterson as the Diamondbacks' preferred option at third base.
