Moncada is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

He'll give way at third base to Elvis Andrus in the series finale. Moncada started in each of the last six games, going 9-for-21 with a home run, three doubles, two walks, six RBI and three runs.

Paredes went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's win over Miami.

Paredes tied the game at 2-2 in the sixth inning with an RBI single and later put the finishing touches on Tampa Bay's 11-2 victory with a ninth-inning, three-run blast. The 24-year-old infielder now owns a modest eight-game hitting streak, going 13-for-35 with four home runs, 12 RBI, nine runs and an impressive 1.192 OPS during that stretch.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

Bregman opened the scoring with a home run off Brayan Bello in the first inning, his 22nd of the season and fourth in his last 13 games. The 29-year-old third baseman has continued to swing a hot bat -- he's gone 31-for-84 (.369) with 13 extra-base hits over his previous 21 contests. Bregman's slash line is up to .265/.365/.447 with 89 RBI and 85 runs scored across 597 plate appearances on the campaign.

McKinstry went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees.

McKinstry now has hits in three straight games and seven of his last eight appearances. The utility man is still only batting .243 overall, though that's a significant improvement from the .199 mark he posted with the Cubs and Dodgers last season. McKinstry's versatility makes him useful for the Tigers, but he's typically not the most exciting fantasy option.

Peterson is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Evan Longoria will start at third base and bat sixth with left-hander Clayton Kershaw taking the bump for Los Angeles. Peterson has slashed just .188/.291/.271 in 22 games with Arizona and owns a career .544 OPS against southpaws.

Madrigal is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers.

Jeimer Candelario will start at third base and bat seventh. Madrigal went 0-for-3 in the Cubs' loss to Milwaukee on Monday and is slashing just .233/.233/.372 over his last 45 plate appearances dating back to Aug. 6.

Rafaela is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Browne says that the original plan was for Rafaela to start in center field in his major-league debut Tuesday while Adam Duvall received a night off. However, after Duvall homered again Monday -- his sixth homer in eight games -- manager Alex Cora changed his mind. Rafaela might only be around until Wilyer Abreu (paternity) returns.

The Yankees released Donaldson (calf) on Tuesday.

Donaldson had been ramping up his rehab from a right calf strain but wasn't eligible for activation until mid-September. If he does make it back to play this season, it will be with another organization. Donaldson's two-year tenure in New York didn't go well, as he will finish it having slashed .207/.293/.385 with 25 home runs over 165 games. He's making $21.75 million in 2023 and the Yankees will be responsible for an $8 million buyout of his 2024 club option.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Monday's 9-0 win over the White Sox.

Henderson has hit safely in 12 of his last 13 games, batting .364 (20-for-55) with eight extra-base hits and three steals in that span. He's up to nine thefts on the season -- while he's had an impactful bat and provided solid defense, he's still not a huge threat to run. The infielder is slashing .251/.329/.479 with 22 home runs, 65 RBI and 75 runs scored over 120 contests.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and a run in a win over the Athletics on Monday.

Suarez didn't have a hand in driving in any of the Mariners' runs for a change, but the slugger still contributed to Seattle's 14-hit breakout with his pair of extra-base hits. Suarez has served up a trio of multi-hit efforts in the last seven contests, a stretch where he's gone without a home run but still has a .375 average, 1.073 OPS, four total doubles, seven walks, four runs and an encouragingly low 15.6 percent strikeout rate.
