McMahon went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Monday's loss to Atlanta.

Despite the final score of 14-4, Colorado kept pace with Atlanta for much of the contest thanks largely to McMahon's bat. He kicked off the scoring with a mammoth 473-foot blast in the first inning and tied the score 4-4 with a sacrifice fly in the fifth. McMahon has reached base safely in 10 of his past 11 contests, slashing .310/.388/.548 with three homers, seven RBI and 12 runs over that span.

Riley went 2-for-5 with a home run, a walk, two total runs and three total RBI in a 14-4 victory versus Colorado on Monday.

Riley opened the scoring for Atlanta with his two-run shot to right field in the third inning, and he tacked on an RBI single in the seventh. The long ball was his second over his past three contests following a nine-game stretch during which he went just 6-for-33 without any homers. While Riley has been overshadowed by the MVP-level seasons of teammates Ronald Acuna and Matt Olson, he's performed very well in his own right, reaching the 30-homer mark for the third straight campaign while tallying 81 RBI, three steals and a .274/.336/.504 slash line over 578 plate appearances.

Hayes went 4-for-4 with a double, a walk, a run and an RBI in Monday's 5-0 win against the Royals.

Hayes reached safely in each of his five plate appearances, finishing with his fourth career game of at least four hits. The third baseman's lone extra-base knock was a double that plated a run in the third frame. Hayes has been swinging a hot stick for about three weeks, racking up 11 multi-hit games in 19 contests since Aug. 8. He's batting .372 (29-for-78) with five homers, six doubles, one triple, 17 RBI and 12 runs over that span.

Muncy went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Muncy made a quick impact with his first-inning blast, extending his hitting streak to seven games. In that span, he's gone 10-for-30 (.333) with two homers, four doubles and eight RBI. It's an impressive stretch of consistency for the infielder, who owns a .204/.335/.484 slash line with 31 long balls, 85 RBI, 72 runs scored and one stolen base over 108 contests this season.

Gelof went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Mariners.

Gelof's bat has cooled off a bit lately -- he's gone eight games without a multi-hit effort. He's added just two steals while batting .156 (5-for-32) in that span. For the season, the second baseman has a .276/.343/.566 slash line with nine steals, 10 home runs, 21 RBI and 24 runs scored over 39 contests.

Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Brewers.

Appearing in a game for just the fourth time in the last two weeks, Wisdom managed his 21st home run of the season. His career high is 28, though he seems unlikely to reach that number in his smaller role, which has been the result of Jeimer Candelario joining the team at the trade deadline. Wisdom can still provide some pop, but his fantasy appeal is diminished as a bench player.

Lewis went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's 10-6 win over Cleveland.

For the second day in a row, Lewis belted a grand slam. He's gone deep four times over his last six games and is 14-for-47 (.298) in 12 games since returning from the injured list. The 24-year-old infielder is now slashing .317/.366/.521 with eight long balls and 28 RBI through 153 plate appearances.

Peraza is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

For the first time since being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last Tuesday, Peraza will take a seat. He had started at either third base or shortstop in each of the past six games, going 2-for-20 with one walk against eight strikeouts. Oswaldo Cabrera will get the starting nod at the hot corner in Peraza's stead Monday, but both players could see ample opportunities on the left side of the infield down the stretch while the non-contending Yankees shift their focus to evaluating some of their younger players.

Garcia is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Garcia is just 5-for-29 (.172 average) at the dish since seeing an 18-game hitting streak come to an end Aug. 17, so manager Matt Quatraro decided to give him a day to clear his head. Matt Duffy will man the hot corner in Garcia's place.

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

Kieboom will hit the bench in favor of Ildemaro Vargas after he had started each of the past four games at third base while going 3-for-15 with a home run and a double. Though he's a few years removed from being one of the top prospects in the Washington farm system, Kieboom is still just 25 years old and could get a look as an everyday player in the infield down the stretch while the 61-70 Nationals play out the string.
