Davis (ankle) is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Davis will remain on the bench Monday as he continues to recover from a low-grade ankle sprain, but considering he's been available off the bench the last two games, he's seemingly on the cusp of returning to the lineup. David Villar will draw the start at third base and bat ninth in the series opener with San Diego.

Madrigal is not in the starting lineup Monday versus Pittsburgh.

Madrigal will take a seat after he went 0-for-2 with a strikeout and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Orioles. Miles Mastrobuoni will draw the start at third base and bat ninth in the series opener with the Pirates.

Lewis is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Red Sox.

Lewis will get a breather after he went 2-for-11 with an RBI and two runs scored while starting all four games of the team's series with Detroit. Kyle Farmer will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh in the opener with Boston.

The Angels placed Rendon on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left wrist contusion.

Rendon missed each of the Angels' last three games due to the injury, which he sustained when he was hit by a pitch in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Rangers. The Angels will be able to backdate Rendon's IL stint to Friday, so assuming he shows improvement during the upcoming week, he could be ready for activation when first eligible June 26. Luis Rengifo will likely continue to serve as the main replacement at third base while Rendon is on the mend.

Candelario (thumb) will start at third base and bat third in Monday's game against the Cardinals, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Candelario suffered a bone bruise Saturday and sat out Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Marlins, but he'll be back in action as Washington opens its series with St. Louis. The 29-year-old is hitting .217 with a home run, six doubles, seven runs, five RBI and a stolen base through his first 14 games of June.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, a walk, an RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Reds.

Bregman entered Sunday's game hitless in five of his previous six games, but he delivered his first multi-extra-base hit performance since May 17. His power production is down -- his .387 slugging percentage would be his lowest in a season by 35 points -- but he's still managed to tally 40 RBI and 39 runs scored across 71 games on the campaign.

Escobar went 1-for-3 with a walk, a triple, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

Getting the start at third base against left-hander Matthew Liberatore and batting eighth, Escobar collected his second three-bagger and second steal of 2023. The veteran infielder lost his starting spot at the hot corner to Brett Baty earlier in the year, but with the rookie now struggling -- Baty's slashing .219/.301/.260 over his current 22-game homer drought -- the door could be opening a crack for Escobar to reclaim a more significant role if he can put together a productive stretch at the plate.

Garcia went 3-for-4 with one double, two runs scored and one steal in Sunday's loss against the Angels.

Garcia swiped a bag for the second straight contest to improve his season total to seven in as many attempts. The infielder has been on a tear over his last 10 games, hitting 12-for-38 (.316) with six runs scored and a triple.

LeMahieu isn't starting the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

LeMahieu started Sunday's matinee and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Josh Donaldson starts at the hot corner and bats fifth.

Arenado went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and solo home run in Sunday's win over the Mets.

Arenado was 0-for-9 through the first two games of the series versus New York, but he got hot Sunday, smoking his fifth and sixth homers of June. After his first multi-homer game of the season, the slugger now has 15 long balls and 48 RBI while slashing .276/.322/.493. Arenado got off to an unusually slow start in 2023, but he's back to producing like a superstar.
