Diaz isn't in the Athletics' lineup Tuesday against the Mariners.

Diaz will get a breather Tuesday after breaking an 0-for-14 stretch at the plate in Monday's series opener. Aledmys Diaz will instead get the nod at the hot corner and bat fifth.

McMahon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

Alan Trejo will start at third base and bat eighth as the Rockies take on ace left-hander Blake Snell. McMahon has enjoyed a productive season overall, but he is slashing just .190/.264/.310 in 174 plate appearances versus southpaws.

Madrigal was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right hamstring strain, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Madrigal strained his hamstring in Saturday's loss to the Diamondbacks and will be sidelined until at least Sept. 27. Christopher Morel is covering third base Tuesday against the Pirates and the Cubs have also recalled Jared Young from Triple-A Iowa to provide some extra infield depth.

Escobar is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Tampa Bay, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Escobar has operated as the Halos' primary third baseman over the past couple weeks but will sit Tuesday while in the midst of a 1-for-15 slump. David Fletcher will take over at the hot corner and bat ninth.

Baty (groin) remains out of the lineup Tuesday at Miami.

The young third baseman hasn't appeared in a game for the Mets since last Wednesday due to a left groin strain. Ronny Mauricio will handle the hot corner and bat second Tuesday versus the Marlins and left-hander Braxton Garrett.

Marte is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Twins.

Marte had made two consecutive starts at third base for the Reds, but Christian Encarnacion-Strand will get the nod there Tuesday as Elly De La Cruz covers shortstop. Marte, 21, is sitting on an impressive .304/.368/.405 batting line through his first 87 major-league plate appearances.

Suarez went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and two walks in a win over the Athletics on Monday.

Suarez came through with what is already his fourth multi-hit effort in 12 September games while pushing his season OBP back up to a respectable .325 with the four trips to the basepaths. The veteran's ninth-inning knock also produced his 89th RBI of the season, his highest tally in that category since a 2019 campaign with the Reds when he compiled 103, the second-highest figure of his career.

Henderson went 3-for-5 with a triple and three runs scored in Monday's 8-7 win over the Astros.

Three was Henderson's lucky number Monday, as he logged his fourth three-hit effort of September. His solid hitting atop the lineup paid off each time as the Orioles brought him home three times in a back-and-forth contest. Henderson is batting .313 with a .958 OPS in September, and he's up to a .261/.329/.503 slash line with 27 home runs, 79 RBI, 94 runs scored, nine stolen bases, 26 doubles and nine triples over 139 contests this season.

Jung started at third base and went 1-for-4 in Monday's 4-2 loss to Boston.

Earlier Monday, Jung was activated from the injured list, where he spent six weeks due to a thumb injury. There was no easing him back into the lineup as a designated hitter, as the rookie took his usual position at the hot corner.

Rosario went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Monday's 11-9 win over the Rockies.

Rosario has gone 5-for-19 (.263) over his first five games this season, and two of those hits have been homers. This was also his first multi-RBI effort in his career. The infielder has carved out some playing time at third base, sharing the hot corner with Matthew Batten, since Manny Machado (elbow) has been unable to play the field. There's no platoon situation here, but Rosario seems set to be in the lineup about half of the time down the stretch, and perhaps more if Batten has to continue filling in for Ha-Seong Kim (abdomen) at second base.
