Marte, who is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals, was diagnosed with a broken nose, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The 21-year-old was struck in the face while playing catch ahead of Saturday's contest and cleared the concussion protocol, but he's still managing a fractured nose. Marte wasn't placed on the injured list amid a flurry of transactions by the Reds on Sunday, so he may not require a trip to the shelf. He could play soon depending on his pain tolerance and comfort level.

Peraza is out of the lineup Sunday against the Brewers.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start at third base and bat sixth. Peraza has enjoyed a fairly productive week, but the 23-year-old carries a brutal .188/.278/.232 overall slash line in 126 major-league plate appearances this season.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's extra-innings loss to Washington.

Muncy got the scoring started with a sacrifice fly in the first inning and added a two-run blast in the eighth. It was the second straight game with a long ball for the slugger, who has knocked in five runs during that span. Muncy is up to 96 RBI on the campaign, two shy of the career-best mark of 98 he established back in 2019.

Batten went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Astros.

Batten walked, stole second and scored in the fourth inning and added a run-scoring single in the sixth. The theft was his first in the majors after swiping 27 bags in 31 attempts over 86 games at the Triple-A level this season. Batten has been getting near-everyday playing time since his latest call-up Aug. 26, and he's holding his own with a .286/.390/.457 slash line, one homer, four RBI, nine runs and a 6:7 BB:K over 11 games since that time.

Paredes (hand) is not in the lineup Sunday versus the Mariners.

Paredes is considered day-to-day with a right hand contusion after getting hit by a pitch in the fourth inning of Saturday's win over Seattle. Jonathan Aranda will cover third base and bat eighth for the Rays in Sunday's series finale.

Moncada (knee) is not in the lineup Sunday at Detroit.

Moncada made an early exit from Saturday's loss to the Tigers because of right knee discomfort, and it remains unclear how much time he might miss. Elvis Andrus is playing third base for the White Sox on Sunday.

Devers went 4-for-6 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 13-12 loss to the Orioles.

Devers' first four-hit game of the year marked his fourth multi-hit output in the last eight contests, and the 26-year-old is hitting .333 (12-for-36) with six doubles, three RBI, six runs and a steal during that span. However, he hasn't notched a home run in 18 games, leaving him stuck on 29 long balls on the campaign. Devers is now slashing .272/.343/.505 with 92 RBI and 80 runs across 580 plate appearances this season.

Gelof went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday in a loss to the Rangers.

Gelof was responsible for all of Oakland's run output in the contest, drilling a game-tying two-run shot in the seventh inning. He finished with multiple hits for the sixth time in his past eight games, a span during which he's batting 12-for-34 (.353) with four RBI and five runs scored. The only thing that had been missing of late was the long ball -- prior to Saturday's homer, Gelof hadn't gone deep since Aug. 24, a stretch of 13 contests.

Henderson went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 13-12 win over the Red Sox.

Henderson has six extra-base hits and nine RBI over his last six contests, and he's gone hitless just once in that span. The infielder is up to 24 homers, 74 RBI, nine stolen bases and 83 runs scored while slashing .254/.326/.486 through 130 contests. Henderson has five homers over his last 20 games and should continue to provide solid power as the Orioles look to win the AL East.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Angels.

Ramirez ended an 11-game homer drought with the first-inning blast. In that span, the third baseman hit just .205 with three extra-base hits. He's up to 22 homers, 73 RBI, 79 runs scored, 23 stolen bases and a .275/.349/.479 slash line through 137 contests this season. Ramirez continues to bat in the heart of the order as Cleveland's most dangerous hitter.
