McMahon (thumb) is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Baltimore.

McMahon injured his left thumb on a slide Wednesday. X-rays came back negative, per Erik Boland of Newsday, but McMahon will have more imaging Friday. Jose Caballero is drawing the start at third base for the Yankees.

Garcia was removed from Thursday's game against the Athletics after the first inning with a left hamstring injury, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Garcia doubled in his first plate appearance in the bottom of the first inning, but he later pulled up after rounding third base, grabbed at his hamstring and was tagged out on a fielder's choice. The 26-year-old just returned earlier this week from a nearly two-month absence with a hand injury, and it looks like he could be headed back to the injured list.

Sanoja went 3-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Phillies.

Sanoja was the only Marlin who seemed to have an answer for Aaron Nola on Wednesday -- the third baseman got Miami on the board in the sixth inning with his sixth homer of the season, one of his three hits on the day. Sanoja is now 7-for-16 (.438) with a pair of homers and six RBI in his last four contests, boosting his slash line to a solid .278/.317/.425 across 348 plate appearances this season with 48 RBI, 32 runs scored and six stolen bases.

Arenado went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over Boston.

Arenado's bloop single plated the first of two runs in the decisive 10th inning to secure the win for the Diamondbacks and helped snap a three-game losing skid. The third baseman, who returned to the lineup after missing two games due to an intercostal injury, recorded his fourth multi-hit effort over the last seven games. Arenado is 8-for-27 (.296) with one triple, three home runs, nine RBI and two additional runs during the stretch.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Rockies.

Hernandez delivered offense in his first two at-bats, supplying an RBI single in the second inning before taking Kyle Freeland deep in the fourth. Hernandez continues to play regularly versus southpaws, though prior to Wednesday, he hadn't done much since returning from an oblique injury in late July. Even including that performance, he's gone 4-for-28 (.143) at the plate since he was activated, and his homer Wednesday was his first extra-base hit in that span. Overall, he's batting .250 with a .773 OPS, two homers, five RBI, four runs scored and two doubles over 33 plate appearances this season.

Garcia went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a run, and a triple in Wednesday's 9-7 win against the Athletics.

Garcia collected both of his hits in a seven-run eighth inning, during which he scored Kansas City's first run and drove in its last. After landing on the injured list with a hand injury in late June, Garcia has hit the ground running after being reinstated Monday, going 5-for-14 with two RBI. The 26-year-old is batting .266 on the season with three home runs, 32 RBI, 34 runs scored, and five stolen bases in just 72 games.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Royals.

For his first home run since rejoining the team from Triple-A Las Vegas in early August, Muncy smashed a long ball to left field to make the score 9-7 in the ninth. The third baseman has struggled since being brought back to the majors for an injured Nick Kurtz (thumb). The 23-year-old Muncy has gone 7-for-35 (.200) with only four RBI and 10 strikeouts in 12 contests.

Gelof went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-7 loss to Kansas City.

Gelof was handed the start in left field Wednesday instead of his usual third-base position as Max Muncy occupied that spot. The 26-year-old Gelof extended the lead to 2-0 in the first with an RBI single off Seth Lugo. This is his fourth start in left field since returning from the injured list Aug. 10, but Gelof has also gotten starts at third base (twice), second base (once), and designated hitter (twice).

Manager Aaron Boone said after Wednesday's win over Baltimore that McMahon is slated to undergo X-rays on his left thumb, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

McMahon injured his hand while sliding into second base in the second inning, and he was eventually pulled in favor of a pinch hitter in the eighth. The fact that he was able to remain in the game for several innings after injuring himself is encouraging, though the Yankees will presumably wait to see the results of the 31-year-old's X-rays before determining his availability for Thursday's series finale.

House is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

House will take a seat after he had started at third base or designated hitter in each of the last seven games. After recording at least one hit in the first five of those contests, House went 0-for-6 with two strikeouts in his most recent two starts.
