Vivas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Vivas will retreat to the bench after he had started at second base or third base in five of the previous six games while going 4-for-15 with one walk, two RBI and one run during that span. The Nationals still appear to view Nasim Nunez and Curtis Mead as the preferred options at the keystone and hot corner, respectively, so Vivas will likely be in line for just a part-time role when Washington is at full strength.

Bohm is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Marlins.

It looks to be a routine day off for Bohm, who had started every game since May 9 for the Phillies. Edmundo Sosa will cover third base and bat ninth for Philadelphia in the series opener.

The Mariners optioned Wisdom to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

After making five straight starts at third base, Wisdom was absent from the lineup for each of the past four games. A corresponding roster move -- which is expected to be J.P. Crawford (hand) being activated from the injured list -- will be announced prior to Tuesday's contest versus the Orioles.

Garcia went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-0 win over Houston.

Garcia got the Royals on the board early with an RBI single in the first inning before delivering a two-run double in the third. He also stole his fifth base of the season in the opening frame. The infielder has been productive of late, driving in eight runs over his last 10 games. On the season, Garcia is slashing .268/.326/.382 with three home runs, 16 doubles, two triples, 28 RBI and 32 runs scored across 279 plate appearances.

Walton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run before being pinch hit for in the eighth inning of Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.

Walton drew the start at designated hitter and came through with his first homer of the season in a lefty-lefty matchup against Ian Seymour in the fifth inning. The infielder has received sporadic playing time, but he has generally been productive when called upon in a small sample size. Walton is hitting .296 with a .759 OPS, five extra-base hits, four RBI and nine runs scored across 58 plate appearances in 2026.

Caminero went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Angels.

Caminero's lone hit was a significant one, as he launched a two-run homer to left field to give the Rays the lead in the eighth inning. So far in June, the third baseman is hitting .239/.340/.435 with two homers, three doubles, four RBI and eight runs scored in 12 appearances. Overall, the 22-year-old is slashing .271/.370/.488 with 15 homers, 11 doubles, 32 RBI and 42 runs scored across 68 games this season.

Chapman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and two walks in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Following an RBI double from Drew Gilbert to open the scoring, Chapman crushed a sinker over the center-field wall to extend the Giants' lead in the fifth inning. The third baseman has been on fire in June, slashing .415/.519/.902 with six homers, 20 RBI and 17 runs scored through 13 games. Overall, he's hitting .261/.348/.414 with seven homers, 39 RBI and 35 runs scored across 71 contests in 2026.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Rockies.

Muncy has started five of six games at third base since returning from a broken hand Monday. He has gone 4-for-18 (.222) with seven RBI in those contests. For the season, the infielder is batting .236 with a .707 OPS, three homers, 14 RBI, 18 runs scored, six doubles, two triples and two stolen bases over 31 games. With Muncy working his way back to regular status in the lineup, it appears Zack Gelof will primarily compete with Jeff McNeil for playing time at second base, though all but one of Muncy's starts since his return have come against southpaws.

Karros went 4-for-6 with a double, two RBI and four runs scored in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Athletics.

Karros was one of seven Rockies to collect multiple hits, and one of three to pile up at least four knocks. The third baseman has batted .375 (15-for-40) in June, with five of his hits going for extra bases, though he's added just four RBI. Overall, he's hitting .246 with a .703 OPS, three home runs, 19 RBI, 32 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 68 contests. Even as a Colorado hitter, the lack of power makes him a tough sell in fantasy.

The Brewers promoted Fischer to Double-A Biloxi following High-A Wisconsin's 7-3 win over Great Lakes on Sunday.

Fischer will move on to the Southern League after slashing .298/.443/.675 with 20 home runs and four stolen bases across 246 plate appearances in 54 games with Wisconsin. The 22-year-old should settle into an everyday role at third base with Biloxi.
