Jace Jung 3B | DET
Tigers' Jace Jung: Sent down to Triple-A
The Tigers optioned Jung to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Jung was recalled from Toledo last week after Colt Keith (ribs) was placed on the 10-day injured list. This time, Justyn-Henry Malloy is taking Jung's spot on the 26-man roster. Jung has appeared in 21 games for the Tigers this season, slashing .106/.236/.106 with zero extra-base hits, three RBI, eight runs scored and a 7:16 BB:K across 55 trips to the plate.

Kyle Karros 3B | COL
Rockies' Kyle Karros: Two hits Tuesday
Karros went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Tuesday against the Mariners.
Karros recorded an RBI in his second consecutive game after knocking in a run with a single in the second inning. He remains the Rockies' primary third baseman, starting 16 of 20 games in September. However, Karros has hit only .222 with three RBI and six runs scored in that span.

Maikel Garcia 3B | KC
Royals' Maikel Garcia: Trio of hits in win
Garcia went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Angels.
Garcia set the tone with a leadoff double in the first inning and later came around to score on a wild pitch, sparking what became his first three-hit performance since Aug. 10. While he's had a quieter September with a .620 OPS over 20 games, the third baseman's 2025 campaign as a whole has been a breakout. Through 155 contests, he owns an .809 OPS with 38 doubles, five triples, 16 homers, 72 RBI and 23 stolen bases, ranking second among Royals regulars in OPS behind only Bobby Witt.

Nolan Arenado 3B | STL
Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Homer, steal in win
Arenado went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Giants.
Arenado ended a power drought of 33 games, though he also missed a month and a half in that span due to a right shoulder strain. He has gone 8-for-30 (.267) with four extra-base hits and seven RBI over eight games since his return from the injury. Overall, the third baseman is at a .238/.292/.373 slash line with 11 homers, 50 RBI, 47 runs scored and three steals over 104 contests. Barring a massive surge this week, Arenado will finish the season with an OPS under .700 for the first time in his career.

Manny Machado 3B | SD
Padres' Manny Machado: Getting breather Tuesday
Machado is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.
Machado will take a seat for just the second time this season as the Padres go to battle with Milwaukee. The Padres clinched a playoff berth by winning Monday's series opener 5-4 in 11 innings, so it makes sense to give Machado a little extra rest. Jose Iglesias will draw the start at third base and bat sixth in his place.

Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
Angels' Yoan Moncada: Idle Tuesday
Moncada isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Moncada will sit down for a second consecutive game Tuesday, though he recorded a hit off the bench Sunday to end what had been an 0-for-13 stretch at the plate. Oswald Peraza will pick up another start at the hot corner as a result and bat sixth.

Nacho Alvarez Jr. 3B | ATL
Braves' Nacho Alvarez: Back in Atlanta lineup
Alvarez (thumb) will start at third base and bat ninth in Monday's game versus the Nationals.
Alvarez was unable to participate in Sunday's game against the Tigers due to a laceration on his thumb, but he's been cleared to return to action after being given a day to let the injury heal. The 22-year-old cranked his first two major-league home runs in his last game Saturday in Detroit.
