Suarez went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

It's the first successful theft for Suarez since 2020, and his 30th percentile sprint speed doesn't suggest he's going to suddenly become a consistent threat on the basepaths even under the new rules. The 31-year-old isn't providing much value with his bat at the moment either, as he's batting just .152 (5-for-33) with one homer, three runs and four RBI through nine games in May.

Farmer (mouth) went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Padres.

Farmer missed nearly a month after needing surgery to repair the damage from when he got hit by a pitch versus the White Sox on April 12. The versatile infielder went 0-for-11 in the four games before his injury. He's slashing .235/.289/.353 with a home run, five RBI, six runs scored and no stolen bases through 38 plate appearances this season. Farmer and Willi Castro are expected to share time at third base following Jose Miranda's demotion to Triple-A St. Paul. If it becomes a strict platoon, the righty-hitting Farmer would be on the short side of it.

Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Cardinals.

Wisdom popped his second home run of the month and 12th of the season in the third inning. The 31-year-old came into the game mired in a 7-for-40 slump, so when he's not hitting long balls, he can be tough to stomach in fantasy leagues. Wisdom is now batting .237 with a .941 OPS and should continue to be a boom-or-bust option moving forward.

Candelario will have his right ankle injury re-evaluated Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Candelario tweaked the ankle on a slide during Wednesday's game with the Giants and had to be removed. He had the ankle taped up postgame and will hope the Nationals' off day Thursday will allow enough time to heal.

Peterson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 11-3 loss against the Yankees.

Peterson cut the A's deficit to 4-2 in the second inning with a solo shot off Jhony Brito, going back-to-back with Carlos Perez. It's the second home run of the season for Peterson and his first since April 3. The 33-year-old utilityman has a modest four-game hitting streak, going 5-for-11 in that span. Still, it's hard to see a path toward fantasy relevance for Peterson while playing a part-time role on a struggling Oakland team. On the season, he's slashing just .214/.305/.311 with 11 RBI, 10 runs scored and four stolen bases through 118 plate appearances.

Candelario was removed from Wednesday's game versus the Giants with an apparent right leg injury, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Candelario seemed to hurt his leg on an awkward slide in the sixth inning and was then pulled in the seventh. He was replaced at third base by Michael Chavis. The Nationals should have more on Candelario's condition shortly.

Burger (oblique) was cleared Wednesday to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Burger should be in line for a short stay in the minors, given that he's been on the shelf for less than a week due to a mild left oblique strain. He's first eligible to be activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday and may be ready on that exact day. Hanser Alberto is currently serving as the primary third baseman for the White Sox with Yoan Moncada (back) also residing on the IL.

Devers is not in the lineup Wednesday against Atlanta, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

This appears to be a routine day of rest for Devers, who's sitting on a .245/.299/.538 slash line with 11 home runs and 34 RBI through 36 games this season. Justin Turner will start at third base and bat third for Boston.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Garcia takes a break after going hitless in the first two games of the series against Chicago. Matt Duffy will step in for Garcia as the Royals' starting third baseman and No. 7 hitter.

Newman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Newman had started in eight of the Reds' last nine games, but with all of the key Cincinnati hitters healthy again with the exception of Joey Votto (shoulder), Newman looks as though he'll serve as a utility man moving forward rather than an everyday starter. He should at least continue to see regular playing time versus left-handed pitching, however.
