Wisdom (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers and is considered day-to-day, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Wisdom appeared to jam his left ring finger while sliding into home during Saturday's win, but X-rays returned negative and he's been diagnosed with a strain. P.J. Higgins will take over for Wisdom at first base Sunday and will hit eighth.

McMahon went 3-for-4 with an RBI on Saturday against the Giants.

McMahon recorded his 55th RBI of the season with a single in the third inning. He's quietly had a strong August, maintaining a .356 average with four homers, 12 RBI and nine runs scored across 17 games. Despite that hot stretch, McMahon still has a 97 wRC+ and .328 wOBA across 453 plate appearances for the season.

Donaldson (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Manager Aaron Boone will hand Donaldson a second straight day off while he recovers from a stomach ailment, though the veteran could still be available off the bench for the series finale. DJ LeMahieu will fill in for Donaldson at third base.

Farmer is out of the lineup Sunday against the Pirates.

Farmer had started 10 consecutive games, during which he hit .405 with four RBI and three runs scored. However, he'll take a seat Sunday with Donovan Solano taking over at the hot corner.

Moustakas went 2-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's win over the Pirates.

Moustakas recorded an RBI single in the ninth off lefty reliever Eric Stout to augment the Reds' lead to five. The third baseman has struggled mightily, slashing .056/.150/.056 in 18 at-bats over the seven games prior to his stint on the 10-day IL (calf). Despite the hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark, the 33-year-old has performed better on the road with a .671 OPS in 128 at-bats compared to a .554 OPS in 111 at-bats at home.

Castro went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and one steal in Saturday's 10-1 loss against the Reds.

Castro homered off righty starter Justin Dunn with one out in the fourth to get the Pirates on the board. The second baseman has been finding his groove lately with a .333 average and 1.007 OPS over 36 at-bats in his last 10 games. The 23-year-old has significantly more power on the road with a .500 slugging percentage and six extra-base hits (three triples) in 52 at-bats compared to a .310 slugging percentage and three extra-base hits over 58 at-bats at home.

Wisdom hurt his left ring finger when sliding into home during Saturday's game against the Brewers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Wisdom suffered the injury when Victor Caratini tagged him out, though he never formally exited the game because the Cubs won the game in the same frame. Wisdom will get X-rays and more information will be available Sunday. P.J. Higgins would likely be the beneficiary if Wisdom is forced to miss time.

Henderson has started at first base and second base so far this week for Triple-A Norfolk, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

One of the top prospects in the minors, Henderson primarily played shortstop and third base prior to this week, but he is making his first pro start at second base Saturday after starting at first base a couple times earlier this week. The Orioles delayed the arrival of Adley Rutschman until this season for service-time reasons, but it's possible they could promote Henderson this season now that the team is competitive. He is hitting .285/.389/.509 with 10 home runs, six steals and a 26.2 percent strikeout rate in 56 games at Triple-A.

Bride was a late addition to Saturday's lineup against the Mariners.

He will hit seventh and start at the keystone. Bride enters the lineup after Skye Bolt was scratched with left knee soreness.

Longoria is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria went 0-for-4 in the series opener, and he will now miss out on a Coors Field game as the Giants go with J.D. Davis at third base and Wilmer Flores at DH against right-hander Ryan Feltner. The team has been giving the veteran maintenance days here and there -- easily justified given his history and the fact that he's just getting past a hamstring injury.
