Muncy was removed from Friday's game against the Giants after getting hit on the right forearm by a pitch, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Muncy initially remained in the game to run the bases after taking a pitch off his arm in the eighth inning but was pulled once the Dodgers' defense took the field. The severity of his injury is currently unknown, but if the Dodgers decide to sit him down for a game or two, Enrique Hernandez and Miguel Rojas would be next in line for starts at the hot corner.

Chapman's appeal of his one-game suspension is successful, and he will no longer have to serve the punishment, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chapman received a suspension from MLB for pushing Kyle Freeland in a matchup with the Rockies in early September, but he'll have the suspension dropped after a successful appeal. The third baseman will take a seven-game hit streak into Friday's series opener against the Dodgers.

Bitonti slashed .238/.341/.421 with 19 home runs, 17 steals, a 13.5 percent walk rate and a 33.5 percent strikeout rate in 118 games for Single-A Carolina.

Drafted out of high school in 2023 as a shortstop, Bitonti has already slid to the bottom of the defensive spectrum, playing 900.1 innings at first base and five innings at third base this year for the Mudcats. That won't be a problem if he can make enough contact, as Bitonti has consistently shown impressive raw power and patience for his age -- he won't turn 20 until November. It's unlikely the lefty-hitting Bitonti would be allowed to face same-handed pitching in the majors, but there's a chance he could be a three-true outcomes slugger who hits in the middle of the lineup against righties. The Brewers have a loaded farm system, and first base is particularly crowded, with Andrew Fischer, Brock Wilken, Blake Burke and Luke Adams all representing legitimate first base prospects who are closer to the majors than Bitonti.

Shaw (personal) will start at third base and bat ninth in Friday's game versus the Rays.

Shaw had to be scratched from Wednesday's lineup against Atlanta due to personal reasons, but he appeared as a pinch hitter in that contest and is back in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Rays. The rookie infielder had a great start to the second half but has slowed down in recent weeks, slashing .212/.276/.269 with no home runs over his last 19 games.

Kemp went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in a 6-4 win over the Mets on Thursday.

Kemp smashed his sixth homer of the year, tying a season high in RBI as well. As long as Alec Bohm (shoulder) remains on the injured list, Kemp should remain Philadelphia's primary third baseman. Through the first 158 at-bats of his career, Kemp is batting .241 with eight doubles, 22 RBI, 21 runs scored and two stolen bases.

Collier is slashing .342/.435/.430 with one home run, four doubles, a 14.1 percent walk rate and an 18.5 percent strikeout rate in his last 21 games for Double-A Chattanooga.

Collier, who underwent left thumb surgery in mid-March, was activated June 3 for High-A Dayton and then quickly promoted to Chattanooga, as he had already mastered High-A to close 2024. The thumb issue appears to have sapped Collier's power this season, as he hit 20 homers in 119 games last year and has three homers in 92 games this year, with just one of those coming in 71 games at Double-A. Given that Collier's plate skills have improved as the season has gone on, and that he has shown plus raw power as a teenager in the past, he's a worthwhile buy-low target this offseason. The lefty-hitting first baseman should split his age-21 season between Double-A and Triple-A.

Devanney is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Baltimore.

Devanney has seen most of the playing time at third base since he was recalled in late August, but he'll take a seat for Thursday's series finale. Jared Triolo will shift over to third base and Liover Peguero will cover shortstop as the Pirates try to avoid the sweep.

Muncy is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Rockies on Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Muncy has gone 0-for-7 with a walk and a strikeout in his two games since returning from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll begin Wednesday's game on the bench while Enrique Hernandez starts at the hot corner and bats ninth against Rockies southpaw Kyle Freeland.

Shaw was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against Atlanta due to personal reasons, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Shaw will step out of the lineup for a day while he tends to a personal matter. In the meantime, Willi Castro will fill in at the hot corner for Chicago and bat eighth.

Norby (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Norby appears to have made a swift recovery from his left quadriceps strain, an injury he suffered just last week. He will be eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Sunday and would seem to have a good shot to be ready to go at that time.
