The Cardinals recalled Prieto from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.

Prieto will rejoin the big-league club for his third stint in the majors this season. In 79 games at Triple-A, the 27-year-old is slashing .308/.367/.505 with 12 homers and 43 RBI over 335 plate appearances. Prieto will replace the injured JJ Wetherholt (wrist) on the active roster.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Tigers.

With southpaw Framber Valdez toeing the slab for Detroit, the left-handed hitter will sit out Sunday's series finale. The Dodgers will send Miguel Rojas to man the hot corner in Muncy's place and bat sixth.

House is out of the lineup for Sunday's affair with the Marlins.

Despite recording six RBI over his last three games, House will not start Sunday's matchup with Miami. Jorbit Vivas will man the hot corner and bat sixth for Washington.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 17-5 win over the Reds.

Bregman didn't quite match Pete Crow-Armstrong, who erupted for three home runs and six RBI, but the former still helped give the Cubs a jolt in the lopsided win with his 20th long ball of the season. The veteran third baseman has now reached the 20-homer plateau for the sixth time in his 11-year MLB career. After a slower start to the season by his usual standards, Bregman has gotten going in August with a .952 OPS, nine homers and 26 RBI across 26 games.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Rays.

Machado had an eventful seventh inning, driving in two runs on a single before swiping second as part of a double steal. The 34-year-old has more steals (two) than homers (one) in August, as he's struggled to a .574 OPS through 26 games this month. On the season, he's slashing .214/.302/.400 with 24 home runs, 74 RBI, 67 runs scored and four stolen bases across 568 plate appearances.

House went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's win over the Marlins.

The third baseman absolutely crushed a grooved fastball from Eury Perez in the third inning, sending it 445 feet to left-center field to break open the game in an eventual 9-2 victory. It was House's 10th homer of the season but his first since Aug. 15. Since returning to the majors in late July, he's put together a tepid .244/.317/.400 slash line with five doubles, three long balls, 11 runs and 11 RBI in 28 contests.

Karros (concussion) has resumed both hitting and fielding drills at the Rockies' complex in Arizona, MLB.com reports.

Karros has dealt with a concussion or concussion symptoms for nearly three weeks, and he attempted to return once already. The next step in his recovery will be a simulated game Saturday.

Koss went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 10-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Koss has gone 16-for-60 (.267) over his last 18 games, adding a homer and four doubles in that span. The infielder has taken over a starting role at shortstop in the absence of Willy Adames (elbow), who could miss the rest of the season after going down with the injury Sunday. Over 123 plate appearances this season, Koss is batting .211 with a .537 OPS, one homer, four RBI, 12 runs scored, five doubles and two stolen bases, so he's unlikely to hit his way into the picture in fantasy.

Arenado (thumb) will start at third base and bat fifth Friday against the Giants.

Arenado was left off the first version of Friday's lineup, but he is now seemingly unbothered by the thumb inflammation that caused him to sit out Thursday, so he'll check back into the starting nine. The veteran third baseman has been in a bit of a slump recently, going 5-for-27 (.185) with eight strikeouts across his last seven games.

Arenado (thumb) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

Arenado was a late scratch Thursday due to thumb inflammation, and he'll need at least one more day off to recover. Jose Fernandez will pick up another start at third base and bat sixth.
