DeJong went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Royals.

Getting the start at third base, DeJong took Daniel Lynch deep in the fifth inning to provide the Nationals with their final offense of the night. DeJong has three straight multi-hit performances, with the prior two starts coming at second base while Luis Garcia was dealing with back tightness. Garcia returned to the starting nine Monday, but interim manager Miguel Cairo will be motivated to keep DeJong in the lineup given his hot bat -- over 40 plate appearances since the All-Star break, the veteran utility infielder is slashing .333/.375/.639 with two doubles, three homers, two steals and seven RBI.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in a loss to the Angels on Monday.

The Dodgers trailed 7-0 at one point in the contest, but Muncy at least made a game of it when he clubbed a three-run homer in the eighth inning. The powerful third baseman hasn't missed a beat since returning from an extended absence caused by a knee injury -- in seven contests since being activated off the IL, Muncy is batting .421 (8-for-19) with four long balls and nine RBI along with a 7:2 BB:K. Muncy didn't hit a homer until his 29th game of the season, but since then he's gone deep 17 times over 60 contests.

House is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Kansas City.

House was demoted to the No. 8 spot in the batting order for the previous two contests and will be out of the lineup altogether Monday. The rookie infielder is slashing only .213/.219/.246 with a 19:1 K:BB so far in the second half. Paul DeJong will hold down third base for the Nationals on Monday.

Karros will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game in St. Louis.

After being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Karros started at third base in all three games of the Rockies' weekend series in Arizona, going 4-for-11 with two doubles, two walks, three RBI and two runs. The 23-year-old will stick in the starting nine Monday and should have a chance to settle in as the Rockies' everyday option at the hot corner for the rest of the season if he can remain reasonably productive at the plate.

Baty went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Brewers.

Getting the start at second base and batting eighth against Quinn Priester, Baty took the right-hander deep in the second inning. It was his 12th first long of the year and his first since July 21. Over 17 contests since the All-Star break, the 25-year-old is slashing .235/.310/.431 with three homers, one steal, six RBI and 11 runs as he fights for playing time with Jeff McNeil, Ronny Mauricio and Mark Vientos between second base and third base.

Hayes went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 14-8 win over the Pirates.

Hayes initiated the Reds' four-run third inning when he doubled and scored the club's first run. After an initial surge upon joining Cincinnati at the trade deadline, Hayes is slumping with just two hits in his last 19 at-bats.

Alexander went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 13-6 win over Colorado.

Alexander logged a third straight multi-hit game and has reached base safely in all nine contests since taking over as the primary starter at third base. He's gone 12-for-31 (.387) with two doubles, two home runs, five walks, seven RBI and five runs since the Diamondbacks traded Eugenio Suarez.

Shaw went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Cardinals.

Shaw provided the Cubs' lone scoring play when he took Sonny Gray deep in the fifth inning. It's the second homer in as many days for Shaw, who has swatted seven of his nine homers this season over his last 19 games. He was hitting .198 entering the All-Star break but is now batting .228 with a .683 OPS, 30 RBI, 40 runs scored, 14 stolen bases, 15 doubles and one triple over 83 contests. The rookie third baseman still hasn't reached his potential, but he's trending upward, which is a good sign as he continues to occupy a starting role on a team in the wild-card race.

DeJong went 3-for-5 with two RBI singles during Sunday's 8-0 win over San Francisco.

The veteran infielder has handled some regular playing time at second base this week while Luis Garcia tends to a back injury, and DeJong delivered a second straight multi-hit game. Sunday's performance marked his second game with at least three hits in 2025, and his second with multiple RBI. DeJong is slashing .243/.287/.367 on the year.

Marte went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, four RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 14-8 win over the Pirates.

Marte did most of his damage late, giving the Reds a 5-4 lead with an RBI double in the sixth inning before adding a three-run homer in the ninth. The converted outfielder has now recorded consecutive three-hit games for the first time this season, piling up five extra-base hits and five RBI in that span. For the year, he's slashing .287/.328/.509 with eight homers, 33 RBI, 26 runs scored and seven steals across 183 plate appearances.
