Arenado went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Yankees.

The Yankees put up a four spot in the third inning, but Arenado's slam in the fifth canceled it out. The Diamondbacks were able to hang on from there. Over his last 13 games, Arenado has gone 18-for-46 (.391) with six homers and 13 RBI. He is now batting .247 with a .777 OPS, 27 homers, 78 RBI, 73 runs scored, 23 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases through 146 contests this season.

Sanoja went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Padres.

Sanoja's seventh-inning blast off Walker Buehler at least made the Marlins look competitive in a game during which they had just four hits as a team. Over 18 games in September, Sanoja has gone 25-for-72 (.347) with 10 extra-base hits and 16 RBI. He's batting .291 with a .784 OPS, 10 homers, 67 RBI, 49 runs scored, 31 doubles, five triples and 11 stolen bases over 138 contests in a breakout year in 2026.

Bregman was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds after being struck in the face by a foul ball while in the on-deck circle, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

A check swing by Michael Busch resulted in an unusual trajectory for the foul ball, and Bregman had minimal time to protect himself. The veteran third baseman immediately headed to the clubhouse and was replaced by a pinch hitter. According to Montemurro, Bregman had a laceration, a bloody nose and a swollen cheek. He was sent to the hospital to be evaluated further.

Karros was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners due to back spasms.

Karros was penciled in at third base but will instead remain on the bench due to the back issue. He'll have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery. Connor Norby will shift to the hot corner while TJ Rumfield enters the lineup at first base.

Gorman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

It's the fourth time Gorman has been absent from St. Louis' lineup in the past five games, with only one of those absences coming against a left-handed starting pitcher. The recent returns of JJ Wetherholt and Masyn Winn from injuries have resulted in Thomas Saggese pushing into the third-base mix alongside Jose Fermin, leaving little playing time for Gorman.

Riley is out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Astros.

Riley will ride the pine after striking out eight times over his last four games. Mauricio Dubon will man the hot corner and bat fifth for Atlanta during Sunday's series finale against Houston.

The Rockies designated Machin for assignment Saturday.

With Jose Quintana (elbow) returning from the 60-day IL, a 40-man spot was needed, and Machin ends up as the roster casualty. Machin provides defensive versatility around the infield but little with the bat, as evidenced by his .209/.289/.269 career slash line over parts of five big-league seasons.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Saturday that Jordan (ankle) will not play again this season, John Denton of Roundtable.io reports.

Jordan was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain in late August. While he recently shed his walking boot and began incorporating some baseball activities, the Cardinals ultimately decided to shut him down early because of the severity of the injury he suffered, according to Denton. The 23-year-old Jordan ends his rookie season with a .247/.276/.382 slash line and three homers over 199 plate appearances.

House is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Jorbit Vivas will start at third base against right-hander Michael McGreevy as House sits for the second time in three games. House, a right-handed hitter, has a .333/.404/.538 slash line with the platoon edge this season but just a .197/.254/.332 line against same-side pitching.

Cabrera joined the Reds' active roster Saturday.

Cabrera seemed destined to join the Reds' Triple-A affiliate when he was claimed off waivers from the Yankees on Friday, but Cincinnati will instead add him to its active roster to provide depth in both the infield and outfield. TJ Friedl was sent down to Louisville in a corresponding move.
