Chapman went 1-for-3 with two walks, one stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Guardians.

Tyler Fitzgerald stole second, and that gave Chapman enough time to dart home for the Giants' third run. Chapman has done it all over his last 15 games, batting .327 (18-for-55) with four home runs, three steals, 12 RBI and 14 runs scored in that span. Coming into 2024, he had stolen a total of 11 bases in his career, but he's already up to eight this season while adding 12 homers, 42 RBI, 58 runs scored and a .244/.328/.422 slash line through 87 games.

Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Muncy (oblique) has been shut down from swinging a bat, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Roberts added that Muncy hasn't progressed through his rehab as fast as the team had hoped, and the chances of the third baseman beginning a rehab assignment near the All-Star break have been reduced significantly. A right oblique strain has kept him on the injured list since May 17, though his latest setback once again leaves him without a clear return timeline.

The Nationals designated Senzel for assignment Saturday.

The move corresponds with the Nationals recalling Trey Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester. Senzel has struggled from the plate, and over his last 20 games he's slashed .147/.183/.206 with one home run, two RBI and a 22.5 percent strikeout rate across 68 at-bats. Should he clear waivers and opt for free agency, the 29-year-old should be able to latch onto a team looking for veteran infield depth.

The Nationals recalled Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.

Saturday marks the fourth time this season that Lipscomb has been called up to the majors, as he takes the spot on the 26-man roster vacated by Nick Senzel, who was designated for assignment. Since being optioned to Rochester on June 24, Lipscomb went 15-for-38 with five doubles, three home runs and 12 RBI. He will start at third base and bat eighth in Saturday's game against the Cardinals, per Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com.

Arenado went 4-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Nationals.

Arenado had one of his best games of the season. Even with his four hits, he remains cold in terms of run production -- he has just two RBI over his last 14 contests. For the year, he's at a .265/.317/.377 slash line with seven home runs, 34 RBI, 32 runs scored, 14 doubles and a stolen base over 81 games.

Morel isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Angels.

Morel has put together a three-game hitting streak, though he has also struck out six times in 12 at-bats over that span. He'll take a day to rest Saturday while David Bote fills in at third base, batting eighth.

Riley went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's loss to the Phillies.

Aaron Nola let a sinker catch too much of the plate in the fourth inning, and Riley drove it over the wall in center field for Atlanta's first runs of the night. The third baseman has an extra-base hit and at least one RBI in four straight games, and over his last 20 contests he's slashing .362/.438/.797 with six doubles, eight homers, 17 runs and 17 RBI.

Candelario went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to Detroit.

The steal was the fourth of the season for Candelario, who swiped a career-high eight bags in 2023. The corner infielder/designated hitter, who reversed a season-opening slump in June, is back on the skids. Candelario is 3-for-28 with a 30 percent strikeout rate over the last seven games.

Suarez started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Padres.

Suarez, whose job was in jeopardy three weeks ago, has resumed his role as the team's everyday third baseman since the Diamondbacks sent Blaze Alexander back to Triple-A Reno. Suarez has started seven consecutive games and is 7-for-22 (.318) over that time, raising his season average above .200.

The Padres optioned Rosario to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

With Luis Campusano (thumb) returning from the injured list, Rosario will end up as the odd man out on San Diego's active roster. The 24-year-old has slashed .245/.286/.528 in 57 plate appearances with the Padres this season, and his OPS is 1.022 at Triple-A. Should the Padres run into any problems with infield depth in the future, Rosario would be a likely candidate to rejoin the big-league squad.
