Davis isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against Colorado, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Davis will get a rare day off Saturday after going 6-for-25 at the plate through the first week of July. Wilmer Flores will fill in at third base while batting third.

Arenado went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's loss to the White Sox.

Arenado launched a pair of two-run shots for his second multi-homer game of the year. His slow start to 2023 is now well behind him as his season slash line of .282/.329/.521 looks more like his usual production. Since the start of June, Arenado has registered a 1.053 OPS with 21 extra-base hits, including 10 home runs, and 26 RBI through 30 games.

Machado went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 extra-inning loss to the Mets.

Machado kept his bat warm with the pair of extra-base hits. He's logged multiple hits in five of six games in July, going 11-for-25 (.440) with four homers and 11 RBI this month. The third baseman's surge has him up to a .260/.305/.441 slash line with 13 long balls, 44 RBI, 39 runs scored and three stolen bases over 72 contests this season.

Pittsburgh placed Hayes on the 10-day injured list Friday with lower-back discomfort.

Hayes just returned Thursday from a two-week absence for a lower-back issue, and he apparently wasn't quite over it. He'll be sidelined through at least July 17, with Jared Triolo getting an extended audition at third base in Pittsburgh.

Candelario is out of the lineup with a sore right knee Friday versus the Rangers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Candelario was hit in the knee with a pitch Thursday and he'll now be forced to miss at least one game. Ildemaro Vargas will take over at third base and bat fifth Friday against Texas.

Baty (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Padres.

Baty will miss a second straight game while nursing hamstring tightness. Luis Guillorme will take over at the hot corner and bat ninth in the series opener with the Padres.

Senzel went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Nationals.

Senzel crushed the first pitch in the top of the 10th inning for a homer and plated the winning run for the Reds. He's homered in two consecutive games and has seven in 60 games. Senzel also showed off his versatility, playing center field, right field and third base.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Muncy has gone 7-for-28 (.250) over his last eight contests while smacking two homers and adding six RBI in that span. His blast Thursday was his 20th of the campaign -- a mark he's reached in each of the last five full seasons. The infielder is still batting just .195, but he's slugging .469 with 51 RBI, 46 runs scored, one stolen base and six doubles through 70 contests.

Hayes went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Hayes had a minimal stay on the injured list due to lower-back stiffness. He was able to pick up his ninth steal of the season, but offense was limited for the Pirates against Julio Urias and the Dodgers' bullpen. Hayes hit .337 (28-for-83) over 21 games in June prior to his injury, and he'll look to get back on track quickly. For the season, the third baseman owns a .252/.290/.393 slash line with five home runs, 32 RBI and 34 runs scored over 75 contests.

Arenado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's victory over the Marlins.

Arenado took Eury Perez yard for a solo shot in the sixth inning, moving his season total to 17 with three games left before the All-Star break. His home-run total ranks fourth among third basemen while Arenado is third at the position in batting average (.280). The 32-year-old has been red hot at the plate across his last nine games, going 12-for-30 (.400) with eight RBI and seven runs scored.
