McMahon went 0-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Marlins.

McMahon knocked in a run with a fielder's choice in the fifth inning and promptly stole second. He's now 0-for-11 across the last three games, and his RBI was his third over the last 11 contests. For the season, the infielder is slashing a poor .216/.290/.377 with four home runs, four steals, 19 RBI and 21 runs scored through 47 games.

Machado (hand) took swings off a tee Tuesday, Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

Padres manager Bob Melvin told reporters after the workout that he's not sure when Machado will be ready to come off the injured list. He's first eligible for activation this Friday, though that would be fairly aggressive timeline given the star third baseman has a small fracture in his left hand. There should be more clarity on the situation after a few more days of treatment and baseball activity.

Moustakas is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Marlins.

Moustakas will take a seat after he went 3-for-7 with a run scored and an RBI while starting two games during the Rockies' three-game series with Texas. Michael Toglia will take over at first base and bat eighth in the series opener with Miami.

Sosa is absent from the Phillies' lineup for Monday's contest versus the Diamondbacks, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Sosa has struggled in May following a nice April, although he did have five hits over the weekend against the Cubs. Josh Harrison will be at third base Monday.

Candelario went 4-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's win over the Tigers.

The 29-year-old switch hitter did his best to make Detroit regret letting him go last fall. Over the course of a three-game series against the Tigers, Candelario went 6-for-13, and over his last 11 contests he's slashing .450/.522/.800 with half of his 18 hits going for extra bases (six doubles, a triple and two home runs.)

Vargas went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Tigers.

Getting a rare start at shortstop and batting seventh, Vargas took Joey Wentz deep in the third inning for his second homer of the year. The 31-year-old utility player has been productive when called upon -- he's made seven appearances in May and produced four multi-hit performances, batting .458 (11-for-24) on the month with seven RBI.

Davis went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Marlins.

Davis put the Giants ahead 4-2 with his blast in the third inning. He'd hit a rough patch recently, going 2-for-19 over his previous seven contests before breaking out of the slump Sunday. The infielder is slashing .288/.363/.496 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 16 runs scored and five doubles through 43 games this season, earning a near-everyday role after initially looking like a platoon option to begin the year.

Arenado went 3-for-4 with a double and three runs scored in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Dodgers.

Arenado was the only one of the Cardinals' Nos. 1-5 hitters to hit safely in the contest, but the bottom of the lineup had a productive game. The third baseman extended his hitting streak to 12 games, a span in which he's gone 20-for-49 (.408) with six home runs, 16 RBI and 11 runs scored. For the season, he's slashing .278/.322/.460 with nine long balls, 34 RBI, 26 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases. After a rough start to the year, he appears to be getting back to his usual level of performance.

Muncy was ejected from Sunday's game against the Cardinals for arguing balls and strikes, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The 32-year-old struck out in both his plate appearances and was ejected for arguing a called third strike during the fourth inning. Muncy should be back in the lineup Monday in Atlanta, while Chris Taylor replaced him at third base Sunday.

Wisdom is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus Philadelphia.

Wisdom will get a day off after he's gone 1-for-11 with a double and eight strikeouts over the last three games. Miles Mastrobuoni will draw the start at the hot corner and bat eighth in the series finale with the Phillies.
