Muncy left Wednesday's win over Minnesota in the fifth inning after a ground ball hit him in the hand. X-rays after the game were negative, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Muncy went 1-for-2 with a home run before departing. It doesn't sound like a serious injury, but he may need to sit out a game or two.

Rosario has gone 21-for-44 (.477) with four homers, three steals, 13 RBI and 16 runs in his last 11 games for Triple-A El Paso.

These are only the latest in a lengthy series of exploits for Rosario, who's racked up an eye-popping .373/.452/.741 batting line across the last 49 games, lifting his season line to .299/.385/.529 with 18 homers and 18 steals. Rosario's development this season has been nothing short of remarkable, but it's hard to see the competing Padres finding many reps for him at the big-league level this season.

Wisdom is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Nationals.

Wisdom will get a breather after he went 2-for-8 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. P.J. Higgins will take over at first base and bat eighth in the series finale.

Machado went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Giants.

Machado picked a great time for his 20th homer of the year, as it was a walkoff blast to answer the Giants' three-run rally in the top of the ninth inning. Aside from the shortened 2020 campaign, Machado has reached the 20-homer mark in seven straight full seasons. The third baseman has gone 10-for-38 (.263) with two homers and six RBI through 10 games in August. For the season, he's slashing .290/.362/.509 with 63 RBI, 70 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 102 contests.

Muncy went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and an additional RBI in a 10-3 win against the Twins on Tuesday.

Muncy connected on a solo shot off Minnesota starter Joe Ryan in the second inning and added an RBI double in the seventh to extend his hitting streak to a modest six games, coinciding with the start of August. During the stretch, the 31-year-old is slashing .375/.400/.875 with three home runs and doubles apiece in 24 at-bats and the successful week has upped Muncy's OPS from .613 to .665.

Riley went 3-for-6 with one triple, one homer, five RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-innings win over the Red Sox.

The All-Star third baseman filled the stat sheet Tuesday with a home run, a triple, and five RBI. The home run was Riley's first since July 29, and the strong performance helped propel Atlanta to the victory over the Red Sox. Tuesday's effort bolsters Riley's MVP case, as he improved to an NL-leading 255 total bases on the season.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Tuesday's 16-5 win over the Cardinals.

McMahon got absolutely all of his homer off Cardinals reliever T.J. McFarland in the seventh inning. The moonshot left the bat at 110.4 mph and went 495 feet. This was McMahon's third homer in his last five games, giving him 11 for the year. His slash line remains a pedestrian .242/.339/.397, and he's added 52 RBI, 43 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 106 contests. He's hit safely in all seven games in which he's recorded an at-bat in August.

Segura went 2-for-3 with one homer, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over Miami.

Segura took a Braxton Garrett slider deep to left to extend the Phillies' lead to two in the fourth inning. The second baseman has now recorded hits in his last two games, a welcome sign after he began hitless in his first two games since returning from the IL. Segura appears to have returned to form and is poised to provide a strong batting average and meaningful counting stats the rest of the way hitting in the middle of the Philadelphia lineup.

Castro was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis and will start at second base Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

The 23-year-old spent most of May in the majors and posted a .565 OPS in 78 plate appearances before being demoted in early June, and he'll return to the big club ahead of Tuesday's contest in Arizona. Castro should fill a utility role while up with the Pirates. Cal Mitchell was optioned to Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

Longoria is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, according to Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com.

Longoria returned to action Monday after missing two weeks with a hamstring injury, but he will be eased back into action and open Tuesday's game on the bench. Tommy La Stella will man the hot corner for the Giants and LaMonte Wade will serve as the designated hitter.
