Davis went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Davis briefly gave the Giants a lead in the second inning, but it slipped away by the fourth. Davis has gone 2-for-8 in two contests since joining the Giants, starting at third base in both games while Evan Longoria (hamstring) remains sidelined. Through 68 games between the Giants and the Mets this year, Davis owns a .238/.321/.370 slash line with five homers, 23 RBI, 27 runs scored and a stolen base. He'll have a chance at regular playing time until the Giants get some players back from injury, which could push the 29-year-old into a short-side platoon role.

Anderson (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville this weekend, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson has been on the injured list since July 24 but has been cleared to return to game action with the Triple-A club. The 29-year-old should be in the mix to rejoin the Marlins early next week.

McMahon went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a home run and five RBI Thursday against the Padres.

McMahon powered the Rockies' offense, highlighted by a three-run homer off Joe Musgrove in the fifth inning. He now has nine long balls on the season, two of which have come in his last 10 starts. While six of those games have come at home, McMahon has had a strong start to the team's road trip by collecting multiple hits in three consecutive contests. Overall, McMahon is hitting .241/.336/.384 across 405 plate appearances for the campaign.

Baty launched two two-run home runs for Double-A Binghamton on Thursday before the game was suspended due to severe weather, Michael Avallone of MLB.com reports.

The game will be completed Friday afternoon, with the Rumble Ponies already ahead 10-1 in the top of the third inning thanks in large part to Baty's own thunder. He's been locked in a lot longer than that, however -- over his last 16 games heading into Thursday, the 22-year-old slashed .424/.506/.742 with five homers and 20 RBI. Baty has soared up prospect rankings thanks to a breakout campaign, and with third base being the one spot in the Mets' infield that doesn't seem set for 2023, a big-league debut next season seems entirely possible if he continues slugging in the high minors.

Wisdom went 1-for-5 with two walks, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored across both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Wisdom did most of his damage in the second game, when he launched his 20th home run of the season and scored twice. The 30-year-old has now reached the 20-homer plateau in consecutive seasons after coming into last year with just four career long balls at the MLB level. He hit 28 home runs in 2021 and has a decent chance to surpass that in 2022 if he stays healthy.

Arenado went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in a 7-2 win against the Cubs in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader.

Arenado regained the lead for the Cards with a two-run home run off Chicago starter Sean Newcomb in the first inning while adding walks in the fifth and eighth. The 31-year-old has now homered in three of his last five games and is batting 5-for-17 with five walks in the span. The strong performance upped Arenado's slash line to .293/.363/.540, with his slugging and .903 OPS both ranking 10th in MLB.

Longoria (hamstring) will likely be able to return at some point during the Giants' series against the Padres that begins Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria has been sidelined with a Grade 1 hamstring strain since late July but will likely be able to rejoin the Giants after spending just over the minimum of 10 days on the IL. The 36-year-old has been fielding grounders and running over the last week, and it's not yet clear whether he'll embark on a brief rehab assignment prior to being activated.

Segura (finger) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list by the Phillies on Thursday. He'll man second base and bat seventh in the Phillies' series opener with the Nationals.

Segura has been sidelined the past two months after undergoing surgery for a fractured right index finger, but he's been cleared to rejoin the active roster after an eight-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 32-year-old should take over the everyday role at second base while Bryson Stott handles primary duties at shortstop. Segura had a .275/.324/.407 slash line with six homers, 19 RBI and eight stolen bases in 44 games prior to suffering the injury. Didi Gregorius was released by the Phillies in a corresponding move.

Newman isn't starting Thursday against the Brewers.

Newman started the last seven games and hit .367 with a triple, four doubles, three runs, two RBI and two stolen bases. Tucupita Marcano will take over at second base and lead off Thursday.

Vargas went 4-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

Getting the start at third base and batting ninth, the 31-year-old utility player kept flipping the lineup over, although Vargas' efforts didn't lead to any actual Washington offense until the ninth inning. With Cesar Hernandez and Maikel Franco both struggling at the plate this season, Vargas could see semi-consistent work around the infield, but the expected promotion of CJ Abrams -- one of the headliners in the package the Nationals received for Juan Soto -- would block one of those paths to playing time and potentially even cost Vargas his roster spot.
