Anderson (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. He'll start at third base and bat seventh in the Marlins' series opener in St. Louis, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

Anderson spent just under a month on the injured list but began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday and went 1-for-10 with a walk and five strikeouts over three minor-league games. He should see plenty of playing time at the hot corner now that he's been activated, but Jon Berti's strong play recently has likely earned him his fair share of at-bats. Anderson slashed .267/.374/.410 with two homers, 21 runs, six RBI and a stolen base over 32 games prior to his absence.

Peterson went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a steal in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.

Peterson scored on a Christian Yelich groundout in the second inning. He also swiped a bag in the game. It was his ninth steal of the season. The third baseman is on a three-game hit streak, raising his batting average to .231 in the process. Peterson is slashing .262/.324/.431 in June.

Senzel went 3-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a walk in a 10-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.

The No. 8 hitter enabled the Reds' offensive barrage from the bottom of the order by not making an out the entire game. The 26-year-old center fielder has now hit safely in four straight games and is hitting .236 on the season with one home run and 12 RBI.

Moustakas is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at San Francisco, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Moustakas went 3-for-7 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs across the first two games of the series, but he'll take a seat Sunday despite the fact righty Anthony DeSclafani is pitching for the Giants. Max Schrock will bat leadoff as the designated hitter.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Farmer started the past eight games and will receive Sunday off after slashing .276/.344/.345 during that stretch. Matt Reynolds will take over at shortstop and bat sixth.

Machado (ankle) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The 29-year-old will be held out of the lineup for the seventh straight game as he continues to nurse a sprained left ankle. Machado has participated in light workouts and was scheduled for batting practice Saturday, so he may be able to rejoin the lineup Tuesday in Arizona following Monday's scheduled off day.

Hayes (shoulder) is starting at third base and batting leadoff Sunday against the Rays, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Hayes was held out of the lineup the past two days with a left shoulder injury sustained in a home-plate collision with the Cubs' Willson Contreras, but he'll retake the field for Sunday's series finale in Tampa Bay. The 25-year-old has a .200/.250/.373 slash line with two home runs, eight RBI and a 30 percent strikeout rate through 19 games in June.

Astudillo was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 30-year-old was called up to the big-league club in late May, and he had a .270/.289/.351 slash line with one home run, four RBI and five runs in 17 games over the past month. Astudillo could remain in the organization if he passes through waivers unclaimed. Erik Gonzalez had his contract selected in a corresponding move.

Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Cardinals.

Wisdom didn't go deep, though he still managed to have a decent game. The walk is encouraging, but he also struck out twice, and he's now sitting with a 34.8 percent strikeout rate for the season. That will continue to limit Wisdom's ability to consistently reach base, so he's typically dependent on home runs to fuel his fantasy value. The third baseman does at least lead the team with 14 long balls this year.

Arenado went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in a 5-3 win over the Cubs on Saturday.

Arenado is cruising on his way to another excellent season. The veteran third baseman now has 35 runs on the season to go along with a quality .284/.350/.515 slash line. He continues to be a highly-productive everyday player for the Cardinals and is flirting with the possibility of his fourth 40-home run season.
