Longoria is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets after jamming his left shoulder on an attempted dive Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Longoria may be available off the bench, which indicates the injury isn't a serious concern. The 36-year-old could also be held out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale if the Giants want to express additional caution, as it would allow the veteran an extra two days to recover with a scheduled day off to follow Thursday.

Madrigal (back) took part in hitting, fielding, running and throwing drills during an on-field workout Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Fellow injured middle infielder Nico Hoerner (ankle) also performed the same activities, as both look to be at similar spots in their respective rehab programs. Madrigal and Hoerner could both be ready to begin minor-league rehab assignments later this week before potentially returning from the 10-day injured list by the end of the month. Though both Madrigal and Hoerner handled everyday roles for the Cubs prior to hitting the shelf, the two may have to fend off Andrelton Simmons and Jonathan Villar for starts in the middle infield once they're back from the IL.

Farmer (general soreness) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Farmer will take a seat for the second game in a row due to the injury, which is believed to be a minor concern. Matt Reynolds will replace Farmer at shortstop Tuesday and bat ninth for Cincinnati.

Arenado went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 7-3 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.

Arenado entered Monday in a small skid, having gone 1-for-15 in his last four games. He changed that up with a multi-hit effort, his 12th such game this season. The third baseman was also caught stealing on his first attempt at a stolen base this year. He's slashing .294/.353/.556 with nine home runs, 32 RBI, 20 runs scored and 13 doubles through 41 contests overall.

Segura went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.

The steal was Segura's sixth of the year, but five of them have come in his last 11 games. The veteran infielder is slashing a blistering .357/.400/.557 through 19 games in May with four homers, 12 runs and 12 RBI in addition to his recent production on the basepaths.

Davis went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs and two RBI in a 13-3 win over the Giants on Monday.

Davis doubled in a run in the sixth inning and notched another RBI with a single in the ninth. He finished with his first performance with more than two hits on the campaign. The big effort lifted Davis' batting average over 40 points from .188 to .230.

Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's win over the Reds.

That's now four straight games with home runs for Wisdom and 10 total long balls on the season across 38 contests. He continues to be an all-or-nothing type player, as he also struck out two more times Monday, giving him 58 strikeouts through 144 plate appearances this season. Fantasy managers may have to simply accept a low batting average with Wisdom, though he now has 38 homers in 144 games with the Cubs dating back to last year, so he's certainly delivered plenty of value as well.

Hayes went 3-for-3 with an RBI double, a run scored, one walk and a stolen base in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.

Hayes gave the Pirates an early lead with an RBI double off of Chad Kuhl in the first inning. He later singled, stole second and scored the go-ahead run in the eighth. The 25-year-old had been in a 6-for-42 (.143) slump since his last multi-hit performance May 10. Hayes is now slashing .290/.377/.370 with five steals and 11 doubles through 159 plate appearances.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated recently that Muncy will spend more time at third base while Justin Turner logs most of his work at designated hitter moving forward, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Muncy has struggled mightily this season, slashing just .157/.327/.276 with three homers in 154 plate appearances. Turner has been playing better of late but still owns a subpar .207/.265/.364 slash line with four homers through 140 at-bats. Roberts suggested that the change is meant to help both veterans settle into a consistent role, likely in the hope that such a move will jumpstart their bats. "I think getting each of those guys more accustomed to a certain role, I think ultimately could be beneficial," Roberts stated.

Farmer won't play Monday against the Cubs due to general soreness, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Exactly where Farmer is sore is unclear, so this may be simply a general wear-and-tear rest day. There hasn't been any indication he's dealing with a serious injury, but it's still possible he needs more than one day to recover. Matt Reynolds will get the start at shortstop in his absence.
