Riley went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 9-2 win over Colorado.

Riley drew a walk his first time up and then plated his first run in the third on a sacrifice fly. He later blasted a two-run homer in the seventh to put Atlanta up 9-1. The 24-year-old is putting up some impressive numbers during his first full MLB season, as he's slashing .305/.377/.539 with 29 long balls, 87 RBI, 75 runs scored and 50:133 BB:K over 557 plate appearances.

Duffy went 3-for-5 with a grand slam, a solo home run and a steal in Sunday's 11-8 win over the Pirates.

Duffy hit both home runs in consecutive innings. He led off the second with a solo shot and then took Wil Crowe deep for a second time in the third for a grand slam. The 30-year-old later notched his third hit of the day in the eighth and stole second for his fifth steal of the year. Duffy now has multi-hit efforts in three of his last four games and is slashing .269/.346/.337 with three homers, 20 RBI, 34 runs scored and 20:48 BB:K over 234 plate appearances.

Hayes went 1-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 11-8 loss to the Cubs.

He batted leadoff for the first time in his career. Hayes had a chance to break a 7-7 tie with the bases loaded in the seventh inning but popped out. Still, it was good to see the third baseman back after missing five games with a bruised right hand caused by slamming his batting helmet in disgust.

Longoria isn't starting Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria returned to the lineup Saturday and went 1-for-4 with a strikeout. Kris Bryant will shift to third base while Steven Duggar enters the lineup in center field.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double Saturday in a 10-2 victory versus Houston.

The third baseman's 453-foot moonshot in the seventh inning was his longest of the campaign and his second-longest as a Padre, per Bernie Wilson of the Associated Press. Machado has collected four multi-hit efforts during his current eight-game hitting streak, during which he is slashing .353/.405/.647 with two homers, four doubles and five RBI.

Newman is not in the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Hayes (hand) is starting at third base and batting leadoff Sunday against the Cubs, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

A trip to the injured list was being considered given Hayes sat out the past five games with a bruised right hand, but he'll rejoin the lineup Sunday while making the first start of his MLB career at the top of the order. The 24-year-old is hitting .223/.291/.319 in 26 games since the start of August and will attempt to get back on track following the absence.

Segura started the past 26 games at the keystone for Philadelphia and will take a seat Sunday despite having an .886 OPS in the past nine contests. Freddy Galvis will take over at second base in the series finale versus the Marlins.
