Kieboom went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Phillies.

He took Zack Wheeler deep in the third inning, but the Nats were already in a 6-2 hole at that point. Kieboom has three of his five homers on the season in his last 11 games, but his .179/.319/.436 slash line and 5:14 BB:K over that stretch indicate he's got a long way to go before he'll be a reliable fantasy asset.

Peterson went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Monday's 3-1 win over the Giants.

Peterson scored the second run of the game when Corbin Burnes drove him in in the second inning. In addition, he added a ground-rule double in the eighth frame. It was the third game this season Peterson reached base safely four times. The 31-year-old is slashing .278/.400/.428 with five homers, 28 RBI, 32 runs and eight steals in 220 plate appearances. He is receiving more playing time temporarily while Eduardo Escobar (hamstring) is on the 10-day injured list.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in a 5-3 triumph over Atlanta on Monday.

Muncy opened the scoring with a 405-foot bomb to right off Atlanta starter Drew Smyly in the first and followed it up with a single in the fourth. The infielder had been mired in a 1-for-24 slump across his last seven games. This was his first homer since Aug. 18.

Farmer went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a double in Monday's 3-1 loss to St. Louis.

Farmer drilled a solo shot off Jon Lester in the second inning and it proved to be the Reds' only run in the loss. He was 10-for-49 (.204) with two doubles since his last home run on Aug. 12. He's up to 12 homers, 48 RBI and a .716 OPS through 436 plate appearances on the year.

Vosler was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Vosler has been at Triple-A since the start of August but will return to the majors Monday. The 27-year-old has a .183/.263/.366 slash line in 80 plate appearances this season and should fill a depth role in the infield.

Mousakas (hip) won't start Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Moustakas left Saturday's game against the Marlins with a tight right hip and didn't appear in Sunday's contest, though it's unclear if that's the reason he remains out Monday. He's been platooning with Eugenio Suarez at third base, so he was always likely to sit Monday against lefty Jon Lester. Whether or not Moustakas will return Tuesday against righty Miles Mikolas remains to be seen.

Riley went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday in Atlanta's 9-0 win over San Francisco.

Riley's 423-foot blast off Anthony DeSclafani was the second home run of the fourth inning for Atlanta, which received a solo shot from Jorge Soler to lead off the frame. With 14 home runs and a .359/.411/.679 slash line since the All-Star break, the 24-year-old has been one of the majors' most prolific power hitters thus far in the second half.

Kieboom went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk in Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Mets.

Since being called back up in late July in the wake of Starlin Castro being placed on administrative leave and later handed a 30-game suspension, Kieboom has handled an everyday role at third base. Despite receiving his most extended look at the big-league level to date, Kieboom has yet to generate much enthusiasm from a fantasy perspective. In 124 plate appearances since the All-Star break, the 23-year-old is slashing .226/.333/.368 with four home runs, no stolen bases, 14 runs and 13 RBI.

Hayes was diagnosed with a bruised right hand after exiting Sunday's 4-3 win in the eighth inning, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. He went 1-for-3 with a run before leaving the game.

Wilmer Difo came on to replace Hayes, who hurt his hand at some point earlier in the contest. Fortunately for Hayes, the contusion isn't related to the left hand injury that cost him two months earlier this season, and X-rays conducted after he exited the game have already returned negative. Assuming Hayes isn't experiencing too much soreness or swelling coming out of Monday's off day, he should could rejoin the lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.

Hayes was removed in the top of the eighth inning of Sunday's game against the Cardinals with right hand discomfort, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. He went 1-for-3 with a run before departing.

Hayes previously missed two months early in the season with a left wrist issue, but it was his other hand that nagged him Sunday. The Pirates are likely hoping that with the benefit of a team off day Monday, Hayes will be ready to return to action Tuesday against the White Sox.
