Riley went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Rays.

Riley got Atlanta on the scoreboard in the fourth after blasting a two-run homer to center. He would then walk and single his next two times up. The 24-year-old has hit safely in seven of his last eight games and will need to continue to pick up some of the slack left behind by Ronald Acuna's season-ending knee injury. For the year, Riley is slashing .279/.362/.478 with 15 homers, 44 RBI, 43 runs scored and 36:91 BB:K over 359 plate appearances.

Suarez went 1-for-2 with two walks, a double and two RBI in Friday's 11-6 loss to the Brewers.

He gave the Reds a 4-1 lead in the third inning with a two-run double, but Tyler Mahle and the bullpen let it slip away. Suarez has hit a little better in July, but he's still only slashing .211/.302/.421 through 11 games on the month with two homers and eight RBI.

Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Chicago's 5-1 triumph over Arizona on Friday.

Wisdom took Matt Peacock yard to left for a valuable insurance run in the seventh but didn't do anything productive at the dish otherwise. Astoundingly enough, 13 of the corner infielder's 17 extra-base hits have left the ballpark and he sports a robust .630 slugging as a result.

Longoria (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Longoria was able to increase his baseball activity prior to the All-Star break, and the team was hoping he'd be able to return early in the second half. However, the 35-year-old will now be sidelined until at least early August following his move to the 60-day IL. It's not yet clear when the third baseman could begin a rehab assignment.

Vosler was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Vosler was recalled July 6 and wound up going 0-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored across five pinch-hit appearances. He'll head back to Sacramento for the time being, with Mike Tauchman (knee) being reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding roster move.

Davis (hand) was activated from the 60-day injured list Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

It was reported Thursday that the 28-year-old traveled with the team to Pittsburgh, so it's not much of a surprise to see him make his return from the injured list. Davis could end up splitting time at third base with Jonathan Villar, who starts at the hot corner Friday.

Anderson (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports.

Anderson has been out since late May with a left shoulder subluxation. The long absence means he's in line for a fairly lengthy rehab assignment, especially as he's been placed on the 60-day injured list and is ineligible to return before July 25.

Maton was scratched from the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Marlins with a laceration on his right middle finger, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Maton was penciled in to start at third base, but he was scratched after suffering the finger laceration during batting practice. The 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day, and it's unclear if he'll be available off the bench Friday in either game. Ronald Torreyes will take over at the hot corner.

Davis (hand) traveled to Pittsburgh with the team and will be activated from the injured list before Friday's game, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

A return immediately after the All-Star break was expected for Davis, though this news confirms that expectation. He's been on the injured list since May 3 and played in 10 rehab games since June 27. Davis should be penciled in as the Mets' starting third baseman, likely hurting Jonathan Villar's potential for playing time.

Anderson's injured left shoulder has responded well to baseball activities, but the Marlins have yet to set a date for him to begin a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports. "He's been hitting on the field, he's been taking ground balls," manager Don Mattingly said Saturday, when asked about Anderson. "He's actually swinging right at this very second. And we haven't went backwards."

Mattingly added that he believes Anderson will have a chance to return from the 60-day injured list when first eligible July 25, but that will hinge on the third baseman completing a multi-game rehab assignment without issue. Before being shut down in late May with a left shoulder subluxation, Anderson was batting .250 with three home runs and three stolen bases through 36 games.
