Giants' Evan Longoria: RBI and run scored in return
Longoria (side) went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, a walk and a run scored in Friday's 8-5 win over the Cubs.
Longoria missed two games with right side soreness. He knocked in Brandon Crawford for San Francisco's first run, then came around to score on a Steven Duggar home run. Longoria has maintained a solid .275/.363/.506 slash line with nine home runs, 30 RBI, 27 runs scored and a stolen base as a near-everyday option at third base.

Padres' Manny Machado: Plates two runs
Machado went 1-for-3 with a home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Friday's win over the Mets.
Machado has hit safely in seven of his last eight games, and he also ended a 10-game homer drought with his first-inning blast, his seventh of the season. The star infielder also plated the other Padres run when he drew a bases-loaded walk in the seventh.

Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN
Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Slugs homer
Hayes went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 9-2 win over Miami.
In his second game back from a wrist injury, Hayes wasted little time in making an impact. He slugged a two-run homer in the first inning and added an RBI single during Pittsburgh's five-run rally in the sixth. The third baseman is 4-for-8 with a homer, a triple, three RBI and three runs scored in the last two games. He should be good to go for an everyday role, and the early returns are promising.

Segura has found a groove lately -- he's on a five-game hitting streak, going 7-for-20 (.350) with four stolen bases and five runs scored in that span. For the season, the infielder is slashing .320/.364/.451 with three home runs, 12 RBI, 21 runs scored and six steals.

Muncy (ankle) is considered day-to-day following his early exit from Friday's win over Atlanta, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Manager Dave Roberts said after Friday's contest that Muncy "felt something not right" with his right ankle, and the infielder will be reevaluated Saturday to determine the extent of the issue. If the 30-year-old misses additional time, Albert Pujols could step in at first base.

McMahon (groin) will sit for the second straight game Friday against the Athletics, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
