Riley went 2-for-2 with three walks and a run scored in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Brewers.

Riley reached base in all five plate appearances Sunday. He came around to score following a walk in the seventh inning. The 24-year-old raised his slash line to an impressive .291/.405/.394 through 153 plate appearances. It was hit fourth multi-hit performance of the month.

Davis (hand) will join Triple-A Syracuse for a rehab assignment this week, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

The Mets originally expected the 28-year-old to be activated from the injured list this weekend, but he'll instead head to Triple-A for some rehab games. Davis has been sidelined for a little over two weeks, so he should need only a couple games in the minors to get back up to speed.

GM Ben Cherington said Sunday that Hayes (wrist/hand) is expected to begin a rehab assignment within "the next several days," Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The 23-year-old shifted to the 60-day injured list last weekend and isn't eligible to be activated until early June, so he's not on the cusp of his return. Hayes could build up slowly during the rehab stint with over two weeks until he can rejoin the active roster.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in the 6-5 loss to the Reds on Saturday.

McMahon homered off Tyler Mahle in the first inning for his ninth of the season. It was his first long ball since April 27. The 26-year-old has three RBI and five runs in his last three games. He is slashing .265/.313/.503 in 163 plate appearances and is leading the Rockies in home runs (9), RBI (26) and runs (27).

Muncy went 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI in Saturday's 7-0 victory over Miami.

All three of Muncy's hits were singles, and his base knock in the fifth inning brought home the Dodgers' third run of the game. The first baseman has been red hot of late, registering three straight multi-hit contests. Over his past four games, Muncy has gone a collective 8-for-14 with three homers, seven RBI and six runs. He has brought his season average up over 40 points to .261 with the productive stretch.

Moustakas (heel) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

The 32-year-old will miss his second straight game after suffering a heel contusion Friday. Nick Senzel (heel) will shift to third base in Moustakas' absence while Jonathan India starts at the keystone and Kyle Farmer works at first base.

Senzel (heel) will bat leadoff and start at third base Sunday against the Rockies.

The 25-year-old was limited to bench duties the past two games after suffering the heel injury Thursday, but he'll rejoin the starting nine Sunday in Colorado. Senzel is making his first major-league start at third base, though he was shifted to the hot corner in-game once earlier this season.

Duffy went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to the Tigers.

His first long ball of the season came off Alex Lange in the fifth inning, giving the Cubs a 7-6 lead -- the third of four leads on the day that would eventually slip through their fingers. Duffy continues to see consistent playing time in May, slashing .282/.310/.436 in 42 plate appearances on the month, but he'll need to keep hitting to avoid falling into a bench role now that the team's roster is mostly healthy.

Arenado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Padres.

The third baseman launched a 406-foot solo homer in the sixth inning. The long ball was his second in as many games and eighth overall this season. Over his past three games, Arenado has gone 7-for-13 with two homers, two runs and three RBI.

Escobar went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three total runs and seven total RBI in an 11-4 win over Washington on Saturday.

Escobar plated two runs with a single in the first inning, but that was only the beginning of a big night at the plate. He launched a three-run homer to right field in the fourth and a two-run shot in the eighth, helping him tie a career high with seven RBI. Escobar entered the game mired in a 1-for-34 slump and is batting only .213 on the season, but his nine home runs are tied for 13th in the league.
