MLB Player News

Longoria is considered day-to-day after being diagnosed with a mild intercostal strain, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The 35-year-old is out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Angels, but he could be back in action Thursday versus the Cubs following Wednesday's scheduled off day, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Mauricio Dubon is starting at the hot corner Tuesday in Longoria's absence.

Duffy (back) has been doing some light swinging recently, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Duffy has been on the 10-day injured list since May 25 due to a lower-back strain, but he hasn't yet started running or taking grounders. Although he's eligible to return from the injured list this week, it appears he could miss more than the minimum 10 days.

Escobar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Mets.

The Diamondbacks were kept in check by New York's Jacob deGrom over six innings before Escobar got them on the board with his 13th home run of the season in the seventh. Escobar has hit safely in 15 of his last 16 games at a .309 clip with six homers, 19 RBI and 11 runs scored.

Wisdom went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a stolen base in Monday's 7-2 win over the Padres.

Wisdom totally stuffed the stat sheet Monday, starting with a single and a stolen base in the second inning. He then launched solo homers in the fourth and sixth innings. Since being recalled from Triple-A Iowa on May 25, he's gone 7-for-15 with three homers and four runs scored.

Longoria (side) said after Monday's 6-1 win over the Angels that he intends to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run before leaving in the sixth inning with right side soreness. The veteran third baseman said he doesn't expect to start in Tuesday's series finale with the Angels, but he's hopeful the MRI will reveal that he isn't dealing with anything more than a day-to-day concern. Mauricio Dubon and Wilmer Flores would be the top candidates to fill in at third base if Longoria is forced to miss time.

Farmer went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and five RBI in Monday's 11-1 win over the Phillies.

His two-run shot in the third inning blew the game open and spurred Farmer to a career-best five-RBI day. The 30-year-old infielder snapped an 0-for-14 mini-slump with the performance, but on the season he's hitting only .215 with four homers, 13 runs and 17 RBI through 50 games.

Longoria was removed in the top of the sixth inning of Monday's game against the Angels with right side soreness, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria battled a similar injury during the abbreviated 2020 campaign, so while he's being treated as day-to-day for now, his status will bear watching as the week rolls along. Mauricio Dubon came on to replace Longoria, who went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run before departing with the injury.

Moustakas (heel) was running in the outfield ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Moustakas has been on the injured list since May 20 due to a right heel contusion. The team was initially hopeful that the third baseman wouldn't need to spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the IL, but he's now missed more time than that and isn't starting Monday. It's not yet clear when Moustakas will be cleared to return to game action.

Maton isn't starting Monday's game against the Reds.

Maton will be out of the lineup for a fourth straight game as Ronald Torreyes appears to have taken over as the primary shortstop while Didi Gregorius (elbow) is sidelined. Maton is hitting .268 with two home runs, nine runs and eight RBI this season.

Davis (hand) is expected to resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, SNY.tv reports.

Davis' rehab stint was paused last week after he experienced some neck stiffness, and an MRI recently revealed joint inflammation in his left hand. However, the 28-year-old was able to resume swinging Sunday and will take another step Tuesday once he returns to Triple-A Syracuse. It's not yet clear how much time Davis will need in the minors, but he appears to be trending toward a return.
