Longoria will sit for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Those with Longoria on their teams won't love seeing him miss out on a game at Coors Field, but it's no surprise that the Giants won't ask his 35-year-old legs to handle two games in one day. Jason Vosler starts at third base in his absence, but Longoria will likely return to the lineup for the nightcap.

The Giants recalled Vosler from their alternate training site Tuesday.

He was summoned to replace Tommy La Stella (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Like La Stella, Vosler is a left-handed hitter capable of playing both corner-infield spots, but the Giants are unlikely to view the 27-year-old as much more than a depth piece while he's up with the big club. Wilmer Flores and Mauricio Dubon are likelier candidates to pick up starts while La Stella is on the mend.

Kieboom has made significant progress with his swing at the Nationals' alternate training site, Maria Torres of The Athletic reports. "His batting practices look totally different than they did in spring training," Triple-A Rochester manager Matt LeCroy said Monday, "He's ready to show people that he can play."

The 23-year-old squandered another chance to lock down a starting role in the majors this spring due to his struggles at the plate, but the Nats haven't yet given up on him. Josh Harrison's hot start has taken away some urgency for the team to get Kieboom to the majors, but if the youngster rakes at Triple-A, he could put pressure on Starlin Castro, whose .253/.271/.341 slash line is below expectations.

Vargas was recalled by the Cubs and will bat eighth and play second base in the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Vargas spent three days in the big leagues in mid-April, going 0-for-2 in a pair of appearances off the bench. With a career .252/.280/.388 slash line, Vargas is unlikely to find himself in the lineup on a regular basis during his time with the team.

Arenado went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Monday's 6-5 win over the Mets.

The third baseman took Joey Lucchesi deep in the third inning, snapping his 14-game homerless drought. Arenado has been productive to begin his first season with St. Louis, hitting .265 with five home runs and 21 RBI through 29 games.

Segura (quadriceps) will embark on a rehab assignment this week, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

It's not clear exactly when the assignment will begin or how long it will last, but Segura should be back from his strained right quadriceps before too long. He was hitting .333/.359/.450 through 17 games prior to the injury.

Davis (hand) landed on the 10-day injured list Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Davis left Saturday's game against the Phillies with a sprained left hand, and the issue is evidently serious enough to sideline him for at least 10 days. Jonathan Villar will step into the lineup in his absence, batting seventh and playing third base Monday against the Cardinals. Trevor Hildenberger was recalled in a corresponding move.

Peterson (thumb) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Peterson has been on the shelf for just over the minimum 10 days, so he likely won't need much time to ramp up in the minors before being ready to return from the injured list. The 30-year-old will likely serve as Milwaukee's top utility man once he's reinstated.

Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, and an additional RBI in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Cubs in 10 innings.

Moustakas supplied one of five Reds long balls on the day and reached base three times in total after also being struck by a pitch. The 32-year-old improved his slash line to .250/.353/.500 after the big day, and he should continue to pile up counting stats while occupying a spot in the heart of a Reds lineup that has been one of the majors' stronger units this season.

The Pirates aren't putting a timeline for return with Hayes (wrist, hand), though he will travel with the team during its seven-day road trip that starts Monday, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

General manager Ben Cherington said Sunday that Hayes is dealing with discomfort in both his lower hand and wrist -- previously it was thought that only his wrist was hurt. Cherington mentioned Hayes will continue to receive "conservative care," though he hit soft-toss over the weekend. "As much as we want, nobody wants to be out there more than he does," the general manager said of Hayes. "I know he's champing at the bit but we've got to do it right. We're talking about a part of the body that's really important for a hitter."
