Anderson went 0-for-2 with a walk Sunday in the Marlins' 12-7 loss to the Rays.

The Marlins are riding a four-game losing streak heading into Monday's make-up game against the Mets, so it comes as little surprise that one of the key bats in their lineup in Anderson has slumped during that stretch. He's gone 0-for-11 with five strikeouts in the four games, dropping his season-long average to .221. Manager Don Mattingly seems content to let Anderson work through his August swoon, as the third baseman will be back in the lineup as the Marlins' cleanup hitter Monday while Miami takes aim at Mets ace Jacob deGrom, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

Davis (hip) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

The Mets and Marlins are both facing quick turnarounds with Monday's starting at 1:10 p.m. ET, so it's not a major surprise that Davis will be on the bench after exiting the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Yankees when he was struck on the left hip by a pitch. Luis Guillorme will cover third base while Davis rests up.

Segura went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a run scored in Sunday's 12-10 loss to Atlanta.

Segura got aboard with a single in the third inning and came around to score on a Didi Gregorius triple. In the fourth, Segura's single plated Rhys Hoskins. The 30-year-old Segura is batting .256/.337/.411 with four homers, nine RBI, 14 runs scored and a stolen base through 25 games.

Riley went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and an RBI double in Sunday's 12-10 win over the Phillies.

Riley was a major factor in the Braves' 10-run second inning. He opened the scoring by plating Adam Duvall with a double and then scored the second run when Dansby Swanson drew a bases-loaded walk. Riley capped off the rally with a two-run blast. The third baseman is slashing .232/.282/.453 with six homers, 17 RBI and 12 runs scored through 28 games.

Davis left Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees with a left hip issue, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Davis took a fastball to the left hip Saturday, and the issue was apparently still bothering him Sunday as he left the twin bill early. However, he isn't expected to be hindered by the injury going forward.

Escobar went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Giants.

Escobar took Giants starter Johnny Cueto deep in the seventh inning for the Diamondbacks' only run in the game. The 31-year-old Escobar is slashing .200/.292/.350 with four homers, 16 RBI, 16 runs scored and a stolen base through 34 games this season. He showed some signs of life at the plate against the Giants, going 3-for-9 with a homer, a triple and a pair of walks in the three-game series.

Davis exited the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees with an apparent injury, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Davis grounded into a double play to end the sixth inning, and he subsequently left the game with a trainer. The nature and severity of the issue aren't yet known.

Escobar went 1-for-3 with a walk and a triple in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Giants.

Escobar, who led the Diamondbacks with 10 triples in 2019, hit his second of 2020. More than other struggling Arizona hitters, Escobar's production dip in 2020 is the most noticeable. His career-best .831 OPS of 2019 sits at .600 following Saturday's contest. Nothing glaring stands out as an obvious root cause, though he's hitting fewer fly balls and more grounders. This may also be a case of an unlucky hitter -- Escobar's BABIP is at .209.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, four RBI and two runs scored Saturday against the Rangers.

Muncy was a big part of the Dodgers' offensive effort, first driving in Austin Barnes on a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. He followed that up with a three-run homer in the seventh frame, his ninth of the campaign. Muncy was hitless in his past two games, but he now has three home runs in his past six contests. Overall, he's hitting .198/.322/.446 with 19 runs scored and 20 RBI across 146 plate appearances.

Machado went 3-for-4 with an RBI and scored twice in a victory over the Rockies on Friday.

Machado has not only strung together a 10-game hitting streak, but he has also notched multi-hit efforts in eight of those contests. Over his last four games, the 28-year-old has an absurd 1.964 OPS, going 11-for-17 with three homers and six RBI. The red-hot run has brought Machado's average to a healthy .308 on the season.
