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."

Suarez went 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBI in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Cubs.

Suarez knocked his fifth home run of the year with a solo shot in the third inning before singling in a pair of runs in the sixth. The 29-year-old entered Sunday in a 1-for-31 slump over his last eight games and hadn't produced a multi-hit performance since April 10. He's up to 12 RBI and nine extra-base hits through 101 at-bats this season.

Riley went 4-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 7-2 loss to Toronto.

The Braves offense couldn't get much going Sunday, but Riley managed to knock four singles during the loss. It was his third multi-hit game over his last five appearances and second time with four hits during that span. The 24-year-old is slashing .329/.431/.459 with16 runs scored through 102 plate appearances.

Davis (hand) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 28-year-old suffered a left hand sprain during Saturday's game and will be sidelined for at least one contest. According to Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record, Davis doesn't believe it's a serious injury but isn't sure if a stay on the injured list will be necessary. Jonathan Villar will start at third base for the Mets in his absence Sunday.

Manager Don Mattingly expects Anderson (oblique) to return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 27-year-old was eligible to be activated during the weekend series against the Nationals, but he'll end up spending a little more than the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Anderson was off to a slow start before the injury with a .200/.262/.300 slash line, one home run, five RBI and three runs in 17 games.

Hayes (wrist) took swings in soft toss this weekend, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old has been throwing and running and was able to get a bat in his hands this weekend. It's only some light swinging, but it's significant step in his return from the wrist injury. Hayes will need to progress to facing live pitching before having a chance of returning from the injured list.

Longoria is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria started the past three games and will head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Wilmer Flores will start at the hot corner and bat third for the Giants.

Muncy is not in the lineup Sunday at Milwaukee, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Muncy is 2-for-39 with 15 walks and 18 strikeouts in his past 13 games, and he'll receive the day off Sunday to reset. Matt Beaty will start at first base and bat sixth for the Dodgers in the series finale.

Duffy is starting at third base and batting fifth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Duffy will be making his second start of the weekend series, as the Cubs have been using Kris Bryant in the outfield more frequently with Joc Pederson (wrist) on the injured list. Pederson is traveling with the team but has yet to be activated, so Duffy should continue to have some short-term fantasy value with the elevated playing time. He's slashing .275/.408/.300 through 40 at-bats this season.
