Davis went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Marlins.

He smacked his fourth homer of the year when he drove a Humberto Mejia fastball to center field to lead off the fourth inning. Davis isn't yet matching the pace from his breakout 2019 but has still been a steady presence in the heart of the Mets' order, slashing .269/.418/.423 with two homers and six RBI through 15 games in August.

Longoria went 1-for-3 with one walk, a double, one RBI and three runs scored Tuesday against the Angels.

Longoria had an all-around productive day at dish, twice getting driven in by Pablo Sandoval. He had an RBI of his own in the top of the ninth inning, driving in Brandon Belt with a double. Longoria has swung the bat fairly well of late, racking up at least one hit in five of his last six starts. In that span, he's gone 6-for-24 with one home run, four RBI and five runs scored. In 72 plate appearances this season, Longoria is hitting .234/.292/.422 to go along with two home runs, nine RBI and nine runs scored.

Moustakas (quadriceps) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Moustakas worked out at the Reds' alternate training site Monday, and it apparently went well since he's expected to return in time for the Reds' doubleheader against the Royals on Wednesday. The team's layoff gave the 31-year-old some extra time to recover from his bruised quadriceps. Moustakas slashed .238/.333/.524 with two home runs and six RBI over his first seven games of 2020.

Segura (hamstring) isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Segura will miss the series opener against the Red Sox after he was forced to exit Sunday's contest due to a hamstring injury. Scott Kingery will take over at second base in Segura's absence.

Sosa (illness) was cleared to resume baseball activities Monday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Sosa was sidelined since early August after testing positive for COVID-19, but he'll now report to the team's alternate training site in Springfield to get back into game shape. It's unclear how much time he'll need before he's ready to return to the active roster, but he should serve as infield depth once he's back in the majors.

Senzel and all other Reds on the 28-man roster tested negative for COVID-19 on Sunday, making it likely the team will be able to return to action Tuesday in Kansas City, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

The Reds had the final two games of their weekend series versus the Pirates postponed after a Cincinnati player was revealed to have tested positive for the coronavirus Friday. Senzel was widely speculated to be the player in question after the team pulled him from the victory line following Friday's 8-1 win, but he now looks to be in the clear with the entire roster having since tested negative. The center fielder previously missed three games in July after self-reporting possible symptoms of the coronavirus, though he never actually tested positive.

Escobar went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 5-4 win over San Diego.

Escobar's three-run shot in the eighth inning proved to be the go-ahead hit in Sunday's contest. It was just the second extra-base hit of August for the 31-year-old. He's slashing .197/.282/.303 in 85 plate appearances.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Sunday against the Rangers.

McMahon took Kolby Allard deep in the second inning to jumpstart the Rockies offense. It was his third home run of the season and second in his last four starts. All three of his long balls have come at home this season, and he has reached base in just seven of 33 plate appearances on the road. He and the Rockies will be away from Coors Field for five of seven contests in the upcoming week.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Angels.

Muncy cranked his fifth homer of the year off Angels starter Julio Teheran in the third inning. The 29-year-old infielder has struggled to a .179/.293/.381 slash line, but he's produced 10 RBI and 11 runs scored across 99 plate appearances this season. Five of his RBI have come in the last two games.

Segura was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Mets due to a hamstring injury, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

The exact nature of the injury is not yet clear, but Segura will get at least one day to rest regardless of how serious it is with the Phillies scheduled for an off day Monday. Neil Walker entered the game in his place and would likely serve as the primary second baseman if he's forced to miss time.
