Riley went 2-for-4 with a single and a two-run home run in Monday's 13-8 loss to the Phillies.

This was Riley's first multi-hit game of the season. Putting bat to ball with consistency has been a problem for Riley, who entered the night with a 37.2 K%, but Johan Camargo is in a similar funk and does not appear to be an immediate threat to usurp Riley as the primary third baseman.

Longoria is not in the lineup Monday against Houston, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The Giants have rotated heavily at several spots this season, though Longoria has generally been immune to those changes, as he'll sit Monday for just the second time since returning from an oblique injury back on July 30. Donovan Solano will get the start at the hot corner.

McMahon will not start Monday against the Diamondbacks, Jenny Cavnar of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

McMahon sits against lefty Robbie Ray, though it doesn't appear as though he's heading for a platoon role, as he started against each of the first six southpaws the Rockies have faced this season. Chris Owings will start at second base in his absence.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's 9-5 win over Arizona.

Machado was all over Arizona starter Madison Bumgarner on Sunday, taking him deep in the first and second innings. The 28-year-old third baseman is slashing .213/.314/.443 with 11 runs scored in 70 plate appearances.

Reds manager David Bell said Senzel (groin) checked out fine during a workout Sunday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Bell expects Senzel to return to the lineup Tuesday against the Royals.

Though Senzel will be on the bench for a second straight day in Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee after tweaking his left groin in Friday's opener, the injury doesn't appear to be a major concern. Travis Jankowski will pick up a start in center field in his stead, but Senzel may still be available to pinch hit.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Farmer will retreat to the bench after making three consecutive starts in the middle infield, allowing Christian Colon and Freddy Galvis to pick up starts at the keystone and shortstop, respectively. With Mike Moustakas (quadriceps) moving to the 10-day injured list Sunday, Farmer looks like he could be in store for more regular action at second base, which could make him worthy of a pickup in NL-only leagues.

Escobar is out of the lineup Sunday at San Diego.

Escobar will receive his first day off of the season after starting the first 15 games and posting a .488 OPS with two extra-base hits in 60 plate appearances. Andy Young will start at the hot corner in the series finale for Arizona.

Arenado is not in the lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

The 29-year-old is 0-for-13 with one walk over the past three games and will receive a day to reset Sunday. Overall this season, Arenado has a .185/.262/.352 slash line with three homers in 61 plate appearances. Chris Owings will take over at third base for the Rockies in the series finale.

Moustakas (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to Aug. 6.

The Reds previously hoped the 31-year-old would be able to return to action Tuesday, but he apparently requires additional time to recover from the left quad bruise. Moustakas will be eligible to be activated Aug. 16 against the Pirates. Kyle Farmer and Christian Colon should continue to fill in at the keystone for Cincinnati.

Riley is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader in Philadelpha.

Riley will head to the bench for the second time in the past three games, but he may rejoin the lineup for Game 2. Johan Camargo will start at the hot corner in the matinee.
