Moustakas (quadriceps) won't return to the lineup before Tuesday's game against the Royals, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Moustakas left last Tuesday's game against Cleveland with a bruised left quadriceps and hasn't played since. Manager David Bell said Friday that he's considered out, rather than day-to-day, so he's unlikely to appear at any point in the weekend series against the Brewers.

Moustakas (quadriceps) is out of the lineup Friday against the Brewers.

Moustakas won't be in the lineup for the series opener against his former team as he continues to manage a left quad bruise from earlier in the week. Christian Colon take over at second base Friday for the Reds.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a triple and three RBI in Thursday's win over the Orioles.

Anderson plated two runs with a single in the bottom of the third inning, and he later drove in another run with a triple in the seventh. Anderson has been one of Miami's biggest offensive threats to start the season, and he has reached base in all eight games he's played so far.

Riley isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Riley has largely struggled to begin the year as he's slashing just .129/.222/.355 with two home runs, six RBI and 13 strikeouts. He'll get a routine day off Thursday with Johan Camargo starting at third base and batting seventh.

Vargas was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Vargas is 3-for-20 with five strikeouts through eight appearances this season, so it isn't overly surprising to see him cast off Arizona's roster with teams needing to trim from 30 to 28 active players. The 29-year-old hit .269/.299/.413 across 92 games last season and could draw interest on waivers as a utility option.

Segura is not starting Thursday against the Yankees, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura will sit for the first time all season as Neil Walker picks up a start at third base in his stead. Through six games this season, Segura is 4-for-22 with four runs scored.

Moustakas (quad) is not in the starting lineup Thursday against the Indians.

Moustakas will remain sidelined for a second straight game as he continues to nurse a bruised left quad. Kyle Farmer is starting at second base in this one, while Moustakas should be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's series opener against the Brewers.

Anderson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

The 27-year-old then followed it up with an RBI single in the second game -- with both hits proving to be game-winners in a couple of narrow victories. Anderson has had a solid start to 2020 despite the Marlins' COVID-19 woes, going 5-for-19 through six games with two homers and five RBI.

Newman is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

Newman will take a seat for the second time in three days, opening up a spot at shortstop for JT Riddle. The 27-year-old Newman went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 5-2 loss, spelling an end to a three-game hitting streak.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Giants.

Make it three consecutive games with a home run for Arenado after he went eight straight games without an extra-base hit to begin the season. Arenado's track record is virtually unrivaled among his peers and the numbers will only get better with more home cooking at Coors Field.
