Segura went 1-for-4 with a walk, home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Orioles.

Segura hit a go-ahead solo home run in the eighth inning, giving the Phillies a 6-5 lead. It was his second home run of the season, and second in as many games. Segura has yet to really get going at the plate, as he's hitting just .194/.341/.361 in 44 plate appearances this season. Still he's chipped in eight runs scored and a stolen base, so he has found ways to be productive.

Moustakas (quadriceps) has yet to run or face live pitching as of Tuesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Moustakas has been out for a week with a bruised quadriceps, though he previously hoped to be able to return Tuesday. He's since been placed on the injured list, as he's behind that more optimistic schedule, but he expects to be able to return when first eligible Sunday.

Senzel (groin) is back in the lineup as expected Tuesday against the Royals, leading off and playing center field.

Senzel left Friday's game against the Brewers with a tight left groin and sat out both of the Reds' weekend games. He's hit a respectable .233/.314/.467 through 10 games this season.

Arenado went 4-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 12-8 loss to Arizona.

Arenado was perfect at the dish, collecting four hits and an RBI sacrifice fly in his five plate appearances. The 29-year-old third baseman has struggled so far this season and Monday's performance was just his second multi-hit game of 2020. He's batting just .241 with four extra-base hits.

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.
