Nick Senzel 3B | LAD
Reds' Nick Senzel: Out until Tuesday
Senzel (groin) isn't expected to return to the lineup before Tuesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Senzel left Friday's game against the Brewers with a tight left groin, and it now appears as though he'll be out for the entirety of the weekend series. He should receive at least three full days of rest as the Reds have an off day scheduled for Monday. Travis Jankowski replaced him in center field Friday, though it will be Phillip Ervin who starts in his place Saturday.

Reds' Nick Senzel: Sitting Saturday
Senzel (groin) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.
Senzel left Friday's contest with a tight left groin and will sit for at least one game. It's not clear how much time he's expected to miss, but with an off day coming up Monday, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him sit Sunday as well in order to get three straight days of rest. Phillip Ervin starts in center field in his absence.

Max Muncy 3B | LAD
Dodgers' Max Muncy: Cranks fourth homer
Muncy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's win over the Giants.
Muncy extended the Dodgers' lead with a solo homer against Jeff Samardzija to start off the fourth inning. Interestingly enough, three of his four team-leading long balls this season have come against the Giants. The 29-year-old entered Friday's game in a bit of a slump, going just 1-for-18 over the last five games. Overall, he's batting .182/.328/.436.

Senzel exited Friday's game against the Brewers with left groin tightness.

Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW
Reds' Mike Moustakas: Out until Tuesday
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.

Brian Anderson RF | ATL
Marlins' Brian Anderson: Plates three runs
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.

Austin Riley 3B | ATL
Braves' Austin Riley: Sitting out Thursday
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.

Ildemaro Vargas 1B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ildemaro Vargas: Designated for assignment
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.

Jean Segura 3B | CLE
Phillies' Jean Segura: Gets breather
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.
