Segura (lower leg) is starting at shortstop and batting second Tuesday against the Giants.

Segura suffered a bruised right shin during Sunday's matchup, but he benefitted from a scheduled off day Monday and will be right back in the mix for the series opener. He's slashing .281/.323/.444 with 11 homers and 44 RBI over 93 games this season with Philadelphia.

Arenado went 2-for-5 with two runs and two RBI in Monday's 9-1 win over the Dodgers.

Arenado plated two of the Rockies' five fifth-inning runs, with that outburst effectively salting the game away for the home squad. As has been the case throughout his career, Arenado has taken full advantage of playing half of his games at high altitude this season, submitting a .354/.412/.594 slash line across his 216 plate appearances in Colorado.

Suarez (back) will bat third and play third base Tuesday against the Pirates.

Suarez left Monday's game with back tightness, but the issue evidently wasn't a particularly serious one. He won't wind up missing a single start and will look to build on his .305/.377/.763 slash line through the first 17 games of the second half.

Machado went 3-for-4 with a triple and two runs Monday in the Padres' 8-1 win over the Orioles.

After flying out to right field in his first at-bat, Machado tormented his former team for the rest of the night en route to delivering his third three-hit performance of July. The 27-year-old's slow start to his tenure with the Padres looks to be a distant memory at this point, as he's slashing a magnificent .291/.356/.561 with 21 home runs, 54 RBI and 47 runs in 74 games since the beginning of May. With only three stolen bases in four attempts, however, Machado has toned down his involvement in the run game after nabbing 14 steals between his time with the Orioles and Dodgers in 2018.

Rendon went 2-for-5 with a grand slam in Monday's 6-3 win over Atanta.

His sixth-inning blast off Chad Sobotka broke open a 2-2 contest. Rendon is now slashing a blistering .379/.481/.636 through 17 games since the All-Star break with three homers and 18 RBI, and he's already reached 80 RBI for the fourth straight season.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 11-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

He's now gone yard in two straight games, extending his modest hitting streak to six games and giving him 15 homers on the year. Anderson's only slashing .231/.265/.508 in 16 games since the All-Star break, but he still has time to turn around what has been a fairly underwhelming sophomore campaign to date.

Suarez left Monday's game against the Pirates due to back tightness, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

This was a precautionary move by the Reds, who wanted to make sure that Suarez was ready to go for Tuesday's clash. He'll be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Senzel will sit Monday against the Pirates.

Senzel sits for the second time in four games, though his absence Monday seems to be a routine one, as there hasn't been any indication that the dizziness which kept him out of action Friday remains a problem. Jesse Winker will slide over to center field in his absence, with Josh VanMeter starting in left.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.

The 26-year-old has swooned in July, slashing .200/.246/.431 through 21 games, but Anderson now has 14 homers on the year, extending his career high. Barring an unexpected influx of MLB-ready talent at the trade deadline, he figures to continue drawing regular at-bats for the Marlins in the second half and hitting somewhere in the middle of an underpowered lineup.

Rendon went 3-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.

He didn't flash any power, but Rendon still featured prominently in the Nats' 11-run attack. The third baseman is now slashing .333/.424/.548 through 22 games in July with three homers, 11 runs and 18 RBI.
