Manager Bruce Bochy said Longoria (foot) could rejoin the Giants in 10-14 days, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The Giants previously indicated Longoria could be activated during the current road trip -- which runs through Aug. 4 -- but that no longer appears to be the case. The veteran third baseman moved to the injured list in mid-July with a strained plantar fascia in his left foot, and he only just began a running program Saturday. Pablo Sandoval will continue to see the bulk of starts at third base.

Riley is not in the lineup Saturday against the Phillies.

Riley is hitting just .169 with a 41.5 percent strikeout rate this month (18 games), so he'll head to the bench for the third time in as many games as Ender Inciarte picks up another start in the outfield in his stead.

Senzel (dizziness) is starting at home against the Rockies on Saturday and batting sixth.

The 24-year-old returns to the Reds' lineup after experiencing dizziness and being removed from Wednesday's game against the Brewers. Since the All-Star break, he's recorded a slash line of .361/.439/.528 with one steal in 11 games.

Segura went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Braves.

Segura suffered a heel injury during Sunday's clash, and he was forced to miss two games as a result, but he was able to rejoin the starting nine for the series opener. He later proved his health by smashing a solo homer to left in the seventh inning. The 29-year-old shortstop has pieced together a .277/.321/.440 slash line with 11 homers and 44 RBI over 91 contests in 2019.

Newman is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets, Nubyjas Wilborn of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Newman started the last four contests but makes his way to the bench Friday after going 3-for-18 in that stretch. Jung Ho Kang will start at shortstop and bat seventh for the Pirates.

Riley is not in the lineup for Friday's game at Philadelphia.

Riley is on the bench for the second straight contest and for the fourth time in the last seven games. The Braves undoubtedly want to get the young slugger back on track -- he's hitting .172 with a 41.3 percent strikeout rate in July -- but Ender Inciate will start again in the outfield Friday.

Segura (heel) is starting at shortstop and batting second Friday versus the Braves.

Segura was held out of the lineup the last two games after exiting Sunday's contest with heel soreness, but he's ready to go for Friday's series opener. The 29-year-old is off to a slow start in the second half with a .515 OPS in 32 at-bats.

Senzel (illness) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

Senzel was removed from Wednesday's game versus the Brewers after experiencing dizziness during his first at-bat. The 24-year-old has battled vertigo throughout his career, so it's not a major surprise to see him receive some additional time off. Josh VanMeter, Jesse Winker and Yasiel Puig will start in the outfield from left to right for the Reds. According to Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Senzel felt a bit better Friday morning and may be available off the bench.

Rendon went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk Thursday against the the Rockies.

Rendon made his lone hit of the day count, as he took Jeff Hoffman deep in fifth inning for his 22nd homer of the campaign. He's continued his performance at the plate, smacking 10 extra-base hits in his last 11 games. For the season, he has an exceptional .314/.398/.613 line across 384 plate appearances.

McMahon went 2-for-3 with a home run, walk, three RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Nationals.

McMahon had a big day at the dish, highlighted by a two-run home run in the sixth inning. It was his 11th of the season -- his fourth on the road -- and fourth since July 14. After posting just a .632 OPS in June, McMahon is back on track in July, scoring 10 runs, driving in 13 and swiping two bases to go along with his power production. This season, McMahon is hitting .265/.334/.442 across 314 plate appearances.
