Longoria (foot) was spotted on the field Monday taking part in fielding drills, the Associated Press reports.

Longoria, who is recovering from a bout of plantar fasciitis in his left foot, also played catch as part of the workout. The Giants remain vague on a target return date for Longoria, though the veteran third baseman is hopeful he'll be ready to come off the 10-day injured list by late July or early August.

Rivera went 1-for-3 in Monday's loss to the White Sox.

With Miguel Rojas (shoulder) and JT Riddle (forearm) both sidelined, Rivera is all the Marlins have left at shortstop, and the 27-year-old has gone 1-for-7 while starting the last two games. Rojas may not be out for long, but until he's cleared to return, Rivera and his .478 career OPS will remain in the lineup.

Escobar started at second base and went 2-for-4 with a walk, two triples, an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Orioles.

Escobar has tripled three times in the last four games, giving him nine for the season, tied for most in MLB with Whit Merrifield and Adalberto Mondesi. He's been getting regular duty at second base lately despite the return of Wilmer Flores, who will see action whenever a left-hander is on the mound. Monday's start was Escobar's 12th at the keystone.

Suarez went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in a 6-5 win over the Brewers on Monday.

Suarez hit a two-run home run on the first pitch in his fourth at-bat and played hero with another two-run blast in the ninth inning that put the Reds ahead for good. Suarez continues to mash in July, posting a .263/.343/.684 slash line with nine home runs.

Senzel (hamstring) is back in action Monday against the Brewers.

Senzel has been out of the lineup for three straight games but appeared off the bench in both games over the weekend. He'll return to center field and bat leadoff Monday.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's victory over Washington.

Donaldson swatted a 432-foot home run to left field in the sixth inning, then singled in another run in the seventh. The impressive outing continued Donaldson's productive July in which he has compiled a 1.221 OPS along with eight homers and 18 runs batted in. After a pair of injury-plagued seasons, the 33-year-old has enjoyed a resurgent 2019, slashing .256/.374/.521 with 23 homers and 58 RBI in 340 at-bats.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk during Sunday's 9-0 win over the Marlins.

Muncy gave his club an early lead with a two-run home run to left center in the first inning. He later walked and scored a run, giving him his fourth multi-run effort in the last six games. Muncy also has three home runs to go along with six RBI during that span. The Dodgers head into their next series at home against the Angels.

Segura was removed from Sunday's contest against the Pirates with heel soreness, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

The injury was likely an aggravation of the heel injury Segura suffered July 15. He was forced to miss two games prior to returning for the team's series finale Thursday against the Dodgers. Scott Kingery shifted to shortstop to replace Segura while Nick Williams entered the game to play left field.

Riley is not in the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

Riley has now been relegated to the bench in two of the team's last four games thanks to the return of Ender Inciarte. However, Riley hasn't helped his cause by hitting just .170/.224/.302 across 58 plate appearances in July. Inciarte is starting in Riley's place, manning center field and batting eighth.

Senzel (hamstring) is available off the bench Sunday against the Cardinals, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Senzel remains out of the starting lineup Sunday but will be available off the bench for the second consecutive contest. Manager David Bell indicated that he was playing it safe by not starting Senzel, meaning he could be close to a return to the lineup.
