Senzel (hamstring) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Senzel was used as a pinch runner Saturday and remained in the game to play defense, but he is apparently not ready to play all nine innings yet. Jesse Winker will start in center field while leading off.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

His eighth-inning blast off Andrew Chafin gave the Brewers their first lead of the game and proved to be the game-winning hit. Moustakas extended his hit streak to 10 games in the process, and the veteran slugger is slashing .308/.386/.615 over that stretch with two homers, seven RBI and eight runs.

Senzel (hamstring) is available off the bench Saturday against the Cardinals, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Senzel will sit for the third straight game after leaving Wednesday's contest with a hamstring strain. He's expected to be back in the lineup Sunday.

Senzel (hamstring) remains on the bench Saturday against St. Louis.

Senzel hasn't played since leaving Wednesday's game against the Cubs with a hamstring injury. The Reds didn't expect him to require a trip to the injured list at the time, but he's now sitting for the third straight contest. Jesse Winker will again slide to center field, with Josh VanMeter starting in left.

Longoria worked out on the field Saturday with a boot on his injured left foot, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria has been out nearly a week with plantar fasciitis. He said Tuesday that he was hoping to return in two weeks, though the Giants have yet to provide a specific timeline for his return.

Davis will start in left field and bat seventh Saturday against the Giants, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Davis will make his fourth start in five games, including his third in left field over that stretch. His inclusion in the lineup Saturday may have at least partially been a byproduct of Dominic Smith botching an easy pop fly in the outfield in Friday's contest that allowed the Giants to score the game's only run. Davis won't provide much of a defensive upgrade in the outfield, but he's at least been capable at the plate when called upon this season, delivering a .280/.343/.454 slash line across 239 plate appearances.

Sosa was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Sosa was up for just four days. He made three appearances off the bench, going 1-for-3 at the plate. Reliever Ryan Helsley was recalled in a corresponding move.

Donaldson went 1-for-3 with two walks and an RBI in Friday's 4-3 win over the Nationals.

Donaldson came up clutch in the ninth inning for his first walkoff hit since 2015, as he drove in Ronald Acuna on a bases-loaded single to cap the Braves' come-from-behind triumph. The veteran has been on fire to begin the second half, slashing .320/.500/.800 with four home runs, 11 RBI, eight runs and a stolen base in eight contests.

Escobar went 2-for-5 with a home run, a triple and two RBI in Friday's 10-7 victory over the Brewers.

Escobar swatted a game-tying RBI triple in the third inning off Jhoulys Chacin, then launched a solo homer off Jay Jackson in the fourth inning to extend the Diamondbacks' lead to 8-4. The 30-year-old has been a key component in Arizona's lineup this season, slashing .291/.344/.554 with 22 home runs, 77 RBI and 63 runs scored.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Yankees.

McMahon delivered a solo blast to center field to get the Rockies on the board in the first inning, but the Yankees would take the lead in the third and never looked back. The 24-year-old has now left the yard in back-to-back contests, and he sits with 10 homers through 79 games this season.
