Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Situated on bench
McMahon isn't in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Giants.

Giants' Evan Longoria: Out for more than minimum
Longoria will miss more than 10 days with a strained plantar fascia in his left foot, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The Giants were originally optimistic that Longoria could be back in action Monday, but an MRI revealed a strain which will keep him out for some time. Pablo Sandoval will act as the primary option at third base while Longoria is sidelined.

Giants' Evan Longoria: Placed on injured list
Longoria was placed on the 10-day injured list with plantar fasciitis on Monday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Longoria left Sunday's game against the Brewers with the injury. The Giants were initially optimistic that he'd return after a brief absence, but that optimism was evidently premature. Ray Black was recalled in a corresponding move, with Pablo Sandoval expected to take over as the primary third baseman for the time being.

Giants' Evan Longoria: Sitting for first game
Longoria (foot) is not starting the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Rockies.
The rest was expected after Longoria left Sunday's game against the Brewers due to plantar fasciitis. The Giants were reportedly optimistic at the time that Longoria could start in Monday's nightcap, which remains a possibility. Pablo Sandoval fills in at the hot corner in the meantime.

Giants' Evan Longoria: Battling plantar fasciitis
Longoria (foot) is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot, though manager Bruce Bochy is optimistic he'll be ready to play in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Longoria was forced to exit Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee, but the hope is that the issue won't cause him to miss much time. The Giants should have a better idea on his availability following the first half of Monday's twin bill.

Giants' Evan Longoria: Leaves with foot issue
Longoria exited Sunday's game against the Brewers with left foot discomfort, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Longoria was lifted for a pinch hitter during the fifth inning, but there was no clear indication he was otherwise dealing with an injury. The severity of the injury remains unclear, though it's poor timing regardless since the Giants have a doubleheader Monday in Colorado.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Takes seat Sunday
Arenado is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Arenado went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's marathon 17-9 loss, and he'll take the day off for the series finale. Ryan McMahon will start at the hot corner in his place while Garrett Hampson takes over at the keystone.

Jean Segura 3B | CLE
Phillies' Jean Segura: Solidified as No. 2 hitter
Segura will bat second and start at shortstop Sunday against the Nationals, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.
Though he's gone hitless through the first two games of the series, Segura looks locked into the second spot in the lineup at this point. He'll be making his 16th consecutive start out of that position and is slashing .284/.331/.433 with five steals and seven home runs over 268 at-bats as the No. 2 hitter this season.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Drills two-run homer
Arenado went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 17-9 loss to the Reds.
Arenado's first-inning two-run shot off Tanner Roark ended an eight-game homer drought, during which the All-Star went 6-for-29. The recent offensive lull is probably nothing for fantasy managers to be concerned about, especially with five more games on tap during the Rockies' homestand to open the second half.
