McMahon went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Astros.

After posting a lackluster .244/.299/.333 slash line in June, McMahon came through with a big night to begin July. The 24-year-old continues to maintain a shaky grip on the starting second base spot for the Rockies, and more performances like this would go a long way toward improving his job security in the second half.

Suarez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Brewers.

Suarez took Chase Anderson deep in the first inning to record his 20th homer of the season. He's now homered in three consecutive games, also driving in nine in that span. While he had a slow month of June by going yard only twice, Suarez appears to be back in a groove at the dish heading into the All-Star break.

Moustakas went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Reds.

Moustakas took Tanner Roark deep in the sixth inning to record his 24th home run of the season. With three homers in his last 11 games, Moustakas has shown no signs of slowing down at the plate. He's pacing toward surpassing his previous career-best 38 long balls, and also has maintained a .569 slugging percentage across 338 plate appearances.

Davis went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and two RBI on Tuesday against the Yankees.

Davis drew the start in left field with southpaw James Paxton on the mound and he delivered his ninth home run of the season in the sixth inning. He played a vital role in the Mets' victory, also doubling in the tying run in the eighth frame. Despite a solid .283/.346/.475 line across 217 plate appearances, Davis has started only twice since June 24.

Anderson was pulled from Tuesday's game at Washington due to a right elbow contusion.

Anderson appeared to sustain the injury when he collided with the wall in right-center field on Juan Soto's first-inning homer. For now the 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day.

Machado will not take part in Tuesday's game against the Giants as he'll be serving a one-game suspension for an incident with an umpire back in mid-June, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Machado was ejected for arguing balls and strikes back on June 16 and was hit with a one-game ban. He appealed the suspension at the time, but the punishment was eventually upheld. Greg Garcia will likely fill in at third base in Machado's absence.

Baty went 1-for-5 with a grand slam for the GCL Mets on Monday.

The 12th overall pick in this year's draft has gotten his professional career off to a flying start, hitting safely in his first five games -- and while Monday's homer was his first, he's also ripped three doubles among his seven hits. Baty's 5:6 BB:K is also strong, and the 19-year-old may not be long for the Gulf Coast League, with a promotion to a more advanced rookie league or even short-season Low-A likely in his immediate future if he keeps raking.

Longoria went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, two RBI and three runs scored to help the Giants to a 13-2 rout of the Padres on Monday.

It's been a tough season at the dish for the veteran third baseman, but he posted a big day in this blowout victory, checking in with his eighth homer of the season in the seventh inning off Phil Maton. It was the first multi-hit game since June 11 for Longoria, who is slashing just .226/.305/.389 through 277 plate appearances.

Suarez went 3-for-4 with two homers and four RBI in Monday's 8-6 loss to Milwaukee.

Suarez is heating up again, knocking three homers and seven RBI over the last two contests. He's also collected three straight multi-hit games. The slugging third baseman is up to 19 long balls and 52 RBI.

Newman is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Newman went 0-for-4 at Milwaukee on Sunday to snap the 19-game hit streak in which he had a 1.040 OPS with four home runs and four stolen bases. The 25-year-old has a .327/.372/.482 slash line through 56 games in his first full season in the majors.
