Machado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 2-1 loss against the Pirates on Friday.

Only two Padres hitters reached base twice Friday, and Machado was one of them. He's also on a nine-game hitting streak, and during that stretch, Machado has five home runs and 10 RBI. He is batting .271 with 15 home runs, 43 RBI, 44 runs and one steal in 277 at-bats this season.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Dodgers.

A toe injury didn't cost Arenado any games, and the third baseman proved he's good to go with a fourth-inning blast off Walker Buehler. Arenado has hit .333 with two homers, four RBI and seven runs scored in his last six games. The 28-year-old has 19 homers and 61 RBI in 74 games this season.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a walk in Friday's 4-2 win over the Rockies.

He opened the scoring in the second inning by coming home on Chris Taylor's sacrifice fly, and then scored again on Matt Beaty's walkoff homer. Muncy has been nursing a bruised ankle this week, but he's now hit safely in his last nine games, swatting four homers and adding eight RBI and eight runs in that span.

Senzel exited Friday's game against the Brewers due to a headache, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Senzel was pulled from the contest in the fourth inning, and it was later revealed that he left with a headache. The Reds are likely exercising caution with the young center fielder, who's dealt with vertigo in the past.

Longoria will head to the bench for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Longoria is in line for a breather after starting five straight games at the hot corner. Pablo Sandoval draws the nod at third base and will bat third with Longoria on the bench.

Muncy (ankle) is starting at second base and batting fifth Friday night against the Rockies, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Muncy has been nursing a bruised ankle, but it's evidently not serious enough to cause an extended absence. He's currently in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak, going 10-for-28 with four homers and eight RBI over that stretch.

Arenado (toe) is starting at third base and batting third Friday against the Dodgers.

Arenado was forced to leave Thursday's matchup with a bruised left big toe, but it won't cause him to miss any additional time. He's batting .308 with a home run and three RBI over his last seven contests.

Donaldson won his appeal and will not be suspended for his part in a benches-clearing brawl against the Pirates back on June 10, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Donaldson had been suspended for one game for his part in the altercation but will now not miss any time. He also saw his fine reduced to $1,000.

Muncy was diagnosed with a bruised ankle after X-rays came back negative Thursday, Pedro Moura of The Athletic reports.

Muncy fouled a ball off his ankle during the sixth inning Thursday and exited the game a couple frames later. The 28-year-old appears to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day.

Senzel went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a walk during Thursday's 7-1 win over the Brewers.

Senzel picked up an RBI on a bases-loaded walk in the first inning and later added a two-run home run in the seventh. He has been quite productive of late, totaling nine RBI, three home runs and five runs scored over his last eight games. Senzel seems to be reacting positively to his move to fifth in the order.
