Anderson went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI and a walk in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.

Anderson drove home a run in the sixth inning on a double to left field, and he extended Miami's lead to two in the top of the eighth with a solo blast. The 26-year-old now sits with nine home runs, 32 RBI and four stolen bases through 72 games this season.

Segura went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Nationals.

Segura took Matt Grace deep in the fifth inning to record his seventh homer of the season. He was dropped to fifth in the order for Thursday's contest -- the lowest in the lineup he's appeared all season -- and responded with his second home run of June. He's now hitting .269/.320/.435 across 282 plate appearances for the season.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with a walk, double, solo home run and two runs scored Thursday against the Phillies.

Rendon continued his impressive power surge, recording his 20th double in the first inning and ultimately coming around to score. He wasn't done, however, as he took Nick Pivetta deep in the sixth frame to record his 17th homer of the season. He has now homered six times in his last 10 games and is hitting .314/.407/.655 across 258 plate appearances.

Arenado left Thursday's game against Arizona due to a left big toe bruise.

This is positive news for Arenado, who looks to have a chance to get back into the starting lineup for Friday's series opener with the Dodgers. He'll likely be re-evaluated when he shows up to the ballpark Friday morning.

Arenado left Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks in the ninth inning with a foot injury, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

Arenado appeared to suffer the injury after fouling a ball off his foot, though the Rockies stated that he was removed for precautionary reasons. He'll be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Moustakas (hand) is starting at second base and hitting cleanup Thursday against the Reds.

Moustakas wound up missing just one start due to a left hand contusion he suffered earlier in the week after getting hit by a pitch. The veteran infielder, who is slashing .321/.429/.679 with six homers, nine RBI and a 7:6 BB:K through 15 games this month, will face righty Tanner Roark in his return to the starting lineup.

Segura is starting at shortstop and hitting fifth Thursday against the Nationals, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Segura has hit exclusively in the top third of Philadelphia's order all season, but a slow start to June (.175/.243/.317 slash line through 16 games) has prompted the Phillies to shift him to the fifth spot in the order. Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins and Jay Bruce are occupying the first three spots in the order against righty Erick Fedde on Thursday.

Escobar has gone 5-for-30 with one extra-base hit (a double), four RBI and four runs over his last eight games.

After a monstrous four-hit, two-homer performance in Philadelphia on June 10, Escobar has seen his bat go quiet over the final six games of the Diamondbacks' road trip. A return to Chase Field hasn't helped Escobar get back on track, as he went hitless in the first two games of the series. He'll remain in the lineup as the No. 5 hitter for the series finale Thursday but could be in line for a maintenance day at some point this weekend in light of his recent struggles.

Hayes (finger) is expected to resume light baseball activities within the next few days, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Hayes has been stuck on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Indianapolis since June 12 after fracturing his left index finger. The third-base prospect is likely at least a few weeks away from returning to action for Indianapolis, but his ability to resume light activities should help his efforts to stay conditioned while he waits for the finger to fully heal.

Donaldson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Wednesday against the Mets.

Donaldson took Steven Matz deep in the sixth inning, his sixth home run in his past nine contests. He now has 14 homers on the season and is riding a nine-game hitting streak, which has included four multi-hit performances. After a slow start to the season, Donaldson has a .260/.365/.492 line across 296 plate appearances.
