    Brewers' Mike Moustakas: Unlikely to play Tuesday

    X-rays on Moustakas' left wrist came back negative, though he's unlikely to play Tuesday against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Moustakas took a grounder off his wrist in the field during Monday night's matchup, though he appears to have avoided a significant injury. Even so, the Brewers are expected to hold him out of Tuesday's matchup as a precaution.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: New career high in homers

    Suarez went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday in the Reds' 9-8 loss to the Pirates.

    Before taking Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez deep in the ninth inning, Suarez had managed only three hits and struck out 14 times in his last 26 at-bats. Suarez's elevated 28.3 percent strikeout rate has resulted in a nearly 30-point drop in his batting average from 2018, but the third baseman hasn't sacrificed anything in the power department. The home run was his 35th of the season, establishing a new career high in the category.

    Senzel (thumb) is back in the lineup Monday against Miami.

    Senzel sat for two straight games due to a sore thumb, though he did appear off the bench in Sunday's contest. He'll bat eighth and serve as the center fielder Monday.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Advances rehab to Triple-A

    Riley (knee) advanced his rehab to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

    Riley has been out with a knee sprain since early August. He's played three rehab games thus far, all with Low-A Rome, going 2-for-10 at the plate. He appears to be on track to return to Atlanta once rosters expand at the start of September.

  • Kyle Farmer 3B | ATL

    Reds' Kyle Farmer: Hits eighth homer

    Farmer went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a 9-8 loss against the Pirates on Sunday.

  • Kevin Newman 3B | LAA

    Pirates' Kevin Newman: Scores three times in win

    Newman went 4-for-4 with a double, RBI, two steals and three runs in a 9-8 victory against the Reds on Sunday.

    His third four-hit day of the season pushed his average back above .300. Average is where he excels the most, but Newman is an all-around solid contributor. He has 25 extra-base hits, including seven home runs, 44 RBI, 40 runs and 13 steals in 374 at-bats this season.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Homers, doubles in loss

    Arenado went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-4 loss to the Cardinals.

    Arenado's fifth-inning homer was his 11th of August, giving him 33 for 2019. It also lifted him to the 100-RBI mark for the fifth straight season. The 28-year-old remains one of the best names in fantasy baseball.
