Rendon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Phillies.

The blast was his second in three games and eighth of the year. Rendon's hit safely in seven straight games and eight of nine, boosting his slash line to .286/.357/.490, and even after missing 19 games earlier in the year with a toe injury, the 28-year-old is still nearly on pace for his third straight 20-homer campaign.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Mets.

Muncy was just 2-for-his-last-18 coming into Saturday, so it was nice to see him touch them all against one of the game's best starting pitchers in Jacob deGrom. His .982 OPS in 53 games is hard to fathom for a player who had just a .565 mark in 2016 and did not even play in the majors last year, but the batted-ball numbers suggest what he's doing is pretty real. Muncy is locked into a near-everyday role at first base and he continues to bat second against right-handers.

Suarez went 3-for-4 with a triple, RBI and run scored Saturday against the Cubs.

Suarez continued his hot stretch at the plate, recording his second consecutive game with three hits. During his current 13-game hitting streak, he has five home runs, nine runs scored and 13 RBI. As a result, he leads the National league in RBI and slugging percentage, while also ranking among the league leaders in batting average and home runs.

Senzel will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn tendon in his right index finger.

Senzel suffered the injury during Friday's game with Triple-A Louisville. He is expected to be fully recovered by spring training, with a chance that he will be back in action for the Arizona Fall League or winter ball if the organization elects to go that route. Across 44 games with the Bats, the infielder hit .310/.378/.509 with six home runs, 25 RBI and eight stolen bases. This is obviously an unfortunate setback for the Reds' top prospect, especially since he was likely to receive a big-league call-up later on this summer.

Arenado went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run to help the Rockies to an 11-3 victory over the Marlins on Friday.

Arenado continued his recent ridiculous tear in the opening game of this series against the Marlins, blasting his 17th long ball of the year in the fourth inning off Wei-Yin Chen to mark his fourth straight game with a homer. He now has 10 hits in his last 17 at-bats to go along with the four homers and 11 RBI, bringing his slash line up to a potent .323/.410/.598 through 266 at-bats on the season.

Suarez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-3 win over the Cubs.

He continues to swing a hot bat, extending his hitting streak to 12 games with Friday's performance -- a streak that features five homers and 12 RBI to go along with a .341 (15-for-44) batting average. Suarez now has 16 home runs on the season, and his .975 OPS is nearly 150 points better than last year's career high.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a two-run double in a 6-4 win over the Mets on Thursday.

Arenado launched his 16th long ball of the season in the first inning before doubling in the second, providing the Rockies all the offense they'd need to pick up the victory. The 27-year-old slugger is absolutely mashing over the last three games, hitting .538 (7-for-13) with three home runs and nine RBI. On the year, Arenado is slashing .317/.403/.584 with 51 RBI along with the 16 home runs.

McMahon was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

The Rockies need a fresh bullpen arm after sending out six relievers in Wednesday's 10-8 win over the Mets, so McMahon will swap places with right-hander Yency Almonte. The Rockies are set to face a string of left-handed pitchers, so the move will allow McMahon to see consistent at-bats with the Isotopes. He's hitting just .211/.283/.337 through 47 games with the big club this season.

Kieboom was promoted to Double-A Harrisburg on Thursday, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

Kieboom continued to exceed expectations at the High-A level, slashing .298/.386/.494 with 11 home runs, 46 RBI and six stolen bases for Potomac in 61 games this season. The infielder will likely spend the remainder of the 2018 campaign learning the ropes at Harrisburg. Though he's a fine defender at shortstop, Kieboom's eventual home in the majors may wind up being second or third base.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Giants.

Anderson came through with an RBI single in the ninth inning as the Marlins mounted a late rally, but he was left stranded on second as the tying run to end the game. The 25-year-old is hitting .333 in June and leads the Marlins in both RBI (36) and runs scored (41).
