Muncy went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.

Make it four straight games with a home run, as he took starter Bartolo Colon deep for a solo shot in the third inning. The 27-year-old has cranked 13 home runs in just 130 at-bats and figures to continue being a solid source of run production in a suddenly awakened Dodgers lineup.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, three runs scored and two RBI in Monday's win over the Giants.

It was only his fourth homer of the year but second in the last seven games, and Anderson now boasts a massive .436/.488/.769 slash line through 10 contests in June with six runs and eight RBI. The 25-year-old is blossoming into a genuine offensive threat for the Marlins.

Kieboom went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a stolen base for High-A Potomac in Sunday's win over Lynchburg.

The Nats' No. 3 fantasy prospect has been on a tear lately, hitting safely in nine of his last 10 games with a .351 (13-for-37) batting average, four homers, two steals, 12 runs and 14 RBI. Kieboom now has a .296/.386/.491 slash line through 56 games at High-A with 10 home runs, six stolen bases and a strong 34:48 BB:K, and the 20-year-old seems headed for a promotion to Double-A before the summer is over.

Muncy went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks, a solo home run and two RBI in the Dodgers' 7-2 victory over the Braves on Sunday.

Muncy continued his recent barrage of long balls with a fifth-inning solo blast off Sean Newcomb, giving him three homers in his last three games and five in his last eight. The recent surge has pushed his slash line up to .259/.374/.569 through 116 at-bats, so the Dodgers pretty much have to keep his bat in the lineup for however long he continues to rake like this.

Senzel went 4-for-6 Saturday for Triple-A Louisville, scoring twice, knocking in a run, and stealing a base, MiLB.com reports.

After a slow start and a lengthy injury absence, Senzel has rallied to post a .276/.361/.441 line at Louisville, albeit with only three homers in 127 at-bats so far. Senzel hasn't yet hit for much power as a professional, though his 10 homers in 57 games at Double-A Pensacola last summer teased at that ability.

Muncy went 1-for-1 with a solo home run and three walks in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Braves.

Muncy has been red-hot at the plate of late, developing a modest six-game hit streak with four homers and seven RBI. The 27-year-old has been starting at the hot corner over the past couple of contests, but he should stick in the starting lineup even with Justin Turner (wrist) expected to return Sunday. A lineup configuration where Muncy moves back to first base and Cody Bellinger slots in at center against right-handed starters is the likely scenario. The slugger is slashing .268/.385/.593 over 148 plate appearances with the Dodgers this year, making him a viable power option in almost any format.

Longoria went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to Washington.

Longoria was given an extended break, sitting out Friday following the team's off day Thursday. The veteran third baseman responded with a pair of base knocks, nudging his batting average up to .247 on the year. While that number won't excite his fantasy owners, Longoria has provided some thump this year with 10 homers and a .205 isolated power mark.

LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

LeMahieu took Matt Koch deep in the sixth inning for his sixth home run of the season. It was his first since coming off the disabled list June 1 and was also his first home run at Coors Field for the season. Surprisingly, he has posted a .588 slugging percentage on the road as opposed to just a .337 mark at home.

Rendon went 1-for-4 with a run scored, one walk and two RBI Saturday against the Giants.

Rendon drove in a run during the first inning, and he hit into a fielder's choice in the second to plate another. Over his last three games, Rendon has gone 6-for-13 with two doubles and five RBI. Rendon is in great position to compile RBI as Washington's starting third baseman and regular No. 3 hitter.

Riley was placed on the minor-league disabled list due to a sprain of his posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Riley is expected to miss a couple more weeks after suffering the injury diving for a groundball against Louisville on June 3. The third baseman is expected to join the Braves later on this summer, though this issue could complicate his arrival if he doesn't progress according to plan. Through 26 games for Gwinnett in 2018, Riley is hitting .284 with a .776 OPS.
