Anderson exited in the top of the eighth inning of Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Braves due to a sore middle finger on his right hand, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports. He finished the day 1-for-3 with his 10th double of the season.

Anderson relayed afterwards that he hurt the finger while flying out in the bottom of the sixth inning, but he remained in the game defensively for another inning before giving way to J.B. Shuck. X-rays after the contest came back negative for Anderson, so he'll hopeful that the soreness will subside enough for him to return to the lineup for Miami's next game Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Rendon is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

Following his return from a toe injury May 5, Rendon started in each of the Nationals' eight contest, going 7-for-29 (.241 average) with a pair of home runs and six RBI. Rendon will just be getting a maintenance day for Sunday's series finale, opening up third base for Wilmer Difo.

Anderson (undisclosed) was removed from Sunday's game against the Braves prior to the eighth inning, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Anderson was 1-for-3 with a double before being replaced in the outfield prior to the eighth inning. The reason for his early departure hasn't been announced, but Frisaro notes that Anderson has been sporting a wrap on his left hand after games recently.

Farmer is out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Farmer is on the bench for the fifth time in six games with the Dodgers opposing a right-hander starting pitcher in Luis Castillo. He remains stuck on the short side of a platoon with Max Muncy, but both players are expected to see their playing time dry up in the near future with Justin Turner (wrist) trending toward a return from the 10-day disabled list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Longoria went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Pirates.

The former Ray continues to supply solid right-handed power to the Giants' lineup. Longoria now has eight homers and 21 RBI through 38 games, although his .246/.272/.500 slash line remains disappointing.

Senzel (vertigo) was placed on the 7-day disabled list at Triple-A Louisville, David Jablonski of the Dayton Daily News reports. "We are being very cautious with Nick. He's had this before. We feel we've got a good treatment plan in place. We do think it's realistic to expect to see him back on the field in fairly short order," general manager Dick Williams said.

The Reds plan to activate Senzel when he is symptom free, and based on Williams' comments, it sounds like that could be later in May. There is no denying his talent when he is on the field, and the only knock against him as a long-term fantasy asset is that he has now missed time with vertigo twice in less than a 10-month span (he was shut down in late August last year with the same ailment). The Reds' top prospect, who has been a third baseman for most of his pro career, was moved to second base this year, as he is blocked by Eugenio Suarez at the hot corner in Cincinnati. Senzel was hitting .271/.351/.459 with three home runs and three steals in 97 plate appearances prior to exiting the game May 3 with dizziness. Once healthy, he could earn a promotion to the majors this summer, but his health issues cloud his timetable for advancement.

Kieboom went 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, five RBI and a walk in Thursday's game for High-A Potomac.

He got off to a slow start to the season, but is hitting .350 with two home runs and a 4:9 K:BB over his last 40 at-bats, which has upped his season line to .243/.360/.412. Any opportunity to buy low has probably passed at this point, as Kieboom appears to be rounding into form.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Padres.

His fourth-inning blast to straightaway center field off Joey Lucchesi accounted for the Nats' only run on the night. Rendon has been on fire since coming off the disabled list, slashing .333/.429/.611 in five games as he looks to make up for lost time.

Longoria went 2-for-3 with two doubles and an RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.

In addition to the doubles, Longoria struck out in his only other at-bat before being lifted in the sixth inning with the game already well out of hand. He's now posting a 3:35 BB:K and hasn't drawn a walk since April 23. Even with the two-hit night, Longoria is just 7-for-31 (.226) since the calendar flipped to May, but three of those hits -- all doubles -- have come in the last two games.

Muncy is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

As per usual, Muncy will head to the bench with a left-handed starter (Patrick Corbin) toeing the rubber for the opposition. Kyle Farmer will pick up the start at third base in his stead, hitting eighth.
