Vientos went 2-for-4 with two walks, a three-run home run and three additional runs scored in Monday's 19-5 rout of the Nationals.

Hitting ahead of Brandon Nimmo -- who tied a Mets record with nine RBI on the day -- paid dividends for Vientos, but the third baseman also capped the team's offensive eruption in the ninth inning with his third homer of the season. Vientos has hit safely in six straight games and 12 of his last 13, slashing .320/.364/.600 over that stretch with all three of his long balls, 11 runs and 13 RBI.

Cincinnati manager Terry Francona spoke to Candelario on Monday about a reduced role due to an early-season slump, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. "We tried to explain to him, too, that you can't chase hits. That's a hard way to play," Francona said.

This move was a long time coming and forecasted over the last week. Candelario, who is batting .113 with a .411 OPS over 22 games, managed to avoid being benched earlier while the Reds navigated injuries. Now that the roster is in better shape -- Spencer Steer is back playing the field following a bout of shoulder inflammation, Noelvi Marte is ripping it up since his promotion, and Gavin Lux no longer needs to cover left field since Austin Hays was activated off the injured list -- Candelario will have to take advantage opportunities when presented to him to climb back into a rotation at first base, third base or DH.

Norby is not in the Marlins' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Monday.

Norby will begin Monday's game in the dugout while Graham Pauley starts at the hot corner and bats ninth. Norby 3-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's loss to the Mariners has an .828 OPS in 35 plate appearances this season.

Norby went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Mariners.

Norby posted his second three-hit game of the season, but this one included a three-run blast to bring the Marlins within one after they were down 7-2. The long ball knocked in his first runs of the season and all three of his hits had an exit velocity of 99 MPH or higher. Norby has swung the bat well since missing the first couple weeks of the season with an oblique issue, slashing .303/.343/.485, though he's yet to draw a walk in 35 plate appearances.

Marte went 3-for-5 with two steals, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

The 23-year-old third baseman capped off a brilliant weekend in Colorado by notching his second career multi-steal game. In the three-game series at Coors Field, Marte batted .467 (7-for-15) with a homer, a double and seven RBI. Overall, he has opened the season with a .364/.404/.659 slash line with three homers, four steals, 15 RBI and eight runs scored across 47 plate appearances.

McMahon is not in Colorado's starting lineup against Cincinnati on Sunday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

McMahon has failed to record a hit over his last seven games and has gone 2-for-50 with a 41.7 percent strikeout rate since April 11. Amid his struggles, McMahon will begin Sunday's contest in the dugout while Kyle Farmer starts at the hot corner and bats fifth against Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo.

DeJong will undergo surgery Monday to repair his sinuses and orbital plate, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

DeJong's nose was fractured when he was hit by a Mitch Keller pitch April 15. DeJong was placed on the 10-day injured list the next day, and after visiting a specialist it was determined that surgery was the best way forward for his recovery. He will go under the knife Monday and is expected to return to action this year, though a timeline for his return has not been established.

Berti went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Phillies.

After collecting two hits Friday, Berti tallied three singles Saturday to raise his season batting average to an even .300. The veteran utility player doesn't offer a ton of power, but he's seeing the ball well at the moment and has good speed with seven stolen bases in seven attempts this year.

Marte went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.

Marte gave the Reds an early lead with a two-run shot in the second inning. It was his third home run in the last six games, during which Marte's driven in 12 runs while slashing .444/.483/.889. He's producing like a player that doesn't want to go back to Triple-A and has become the primary third baseman for now. That position was projected to be filled by a rotation of Gavin Lux and Jeimer Candelario.

Suarez went 4-for-4 with four home runs and five RBI in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

Suarez became the 19th player in major-league history with a four-homer game, and the first to do it since J.D. Martinez accomplished the feat Sept. 4, 2017, also as a member of the Diamondbacks. Suarez is the third player to hit four homers in a loss, joining Philadelphia's Ed Delahanty in 1896 and Atlanta's Bob Horner in 1986. This was also the second-fewest RBI in a four-homer game, only one better than Seattle's Mike Cameron, who hit four solo shots versus the White Sox on May 2, 2002. Suarez completed the feat from the No. 6 spot in the lineup, but Arizona's 1-5 hitters went a combined 1-for-18 with five walks in front of him. The historic performance gave Suarez the major-league lead with 10 long balls this season. He's added 20 RBI, 17 runs scored and a stolen base but is batting just .202 over 27 contests this season. He has shown signs of improvement, hitting safely in six of the last eight games while going 9-for-27 (.333) in that span.
