Longoria (finger) has started to increase his hitting progression, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Longoria began his hitting progression approximately a week ago after participating in limited baseball activities before then. The 36-year-old certainly appears to be trending in the right direction, but he doesn't yet have a timetable to return from the 10-day injured list.

Peterson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

He's one of several lefty-hitting regulars in the Milwaukee lineup with southpaw Sam Long on the hill for San Francisco. The righty-hitting Mike Brosseau will step in for Peterson at third base Monday, but both players will see their opportunities to play the hot corner take a hit in the likely event that Luis Urias (quadriceps) returns from the injured list later this week.

Rendon went 0-for-1 with four walks and a run in Sunday's 7-6 victory versus Baltimore.

Rendon's patience paid off throughout the contest, as the veteran third baseman reached base four times on free passes. Coming into the contest, he had taken six walks over 13 games. Rendon's on-base percentage was buoyed to .351 with his walk-heavy Sunday, but he is hitting a modest .200 on the season.

Bregman went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks and an RBI on Sunday against Toronto.

Bregman ended Houston's weekend series against Toronto having tallied five hits, four RBI and one run scored across three games. On Sunday, he recorded his RBI by working a bases loaded walk in the second inning, and he later smacked a two-out double in the sixth frame. Bregman has now turned in three multi-hit games across his last six starts.

Newman went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

Newman drew a walk in the second inning and followed it up with an RBI double in the third off of Justin Steele. He finished topped off his big day with a fifth-inning single and raised his average to .222 through 45 at-bats. Sunday's performance was his first multi-hit game of the year.

Riley went 3-for-5 with a homer, two doubles, two RBI and a strikeout in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Miami.

Atlanta struggled to generate much offensive production in Sunday's matchup, but Riley kept the team in the game with his three extra-base hits, including a two-run blast with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning. The 25-year-old has 10 extra-base hits in 16 appearances this season, and he's slashed .295/.394/.590 with four homers, six doubles, 10 runs, nine RBI and a stolen base.

Davis went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in Sunday's 6-2 win against Arizona.

Davis had his first truly solid game of the season Sunday, singling in the second inning, walking and scoring in the seventh and connecting on a solo shot in the eighth to provide a valuable insurance run. Opportunities have been difficult to come by for the 28-year-old who had just 20 at-bats on the season prior to Sunday, though he's always hit well for New York when given the chance with a .285 average across four seasons with the team.

Freeman (shoulder) has begun participating in full team workouts at extending spring training in Arizona, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Freeman remains on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Columbus while he continues to ramp up from the shoulder surgery he required last summer. He's likely at least a couple weeks away from debuting with the Triple-A club.

LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 10-2 win over Cleveland.

LeMahieu had a 10-game hitting streak heading into Sunday's matchup, but he had just three runs and three RBI during that time. However, he was more effective at producing runs during the blowout win over the Guardians since he stepped up with two extra-base hits. The 33-year-old has a .924 OPS with two homers, three doubles, seven RBI and five runs in 15 games this year.

Reynolds was claimed off waivers by the Reds on Sunday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

The 31-year-old was designated for assignment by the Mets on Wednesday and will now join the Reds. Ryan Hendrix, who was removed from the 40-man roster in a corresponding move, had been pitching for Triple-A Louisville, so the Reds will have to make another transaction to clear a spot on the 28-man active roster for Reynolds. Expect him to fill a utility role in the infield for the banged-up Reds.
