Longoria (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting Saturday against the Brewers.

Longoria began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday and went 3-for-6 with two doubles, two runs, a walk and a strikeout over his two rehab games. He's starting at third base and batting cleanup Saturday, and he should see regular playing time now that he's back to full health.

Donaldson (hand) is starting Saturday against the Red Sox.

Donaldson was out of the lineup Friday against Boston after he was hit by a pitch on his hand Thursday against Cincinnati. However, he went 0-for-1 with a strikeout Friday and will start at the hot corner and bat fifth a day later.

LeMahieu went 3-for-5 with a run in Friday's extra-innings loss to the Red Sox.

LeMahieu knocked three singles in the contest, and he was on base when Giancarlo Stanton swatted a three-run homer in the third inning. The three-hit performance was LeMahieu's sixth this season and marked the fifth time in his past nine contests that he's tallied multiple hits. Over that stretch, LeMahieu is batting .342 across 38 at-bats, though he doesn't have any extra-base hits.

Candelario isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Guardians.

Candelario is on the bench for a second consecutive matchup after he went 2-for-13 with an RBI, a walk and five strikeouts over his last four games. Harold Castro is starting at third base and batting cleanup.

Arenado isn't starting Saturday's game against the Reds due to low back tightness, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Arenado has been dealing with a back issue for several weeks and won't play in the All-Star Game as a result. He hopes to return to the lineup Sunday against the Reds, but Brendan Donovan is starting at third base and batting sixth Saturday.

Chapman went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 8-1 win over the Royals.

The third baseman took Carlos Hernandez deep in the fifth inning to blow open what had been a 4-1 game. Chapman has gone yard in back-to-back games and four of his last nine, giving him 15 homers on the season. He's batting .333 (11-for-33) over that nine-game stretch in what could be a sign of things to come -- his .257 xBA and .515 xSLG are well above his actual .226 and .428 marks.

Riley went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-4 win over the Nationals.

Riley's gone yard eight times in 15 games in July, slashing a blistering .403/.439/.871 over that stretch with 17 RBI, and he now sits two homers behind Kyle Schwarber's 28 for the National League lead while pacing the NL in total bases with 201. After initially being snubbed for the All-Star Game, Riley was named a replacement for Nolan Arenado (back).

Urias went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 5-4 loss to Tampa Bay.

The 28-year-old took Luis Patino deep for a solo shot in the fourth inning and added a two-run shot in the eighth off Colin Poche. In 10 games since returning from the injured list, Urias is 12-for-31 (.387) with 11 RBI and three homers, improving his season slash line to .250/.299/.431 with 19 extra-base hits through 222 plate appearances.

Muncy is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Muncy is 1-for-23 with a double, two RBI, two runs and 11 strikeouts over his past eight games, though he's also walked seven times during that stretch. Justin Turner will shift to third base while catcher Will Smith rests his legs as the designated hitter against southpaw Patrick Sandoval.

Segura (finger) is making good progress, hitting in the cage and fielding grounders, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura has been on the shelf since fracturing his right index finger in late May. Throwing remains an issue for him, and he remains without a clear timetable for his return, but it's certainly positive to see him trending in the right direction.
