Senzel underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Friday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Senzel's procedure to clean out cartilage from his knee appears to have gone as planned, but manager David Bell didn't have an updated timetable for the 25-year-old's return Saturday. Senzel is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, but a better idea of his status should be known once he's able to resume activities. Jonathan India figures to continue serving as the primary second baseman in Senzel's absence.

Newman isn't starting Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Newman had gone 2-for-7 with a double, a run and a strikeout across the last two games. Cole Tucker will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Maton isn't starting Saturday's game against the Rays, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Maton will be out of the lineup for a second straight game after he went 0-for-6 with a walk and two strikeouts in his last two games. Ronald Torreyes will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Walls isn't starting Saturday's game against the Phillies, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games after he went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk Thursday. Joey Wendle will shift to shortstop while Yandy Diaz starts at third base.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a home run Friday in a win over Arizona.

Arenado gave St. Louis a 5-2 lead in the third inning with a solo shot to left field. He later knocked in another run with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. In his first season with the Cardinals, Arenado is slashing .290/.336/.550. He has notched 11 home runs and 35 RBI; both marks rank in the top 20 leaguewide.

Nevin was recalled by the Orioles on Friday and will make his big-league debut against the White Sox, batting eighth and playing first base.

Nevin joined the Orioles last season in the Mychal Givens trade. He had some decent numbers in the Rockies' system prior to the move but isn't a highly rated prospect and hit just .212/.260/.470 in his first taste of Triple-A action in 17 games for Norfolk this year.

Longoria isn't starting Friday's game against the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria went 5-for-12 with two home runs, a double, five RBI and three runs across the last three games. Jason Vosler will start at third base while LaMonte Wade takes over at first base.

Machado (shoulder) will serve as the designated hitter in Friday's game against the Astros, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Machado had served as a pinch hitter in each of the last two games, but he'll return to the lineup as the DH in Houston. The Padres are hopeful that Machado will be able to return to third base Saturday.

Moncada is not in the lineup Friday against Baltimore.

Moncada is 2-for-14 with four walks and five strikeouts over the past five games, and he'll head to the bench for the third time this season. Danny Mendick will start at the hot corner Friday for the White Sox.

Toro (oblique) was activated from the 7-day injured list and will be in the lineup Friday for Triple-A Sugar Land, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old landed on the minor-league injured list in early May with a strained right oblique, but he'll make his season debut for Sugar Land on Friday. Toro appeared in six games for the Astros in April and went 1-for-12 with one walk.
