McMahon (groin) is starting Saturday's game against the Athletics.

McMahon was out of the lineup in the last two games due to a left groin strain, but he went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter Friday. He'll start at second base and bat fifth Saturday.

Muncy is dealing with a mild right ankle sprain and may not return to the lineup Sunday, but he's still considered day-to-day, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Muncy suffered the injury while trying to beat out a double play Friday. He'll be on the bench Saturday and possibly Sunday as well, which would give him three full days to rest given Monday's scheduled off day, but it doesn't appear as though the Dodgers plan on placing him on the injured list.

Muncy (ankle) will not start Saturday's game against Atlanta, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Muncy left Friday's game in the fourth inning after hurting his ankle while trying to beat out a double play. He's considered day-to-day but will rest for at least one game, with Matt Beaty taking over at first base. The Dodgers have an off day Monday, so it's possible Muncy sits Sunday as well in order to give his ankle three full days to heal.

Sosa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Reds on Friday.

The fill-in shortstop took Luis Castillo deep to left field in the fifth inning, putting the Cardinals' first run on the board with his 419-foot shot. The round tripper was the first of Sosa's career and extended his hitting streak to four games. The 25-year-old has done an admirable job holding down the fort while Paul DeJong (ribs) has been on the injured list, but with the latter set to begin a two-game rehab assignment Saturday, Sosa's allotment of regular playing time is likely nearing its end.

Walls, who went 1-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Rangers on Friday, is hitting just .158 (3-for-19) with an RBI, five walks, seven strikeouts, a steal and two runs over his last eight games overall.

The rookie has also struck out at a 29.7 percent clip during that sample, as he begins to encounter some of the expected struggles against big-league arms one would expect in even an elite prospect's first foray versus big-league arms. Nevertheless, Walls' outlook certainly remain bright, and his impressive .357 on-base percentage is largely a byproduct of an encouraging level of patience at the plate that's helped generate a 19.0 percent walk rate.

Vosler hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in Friday's 8-5 win over the Cubs.

Vosler hit for relief pitcher Dominic Leone in Friday's bullpen game, and he smashed his second home of the season to center field. The 27-year-old infielder has been a bench option for much of his limited big-league time. He's added three RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base in 25 plate appearances.

Longoria (side) went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, a walk and a run scored in Friday's 8-5 win over the Cubs.

Longoria missed two games with right side soreness. He knocked in Brandon Crawford for San Francisco's first run, then came around to score on a Steven Duggar home run. Longoria has maintained a solid .275/.363/.506 slash line with nine home runs, 30 RBI, 27 runs scored and a stolen base as a near-everyday option at third base.

Machado went 1-for-3 with a home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Friday's win over the Mets.

Machado has hit safely in seven of his last eight games, and he also ended a 10-game homer drought with his first-inning blast, his seventh of the season. The star infielder also plated the other Padres run when he drew a bases-loaded walk in the seventh.

Madrigal went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-8 win over Detroit.

Madrigal gave the White Sox what looked like a comfortable 7-2 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning with his second homer of the season before the bullpen made the game a nail-biter. He's driven in a run in four of the last five games.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a strikeout in Friday's 5-2 win over the Yankees.

Devers had recorded three hits across his last two games, and he led the Red Sox to the win Friday with his two-out homer in the top of the first inning. The 24-year-old is now slashing .279/.350/.592 with 15 home runs, 46 RBI and 36 runs this season.
