Bregman went 3-for-4 with three RBI during Thursday's win over the Angels.

Bregman made his at-bats count Thursday by collecting a trio of hits, including a two-run single in the third inning and an RBI single in the fifth. The 27-year-old has put together a solid slash line of .326/.392/.478 across 12 games, though he's off to a bit of a slow start in the power department with two home runs and one double.

Rendon (groin) is likely to be activated in time for the team's series beginning Monday at Texas, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Rendon is reportedly very close to a return, though it appears the Angels will be cautious with him. As a result, he may miss the remainder of the team's series in Houston. Jose Rojas and Luis Rengifo should continue to fill in during his absence.

Longoria exited Thursday's game against the Marlins with a tight left hamstring, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Longoria was pulled from the game in the fifth inning, though the severity of the injury is not yet known. Wilmer Flores shifted from first to third base, and he would likely remain a fixture in the lineup if Longoria is out for an extended amount of time.

Longoria exited Thursday's contest in the fifth inning, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

There was no immediate reason given for Longoria's exit, though he dealt with plantar fasciitis during spring training. The Giants are already missing Brandon Belt (quadriceps), Donovan Solano (calf) and Brandon Crawford (side) from their infield, so they'll be in a difficult position if Longoria is forced to miss additional time.

Anderson will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson was held out of Wednesday's lineup with side soreness, and his condition reportedly did not improve as expected Thursday. As a result, he'll be placed on the 10-day injured list. Jon Berti should pick up playing time at third base in Anderson's absence.

Phillies manager Joe Girardi named Maton and Brad Miller as the most likely candidates to pick up starts at second base following Jean Segura's (quadriceps) placement on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Maton filled in at shortstop for Didi Gregorius (elbow) in each of the Phillies' last three games, going 5-for-12 with a double and an RBI. Though Girardi believes Gregorius will be ready to go for Friday's game in Colorado, Segura's absence should free up more reps in the middle infield. Considering that both Maton and Miller are left-handed hitters, a platoon between the two won't be an option, so a timeshare could be in place until one player separates himself from the other while Segura is out.

Anderson is not in Thursday's lineup and may also miss Friday's game with soreness on his left side, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Anderson was held out of Wednesday's lineup with what appeared to be a minor injury, though it now seems as though his absence will extend for another few days. Jon Berti is likely to gain playing time at third base in Anderson's absence.

Davis isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Davis has struggled defensively in recent contests, and he'll get a breather for Thursday's series finale in Chicago. Luis Guillorme will start at the hot corner in his place and lead off.

Urshela (back) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game at Cleveland, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

DJ LeMahieu will shift over to third base in the series opener in Cleveland while Urshela gets a day of recovery after he was removed from Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Atlanta with back tightness. Manager Aaron Boone suggested Urshela wouldn't be sent in for any further medical tests, so the 29-year-old should be ready to rejoin the lineup at some point during this weekend's four-game series.

Senzel went 2-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to Arizona. He was also caught stealing once.

The center fielder's unimpressive start to 2021 has been marked by a .227 average and only two RBI in 44 at-bats. Only a few years removed from being a top-10 prospect in baseball, Senzel has yet to truly impress at the MLB level, hitting .243 with 52 RBI in 489 career at-bats. He does take a fair number of walks, and thus gets on base at a respectable rate, but will lack legitimate fantasy value until his offensive game reaches the next level.
