Arenado went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and an intentional walk in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Diamondbacks.

Arenado went deep off Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen in the fourth inning. In the eighth, reliever Kevin Ginkel intentionally walked Arenado to get to Daniel Murphy. The Rockies' rally continued as Raimel Tapia plated Arenado and Murphy with a two-run double. The 29-year-old Arenado is batting .246 with four homers, nine RBI and eight runs scored in 16 games this season.

Segura went 1-for-4 with a walk, home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Orioles.

Segura hit a go-ahead solo home run in the eighth inning, giving the Phillies a 6-5 lead. It was his second home run of the season, and second in as many games. Segura has yet to really get going at the plate, as he's hitting just .194/.341/.361 in 44 plate appearances this season. Still he's chipped in eight runs scored and a stolen base, so he has found ways to be productive.

Moncada may not be in the lineup Wednesday since he's been battling soreness for about a week, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The 25-year-old has started the past 15 games at third base and went 0-for-5 Tuesday, ending a modest eight-game hit streak. It doesn't appear to be a serious concern, so Moncada shouldn't be out long, assuming he's held out of Wednesday's starting nine.

Devers (ankle) isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Rays, but he hit in the cage, did some running and fielded grounders, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

The 23-year-old is absent from the lineup for the second straight contest due to a sore ankle, but he was feeling "way better" after Tuesday's workout, per manager Ron Roenicke. The skipper didn't indicate whether Devers was likely to return to action for Wednesday's contest, but he's clearly trending in the right direction.

Moustakas (quadriceps) has yet to run or face live pitching as of Tuesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Moustakas has been out for a week with a bruised quadriceps, though he previously hoped to be able to return Tuesday. He's since been placed on the injured list, as he's behind that more optimistic schedule, but he expects to be able to return when first eligible Sunday.

Vargas was traded from the Diamondbacks to the Twins on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.

Vargas was designated for assignment by Arizona on Thursday, but he'll find a new home with the Twins via trade. The 29-year-old hit .150 with two runs and five strikeouts over 20 at-bats this season and should serve as infield depth in Minnesota.

Devers (ankle) isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Devers tweaked his ankle Sunday and was expected to miss his second straight contest Tuesday, and he'll be replaced by Jonathan Arauz in the lineup once again. The 23-year-old is expected to meet with the medical staff Tuesday, and a better idea of his return timeline could come into focus afterward.

Senzel (groin) is back in the lineup as expected Tuesday against the Royals, leading off and playing center field.

Senzel left Friday's game against the Brewers with a tight left groin and sat out both of the Reds' weekend games. He's hit a respectable .233/.314/.467 through 10 games this season.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, three runs scored and two walks in Monday's win over the Athletics.

Rendon blasted a two-run shot in the bottom of the first and that would set the tone for the rest of his night, as he reached base four times while crossing home plate thrice. This was a much-needed performance for the slugging third baseman, who was stuck in a 0-for-19 slump prior to Monday's contest.

Chapman went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a triple, six RBI and three runs scored in Monday's loss against the Angels.

Chapman has been on an absolute tear of late and has posted four straight multi-hit performances while going deep in three consecutive games. The star third baseman has a 1.316 slugging percentage in those four games while racking up four homers, two doubles, one triple and 10 RBI.
