Senzel is not in Saturday's lineup against the Pirates, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Senzel will get a day off after starting seven of the team's past eight games. He's struggled a bit in that stretch, collecting four hits in 29 at-bats. Phillip Ervin will enter the lineup in his place and bat eighth.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run homer in Friday's 8-3 win over the Rangers.

Missing nearly a month with a hamstring strain hasn't cooled down Moncada's bat at all -- he's bashed four extra-base hits in two games since his return, going deep twice. On the year, the 24-year-old has had his long-awaited breakout, slashing .305/.361/.555 with 22 homers and 63 RBI.

Anderson suffered a broken finger in his left hand after being hit by a pitch during Friday's game agianst the Phillies, Craig Mish of FNTSY Sports Radio reports.

The Marlins initially announced that Anderson was dealing with a bruised hand, but X-rays revealed a fracture. After the game Anderson stated "that will probably be it for the season for me," per Mish.

Anderson has been diagnosed with a bruised left hand after being hit by a pitch during Friday's game against Philadelphia, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson will likely be evaluated upon his arrival at the ballpark Saturday, and it's certainly possible for him to return to the starting nine Saturday if he checks out OK.

Anderson was removed from Friday's game against the Phillies after being hit by a pitch on his left hand, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Anderson initially remained in the game after getting drilled, but he was eventually replaced by Harold Ramirez. Anderson is likely headed for X-rays to determine the extent of the injury.

Peterson is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Tampa Bay, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Peterson started four of the last five contests, but he'll take a seat Friday as he is 3-for-20 since Aug. 14. DJ Stewart, Anthony Santander and Trey Mancini will start from left to right in the outfield for the Orioles.

Candelario (thumb) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Candelario recorded multiple hits in three of his last four rehab games with Toledo and homered Thursday, but he had been in a bad way before landing on the IL (.156/.235/.234 in his last 20 games), so the Tigers will keep him down and have him work out the kinks until rosters expand. Dawel Lugo has been starting at third base for the big-league club.

Newman went 2-for-4 and stole his 11th base of the season Thursday against the Nationals.

The stolen base was just his second in August. He's slashing .231/.286/.323 for the month, concurrent with the team's overall struggles. Despite his recent falloff, Newman continues to see regular playing time and appears set to start at shortstop or second base in 2020. Overall, he's hitting .298 with seven homers and 42 RBI in 363 at-bats.

Rendon went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a 7-1 victory against the Pirates on Thursday.

In his last three games against the Pirates, Rendon raked, going 7-for-12 (.583) with two extra-base hits and four RBI. The Pirates are hardly the only team he's crushed, though, as Rendon is batting .354 with 10 extra-base hits this month. Rendon has already hit a career high in home runs and reached a new best in RBI with the solo shot Thursday; he is on pace to do the same in the runs and average categories too. He is batting .324 with 28 home runs, 101 RBI, 91 runs and three steals in 432 at-bats this season.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Tigers.

Bregman slugged a two-run shot in the fourth inning to give the Astros the first lead of the game. He also singled in the sixth. The 25-year-old shortstop has now tied a career best of 31 home runs while slashing .279/.407/.558 with 95 runs scored and 85 RBI.
