  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Giants' Evan Longoria: Leaves with foot issue

    Longoria exited Sunday's game against the Brewers with left foot discomfort, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Longoria was lifted for a pinch hitter during the fifth inning, but there was no clear indication he was otherwise dealing with an injury. The severity of the injury remains unclear, though it's poor timing regardless since the Giants have a doubleheader Monday in Colorado.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Takes seat Sunday

    Arenado is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Arenado went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's marathon 17-9 loss, and he'll take the day off for the series finale. Ryan McMahon will start at the hot corner in his place while Garrett Hampson takes over at the keystone.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Athletics' Matt Chapman: Multi-hit effort in big win

    Chapman went 3-for-4 with an RBI double, another two-bagger and two runs in a win over the White Sox on Saturday.

    Chapman played a prominent role in the Athletics' 13-hit outburst, continuing his hot post-All-Star-break start. The third baseman had also gone 2-for-4 during a win in Friday's series opener, and he's now hitting .321 (9-for-28) overall in his first seven games of July.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Solidified as No. 2 hitter

    Segura will bat second and start at shortstop Sunday against the Nationals, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

    Though he's gone hitless through the first two games of the series, Segura looks locked into the second spot in the lineup at this point. He'll be making his 16th consecutive start out of that position and is slashing .284/.331/.433 with five steals and seven home runs over 268 at-bats as the No. 2 hitter this season.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Drills two-run homer

    Arenado went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 17-9 loss to the Reds.

    Arenado's first-inning two-run shot off Tanner Roark ended an eight-game homer drought, during which the All-Star went 6-for-29. The recent offensive lull is probably nothing for fantasy managers to be concerned about, especially with five more games on tap during the Rockies' homestand to open the second half.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Scores three times in win

    Suarez went 1-for-4 with a triple, two walks and three runs Saturday in the Reds' 17-9 win over the Rockies.

    Suarez was one of several Reds to take advantage of the spacious Coors Field outfield, recording one of the team's 12 extra-base hits on the evening. After a rough June, Suarez is batting a modest .250 thus far in July, but six of his eight hits have gone for extra bases (four home runs, one triple and one double).

  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    Reds' Nick Senzel: Three extra-base hits in win

    Senzel went 4-for-5 with two triples, a double, a walk and two runs Saturday in the Reds' 17-9 win over the Rockies.

    Senzel was one of four Reds to finish with at least four hits as the team racked up 24 on the night. The breakout showing at the dish was a welcome sight for fantasy managers, as Senzel had been batting just .238/.292/.429 over his preceding 30 games dating back to June 1.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Slugs 24th homer

    Bregman went 2-for-5 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

    The 25-year-old infielder seemed fine despite the stitches on his chin from a wayward grounder that kept him out of Friday's contest. Bregman is now slashing .269/.398/.542 through 90 games with 24 homers and 57 RBI.

  • Matt Duffy 3B | TEX

    Rays' Matt Duffy: Three more RBI in latest rehab game

    Duffy (hamstring) played a full game at third base and went 1-for-5 with a double, three RBI, and two runs in Triple-A Durham's win over Norfolk on Saturday.

    Duffy has now accomplished the rather unlikely feat of knocking in six runs with just one extra-base hit (Saturday's double) over the last two rehab games. The veteran infielder is reportedly closer than ever to finally seeing big-league action in 2019, and his ability to play all nine innings in the field Saturday may have sealed the deal in terms of his forthcoming activation.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Blasts two solo shots

    Machado went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Braves.

    Machado got the Padres on the board with the first of his homers in the second inning and then briefly sparked a rally with another blast in the tenth inning off Braves closer Luke Jackson. The third baseman is up to 23 homers, 61 RBI and 55 runs scored in 89 games this year, and he's hit three homers in 10 at-bats to start the second half of the season.
