Longoria is considered day-to-day with left shoulder inflammation, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to the issue and sits Sunday as well. He may remain on the bench Monday, but the Giants don't appear to be anticipating a trip to the injured list at this point.

Longoria (shoulder) remains out Sunday against Cincinnati, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria was scratched Saturday with a left shoulder issue and will sit for at least one more game. His return timeline remains unclear, though he was reportedly available off the bench Saturday, which points to a short absence. Pablo Sandoval gets another start at third base.

Moustakas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

The platoon edge isn't in Moustakas' favor with lefty Jason Vargas on the hill for the Mets, but the veteran slugger's absence from the lineup probably has more to do with him playing all 18 innings in Saturday's 4-3 win. With Moustakas getting a much-needed day off, Hernan Perez will pick up a start at the keystone.

Chapman went 2-for-4 a double, a triple and two runs in a loss to the Pirates on Saturday.

Chapman is knocking the cover off the ball thus far in May, as he's now ripped five extra-base hits (three doubles, one triple, one home run) in his first three games of the month. The 26-year-old third baseman is 7-for-14 during that stretch, pushing his season line to a stellar .306/.393/.621 (145 plate appearances).

Senzel went 1-for-3 with a walk and his first major-league homer in Saturday's win over the Giants.

Senzel should have had two homers, but for Kevin Pillar's highlight-reel catch. With Scott Schebler demoted and Matt Kemp released, the Reds have cleared the path for him to play every day in center field.

Donaldson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

The Braves withheld Donaldson from the starting nine for three straight games due to a calf injury before he returned to action at third base for the first two contests of the weekend. Donaldson went 3-for-11 with a double and three RBI between the two games and isn't believed to have suffered any setbacks with the calf, so he may just be getting some maintenance for the day game after the night game. Johan Camargo will fill in for Donaldson at the hot corner.

Newman entered Saturday's game as a pinch runner and later hit a two-run triple in a 6-4 win over Oakland.

The action was his first since returning from a laceration on his finger. Newman is expected to serve as a backup at both second base and shortstop while also filling in as a fifth outfielder. The 25-year-old has four hits in 12 at-bats for Pittsburgh and batted .233 in 30 Triple-A at-bats in 2019.

Duffy, who had a scheduled day off Saturday in his rehab assignment with High-A Charlotte, came out of Friday's game without setbacks, Jeff Seidel of MLB.com reports. "Good day, three at-bats," manager Kevin Cash said. "Got down the line fine. Two defensive plays at third base [and] looked good. [He] came in today, felt very good."

Duffy will suit up again Sunday, although whether he'll once again man third base or fill the designated hitter role is yet to be decided. The rehabbing infielder is slated for multiple games with the Stone Crabs before being evaluated for possible activation.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in a 9-2 victory over the Giants on Saturday.

The 27-year-old hasn't posted a multi-hit game since April 25, but he does have three home runs during that stretch. That's a good summary of Suarez's season. He is hitting .221, but 13 of his 25 hits have gone for extra bases. Suarez also has eight home runs, 19 RBI and 12 runs in 113 at-bats this year.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk in Saturday's 7-6 win over San Diego.

Muncy gave his team a sixth-inning lead with his three-run shot off reliever Brad Wieck. It was his sixth long ball of the year alongside 21 RBI and a pedestrian .243 average.
