Arenado went 2-for-5 with a homer and four RBI against the Mets on Tuesday.

The Mets took a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the sixth at Coors, but Arenado erased it with a three-run homer, then hit a walkoff single in the ninth to finish them off. While it's not looking like Arenado will record his third straight 40-homer season, that's about the only negative thing you can say about his fantasy line, as he's hitting .316 and another season of 130-plus RBI appears easily within reach.

Reynolds was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.

The 26-year-old was barely playing in the big leagues, and in his few instances of playing time, he only managed to produce a .204 batting average in New York. With top prospect Amed Rosario joining the big-league team, there's simply no room for Reynolds in the majors right now, so he'll likely act as organizational depth until rosters expand in September.

Moncada (knee) said he expects to miss two-to-three days with his right knee contusion, Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports, though manager Rick Renteria said Moncada could play as early as Wednesday.

Players tend to underestimate the time they need to recover, though that doesn't seem to be the case in this instance. The White Sox could choose to err on the side of caution and hold him out a little longer, but either way, this is encouraging news. Yolmer Sanchez will continue to fill in at second base during Moncada's absence.

Segura is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Despite being in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, Segura will head to the bench for his first day off in over a month. In his place, Danny Espinosa will draw the start at shortstop, batting ninth.

Moncada (knee) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Moncada suffered a right knee contusion after a collision with Willy Garcia on Monday, and while he appears to have avoided a more serious injury, the White Sox will continue to proceed cautiously with their top prospect. He was unable to walk off the field under his own control following the collision, so even though the injury isn't expected to force him onto the DL, he'll likely get a few days off. In the meantime, Yolmer Sanchez is expected to fill in at second base.

Valencia went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in Monday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.

Valencia's fourth-inning hit to left was officially scored as a single, but he finished the play on third after Drew Robinson allowed the ball to slip under his glove and roll to the wall. Despite hitting just .238 in July, Valencia wrapped up the month hitting safely in seven of his last nine games. All were one-hit efforts and he only tallied one extra-base hit during that stretch.

Reyes (finger) was assigned to the Orioles' rookie team in the Gulf Coast League for a rehab assignment.

Reyes broke his finger after punching a wall in mid-May. Considering he's returned to live action within the initial timeline, it's safe to say he had a smooth recovery. He'll log a few games in the GCL before returning to man third base for High-A Frederick.

Devers went 4-for-4 with a double and an RBI during Monday's win over Cleveland.

Devers was moved up three spots in the batting order, from ninth to sixth, a decision fueled in part by his 1.041 OPS over five games in the majors. After Monday's breakout, the rookie is now 10-for-24 with a 1.231 OPS through the first six games of his career. Devers is worth a look in the majority of fantasy settings, but expectations should probably remain in check. There are likely to be peaks and valleys at the dish moving forward.

Moncada was diagnosed with a right knee contusion after a rough collision Monday night with teammate Willy Garcia, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Moncada was unable to walk off the field under his own power, so it was easy to fear the worst after a collision that left both players down for some time on the field. However, he apparently managed to escape without any broken bones or torn ligaments. Expect him to need a few days off, but it looks like Moncada should avoid landing on the DL.

Moncada suffered a knee injury in a nasty collision with outfielder Willy Garcia in Monday night's game against the Blue Jays.

The injury was serious enough that Moncada was unable to place any weight on his right leg and a cart was needed to carry him off. Moncada's knee appeared to strike Garcia's head at full speed, so the question will be whether the joint suffered any structural damage. Expect an MRI or X-rays to answer that question soon; for now, consider him day-to-day
