Muncy went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Reds.

The Dodgers had just two hits Saturday, with Muncy sending them both over the fence against Reds right-hander Luke Weaver. This snapped an 0-for-9 skid for Muncy, who has homered six times over his last nine games. The infielder is up to 27 long balls, 70 RBI, 60 runs scored, one stolen base and eight doubles while slashing .199/.331/.495 through 86 contests.

Gelof went 2-for-6 with a solo home run, two stolen bases and three runs scored in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Rockies.

Gelof was able to make an impact with power and speed, providing a taste of what the top prospect can do at his best. He's homered in consecutive contests and is up to three long balls over 13 games in his big-league career. The second baseman has added five steals, six RBI and 10 runs scored through 56 plate appearances.

Paredes went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a solo home run in Saturday's loss against the Astros.

Paredes clobbered his 19th and 20th long balls of the season Saturday, tagging Hunter Brown and Rafael Montero for homers throughout the contest. The outing broke Paredes out of a mini-slump after he entered the contest 1-for-12 (.083) over his last four games. With both of Saturday's homers coming off right-handed pitching, Paredes further solidified his reverse splits, as he is slashing .261/.367/.535 with a .274 ISO versus righties while slashing .246/.342/.420 with a .174 ISO against lefties.

Davis went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Red Sox.

Davis hammered his 14th long ball of 2023 Saturday, going yard off Kenley Jansen in the bottom of the ninth for a walk-off. The homer marked Davis' second in three games, while the overall effort marked his first multi-hit contest since July 4. Across his last 15 appearances, Davis is hitting 8-for-48 (.167) with seven RBI and six runs scored.

Rivera isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Saturday against Seattle.

Rivera will get a breather Saturday after putting together a four-game hitting streak and going 6-for-17 with a homer and three runs scored in that span. Josh Rojas will start at the hot corner in Rivera's place and bat seventh.

The Diamondbacks placed Longoria on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained lower back, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Manager Torey Lovullo noted he doesn't expect Longoria to be on the IL longer than the minimum 10 days, so it doesn't seem like the back injury is too severe. Josh Rojas will come up from Triple-A Reno to take Longoria's roster spot.

The Cubs reinstated Madrigal (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Madrigal landed on the injured list July 4 with a strained right hamstring and will now return to Chicago after a five-game rehab assignment. The 26-year-old infielder went 5-for-18 with four runs scored during his rehab assignment and figures to return as the Cubs' primary third baseman. Miles Mastrobuoni was optioned to Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move.

Baty is not in Saturday's lineup against the Nationals.

Baty will open the game on the bench with lefty Patrick Corbin toeing the rubber for Washington. Mark Vientos is starting at third base and batting eighth.

Cabbage isn't in the Angels' lineup Saturday against the Blue Jays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

The Angels appear to have fallen into a pattern of giving Cabbage a day off every other game, and Saturday marks a rest day for the 26-year-old. Mike Moustakas will start at first base for Anaheim, allowing Eduardo Escobar to man the hot corner.

Riley went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 10-7 win over the Brewers.

The third baseman took former teammate Bryse Wilson deep in the seventh inning, giving Riley his seventh homer in the last nine games. It's been another huge summer so far for the 26-year-old slugger, and since June 20 he's slashing .300/.349/.650 with 12 of his 23 homers on the season, plus 28 RBI and 30 runs.
