Davis went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Marlins.

Davis put the Giants ahead 4-2 with his blast in the third inning. He'd hit a rough patch recently, going 2-for-19 over his previous seven contests before breaking out of the slump Sunday. The infielder is slashing .288/.363/.496 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 16 runs scored and five doubles through 43 games this season, earning a near-everyday role after initially looking like a platoon option to begin the year.

Arenado went 3-for-4 with a double and three runs scored in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Dodgers.

Arenado was the only one of the Cardinals' Nos. 1-5 hitters to hit safely in the contest, but the bottom of the lineup had a productive game. The third baseman extended his hitting streak to 12 games, a span in which he's gone 20-for-49 (.408) with six home runs, 16 RBI and 11 runs scored. For the season, he's slashing .278/.322/.460 with nine long balls, 34 RBI, 26 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases. After a rough start to the year, he appears to be getting back to his usual level of performance.

Muncy was ejected from Sunday's game against the Cardinals for arguing balls and strikes, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The 32-year-old struck out in both his plate appearances and was ejected for arguing a called third strike during the fourth inning. Muncy should be back in the lineup Monday in Atlanta, while Chris Taylor replaced him at third base Sunday.

Wisdom is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus Philadelphia.

Wisdom will get a day off after he's gone 1-for-11 with a double and eight strikeouts over the last three games. Miles Mastrobuoni will draw the start at the hot corner and bat eighth in the series finale with the Phillies.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

His fourth-inning solo shot off Alex Faedo got the Nationals on the board, and Candelario then wrapped up the scoring in the eighth with an RBI double. The switch-hitting third baseman is on fire right now, reeling off five multi-hit performances in the last six games with four doubles, a triple and two homers among his 12 hits. The surge has boosted Candelario's slash line on the season up to .253/.310/.447.

Anderson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss against Tampa Bay.

Anderson took Rays starter Zach Eflin yard in the fourth inning to bring Willy Adames around to score and bring the Brewers to within one run of Tampa Bay. However, Milwaukee would allow five unanswered runs over the next three innings and eventually fell to the Rays 8-4. Through 43 games, Anderson owns a .236/.327/.426 slash line with seven home runs and 24 RBI. After not hitting a home run between April 24 and May 15, Anderson now has two over his past four games.

Segura will sit Saturday against San Francisco, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Segura owns an awful .509 OPS on the season, but he's started to show signs of life over the past week, grabbing seven hits across a five-game stretch before going hitless Friday. He'll get a rest Saturday, with Jon Berti starting at third base.

Hayes went 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Hayes hit fifth in the order against right-handed pitching for the third consecutive game, though he responded with his third multi-RBI game of the season. Even after collecting two doubles, he's slugging just .309 since the beginning of May, spanning 15 games and 55 at-bats. As has been the case for much of his big-league career, most of Hayes' fantasy value comes from scoring runs and stealing bases.

Madrigal went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-1 win over the Phillies.

Madrigal was solid from the No. 9 spot as the Cubs got production up and down the lineup. He started at third base in this one, and Chicago should continue to work in both Madrigal and Patrick Wisdom at the hot corner, while Christopher Morel could be an option there as well. The crowded situation puts a cap on Madrigal's fantasy upside, though he's a capable performer when he starts.

The Padres placed Machado (hand) on the 10-day injured list Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Machado was initially expected to miss only a couple of games when he left Monday's game against Kansas City after getting hit by a pitch on his left hand, but additional X-rays revealed a fracture. The Padres have yet to offer a timeline for Machado's return, but it's possible he's able to come off the IL when first eligible May 27. Brandon Dixon was called up Friday to fill Machado's spot on the active roster.
