J.D. Davis 1B | LAA
Giants' J.D. Davis: Leaves with ankle sprain
Davis left Tuesday's game versus St. Louis with a sprained right ankle, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Davis injured the ankle early in the contest sliding into third base, and the veteran infielder was unable to continue. He should be considered day-to-day for now, but David Villar was removed from Triple-A Sacramento's game Tuesday, and will likely receive a promotion if and when the Giants place Davis on the 10-day injured list.

Giants' J.D. Davis: Exits early Tuesday
Davis was lifted from Tuesday's game against the Cardinals with an apparent ankle injury, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Davis appeared to injure his right ankle during an awkward slide into third base. The Giants will take a look at him and should provide more details shortly, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the time being.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Battling hamstring strain
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Muncy is out of the lineup due to a left hamstring strain, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Muncy apparently strained his hamstring while running to first base during his final at-bat Sunday. He's scheduled to receive an MRI on Wednesday and won't return to the lineup until Thursday at the earliest.

Nick Senzel 3B | LAD
Reds' Nick Senzel: Set to start rehab assignment
Senzel (knee) is set to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Senzel was initially supposed to start for Louisville on Sunday, but the game got rained out and the team had an off day Monday. The 27-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list since last Tuesday with right knee irritation and isn't eligible to be activated until Friday, so he'll likely make multiple starts in Triple-A.

Emmanuel Rivera 3B | BAL
Diamondbacks' Emmanuel Rivera: Hot bat continues
Rivera went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 9-8 win over the Phillies.
Rivera was a pivotal contributor in the Diamondbacks' comeback from a 5-1 deficit. He singled and scored in the third and fourth innings, including an RBI knock, then brought in another run with a sacrifice fly. Rivera continues to swing a hot bat, having hit safely in 13 of the last 15 games (22-for-55, .400) while mustering eight multi-hit efforts.

Evan Longoria 3B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Evan Longoria: Creates cushion with homer
Longoria went 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 9-8 win over Philadelphia.
Longoria knocked in a run on a sacrifice fly in the first inning and then gave Arizona some cushion in the sixth with a three-run home run. It was the seventh home run in the last 19 games for the 37-year-old veteran, who's slugging like a rookie again. For the season, Longoria is slugging .538, which would rank 12th in MLB if he qualified. And therein lies the issue for Longoria -- playing time. He has just 116 plate appearances over the team's 66 games.

Jean Segura 3B | CLE
Marlins' Jean Segura: Finally goes yard
Segura went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the White Sox.
His ninth-inning blast off Kendall Graveman was huge for the Marlins in a comeback win, and it was also Segura's first long ball of 2023. Miami has stuck with the struggling veteran, but so far the team's patience hasn't been rewarded -- over his last 20 games, Segura is slashing a paltry .186/.250/.271.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Swats 10th homer
McMahon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Padres.
McMahon took Tom Cosgrove deep with rain coming down at Coors Field. The game went into a rain delay after McMahon's tying blast in the ninth inning. While he's slowed down slightly in the last week, the infielder has hit six of his 10 homers over his last 16 contests, a span in which he's batting .369 (24-for-65). He's slashing .261/.335/.479 with 37 RBI, 35 runs scored and four stolen bases through 65 games overall in a near-everyday role.

Elly De La Cruz SS | CIN
Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Gets aboard four times
De La Cruz went 2-for-3 with two walks, one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Cardinals.
De La Cruz has hit safely in each of his first six major-league games (8-for-22), and this was his second multi-hit effort. He's also posted a reasonable 5:10 BB:K through 27 plate appearances, showing some decent plate discipline for a rookie. Pitchers may eventually figure him out, but the Reds called him up because he's ready, so he should see consistent playing time -- he's played four times at third base and twice at shortstop so far. The top prospect already has three stolen bases in the majors after swiping 11 bags over 38 games for Triple-A Louisville.
