Davis went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's win over the Cardinals.

Davis' home run extended the Giants' lead to 4-0 in the seventh inning, which was enough to seal the win. The former Met now has five home runs and 16 RBI on the season to go along with a .304/.347/.551 slash line.

Arenado is not in the Cardinals' lineup Monday in San Francisco, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Arenado is in the middle of a 5-for-32 slide at the plate, so he'll get a day off to regroup. Brendan Donovan will be at third base, with Tommy Edman covering second base and Paul DeJong playing shortstop.

McMahon has been scratched from the Rockies' lineup Monday in Cleveland due to an illness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Mike Moustakas will slide into the lineup in his place. McMahon should be ready to return to the starting nine in a day or two.

Busch is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

He's taking the roster spot of Max Muncy, who was placed on the paternity list. Busch has posted a .967 OPS with two home runs at Oklahoma City this season after submitting an .881 OPS with 32 dingers between Double-A Tulsa and Oklahoma City in 2022. He'll be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game, although Busch could be in store for a short stay when Muncy returns before the weekend.

The Dodgers are expected to place Muncy on the paternity list Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Muncy can be away from the club for up three games. With the Dodgers set to begin a homestand Friday versus the Cardinals, Muncy will most likely remain in Los Angeles while the team completes its road trip with a three-game set in Pittsburgh. Muncy leads the majors with 11 home runs so far this season.

The Reds designated Vosler for assignment Monday.

After securing a spot on the Opening Day roster, Vosler made an early splash by providing six extra-base hits and nine RBI through the Reds' first eight games, but a 36 percent strikeout rate during that stretch was a warning sign that tough times were ahead for the 29-year-old. Regression ended up hitting Vosler hard, as he had fallen into a 4-for-38 rut at the dish over his last 12 games while striking out in 40 percent of his plate appearances. Though Joey Votto (shoulder/biceps) remains on the injured list, the Reds will likely turn over first base to Wil Myers on a regular basis to open up more opportunities for other outfielders rather than sticking with Vosler as an everyday option in the infield.

Anderson went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.

Anderson opened the scoring for the Brewers in the fourth with a shot to right center and then tacked on another in the eighth. They were his fourth and fifth homers on the year, and his first time leaving the yard since his multi-homer game against the Mets on April 4. The 30-year-old got off to a blistering start to the year but has not maintained consistency so far. He's now raised his line back to .280/.364/.533 and has 18 RBI, 15 runs and a 11:24 BB:K over 88 plate appearances.

Machado (back) is playing third base and batting third in Sunday's contest against Arizona.

Machado was held out of the lineup Saturday due to a recent bout with back soreness, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, but the issue appears to be minor since he's back at the hot corner Sunday. Machado is off to a slow start this season, slashing .221/.253/.291 with one homer, seven RBI and a stolen base through 91 plate appearances.

Madrigal is starting at third base and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

The Cubs are using Patrick Wisdom in left field with Ian Happ getting a breather, so Madrigal will take over at the hot corner. Wisdom remains the team's regular third baseman, but his ability to play in the outfield gives the club some flexibility and allows Madrigal to see regular playing time. The latter has earned it with a .324/.359/.432 slash line across 37 at-bats so far.

Senzel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh.

Senzel is 5-for-33 through 36 plate appearances and will head to the bench after making three straight starts. Stuart Fairchild, TJ Friedl and Jake Fraley will start from left to right in the outfield Sunday.
