Arenado went 2-for-5 with three RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Arenado provided the game-winning hit for the Cardinals, a go-ahead, two-run single in the seventh inning. He went 7-for-15 with four doubles and five RBI across three games in this weekend series in Arizona. The third baseman is slashing .299/.361/.556 with 25 home runs, 81 RBI, 60 runs scored and three stolen bases through 112 contests.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Marlins.

Muncy continued his torrid August with his fifth multi-hit game in his last 16. In that span, he's knocked seven homers while adding 15 RBI and 11 runs scored. The infielder owns a .190/.326/.386 slash line with 16 long balls, 47 RBI, 51 runs scored and two stolen bases through 99 contests overall, and he's been trending in the right direction for a few weeks now.

McMahon went 2-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's extra-innings loss against San Francisco.

After recording three hits Saturday, McMahon stayed hot with two more Sunday. The 27-year-old has a modest four-game hitting streak, as he raised his average in the month to .359. He now owns a .252/.341/.404 slash line this year. As long as he continues hitting in the leadoff spot, he should contribute in runs and average.

Longoria went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's extra-innings victory over the Rockies.

The veteran third baseman powered the Giants' offense with a grand slam in the seventh inning, his 11th home run on the campaign. Longoria is now batting .333 with two home runs and seven RBI since his return from the IL on Aug. 8. If he qualified, Longoria would be seventh among third baseman in slugging percentage, so he could be a sneaky option for fantasy managers looking for a third baseman to plug into their lineup down the stretch.

Peterson (elbow) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Peterson is expected to play three consecutive days for the High-A affiliate before returning to Milwaukee on Friday and potentially getting activated from the injured list ahead of the Brewers' series opener with the Cubs if team doctors are satisfied with the condition of his sprained left elbow. Once reinstated from the IL, Peterson is expected to settle back in as the Brewers' top utility man.

Reynolds exited Sunday's game against the Pirates due to hip soreness, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Manager David Bell said after Sunday's win that Reynolds has dealt with his hip issue for several days, but the injury was bothering him more as the game progressed Sunday. Prior to his departure, he went 1-for-4 with a strikeout. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Monday's series opener in Philadelphia.

Mets manager Buck Showalter said Sunday that Escobar (oblique) "is doing really well" and is on track to return from the 10-day injured list Friday against Colorado, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Though he looks like he'll be ready to come off the IL when first eligible next weekend, Escobar's potential role is more uncertain. Before succumbing to the oblique injury, the righty-hitting Escobar had already fallen into a short-side platoon role at third base behind the lefty-hitting Luis Guillorme (groin), who was placed on the IL shortly before Escobar. Since Escobar joined Guillorme on the shelf, top prospect Brett Baty was called up from Triple-A Syracuse and has collected three hits in 17 at-bats while taking over as the Mets' everyday option at the hot corner. Like Guillorme, Baty bats from the left side of the plate, so Escobar could again find himself in the short side of a platoon if the Mets choose not to demote the rookie to Triple-A.

Segura is not in Sunday's lineup against the Mets.

Segura had been in the lineup for seven consecutive games, including both of the team's contests in a doubleheader Saturday. He hit .346 with an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in that span. Nick Maton will take over at second base and hit seventh.

Wisdom (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers and is considered day-to-day, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Wisdom appeared to jam his left ring finger while sliding into home during Saturday's win, but X-rays returned negative and he's been diagnosed with a strain. P.J. Higgins will take over for Wisdom at first base Sunday and will hit eighth.

McMahon went 3-for-4 with an RBI on Saturday against the Giants.

McMahon recorded his 55th RBI of the season with a single in the third inning. He's quietly had a strong August, maintaining a .356 average with four homers, 12 RBI and nine runs scored across 17 games. Despite that hot stretch, McMahon still has a 97 wRC+ and .328 wOBA across 453 plate appearances for the season.
