Hayes went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, two runs scored and an RBI on Tuesday against the Brewers.

Hayes extended his hitting streak to five games, though this was his first multi-hit game in the span. However, he's been excellent throughout the early portion of the season, as he's failed to reach base in only one start in which he did not leave the contest early. The primary downside to Hayes' performance is his lack of power -- he has no home runs across 64 pate appearances -- though he's offset that a bit with a pair of stolen bases and eight runs scored.

Senzel went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Padres.

Cincinnati fell to 3-14 with the loss, but Senzel provided a bright spot with his solo shot off Robert Suarez in the ninth inning. It was Senzel's first homer since April 30, 2021 -- almost a full calendar year. He still has a lot to prove both in terms of health and performance, but at least for now Senzel appears to be feeling well after he recently missed some time due to illness.

Newman was removed from Tuesday's game against the Brewers with left groin tightness, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Newman missed three games with a left groin injury before returning to action last week, and it appears he aggravated the injury Tuesday. The 28-year-old went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run prior to exiting the contest and should be considered day-to-day.

McMahon went 2-for-3 with a double Monday against the Phillies.

Though he didn't record any counting stats, McMahon had a strong performance at the plate. He recorded his fourth multi-hit performance of the season, which brought his average up to .241. McMahon has only one home run of the season, but he has six doubles to go along with six runs scored and eight RBI across 61 plate appearances.

Longoria (finger) has started to increase his hitting progression, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Longoria began his hitting progression approximately a week ago after participating in limited baseball activities before then. The 36-year-old certainly appears to be trending in the right direction, but he doesn't yet have a timetable to return from the 10-day injured list.

Peterson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

He's one of several lefty-hitting regulars in the Milwaukee lineup with southpaw Sam Long on the hill for San Francisco. The righty-hitting Mike Brosseau will step in for Peterson at third base Monday, but both players will see their opportunities to play the hot corner take a hit in the likely event that Luis Urias (quadriceps) returns from the injured list later this week.

Newman went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

Newman drew a walk in the second inning and followed it up with an RBI double in the third off of Justin Steele. He finished topped off his big day with a fifth-inning single and raised his average to .222 through 45 at-bats. Sunday's performance was his first multi-hit game of the year.

Riley went 3-for-5 with a homer, two doubles, two RBI and a strikeout in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Miami.

Atlanta struggled to generate much offensive production in Sunday's matchup, but Riley kept the team in the game with his three extra-base hits, including a two-run blast with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning. The 25-year-old has 10 extra-base hits in 16 appearances this season, and he's slashed .295/.394/.590 with four homers, six doubles, 10 runs, nine RBI and a stolen base.

Davis went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in Sunday's 6-2 win against Arizona.

Davis had his first truly solid game of the season Sunday, singling in the second inning, walking and scoring in the seventh and connecting on a solo shot in the eighth to provide a valuable insurance run. Opportunities have been difficult to come by for the 28-year-old who had just 20 at-bats on the season prior to Sunday, though he's always hit well for New York when given the chance with a .285 average across four seasons with the team.

Reynolds was claimed off waivers by the Reds on Sunday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

The 31-year-old was designated for assignment by the Mets on Wednesday and will now join the Reds. Ryan Hendrix, who was removed from the 40-man roster in a corresponding move, had been pitching for Triple-A Louisville, so the Reds will have to make another transaction to clear a spot on the 28-man active roster for Reynolds. Expect him to fill a utility role in the infield for the banged-up Reds.
