Hayes went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs.

After hitting a single to open the bottom of the sixth inning, Hayes stole second base against the battery of Chris Martin and Willson Contreras. Hayes has had a couple health scares recently -- his ankle leading up to Opening Day, and then his thumb/forearm in the first few days of the season -- but he hasn't missed a start so far. Hayes has led off the past two games against left-handed pitching.

McMahon isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers while managing some calf soreness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

McMahon was struck in the calf in Monday's batting practice and was then hit by a pitch twice during the subsequent win over the Rangers, so he's received the day off Tuesday to rest his calf. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, and the 27-year-old could be back in the lineup Thursday against the Cubs following Wednesday's scheduled off day.

McMahon will sit Tuesday against the Rangers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

McMahon's day off comes against lefty Martin Perez, but he started against the previous two southpaws the Rockies faced, so he's seemingly at little risk of slipping into a platoon role. Garrett Hampson will start at third base.

Segura will get the day off Tuesday against the Mets.

The Phillies open the season with games on 13 consecutive days, so they'll look to give their regulars some rest following a shortened spring schedule. Bryson Stott will start at second base in Segura's absence.

Longoria (finger) is participating in limited baseball activities, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria underwent surgery to repair a ligament in his right index finger in late-March, and he's now doing baseball work after having his stitches removed Friday. The 36-year-old was initially expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks, but if his rehab continues to go well he could be back on the field before the end of April.

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

With southpaw Bruce Zimmermann on the bump for Baltimore, the lefty-hitting Peterson will head to the bench for the second time in the Brewers' first four games. Mike Brosseau will fill in for Peterson at third base, and the two will likely work in a platoon at the hot corner until Luis Urias (quadriceps) is ready to return from the injured list.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss against Pittsburgh.

Arenado has recorded hits in each of his first three games of the season and has multiple RBI -- as well as recording at least one extra-base hit -- in each of those contests. Through three games this season, Arenado is hitting .500 with two homers, seven RBI, three doubles and four runs scored. It's also worth noting that five of his six hits have gone for extra bases.

Newman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Pittsburgh and St. Louis are concluding their four-game series with a matinee contest, so Newman is likely just getting a breather for the start of a seven-game week for the Pirates. He started at shortstop in each of the first three games of the season, going 3-for-12 with two doubles and an RBI while slotting in fifth, ninth and sixth in the batting order. Hoy Park will draw the start at shortstop Monday, but Newman appears to be fairly secure in an everyday role in the middle infield.

Segura went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Phillies.

Segura's now gone deep in back-to-back games after knocking a ninth-inning blast off Lou Trivino on Sunday. Three of his four hits in the season's opening series went for extra bases. The veteran infielder reached base five times in those three games and scored three runs.

Farmer went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

After his sixth-inning steal against the battery of Sean Newcomb and Travis d'Arnaud, Farmer is already halfway to his 2021 stolen base total. Adding a speed element would make Farmer much more interesting from a fantasy standpoint. He's otherwise a modest contributor, even with near-everyday playing time.
