Mousakas (hip) won't start Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Moustakas left Saturday's game against the Marlins with a tight right hip and didn't appear in Sunday's contest, though it's unclear if that's the reason he remains out Monday. He's been platooning with Eugenio Suarez at third base, so he was always likely to sit Monday against lefty Jon Lester. Whether or not Moustakas will return Tuesday against righty Miles Mikolas remains to be seen.

Riley went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday in Atlanta's 9-0 win over San Francisco.

Riley's 423-foot blast off Anthony DeSclafani was the second home run of the fourth inning for Atlanta, which received a solo shot from Jorge Soler to lead off the frame. With 14 home runs and a .359/.411/.679 slash line since the All-Star break, the 24-year-old has been one of the majors' most prolific power hitters thus far in the second half.

Kieboom went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk in Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Mets.

Since being called back up in late July in the wake of Starlin Castro being placed on administrative leave and later handed a 30-game suspension, Kieboom has handled an everyday role at third base. Despite receiving his most extended look at the big-league level to date, Kieboom has yet to generate much enthusiasm from a fantasy perspective. In 124 plate appearances since the All-Star break, the 23-year-old is slashing .226/.333/.368 with four home runs, no stolen bases, 14 runs and 13 RBI.

Hayes was diagnosed with a bruised right hand after exiting Sunday's 4-3 win in the eighth inning, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. He went 1-for-3 with a run before leaving the game.

Wilmer Difo came on to replace Hayes, who hurt his hand at some point earlier in the contest. Fortunately for Hayes, the contusion isn't related to the left hand injury that cost him two months earlier this season, and X-rays conducted after he exited the game have already returned negative. Assuming Hayes isn't experiencing too much soreness or swelling coming out of Monday's off day, he should could rejoin the lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.

Hayes was removed in the top of the eighth inning of Sunday's game against the Cardinals with right hand discomfort, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. He went 1-for-3 with a run before departing.

Hayes previously missed two months early in the season with a left wrist issue, but it was his other hand that nagged him Sunday. The Pirates are likely hoping that with the benefit of a team off day Monday, Hayes will be ready to return to action Tuesday against the White Sox.

McMahon is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

McMahon is 1-for-17 with a homer and three RBI in his last five appearances, and he'll head to the bench for Sunday's contest. Rio Ruiz will start at the hot corner for the Rockies in his place.

The Phillies recalled Maton from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Philadelphia will bring up Maton from the minors to give the team an extra body in the infield after Didi Gregorius was placed on the paternity list Sunday. Freddy Galvis will step in at shortstop for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks and will likely serve as the primary option at the position while Gregorius is away from the team for up to the next three days, so Maton will presumably be limited to a bench role.

Duffy will start at second base and batting fifth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Duffy is starting at the keystone for the third straight game and this figures to be the norm for a while, with David Bote (ankle) landing on the injured list Saturday. Duffy hasn't done a ton at the plate this year with a .640 OPS and one home run in 69 games, but the uptick in playing time at least gives him a little boost in fantasy value.

Segura went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over Arizona.

He went back-to-back with Odubel Herrera in the third inning against Humberto Mejia. Segura has racked up three straight multi-hit efforts during which he's also notched at least one RBI and one run, going deep twice in that stretch. That surge has pushed his slash line on the year back up to .295/.356/.443 with 10 homers, nine steals, 45 RBI and 58 runs through 101 contests.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in a 7-0 win over the White Sox on Saturday.

Wisdom took AL Cy Young candidate Lance Lynn deep in the fourth and fifth innings. It was the second straight two-homer game for the slugger, making him the first rookie in Cubs history to accomplish that feat, per Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network. Wisdom has gone deep nine times in his past 16 contests and is up to 25 homers in 251 at-bats overall this season. He needs one more long ball to tie Kris Bryant's team rookie record set in 2015.
