Hayes went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Brewers.

Hayes cut Milwaukee's lead to 7-4 with his two-run blast in the eighth inning, but it wasn't enough to spark a comeback. The rookie slugger is slashing .316/.381/.658 with six extra-base hits and seven RBI through 42 plate appearances this season. Hayes is riding an eight-game hitting streak since returning from the injured list.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 11-5 loss to Cincinnati.

Colorado's offense had little luck against Cincinnati starter Tyler Mahle until the sixth inning. McMahon delivered the Rockies' biggest hit of the game, but it wasn't enough to flip the result. The 26-year-old infielder is slashing .254/.305/.496 with 14 homers, 37 RBI, 38 runs scored and three stolen bases through 249 plate appearances. He is likely to continue hitting near the middle of the order.

Muncy left Friday's game against the Rangers with right side tightness, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

This sounds potentially more worrisome than if Muncy had re-aggravated his ankle injury, as was initially speculated by Dodgers beat reporters. It's not clear whether Muncy will be sent for tests or if it's simply a day-to-day issue. He hit a two-run homer prior in his lone at-bat before being replaced by Albert Pujols.

Farmer went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 11-5 win over Colorado.

Farmer hit Cincinnati's fourth homer of the game to extend the lead to 8-0. The infielder has hit safely in three of his last four games, going 4-for-16 (.250) with a homer, a double, and two runs scored in that span. The 30-year-old is slashing .210/.271/.327 with five long balls, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and a stolen base across 177 plate appearances.

Muncy exited Friday's game against the Rangers after apparently re-aggravating his right ankle, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

He hit a two-run home run in the first inning and was replaced by Albert Pujols for the top of the second inning. It's unclear how serious the injury is and the team has not yet confirmed the location of the injury.

Suarez left Friday's game against the Rockies in the fifth inning due to a cut finger he originally sustained in a "cooking accident" Thursday night, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. Manager David Bell said Suarez can play Saturday's game.

It sounds like he won't miss any further time due to the cut finger. He went 1-for-2 with a double prior to exiting.

Moustakas (heel) was running the bases and taking grounders at third base Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Manager David Bell said last weekend the 32-year-old was about a week away from a rehab assignment, though there's been no additional indication the infielder is set to begin said assignment. Moustakas has been sidelined since May 18 due to a bruised right heel, so he shouldn't need significant time in the minors before being activated.

Sosa will not start Friday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Sosa started 22 straight games at shortstop while Paul DeJong (ribs) was injured. He hit fairly well over that stretch, posting a .286/.360/.390 slash line with one homer and two steals, but with DeJong now back from the injured list there don't appear to be starts available for him going forward.

Segura went 3-for-5 with three RBI and a double Thursday against Atlanta.

Segura has collected at least one hit in six of his last eight games. He entered the contest having driven in only one run in that span, though he delivered a two-RBI walk-off single in the 10th inning Thursday. For the season, Segura is hitting .323/.377/.455 with 22 runs scored and 16 RBI across 183 plate appearances.

Muncy (ankle) will start at first base and bat second Thursday against the Pirates, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Just as manager Dave Roberts suggested would be the case, Muncy will return to the starting nine for the series finale after the Dodgers elected to hold the 30-year-old out of action for Wednesday's 2-1 win to receive some extra maintenance for his sore right ankle. Though Muncy is expected to fill a regular role moving forward, he still has yet to regain full lateral mobility due to the ankle issue, so the Dodgers will likely limit him to playing first base for the time being. Muncy previously made 15 starts at second base this season.
