Muncy (ankle) will not start Saturday's game against Atlanta, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Muncy left Friday's game in the fourth inning after hurting his ankle while trying to beat out a double play. He's considered day-to-day but will rest for at least one game, with Matt Beaty taking over at first base. The Dodgers have an off day Monday, so it's possible Muncy sits Sunday as well in order to give his ankle three full days to heal.

Sosa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Reds on Friday.

The fill-in shortstop took Luis Castillo deep to left field in the fifth inning, putting the Cardinals' first run on the board with his 419-foot shot. The round tripper was the first of Sosa's career and extended his hitting streak to four games. The 25-year-old has done an admirable job holding down the fort while Paul DeJong (ribs) has been on the injured list, but with the latter set to begin a two-game rehab assignment Saturday, Sosa's allotment of regular playing time is likely nearing its end.

Vosler hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in Friday's 8-5 win over the Cubs.

Vosler hit for relief pitcher Dominic Leone in Friday's bullpen game, and he smashed his second home of the season to center field. The 27-year-old infielder has been a bench option for much of his limited big-league time. He's added three RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base in 25 plate appearances.

Longoria (side) went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, a walk and a run scored in Friday's 8-5 win over the Cubs.

Longoria missed two games with right side soreness. He knocked in Brandon Crawford for San Francisco's first run, then came around to score on a Steven Duggar home run. Longoria has maintained a solid .275/.363/.506 slash line with nine home runs, 30 RBI, 27 runs scored and a stolen base as a near-everyday option at third base.

Machado went 1-for-3 with a home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Friday's win over the Mets.

Machado has hit safely in seven of his last eight games, and he also ended a 10-game homer drought with his first-inning blast, his seventh of the season. The star infielder also plated the other Padres run when he drew a bases-loaded walk in the seventh.

Hayes went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 9-2 win over Miami.

In his second game back from a wrist injury, Hayes wasted little time in making an impact. He slugged a two-run homer in the first inning and added an RBI single during Pittsburgh's five-run rally in the sixth. The third baseman is 4-for-8 with a homer, a triple, three RBI and three runs scored in the last two games. He should be good to go for an everyday role, and the early returns are promising.

Segura went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 2-1 loss to Washington.

The 31-year-old led off the fourth inning with a single, stole second and scored on J.T. Realmuto's RBI single. Segura has found a groove lately -- he's on a five-game hitting streak, going 7-for-20 (.350) with four stolen bases and five runs scored in that span. For the season, the infielder is slashing .320/.364/.451 with three home runs, 12 RBI, 21 runs scored and six steals.

Muncy (ankle) is considered day-to-day following his early exit from Friday's win over Atlanta, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said after Friday's contest that Muncy "felt something not right" with his right ankle, and the infielder will be reevaluated Saturday to determine the extent of the issue. If the 30-year-old misses additional time, Albert Pujols could step in at first base.

Muncy exited Friday's game against Atlanta with right ankle pain, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 29-year-old sustained the injury in the top of the fourth inning while he was trying to beat out a double play, and he was replaced by Matt Beaty at first base. It's not yet clear whether Muncy's injury will force him to miss additional time.

Muncy left Friday's game against Atlanta in the top of the fourth inning with an apparent injury, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Muncy suffered his injury after he tried to beat out a double play in the fourth inning, and he was lifted from the contest immediately afterward. The nature and severity of the issue aren't yet known.
