MLB Player News

Anderson (oblique) resumed light baseball activities Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson will be eligible to return from the injured list Saturday. The Marlins have yet to confirm that he's expected to do so, but he's progressing well and isn't expected to miss too much time.

Longoria (hamstring) will bat cleanup and play third base Monday against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria left Thursday's game against the Marlins with a tight left hamstring and didn't play a role in any of the next three contests. He's back in action Monday and will look to build on his strong .291/.391/.582 slash line.

Machado went 2-for-6 with an RBI, a run and a stolen base in Sunday's victory over the Dodgers.

Machado played a big part in the Padres' late-innings rally, singling home the tying run in the ninth inning. He subsequently stole his fifth base of the campaign. That number already matches the amount of stolen bases Machado logged in 2019 and is one short of the six bags he stole in 2020. In addition to the steals, Machado has also slugged three home runs and driven in 10 runs while slashing .253/.359/.379.

Muncy went 0-for-1 with five walks and two runs Sunday in the Dodgers' 8-7 loss to the Padres in 11 innings.

Muncy has now produced only one hit in 20 at-bats over his last seven games, but thanks to a massive 27.6 percent walk rate, he's reaching base at a solid .345 clip during that span. Unfortunately, that comes as little solace to fantasy managers that roster Muncy in leagues where batting average is a category, but his steady eye at the plate could at least portend better production to come. On the season, Muncy maintains a magnificent 21:16 BB:K.

Vosler went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Marlins.

Vosler entered the game to begin the third inning after Wilmer Flores had to leave early because he was feeling under the weather. The 27-year-old had just been recalled to the Giants on Saturday and was able to notch his first career hit and a stolen base in Sunday's winning effort. Vosler's time on the big-league roster will likely depend on the health of other players, as Evan Longoria (hamstring) and Brandon Crawford (quadriceps) are day-to-day while Donovan Solano (calf) was put on the 10-day injured list earlier in the week.

Escobar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the 7-0 win Sunday against the Braves.

Escobar homered in the third inning off Drew Smyly in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader. He also provided a hit and an RBI in Game 1. Sunday marked his seventh home run, tying him for first in the majors. The 32-year-old is slashing .241/.312/.542 with 14 RBI and 15 runs scored.

Davis went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's win over the Nationals.

Davis launched his second homer of the season and continues to see the ball well, as he has hit safely in all but two of his games this season. He's hitting .414 with a 1.175 OPS thus far.

Suarez has opened the season hitting .149/.264/.324 with a whopping 33 strikeouts in 87 plate appearances. Reds manager David Bell surmised that the move to shortstop has hurt Suarez's offense, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

"I think there's something to that, actually. I think playing a new position and the fact that it's shortstop, he's had to put so much of his focus and so much of his energy on that position," Bell said before Sunday's game at St. Louis. Suarez looked particularly lost Friday night when he struck out four times, including looking to end the game.

Longoria (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Longoria will be on the bench for a third straight game due to a sore left hamstring, but the Giants are continuing to list him as day-to-day. Wilmer Flores will cover third base in Sunday's series finale while Longoria looks to heal up ahead of Monday's game against the Rockies.

Maton will start at second base and bat seventh Sunday against the Rockies, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Maton's path to regular reps at shortstop closed when Didi Gregorius (elbow) returned to action Friday, but with Jean Segura (quadriceps) on the shelf and Brad Miller (neck) day-to-day, Maton has seen steady work at second base. The rookie has been able to take advantage of the extra playing time thus far, racking up nine hits (six singles, three doubles) while scoring once and driving in a run over his first five big-league games.
