Hayes left Saturday's game against the Cubs with an apparent hand injury, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Hayes appeared to be hurt after fouling off a pitch. He was later checked out after sliding back into first on a pickoff attempt, though he initially remained in the game. He's since been replaced by Erik Gonzalez. The exact nature and severity of Hayes' injury are not yet clear.

Senzel (shoulder) is available off the bench for Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Manager David Bell said that Senzel is going to be fine and that his shoulder injury is not serious. Even if he doesn't appear off the bench Saturday, it sounds like fantasy managers will be able to deploy him in weekly leagues next week.

Senzel (shoulder) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals.

The Reds are hopeful that Senzel can return sometime this weekend, but he won't be a part of the starting nine in this one. He suffered a left shoulder injury on Opening Day but reportedly escaped serious injury. Tyler Naquin will start in center field and bat seventh.

McMahon went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 11-6 loss to the Dodgers.

He took Trevor Bauer deep in the seventh inning for the second of four Colorado homers in the frame, but the team's offense was otherwise quiet. McMahon started the game at second base before moving to third late in the game as part of a double switch, and his defensive versatility -- as well as the Rockies' lack of established alternatives -- should keep him in the lineup this season against all but the toughest left-handed pitchers.

Longoria went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional RBI in a win over the Mariners on Friday.

Longoria knotted the game at 3-3 with a two-run blast in the sixth inning, then plated the game's final run with a single in the seventh. The veteran has gone deep in each of San Francisco's first two games to begin the campaign and has collected four total hits along with a pair of walks over that span.

Arenado went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a run in Thursday's season-opening win over the Reds.

He also struck out for two of his three outs on the afternoon, so it wasn't exactly a picture-perfect debut. However, Arenado's impact went beyond just serving in more of a table-setting role Thursday, as his mere presence behind Paul Goldschmidt in the lineup could well have helped his teammate see much better pitches than he would have otherwise. Considering Goldschmidt parlayed that opportunity into a 4-for-5 day, it's evident Arenado's value to his new squad could extend beyond just what he produces in the box score.

Longoria went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

Longoria opened the scoring by leading off the second inning with a homer. The third baseman battled plantar fasciitis that limited him to designated hitter duty for most of spring training, but he played all 10 innings in the field Thursday. The 35-year-old had seven homers, 28 RBI and 26 runs scored with a .254/.297/.425 slash line in 53 games last year. When healthy, he should be a near-everyday presence in the heart of the Giants' lineup.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a triple, a walk and an RBI on Thursday against the Rockies.

Muncy reached base three times in the season opener. He delivered an RBI single in the sixth inning and added his triple in the ninth inning as the Dodgers attempted to rally. Muncy batted fifth on Opening Day, but he's moved all around the order in the past, so it's not clear that he'll stick in that lineup slot.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and a strikeout in Thursday's loss to the Cardinals.

The decision to play Suarez at shortstop almost immediately backfired; he made a fielding error in the first inning and a throwing error in the second, compounding Luis Castillo's issues on the mound. Suarez later went yard against Jack Flaherty, and he does look slimmer, but it's anyone's guess how long this experiment at shortstop will last. The early returns certainly cast some doubt on his ability to gain extra eligibility in-season.

Segura went 2-for-5 with one RBI and one stolen base Thursday against Atlanta.

Segura played hero in the bottom of the 10th inning, as he chopped a base hit down the third-base line to drive in the game-winning run. Perhaps more noteworthy was Segura's activity on the basepaths, as he swiped second base after reaching on a fielder's choice in the eighth inning. He stole only two bases on four attempts in 2020, but if he remains active on the basepaths this year, it will significantly boost his fantasy profile.
