Riley went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and an RBI double in Sunday's 12-10 win over the Phillies.

Riley was a major factor in the Braves' 10-run second inning. He opened the scoring by plating Adam Duvall with a double and then scored the second run when Dansby Swanson drew a bases-loaded walk. Riley capped off the rally with a two-run blast. The third baseman is slashing .232/.282/.453 with six homers, 17 RBI and 12 runs scored through 28 games.

Davis left Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees with a left hip issue, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Davis took a fastball to the left hip Saturday, and the issue was apparently still bothering him Sunday as he left the twin bill early. However, he isn't expected to be hindered by the injury going forward.

Escobar went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Giants.

Escobar took Giants starter Johnny Cueto deep in the seventh inning for the Diamondbacks' only run in the game. The 31-year-old Escobar is slashing .200/.292/.350 with four homers, 16 RBI, 16 runs scored and a stolen base through 34 games this season. He showed some signs of life at the plate against the Giants, going 3-for-9 with a homer, a triple and a pair of walks in the three-game series.

Davis exited the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees with an apparent injury, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Davis grounded into a double play to end the sixth inning, and he subsequently left the game with a trainer. The nature and severity of the issue aren't yet known.

Escobar went 1-for-3 with a walk and a triple in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Giants.

Escobar, who led the Diamondbacks with 10 triples in 2019, hit his second of 2020. More than other struggling Arizona hitters, Escobar's production dip in 2020 is the most noticeable. His career-best .831 OPS of 2019 sits at .600 following Saturday's contest. Nothing glaring stands out as an obvious root cause, though he's hitting fewer fly balls and more grounders. This may also be a case of an unlucky hitter -- Escobar's BABIP is at .209.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, four RBI and two runs scored Saturday against the Rangers.

Muncy was a big part of the Dodgers' offensive effort, first driving in Austin Barnes on a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. He followed that up with a three-run homer in the seventh frame, his ninth of the campaign. Muncy was hitless in his past two games, but he now has three home runs in his past six contests. Overall, he's hitting .198/.322/.446 with 19 runs scored and 20 RBI across 146 plate appearances.

Machado went 3-for-4 with an RBI and scored twice in a victory over the Rockies on Friday.

Machado has not only strung together a 10-game hitting streak, but he has also notched multi-hit efforts in eight of those contests. Over his last four games, the 28-year-old has an absurd 1.964 OPS, going 11-for-17 with three homers and six RBI. The red-hot run has brought Machado's average to a healthy .308 on the season.

Segura went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in a 7-4 win over the Braves on Friday.

Segura imitated Andrew McCutchen's two-run shot in the third inning with one of his own the following inning to extend the lead to 4-1. It was his first home run since Aug. 15 and his fourth on the year as he upped his RBI total to eight on the season. Segura still has a .235/.326/.407 slash line despite hitting safely in 12 of his last 14 games.

Riley went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a 7-4 loss to the Phillies on Friday.

Ender Inciarte led off the seventh inning with a home run and Riley followed him up with a blast of his own. The young third baseman has tallied a hit in seven of his last eight games but is still hitting just .216/.263/.409 on the season.

Longoria went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss against the Diamondbacks.

Longoria has hit safely in four of his last five games, and he snapped a five-game homer drought with his sixth-inning blast off Zac Gallen. Longoria has been one of the top hitters for the Giants of late, and he has gone 15-for-36 (.416) with two homers, eight RBI and 10 runs scored over San Francisco's last 10 games.
