Suarez went 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBI in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Cubs.

Suarez knocked his fifth home run of the year with a solo shot in the third inning before singling in a pair of runs in the sixth. The 29-year-old entered Sunday in a 1-for-31 slump over his last eight games and hadn't produced a multi-hit performance since April 10. He's up to 12 RBI and nine extra-base hits through 101 at-bats this season.

Riley went 4-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 7-2 loss to Toronto.

The Braves offense couldn't get much going Sunday, but Riley managed to knock four singles during the loss. It was his third multi-hit game over his last five appearances and second time with four hits during that span. The 24-year-old is slashing .329/.431/.459 with16 runs scored through 102 plate appearances.

Davis (hand) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 28-year-old suffered a left hand sprain during Saturday's game and will be sidelined for at least one contest. According to Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record, Davis doesn't believe it's a serious injury but isn't sure if a stay on the injured list will be necessary. Jonathan Villar will start at third base for the Mets in his absence Sunday.

Manager Don Mattingly expects Anderson (oblique) to return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 27-year-old was eligible to be activated during the weekend series against the Nationals, but he'll end up spending a little more than the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Anderson was off to a slow start before the injury with a .200/.262/.300 slash line, one home run, five RBI and three runs in 17 games.

Hayes (wrist) took swings in soft toss this weekend, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old has been throwing and running and was able to get a bat in his hands this weekend. It's only some light swinging, but it's significant step in his return from the wrist injury. Hayes will need to progress to facing live pitching before having a chance of returning from the injured list.

Longoria is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria started the past three games and will head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Wilmer Flores will start at the hot corner and bat third for the Giants.

Muncy is not in the lineup Sunday at Milwaukee, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Muncy is 2-for-39 with 15 walks and 18 strikeouts in his past 13 games, and he'll receive the day off Sunday to reset. Matt Beaty will start at first base and bat sixth for the Dodgers in the series finale.

Duffy is starting at third base and batting fifth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Duffy will be making his second start of the weekend series, as the Cubs have been using Kris Bryant in the outfield more frequently with Joc Pederson (wrist) on the injured list. Pederson is traveling with the team but has yet to be activated, so Duffy should continue to have some short-term fantasy value with the elevated playing time. He's slashing .275/.408/.300 through 40 at-bats this season.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

With Mike Moustakas recently missing time due to an illness and with Jonathan India (undisclosed) having been moved to the 10-day injured list earlier this weekend, Farmer has benefited from an uptick in work. He drew starts in the infield in four of the past five games, going 4-for-12 while reaching base at a .429 clip over that span. Though Farmer looks like the Reds' top utility infielder, he may not get the chance to play regularly at the keystone while India remains out. Nick Senzel will pick up his second start of the season at second base, and he could eventually settle in as the Reds' primary option at the position if manager David Bell wants to trot out his most potent lineup.

Senzel will start at second base and bat seventh Sunday against the Cubs.

Senzel came up through the Reds' farm system as an infielder, but he's logged more than 99 percent of his innings in the outfield since reaching the majors in 2019. However, he'll be picking up his second start at the keystone in four games as the Reds look to find a replacement for rookie Jonathan India, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday. Given that India looked overmatched over his first month in the big leagues, he could be optioned to Triple-A Louisville once activated from the IL. That could allow Senzel to settle in as the Reds' everyday second baseman while opening up a regular role in the outfield for the hot-hitting Tyler Naquin, who carries a .934 OPS into Sunday's contest.
