Kieboom (hand) will not start the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

Kieboom left Monday's contest after getting hit by a pitch in the hand, though X-rays revealed nothing worse than a bruise. Whether or not he's in contention for the nightcap is uncertain. Josh Harrison starts at third base in his absence.

Peterson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Reds.

Peterson cut Cincinnati's lead to 6-3 with his two-run shot off Nate Jones in the ninth. The utility man has hit .211/.392/.395 with two homers and five RBI across 51 plate appearances on the season.

Moustakas went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, double and walk in Monday's 6-3 win over the Brewers.

The infielder's three-run shot off Drew Rasmussen in the eighth ended up being the difference maker for Cincinnati. It marked Moustakas's eighth homer and brought him to 23 RBI on the campaign.

Suarez went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Monday's 6-3 win over the Brewers.

Suarez gave the Reds the lead with his two-run shot off Brandon Woodruff in the sixth. The third baseman has 14 long balls and 33 RBI to go along with a .203/.321/.480 slash line on the season.

Kieboom's X-rays on his left hand came back negative, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Kieboom has been diagnosed with a bone contusion in his left hand after being hit by a pitch Monday night. The Nationals will evaluate him on a daily basis moving forward.

Kieboom left Monday's game against the Phillies after being struck by a pitch on his left hand, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Kieboom immediately left the contest after being drilled, and he's likely headed for X-rays. He'll be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Vargas has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain, retroactive to Sunday.

Vargas will miss the final week of the regular season after serving as infield depth for the Cubs recently. It's unclear whether he'll be utilized if the Cubs make the playoffs. Right-hander Adbert Alzolay was recalled from the alternate training site in a corresponding move.

Arenado was placed on the 10-day injured list with left AC joint inflammation and a left shoulder bone bruise, retroactive to Sunday.

Arenado has battled a shoulder injury, and he'll miss the final week of the regular season after being placed on the 10-day injured list. Ryan McMahon is taking his place at third base Monday against the Giants and could continue to do so over the final few games of the 2020 season.

Hayes returns to the lineup Monday against Jon Lester and the Cubs, batting second and playing third base.

Hayes received a scheduled day off Sunday against St. Louis. The rookie is off to a hot start against left-handed pitching, going 6-for-13 with three doubles and a home run.

Senzel remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

On the bench for the third time in four games, Senzel doesn't look like he'll be in store for regular starts as the Reds aim to secure a playoff berth during the final week of the regular season. The 25-year-old has yet to get going in a 2020 season full of stops and starts, as he enters Monday's contest with a meager .211/.281/.421 slash line. Expect manager David Bell to roll with Brian Goodwin, Shogo Akiyama and Nick Castellanos as his primary outfielders the rest of the way.
