Moustakas (foot) is starting at first base and batting fifth Sunday against the Cardinals, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

He suffered a bruised foot Thursday and missed the next two games, but he is ready to get back in there for the series finale. Moustakas is hitting .240 with two home runs, seven strikeouts and four walks in 25 at-bats this month.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a run scored Saturday in a 12-6 loss to the Phillies.

Anderson got the Marlins on the board in the third with a three-run homer. It was the 27-year-old's first long ball since Aug. 31 and his sixth of the season. He is hitting .273/.374/.453 with 24 RBI.

Moustakas (foot) isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Moustakas will miss his second consecutive game after leaving Thursday's game with a foot injury. He underwent an X-ray on Friday that came back negative, so it's unlikely that he'll face a significant absence.

Kieboom isn't in Saturday's lineup against Atlanta.

Kieboom went 0-for-8 with one walk and three strikeouts over the last two games, and he'll take a breather Saturday. Brock Holt will start at third base in his absence.

Hayes went 2-for-4 with a stolen base during Friday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

The long-time prospect has performed admirably in his small MLB sample size, hitting .357 in 28 at-bats to kick off his time in a Pirates uniform. A career .279 hitter in the minors (including just a .261 average in 2019), time will tell if Hayes remains an above-average bat in the show.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-4 win over the Angels.

McMahon tied the game at four with his ninth-inning solo shot, and Charlie Blackmon walked it off with a grand slam later in the inning. The long ball was McMahon's seventh of the year, to go with 19 RBI, 17 runs scored and a .216/.308/.424 slash line in 37 games.

Senzel (undisclosed) is not expected to be activated over the weekend but could return for the Reds' upcoming homestand, which begins Monday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Senzel last played Aug. 14, so it would be an exactly one-month absence if he returns to the lineup Monday. The Reds never clarified the nature of his absence, but given that it coincided exactly with the team's brief pause due to an unnamed member of the organization testing positive for COVID-19, it's not hard to connect the dots. He's been able to work out since the start of September, so he should be ready to go soon.

Moustakas' X-rays on his foot came back negative Friday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Moustakas left Thursday's game against the Cubs after getting hit in the foot by a pitch and is not in the lineup Friday against the Cardinals. Given that he's avoided a fracture, however, it's likely that he'll be able to return to the lineup before too long.

Moustakas (foot) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against St. Louis.

Moustakas left Thursday's game against the Cubs after a pitch hit his foot. The injury is evidently serious enough for him to miss at least one game. Freddy Galvis will be the second baseman in his absence.

Moustakas left Thursday's game against the Cubs with a foot contusion, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

The injury occurred when the infielder was hit by a pitch on his foot in the fourth inning. It's yet to be determined if Moustakas will miss time beyond Thursday.
