Arenado went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's loss to the Reds.

Make it back-to-back multi-hit games for Arenado to kick off his Cardinals career. He got a late-game at-bat against Sal Romano on Saturday and capitalized with his first long ball (and first extra-base hit) with St. Louis. Arenado has been batting third between Paul Goldschmidt and Paul DeJong.

Hayes had X-rays on his left wrist come back negative after leaving Saturday's game against the Cubs, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

The 24-year-old was pulled from Saturday's loss with left wrist discomfort, but the Pirates can breathe a sigh of relief as it appears he avoided a serious injury. The team figures to remain cautious with its star prospect, and Hayes should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.

Manager Derek Shelton said after Saturday's game that Hayes (wrist) is still being evaluated and the team will have more information regarding his status Sunday, AT&T SportsNet reports.

The manager added that Hayes injured himself during a plate appearance. "He caught the nob on his swing, when he turned it over so I guess the nob kind of caught in his hand awkwardly," Shelton said. The injury is new and not something that lingered throughout spring training. Fantasy managers will need to wait until Sunday for further guidance on Hayes.

Anderson will sit Saturday against the Rays, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson started both of the first two games of the season at third base, going 1-for-7 at the plate. He'll hit the bench Saturday despite the fact that the Rays will start the game with the left-handed Rich Hill on the mound. Jon Berti makes his first start of the year in his absence.

Hayes left Saturday's game against the Cubs with left wrist discomfort, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Hayes appeared to be in some pain after fouling a pitch off in the first inning and was checked out by team trainers after reaching first base on a walk. He initially stayed in the game and scored a run but was later replaced by Erik Gonzalez. It's possible the diagnosis changes following further tests.

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 He's since been replaced by Erik Gonzalez.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.
