Arenado's absence from the lineup Saturday against the Brewers is due to side soreness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

The Rockies have nothing left to play for this season, so Arenado could sit Sunday as well, even if the injury is quite minor. If Arenado's season is indeed done, he'll end the year with career highs in batting average (.315), on-base percentage (.379) and OPS (.962) while posting his lowest strikeout rate (14.0 percent) since 2014. His 41 homers are just one shy of his career high and represent the third time he's reached the 40-homer mark.

Moustakas (elbow) is back in the lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado.

Moustakas sat for the last two games with an elbow issue but is ready to go following a brief absence. He'll bat third and play third base Saturday.

Arenado is not in the lineup Saturday against the Brewers.

Arenado has posted typically strong numbers down the stretch, hitting .370/.469/.667 with four homers over his last 14 games. He'll get a rest Saturday, with Ryan McMahon sliding over to third base and Garrett Hampson starting at second.

Segura (ankle) will sit again Saturday against the Marlins.

Segura hits the bench for the second straight game after leaving Thursday's contest with a sprained ankle. It's possible that he's already played his final game of the year. Sean Rodriguez starts at shortstop Saturday.

Machado went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Machado's game-tying blast came in the sixth inning off reliever Matt Andriese. The slugger is up to 31 homers, 83 RBI and 80 runs scored while slashing .253/.332/.455 in 154 games this season.

Newman went 2-for-4 with a walkoff home run, five RBI and a walk during a 6-5 victory against the Reds on Friday.

The 26-year-old delivered his fourth walkoff moment (one was an actual walk) of the season with a two-run blast in the ninth. Newman came into the night with just one home run at home this year, but his two long balls propelled the Pirates to a fifth straight win. Newman is batting .310 with 12 home runs, 64 RBI, 61 runs and 16 steals in 484 at-bats this season.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's victory over the Brewers.

McMahon extended the Rockies' lead with a home run -- his 24th of the season -- in the seventh inning. Overall, the 24-year-old is slashing .252/.331/.456 with 83 RBI and 70 runs scored.

Davis went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run homer in Friday's win over Atlanta.

Davis put his team ahead in the fourth inning with his 21st long ball of the 2019 campaign. The 26-year-old is slashing .307/.368/.522 over 138 contests.

Donaldson went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Friday's loss to the Mets.

Donaldson kicked off the scoring in this one with an RBI single to right field, but Atlanta would fall 4-2. The 33-year-old is slashing .260/.380/.524 with 37 home runs and 94 RBI over 155 games in 2019.

Moustakas isn't in Friday's lineup against Colorado due to a sore right elbow, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

It was announced prior to Friday's series opener that the third baseman is nursing an elbow issue, which is why he's sitting for the second straight day. He'll be considered day-to-day moving forward but will be available off the bench if needed.
