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.

Moustakas isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Colorado.

Moustakas will head to the bench for the second straight contest, which is odd considering the Brewers are currently pushing for a division title. There's been no word of an injury for the starting third baseman at this point, however. Cory Spangenberg draws the start at the hot corner and is set to bat seventh.

Segura (ankle) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins.

Segura sustained the right ankle sprain during Thursday's game against the Nationals, so it's no surprise to see him withheld from Friday's starting nine. The 29-year-old seems like a decent bet to be done for the season with only a couple games left on the schedule and the Phillies out of playoff contention. Scott Kingery will start at shortstop in the series opener while Maikel Franco takes over at the hot corner.

Segura was removed from Thursday's game against the Nationals with a right ankle sprain, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

Segura went 1-for-2 before exiting with the injury prior to the bottom of the fifth inning. With just three games left in the season and the Phillies out of playoff contention, Segura could be done for the year. Sean Rodriguez entered the game in his place.

Moustakas is not in Thursday's lineup against the Reds.

The Brewers are also resting veterans Ryan Braun and Lorenzo Cain after clinching a playoff spot Wednesday. Travis Shaw will start at third base and bat sixth.

Suarez is not in Thursday's lineup against the Brewers.

He will head to the bench a day after hitting his 49th long ball of the year. Manager David Bell said Wednesday that it would be nice to get Suarez to the 50-home-run plateau, so he should be back in action this weekend against the Pirates.

Donaldson went 3-for-6 with three doubles, four RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Royals.

The 33-year-old's trio of doubles marked a career-high as he drove in four runs to help lift the National League East champion Braves to victory. Donaldson now has 33 doubles, 37 home runs and 96 runs scored on the season while batting .258/.378/.523.

Suarez went 2-for-3 with a walk and solo home run Wednesday against the Brewers.

Suarez launched his 49th home run of the season in the first inning off Jordan Lyles. He continues to swing the bat incredibly well, collecting hits in nine of his last 11 starts and smacking four homers in his last nine contests. Even given the current advantageous environment for hitters, Suarez's season stands out as he's likely to join Pete Alonso in surpassing 50 home runs before the campaign comes to a close.

Machado is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Machado will be out of the lineup for the second time in three games as the Padres look to evaluate their roster for next season. Ty France is starting at third base Wednesday in Machado's stead.

Rendon is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies.

Rendon will be rewarded with what appears to be a regular day off after the Nationals a clinched a spot in the playoffs Tuesday. The veteran third baseman is hitting just .182 over his past 10 games, though he owns an impressive 10:3 BB:K over that stretch. Asdrubal Cabrera is covering the hot corner in his place, with Brian Dozier starting at second base.
