Davis isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Davis crashed into the outfield fence during Monday's contest, and even though he was able to remain in the game, he's dealing with some soreness Tuesday. Per Healey, Davis is expected to be OK and will be available off the bench in the second game of the series.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Cardinals.

His sixth-inning shot tied the score at 2-2, but the Nats couldn't muster any more offense after that. Rendon is slashing .321/.438/.604 through 15 games in September as he tries to keep his team in the wild-card picture, and on the season he's hitting .333 with 34 homers and 119 RBI -- all career highs -- as he steams towards a huge payday in free agency.

Escobar went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a walk to help the Diamondbacks to a 7-5 victory over the Marlins on Monday.

Escobar had gone hitless in his last seven at-bats coming into the contest, but he snapped out of it with his sixth-inning solo blast off Pablo Lopez. The 30-year-old's productive campaign at the dish continues, as he's up to 35 homers and 114 RBI on the season, both of which are easily career-best marks. He's also slashing .271/.322/.528 in 148 games.

McMahon went 3-for-5 with two homers, four RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Padres.

McMahon swatted a two-run shot in the third inning and later tacked on a solo blast in the eighth. It was his fourth multi-homer game this season, and he's up to 22 total in 2019. The 24-year-old infielder also boosted his OPS to .797 with 80 RBI.

Suarez went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo homers and a walk in a victory over Arizona on Sunday.

Suarez took Arizona starter Zac Gallen deep to center field in the fourth and sixth innings to account for the decisive margin of victory. The pair of long balls brought Suarez into a tie for first in the majors with 47 homers this season, 29 of which have come since the All-Star break. The 28-year-old has been especially productive in September, hitting .386 (17-for-44) with eight roundtrippers and 15 RBI in 44 at-bats.

Arenado is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Arenado will head to the bench after starting the last 22 games and posting a 1.318 OPS with nine home runs and 20 RBI in that stretch. Ryan McMahon will cover the hot corner Sunday while Garrett Hampson starts at second base.

Moustakas went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run homer in Saturday's win over the Cardinals.

Moustakas tied the game with a two-run shot off Jack Flaherty in the fourth inning, his 27th homer of the year. He's now gone 6-for-13 with three homers in four games since returning from a wrist injury.

Machado went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 11-10 loss to the Rockies.

Machado's blast came in the eighth inning off Rockies reliever Bryan Shaw to bring the Padres within a run, but they ultimately failed to tie the game. The blast cinched Machado's fifth consecutive 30-homer season. He's added 82 RBI, 78 runs scored and a .258/.335/.466 slash line in 144 games during 2019.

Machado received treatment on his left arm Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Machado was hit by a curveball in a pinch-hit appearance Thursday. The process he underwent Friday included receiving electrical impulses to stimulate blood flow and promote healing. Despite the treatment, Machado is playing third base and batting third Saturday and is not expected to miss any time.

Newman went 3-for-5 with a triple and a double in a 14-1 defeat by the Cubs on Saturday.

Newman has hit safely in his last eight games, going 14-for-37 (.378), and in the bigger picture he's contributed 10 home runs and 15 stolen bases this season. The 26-year-old is slashing .318/.365/.455 over 440 at-bats and has 35 extra-base hits this season.
