Suarez, who is out of the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Phillies, said he underwent an MRI on his injured left hand earlier in the day, John Fay of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The results of Suarez's tests probably won't be known until later in the day, but the fact that he required an MRI hints that the third baseman could be dealing with more than a day-to-day concern. On a more positive note, Suarez indicated that his hand felt a lot better than it did Monday, specifically noting that he's regained full movement. Kyle Farmer picked up the start at the hot corner Monday and could end up serving as the primary option at the position if Suarez needs to be shut down.

Moustakas (wrist) will start at third base and bat cleanup Monday against the Astros.

After sitting out the Brewers' previous five games on account of the wrist issue, Moustakas gained clearance to re-enter the starting nine after completing a successful live batting practice session Sunday, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Moustakas may don protective padding on his sore left wrist in his return to the lineup, but the issue isn't expected to routinely cost him starts in the final month of the season.

Segura (personal) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

Segura left the team prior to Sunday's 5-2 win over the Mets and didn't make the trip to Cincinnati with the big club after learning about the death of his grandmother. The shortstop reportedly flew to the Dominican Republic to be with his family, so it wouldn't be surprising if he missed most -- if not all -- of the four-game set with the Reds. Segura's absence will allow Brad Miller to pick up a second straight start at third base while Scott Kingery moves over to shortstop.

Sosa was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Sosa gets the call-up from the Redbirds following a season during which he slashed .291/.335/.466 with 40 extra-base hits (18 doubles, five triples, 17 home runs) and 62 RBI across 496 plate appearances. It's Sosa's second major-league stint of 2019, as he was up for three games earlier in the season and notched a single over three plate appearances. The 23-year-old shortstop will serve as depth behind Paul DeJong for the balance of the regular season.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs Sunday in the Nationals' 9-3 win over the Marlins.

Rendon is currently enjoying one of his hottest offensive stretches of the season, as he'll enter Monday's series opener versus the Mets with four consecutive multi-hit performances on his ledger. The third baseman -- who will bat third Monday -- will also carry a 17-game on-base streak into the contest. During that stretch, Rendon has slashed .449/.512/.855 with seven home runs, 18 runs and 21 RBI.

Farmer is starting at third base in place of Eugenio Suarez on Monday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Suarez got hit on the left hand by a pitch Sunday night and is still waiting for the swelling to go down so that the team can take X-rays.

Suarez (hand) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. The quote from Suarez after the game was ominous: "I don't feel good about this, but I understand this is baseball," Suarez said. "This is how they pitched me. He got me on my hand. I just want to say put everything on God and see if I'm back this year."

After connecting on his 40th home run of the season in the first half of Sunday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, Suarez was in the lineup again for the nightcap, but his start ended early when he was struck in the back of the left hand with a pitch. Suarez will be sent in for X-rays later Monday, as soon as the swelling on his hand goes down. Kyle Farmer is starting in his place at third base in the series opener.

Longoria went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-4 loss to San Diego.

Longoria finished off his torrid month of August (.345/.372/.529) with a bang, going yard for the 18th time this season. The 33-year-old has turned back the clock recently, recording a hit in 21 of his last 23 contests. Longoria's overall line still sits at a pedestrian .266/.331/.466 on the year, but he is clearly locked into a prolonged hot streak that warrants attention from fantasy owners in almost any format until he cools back down.

Senzel went 1-for-7 with a solo home run and a walk in a doubleheader split against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Senzel was shut down in Game 1 but made his only hit of the twin bill count in Game 2, smashing a 422-foot homer to left field in the fifth inning to knot the score at three. The rookie has put together a promising but unspectacular first season, slashing .255/.316/.429 with 12 homers, 42 RBI and 14 steals in 99 games.

Suarez left the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals after being hit by a pitch on the back of his left hand, Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Suarez hit his 40th home run of the season in the matinee. Hopefully he'll have a chance to build on that number. After being plunked by a 93 mph fastball, Suarez was in visible pain and slammed his helmet as he began walking down the dugout steps. He will be examined in Cincinnati on Monday, per Nightengale.
