After visiting a specialist, it's been determined that Anderson will not require surgery on his left hand, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Anderson suffered a broken finger in his left hand Friday after being struck by a pitch, and while he's already been ruled out for the remainder of the season, it's positive news that he'll be able to avoid surgery. He should be ready for the start of spring training.

Moustakas (wrist) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against St. Louis.

Moustakas' X-rays came back negative after he took a grounder off his wrist Monday night, but as expected, he'll be held out of the second game of the series. Cory Spangenberg starts at the hot corner and is batting seventh.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a two-run walk-off home run in a 3-1 victory against the Braves on Monday.

The Rockies blew a 1-0 lead in the top of the ninth but still won thanks to McMahon. He hit his homer with one out and a man on first base. This was his first home run since hitting a pair against the Marlins on Aug. 17. He is batting .264 with 18 home runs, 68 RBI, 58 runs and five steals in 382 at-bats this season.

X-rays on Moustakas' left wrist came back negative, though he's unlikely to play Tuesday against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Moustakas took a grounder off his wrist in the field during Monday night's matchup, though he appears to have avoided a significant injury. Even so, the Brewers are expected to hold him out of Tuesday's matchup as a precaution.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-3 win over the Marlins on Monday.

Suarez singled in the third inning and crushed a solo home run in the eighth inning off of the video board in left field. A day after setting a new career-high for homers, Suarez continues to add to his total. The 28-year-old has 36 home runs and is hitting .256/.338/.528 in 539 at-bats this season.

Moustakas left Monday night's game against the Cardinals after taking a grounder off his left wrist, Sophia Minnaert of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.

According to Robert Murray of The Athletic, Moustakas left the matchup with "left palm and wrist pain," and he's likely headed for X-rays. More information on his status should emerge after the game.

Suarez went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday in the Reds' 9-8 loss to the Pirates.

Before taking Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez deep in the ninth inning, Suarez had managed only three hits and struck out 14 times in his last 26 at-bats. Suarez's elevated 28.3 percent strikeout rate has resulted in a nearly 30-point drop in his batting average from 2018, but the third baseman hasn't sacrificed anything in the power department. The home run was his 35th of the season, establishing a new career high in the category.

Senzel (thumb) is back in the lineup Monday against Miami.

Senzel sat for two straight games due to a sore thumb, though he did appear off the bench in Sunday's contest. He'll bat eighth and serve as the center fielder Monday.

Riley (knee) advanced his rehab to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Riley has been out with a knee sprain since early August. He's played three rehab games thus far, all with Low-A Rome, going 2-for-10 at the plate. He appears to be on track to return to Atlanta once rosters expand at the start of September.

Farmer went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a 9-8 loss against the Pirates on Sunday.

Entering as a pinch hitter in the fourth inning, Farmer singled and then stayed in the game as part of a double switch. He homered in his next at-bat. Farmer is batting .253 with eight home runs, 25 RBI, 20 runs and four steals in 150 at-bats this season.
