Muncy went 1-for-3 with a grand slam, a walk and two runs in the Dodgers' 6-3 victory over the Padres on Tuesday.

Muncy provided the big blow in the game, hitting a grand slam in the fourth inning off Gerardo Reyes to account for four of his team's six runs. After bursting onto the scene with a 35-homer campaign last season, Muncy has shown it wasn't a fluke, with this latest blast giving him 34 long balls in 2019. He's also compiled a .249/.369/.515 slash line in 137 games.

Muncy (quadriceps) is starting at first base and hitting second Tuesday against the Padres.

Muncy missed a pair of games over the weekend with a quad injury, but he's been cleared to rejoin the starting nine following Monday's day off. The 29-year-old, who is hitting just .160 with a .490 OPS in six games since returning from the injured list, will look to turn things around Tuesday as he faces right-hander Ronald Bolanos.

McMahon is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

McMahon has hit just .185 in the month of September, but has at least chipped in with four homers. Garrett Hampson starts at second base Tuesday.

Senzel underwent surgery to repair his labrum Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Senzel finished his rookie season with a decent .256/.315/.427 slash line, adding 12 homers and 14 steals in 104 games. The Reds are hopeful that he'll be recovered from surgery by Opening Day, though it will be worth monitoring his progress over the offseason.

Longoria went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Braves.

Longoria was the first Giant bat to get to Dallas Keuchel in the sixth inning, and he even provided the insurance run to ensure victory for his club Sunday. The 33-year-old snapped a brief 0-for-11 dry spell with his two-hit performance, and is now slashing .255/.323/.438 with 19 homers and 67 RBI through 124 games.

Muncy (quadriceps) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Rockies, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Though Muncy was expected to re-enter the lineup for the series finale after sitting out Saturday's 4-2 loss, the Dodgers will instead err on the side of caution and keep him out for another game. With an off day coming Monday, Muncy will benefit from extra time to recover from the quad injury ahead of Tuesday's series opener in San Diego.

Machado is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Machado will get the day off Sunday with the Padres out of playoff contention. Seth Mejias-Brean will man the hot corner in Machado's place.

Newman is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Newman is hitting .297 in September, but he went 0-for-8 over his last two games, so manager Clint Hurdle decided to give him a break. Cole Tucker will get the start at shortstop Sunday afternoon.

Riley is in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Riley has not seen many starts in September, but with the Braves getting their regulars some rest in advance of the postseason, he has gotten more chances to play and will be in the lineup Sunday for the third time in four days.

Davis is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, according to Tim Healey of Newsday.

Davis has been a regular in left field since the All-Star break, but he has seen his playing time dip of late, with manager Mickey Callaway opting to use Todd Frazier more frequently at third base and moving Jeff McNeil to left as a result.
