Suarez was diagnosed with a left thumb sprain after leaving Friday's game against St. Louis, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Suarez's X-rays returned negative, so he managed to avoid any structural damage. He'll likely be reevaluated upon his arrival at the ballpark Saturday to determine his status moving forward.

Suarez left Friday's game against the Cardinals with an apparent injury, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Suarez appeared to suffer a hand or wrist injury while making a tag at third base, and he had to leave the game as a result. He's likely headed for further testing.

Longoria went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Thursday's win over Arizona.

Longoria plated the first two runs of the game with a single in the first inning and connected for a two-run blast to left field in the fifth. The 33-year-old has been on a tear over his last five games, batting .500 (10-for-20) with a pair of long balls and nine RBI over that stretch.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in the Braves' 10-8 loss to the Mets on Thursday.

Donaldson inched closer to the 30-homer mark with two more long balls in this contest, first touching up Marcus Stroman with a sixth-inning solo shot before adding another off Drew Gagnon in the ninth. That brings the veteran up to 28 long balls on the season, to go along with his excellent .265/.382/.527 slash line across 505 plate appearances.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Dodgers.

Anderson began a big offensive day for the Marlins with an RBI single in the first inning. He was hardly done however, delivering a two-RBI double in the fifth inning. Anderson has swung the bat well of late, recording at least one hit in nine of his last 11 starts, racking up three homers, 10 RBI and scored eight runs. For the season, he's hitting.255/.337/.469 across 493 plate appearances.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Thursday against the Marlins.

Muncy took Jose Quijada deep in the seventh inning, notching his 29th homer of the season. He's in the midst of a modest five-game hitting streak, recording four extra-base hits in that span. Muncy has remained consistent in his production and is pacing to both drive in and score more than 100 runs. With a .259/.370/.520 line to supplement his counting stats, Muncy is turning in quite an encore to his breakout 2018 campaign.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 17-7 rout of the Reds.

It was a remarkably balanced attack from the Nats, as every starting position player got on base multiple times and scored exactly twice. Rendon is now slashing .326/.365/.565 through 12 games in August, and Wednesday's long ball was his 26th of the season -- setting a new career high for the 29-year-old.

Arenado went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Arenado ambushed Archie Bradley on the first pitch of his at-bat and hit a 423-foot blast to win the game for the Rockies. The 28-year-old has a .277/.323/.491 slash line with seven home runs in 31 games since the All-Star break.

McMahon is not starting Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

McMahon will take a seat on the bench for Wednesday's series finale with left-hander Robbie Ray starting for Arizona. In his place, Garrett Hampson is starting at the keystone and hitting seventh.

Moustakas went 1-for-5 with a double in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Twins.

After opening August with four consecutive two-hit outings, Moustakas has fallen into a 4-for-30 tailspin at the plate in the Brewers' subsequent seven contests. He'll remain in the lineup as the Brewers' No. 5 hitter in the series finale Wednesday and has built up enough goodwill at this point to be in no danger of surrendering his everyday role. Manager Craig Counsell may look to give Moustakas an off day soon if the slump continues for much longer, however.
