Rendon went 4-for-5 with two runs scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

Rendon didn't improve on his 90 RBI or 58 extra-base hits, but the four-hit day bumped his slash line to .320/.404/.607 as he remains one of the most lethal batters of 2019. It was his first four-hit game since June of last season, and he's now 12-for-34 (.353) with seven runs scored in August.

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

This is the first game he has missed since July 25. He is hitting .346 with four home runs in 14 straight starts. Ryan McMahon will start at third base and hit fifth.

Longoria went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Phillies.

Longoria was moved down to fifth in the order after going 0-for-5 in Friday's loss, but the veteran responded with his 14th long ball of the season. It was the 33-year-old's first homer since returning from the injured list Aug. 4, and he has gone 6-for-23 (.261) in six starts over that span.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Padres.

His solo shot in the fourth inning extended his current hitting streak to a modest seven games, during which Arenado is slashing .417/.444/.917 with four homers and six RBI. The All-Star third baseman is having another impressive fantasy campaign, hitting .308 with 26 home runs, 87 RBI and 75 runs through 116 games.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Saturday's 4-0 win over Arizona.

Muncy took starter Alex Young deep in the second inning on a 428-foot blast that landed in the center field seats. He also came around to score on a Russell Martin single in the fourth inning after getting aboard with a walk. Muncy is hitting .260/.370/.519 with 28 homers, 76 RBI and 78 run scored in 114 games this season.

Rendon went 2-for-5 with a triple, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored Friday night against the Mets.

Rendon knocked home a run in the fourth inning with a triple to right center, and he cranked a two-run homer in the seventh to give his club the lead. He continues to impress this season in Washington, slashing .315/.400/.608 with 25 homers and 90 RBI over 101 contests.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.

His fourth-inning blast off Yu Darvish proved to be the winning run on the night. Suarez now has 31 homers on the season, with 11 of them coming in 27 games since the All-Star break -- a stretch during which the 28-year-old is slashing a robust .284/.381/.674.

Rendon (toe) is in the lineup and hitting third Friday against the Mets, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

He left Wednesday's game after getting hit in the right big toe by a pitch, but after Thursday's off day he is ready to take the field. Rendon is 5-for-20 with one home run in six August games.

Longoria went 2-for-4 in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Phillies.

Longoria has gone 4-for-15 with a double in four games since being activated off the injured list Aug. 4. More importantly, he has only been benched in favor of Pablo Sandoval once since his return. The latter has been the more productive bat at the hot corner for the Giants this season, but Longoria's albatross of a contract (he's currently in the third year of a six-year, $100 million deal) may keep him in an everyday role despite his declining production (.242/.316/.440). The 33-year-old does have 13 homers through 87 games, which may be enough to warrant deep mixed and NL-only consideration.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI during Thursday's 9-2 win over the Braves.

Anderson blasted a solo home run in the first inning before adding a two-run shot to help his club pull away in the fourth. The 26-year-old has found his power stroke of late, with four homers, three doubles and five RBI over his last six games. Anderson will look to keep it up over the rest of the weekend series in Atlanta.
