Rendon went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 4-0 win over the Giants.

It was a rare stolen base for Rendon; his second of the year matches his total from the 2018 season. Monday was also his second multi-hit outing over the last three days, bumping his slash line to .317/.402/.604 in 430 plate appearances.

Senzel went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Angels.

Senzel extended Cincinnati's lead to four in the first inning, plating a pair of runs on a single to right field. The 24-year-old has pieced together a .278/.335/.458 slash line with eight homers and 33 RBI over 75 games this season for the Reds.

Longoria is not in the lineup Monday against the Nationals.

Longoria returned from a three-week stay on the injured list Sunday, going 1-for-4 in what was his first game since July 14. He'll give way to Pablo Sandoval on Monday as the Giants look to ease him back into action.

Davis went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a walk Sunday in the Mets' 13-2 win over the Pirates.

Davis and Michael Conforto both left the yard in the top of the first inning to stake the Mets to an early lead they wouldn't relinquish. Victors of nine of their last 10 games, the Mets enter Monday's doubleheader versus the Marlins just one game under .500, with Davis' efforts during that stretch aiding the resurgence. Over the past 10 contests, Davis has gone 11-for-30 (.367 average) with two home runs, seven RBI, five runs and a 6:8 BB:K. He'll man left field and bat fifth in the first game of Monday's twin bill and should be locked into a full-time role for the duration of Dominic Smith's (foot) stay on the injured list.

Muncy went 4-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, three runs scored and three RBI in Sunday's walk-off win over San Diego.

Muncy put the Dodgers on the board with a solo shot in the second inning, but his biggest hit came with a pair of runners on base in the ninth. After battling Padres closer Kirby Yates to a full count and fouling off a pair of splitters, he lined a fastball into the right field corner to plate the winning runs. The walk-off hit was the first in the regular season in Muncy's career, though he cemented a spot in baseball lore with his 18th-inning walk-off homer to defeat Boston in game three of the World Series last year. Through 447 plate appearances this season, the 28-year-old is slashing .265/.371/.528 with 27 home runs and 74 runs batted in.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Giants.

Arenado launched his first homer in the first inning before tacking on an insurance run with his second long ball in the fifth frame. The perennial MVP candidate is up to 24 home runs in 2019. He's approaching his fifth straight season with at least 30 homers and 100 RBI.

Longoria (foot) was activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. He'll start at third base and bat fifth in the Giants' series finale with the Rockies.

Longoria landed on the IL with plantar fasciitis in mid-July and ended up spending just under three weeks on the shelf. The 33-year-old has a .241/.318/.446 slash line with 13 home runs in 83 games. He should immediately reclaim starting duties at the hot corner, sending Pablo Sandoval into a reserve role.

Escobar went 3-for-5 with a walk, two home runs and seven RBI in Saturday's 18-7 rout of the Nationals.

He got the Arizona offense rolling in the first inning with a two-run blast off Stephen Strasburg, then added a three-run shot in the eighth off Brian Dozier after Washington threw in the towel and began using position players on the mound. Escobar's seven RBI were a career high, while the offensive explosion ended a 12-game homer drought for the 30-year-old -- and gave him new career highs with 24 home runs and 88 RBI on the season.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 18-7 loss to the Diamondbacks.

It's the fourth time in the last nine games Rendon has driven in at least three runs. The 29-year-old is slashing .317/.402/.611 through 96 games this season with 24 homers -- already matching his total from last season, and one short of his career high -- and 84 RBI as he marches toward a career-best campaign, and free agency over the winter.

Longoria (foot) could return as soon as Sunday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria has been out for nearly three weeks with plantar fasciitis after initially expecting to require just a minimum-length stay. The Giants haven't officially given Sunday as his target return date but are apparently optimistic that he'll be back soon.
