Muncy (wrist) is scheduled to field groundballs Wednesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Muncy could return next week, and his resumption of baseball activities bodes well for that potential timeline. Assuming all goes well Wednesday, the 29-year-old is expected to advance to hitting shortly thereafter.

Anderson was placed on the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Anderson has already been shut down for the season after fracturing a finger on his left hand, so this move simply clears up a roster spot.

Moustakas was removed from Monday's game against the Astros in the ninth inning after experiencing pain in his left wrist, which is why he's not starting Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Moustakas was cleared to enter Monday's starting lineup, though he was unable to make it through the entire game. He'll be considered day-to-day until another update on his status is provided.

Kieboom isn't expected to be promoted from Triple-A Fresno during the final month of the season, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.

Kieboom will head to West Palm Beach to see at-bats in case he does need to be called up, though the Nationals are unlikely to promote the prospect unless there's an injury. He made his big-league debut earlier this year, going 5-for-39 with two home runs and four walks over 11 games.

Moustakas isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

Moustakas was given the green light to return Monday after missing time due to a wrist injury, so he's likely receiving Tuesday off as a precaution. Travis Shaw draws the start at the hot corner and will bat sixth.

Newman (leg) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Newman was held out of Sunday's matchup due to leg tightness, and even after benefitting from an off day Monday, he'll be held out of the starting lineup again Tuesday. It's unknown if he'll be available off the bench.

Segura (personal) is on his way to Cincinnati and should be available off the bench Tuesday against the Reds, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Segura flew to the Dominican Republic following the passing of his grandmother, and while he's not in Tuesday's starting nine, he'll likely arrive to the ballpark in time to be available if needed.

Davis isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Washington.

Davis collected three base knocks during Monday's series opener, but he's in line for a night off. Jeff McNeil shifts to left field and will bat leadoff.

Segura (personal) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Segura remains away from the team while in the Dominican Republic. Scott Kingery draws another start at shortstop and will bat seventh.

Suarez (hand) isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Suarez left Sunday's game against the Cardinals after taking a pitch off his left hand, and while X-rays came back negative, he'll be held out for a second straight day. It's unclear if he'll be available to pinch hit off the bench.
