Davis sits for the second game in a row Wednesday against the Rockies.

Davis remains on the bench despite slashing .350/.381/.500 in the month of September. Jeff McNeil starts in left field, with Todd Frazier at the hot corner.

Longoria went 2-for-4 with three walks and a run scored in Tuesday's 15-inning win over the Red Sox.

Longoria was an on-base machine for the Giants in this one, raising his on-base percentage to .329, the best we've seen from the slugger since 2013. The 33-year-old will likely never return to the numbers we saw during his days in Tampa Bay, but 2019 has been a respectable bounceback campaign with a .260/.329/.448 slash line through 120 games.

Davis isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Davis crashed into the outfield fence during Monday's contest, and even though he was able to remain in the game, he's dealing with some soreness Tuesday. Per Healey, Davis is expected to be OK and will be available off the bench in the second game of the series.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Cardinals.

His sixth-inning shot tied the score at 2-2, but the Nats couldn't muster any more offense after that. Rendon is slashing .321/.438/.604 through 15 games in September as he tries to keep his team in the wild-card picture, and on the season he's hitting .333 with 34 homers and 119 RBI -- all career highs -- as he steams towards a huge payday in free agency.

Escobar went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a walk to help the Diamondbacks to a 7-5 victory over the Marlins on Monday.

Escobar had gone hitless in his last seven at-bats coming into the contest, but he snapped out of it with his sixth-inning solo blast off Pablo Lopez. The 30-year-old's productive campaign at the dish continues, as he's up to 35 homers and 114 RBI on the season, both of which are easily career-best marks. He's also slashing .271/.322/.528 in 148 games.

McMahon went 3-for-5 with two homers, four RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Padres.

McMahon swatted a two-run shot in the third inning and later tacked on a solo blast in the eighth. It was his fourth multi-homer game this season, and he's up to 22 total in 2019. The 24-year-old infielder also boosted his OPS to .797 with 80 RBI.

Suarez went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo homers and a walk in a victory over Arizona on Sunday.

Suarez took Arizona starter Zac Gallen deep to center field in the fourth and sixth innings to account for the decisive margin of victory. The pair of long balls brought Suarez into a tie for first in the majors with 47 homers this season, 29 of which have come since the All-Star break. The 28-year-old has been especially productive in September, hitting .386 (17-for-44) with eight roundtrippers and 15 RBI in 44 at-bats.

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

Arenado will head to the bench after starting the last 22 games and posting a 1.318 OPS with nine home runs and 20 RBI in that stretch. Ryan McMahon will cover the hot corner Sunday while Garrett Hampson starts at second base.

Moustakas went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run homer in Saturday's win over the Cardinals.

Moustakas tied the game with a two-run shot off Jack Flaherty in the fourth inning, his 27th homer of the year. He's now gone 6-for-13 with three homers in four games since returning from a wrist injury.

Machado went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 11-10 loss to the Rockies.

Machado's blast came in the eighth inning off Rockies reliever Bryan Shaw to bring the Padres within a run, but they ultimately failed to tie the game. The blast cinched Machado's fifth consecutive 30-homer season. He's added 82 RBI, 78 runs scored and a .258/.335/.466 slash line in 144 games during 2019.
