Manager Craig Counsell said he expects Moustakas (wrist) to play this weekend in Chicago, though he noted the infielder may not be ready for Friday's series opener, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Moustakas has missed the past two games with a sore left wrist, but it sounds like he'll be ready to rejoin the lineup over the weekend after getting another day -- the Brewers are off Thursday -- or two to recover. The soon-to-be 31-year-old is slashing .284/.348/.531 with five home runs in 21 games this month.

Moustakas (wrist) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

The Brewers will let Moustakas rest up through Thursday's off day while he tends to a sore left wrist, which he sustained after he was struck by a grounder in Monday's series opener with St. Louis. With Moustakas on the bench for a second straight day, Cory Spangenberg will draw another start at the hot corner and bat seventh.

Arenado went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in a loss to Boston on Tuesday.

Arenado plated a run with a double in the fifth inning and drilled a two-run homer to left field in the ninth. The 28-year-old has been on a long ball binge in August, trailing only Gleyber Torres with 12 home runs this month. Arenado continues to be one of the most reliable offensive forces in baseball, slashing .308/.368/.573 with 34 homers and 103 RBI this season.

Suarez went 3-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Marlins.

Suarez took Caleb Smith deep in the first inning to record his 37th homer of the season. He has swung a hot bat of late, going yard in three consecutive games while also racking up four long balls in his past 10 contests. For the season, he's now hitting .260/.340/.537 across 544 plate appearances.

Davis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Cubs.

Davis took Brandon Kintzler deep in the ninth inning to record his 16th homer of the season. He did also whiff twice, giving him multiple strikeouts in three of his past four starts. Though he still has strong overall numbers, Davis has slowed down at the plate over the past 10 games, recording just two multi-hit games and two extra-base hits in that span.

Senzel went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base Tuesday against the Marlins.

Senzel's big day at the dish was highlighted by a two-run homer in the sixth inning, his 11th of the season. He also chipped in a stolen base in the fourth frame, his 14th for the campaign. Entering the contest, Senzel had managed just a .195/.233/.293 line across 85 plate appearances in August. However, he's now recorded consecutive multi-hit efforts and has also swiped bases in both of those contests.

After visiting a specialist, it's been determined that Anderson will not require surgery on his left hand, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Anderson suffered a broken finger in his left hand Friday after being struck by a pitch, and while he's already been ruled out for the remainder of the season, it's positive news that he'll be able to avoid surgery. He should be ready for the start of spring training.

Moustakas (wrist) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against St. Louis.

Moustakas' X-rays came back negative after he took a grounder off his wrist Monday night, but as expected, he'll be held out of the second game of the series. Cory Spangenberg starts at the hot corner and is batting seventh.

McMahon went 1-for-4 with a two-run walk-off home run in a 3-1 victory against the Braves on Monday.

The Rockies blew a 1-0 lead in the top of the ninth but still won thanks to McMahon. He hit his homer with one out and a man on first base. This was his first home run since hitting a pair against the Marlins on Aug. 17. He is batting .264 with 18 home runs, 68 RBI, 58 runs and five steals in 382 at-bats this season.

X-rays on Moustakas' left wrist came back negative, though he's unlikely to play Tuesday against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Moustakas took a grounder off his wrist in the field during Monday night's matchup, though he appears to have avoided a significant injury. Even so, the Brewers are expected to hold him out of Tuesday's matchup as a precaution.
