Suarez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-3 win over the Marlins on Monday.

Suarez singled in the third inning and crushed a solo home run in the eighth inning off of the video board in left field. A day after setting a new career-high for homers, Suarez continues to add to his total. The 28-year-old has 36 home runs and is hitting .256/.338/.528 in 539 at-bats this season.

Moustakas left Monday night's game against the Cardinals after taking a grounder off his left wrist, Sophia Minnaert of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.

According to Robert Murray of The Athletic, Moustakas left the matchup with "left palm and wrist pain," and he's likely headed for X-rays. More information on his status should emerge after the game.

Suarez went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday in the Reds' 9-8 loss to the Pirates.

Before taking Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez deep in the ninth inning, Suarez had managed only three hits and struck out 14 times in his last 26 at-bats. Suarez's elevated 28.3 percent strikeout rate has resulted in a nearly 30-point drop in his batting average from 2018, but the third baseman hasn't sacrificed anything in the power department. The home run was his 35th of the season, establishing a new career high in the category.

Senzel (thumb) is back in the lineup Monday against Miami.

Senzel sat for two straight games due to a sore thumb, though he did appear off the bench in Sunday's contest. He'll bat eighth and serve as the center fielder Monday.

Riley (knee) advanced his rehab to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Riley has been out with a knee sprain since early August. He's played three rehab games thus far, all with Low-A Rome, going 2-for-10 at the plate. He appears to be on track to return to Atlanta once rosters expand at the start of September.

Farmer went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a 9-8 loss against the Pirates on Sunday.

Entering as a pinch hitter in the fourth inning, Farmer singled and then stayed in the game as part of a double switch. He homered in his next at-bat. Farmer is batting .253 with eight home runs, 25 RBI, 20 runs and four steals in 150 at-bats this season.

Newman went 4-for-4 with a double, RBI, two steals and three runs in a 9-8 victory against the Reds on Sunday.

His third four-hit day of the season pushed his average back above .300. Average is where he excels the most, but Newman is an all-around solid contributor. He has 25 extra-base hits, including seven home runs, 44 RBI, 40 runs and 13 steals in 374 at-bats this season.

Arenado went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-4 loss to the Cardinals.

Arenado's fifth-inning homer was his 11th of August, giving him 33 for 2019. It also lifted him to the 100-RBI mark for the fifth straight season. The 28-year-old remains one of the best names in fantasy baseball.

Longoria went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over Oakland.

Longoria launched a solo homer off starter Brett Anderson in the third inning and later drove in the game-winning run with his two-RBI single in the seventh. The 33-year-old third baseman has launched 10 homers since the start of July, raising his OPS from .671 to .792 in the process.

Machado went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's win over Boston.

Machado plated a pair of runs with a two-run shot off Brian Johnson in the first inning. The long ball was his first since July 30, a span of 83 at-bats. The 27-year-old is slashing .266/.336/.473 with 27 homers and 73 RBI in 538 plate appearances this season.
