    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: New career high in homers

    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 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.
