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.

Rendon went 4-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Cubs.

Rendon opened the game's scoring with his solo blast in the fourth inning and was a menace to Cubs pitchers all afternoon. His slash line is up to .329/.407/.617 with 104 RBI and 67 extra-base hits.

Davis went 2-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's loss to the Braves.

Davis reached base three times in the series finale, though his team would fall 2-1. The 26-year-old was 0-for-11 at the dish over his last three contests, so a pair of base knocks could give him some momentum heading into the Mets' upcoming three-game series against the Cubs.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs Sunday against the Mets.

Donaldson provided Atlanta's only offense on the day, leaving the yard in the second and seventh innings of Sunday's series finally. Fortunately, it was just enough for his team to emerge with a 2-1 victory. The 33-year-old third baseman finished the weekend on a high note, collecting four base knocks (including three homers) over the last three contests.
