Davis is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Davis will head to the bench for the third time in the last four games after slashing .219/.250/.370 over 24 games in May. Todd Frazier will start at third base while Dominic Smith gets another start in left field.

Muncy went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a second run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.

Muncy has homered in two of his last three games. The infielder has gone 13-for-41 in his last 10 games with three homers, 12 runs scored and six RBI in that span. The two-hit night raises Muncy's line to .275/.368/.524 in 189 at-bats this season.

Arenado went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and three RBI in Friday's 13-6 rout of the Blue Jays.

The third baseman has now hit safely in 11 straight games, slashing a spectacular .500/.560/.864 over that stretch with four homers and 15 RBI. Arenado is on pace for his best season yet -- his 1.029 OPS through 55 games is 70 points better than the career-high mark he put together in 2017.

Senzel went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's win over Washington.

Senzel plated a run in the bottom of the third inning on a sacrifice fly to left field, registering his 12th RBI of the season. He's found his groove at the dish of late, extending his hitting streak to nine games following Friday evening's performance.

Davis is not starting Friday against the Diamondbacks, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Davis has gone just 5-for-34 at the plate over his last 10 games. Dominic Smith will get the start in left field.

Vargas is not starting Friday against the Mets.

Vargas had started six of eight games heading into Friday's contest, hitting .370 over that stretch. Ketel Marte starts at second base in his absence, with Jarrod Dyson starting in center field.

Suarez (hand) is starting at third base and batting third Friday versus the Nationals.

Suarez suffered a left hand bruise on a hit-by-pitch Wednesday, but X-rays came back negative, allowing him to make a quick return to the lineup. The 27-year-old found his stride in May with a .327/.398/.614 slash line that includes eight doubles, seven homers and 23 RBI.

Moustakas went 4-for-6 with two home runs, four RBI and two runs scored during Thursday's 11-5 win over the Pirates.

Moustakas did plenty of damage early in this one, hitting a two-run home run in the first inning before dispatching a solo shot to right in the third. He then capped off his first four-hit effort of the season with an RBI single in the eighth. Moustakas was just 1-for-11 over his previous three games and will look to build on this bounce-back effort.

Escobar went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, three RBI and a pair of runs in the Diamondbacks' 11-10 defeat to the Rockies on Thursday.

Escobar continued his recent tear, touching up Mike Dunn in the eighth inning for a two-run blast to give him 14 on the season. He's slashing .286/.347/.558 through 224 at-bats and is on track to comfortably surpass his career high of 23 long balls, which he set last season.

McMahon went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and two runs to help the Rockies to an 11-10 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

It was the sixth long ball of the season for the 24-year-old, who tagged T.J. McFarland with a two-run blast in the third inning. The big performance brings McMahon's slash line up to .260/.356/.449 through 127 at-bats.
