Davis went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in a 3-0 victory against the Pirates on Saturday.

The 26-year-old accounted for half of the Mets offense with his two hits. Davis has multiple hits in each of his last five games where he registered at least two at-bats. He's batting .297 with 10 home runs, 28 RBI and 32 runs in 236 at-bats this season.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 3-1 victory against the Rockies on Saturday.

The 28-year-old is having a great month, particularly in the home run category. He has 11 homers in 75 at-bats, giving him 28 on the season. Suarez is also 9-for-23 (.391) in his last seven contests. The great month has placed him well on the way to setting a career high in the home run department; Suarez hit a career-best 34 homers last year. He is batting .255 with 46 extra-base hits, 69 RBI, 55 runs and two steals in 373 at-bats this season.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Longoria (foot) could rejoin the Giants in 10-14 days, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The Giants previously indicated Longoria could be activated during the current road trip -- which runs through Aug. 4 -- but that no longer appears to be the case. The veteran third baseman moved to the injured list in mid-July with a strained plantar fascia in his left foot, and he only just began a running program Saturday. Pablo Sandoval will continue to see the bulk of starts at third base.

Riley is not in the lineup Saturday against the Phillies.

Riley is hitting just .169 with a 41.5 percent strikeout rate this month (18 games), so he'll head to the bench for the third time in as many games as Ender Inciarte picks up another start in the outfield in his stead.

Senzel (dizziness) is starting at home against the Rockies on Saturday and batting sixth.

The 24-year-old returns to the Reds' lineup after experiencing dizziness and being removed from Wednesday's game against the Brewers. Since the All-Star break, he's recorded a slash line of .361/.439/.528 with one steal in 11 games.

Segura went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Braves.

Segura suffered a heel injury during Sunday's clash, and he was forced to miss two games as a result, but he was able to rejoin the starting nine for the series opener. He later proved his health by smashing a solo homer to left in the seventh inning. The 29-year-old shortstop has pieced together a .277/.321/.440 slash line with 11 homers and 44 RBI over 91 contests in 2019.

Newman is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets, Nubyjas Wilborn of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Newman started the last four contests but makes his way to the bench Friday after going 3-for-18 in that stretch. Jung Ho Kang will start at shortstop and bat seventh for the Pirates.

Riley is not in the lineup for Friday's game at Philadelphia.

Riley is on the bench for the second straight contest and for the fourth time in the last seven games. The Braves undoubtedly want to get the young slugger back on track -- he's hitting .172 with a 41.3 percent strikeout rate in July -- but Ender Inciate will start again in the outfield Friday.

Segura (heel) is starting at shortstop and batting second Friday versus the Braves.

Segura was held out of the lineup the last two games after exiting Sunday's contest with heel soreness, but he's ready to go for Friday's series opener. The 29-year-old is off to a slow start in the second half with a .515 OPS in 32 at-bats.

Senzel (illness) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

Senzel was removed from Wednesday's game versus the Brewers after experiencing dizziness during his first at-bat. The 24-year-old has battled vertigo throughout his career, so it's not a major surprise to see him receive some additional time off. Josh VanMeter, Jesse Winker and Yasiel Puig will start in the outfield from left to right for the Reds. According to Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Senzel felt a bit better Friday morning and may be available off the bench.
