Suarez went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in a 6-5 win over the Brewers on Monday.

Suarez hit a two-run home run on the first pitch in his fourth at-bat and played hero with another two-run blast in the ninth inning that put the Reds ahead for good. Suarez continues to mash in July, posting a .263/.343/.684 slash line with nine home runs.

Senzel (hamstring) is back in action Monday against the Brewers.

Senzel has been out of the lineup for three straight games but appeared off the bench in both games over the weekend. He'll return to center field and bat leadoff Monday.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's victory over Washington.

Donaldson swatted a 432-foot home run to left field in the sixth inning, then singled in another run in the seventh. The impressive outing continued Donaldson's productive July in which he has compiled a 1.221 OPS along with eight homers and 18 runs batted in. After a pair of injury-plagued seasons, the 33-year-old has enjoyed a resurgent 2019, slashing .256/.374/.521 with 23 homers and 58 RBI in 340 at-bats.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk during Sunday's 9-0 win over the Marlins.

Muncy gave his club an early lead with a two-run home run to left center in the first inning. He later walked and scored a run, giving him his fourth multi-run effort in the last six games. Muncy also has three home runs to go along with six RBI during that span. The Dodgers head into their next series at home against the Angels.

Segura was removed from Sunday's contest against the Pirates with heel soreness, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

The injury was likely an aggravation of the heel injury Segura suffered July 15. He was forced to miss two games prior to returning for the team's series finale Thursday against the Dodgers. Scott Kingery shifted to shortstop to replace Segura while Nick Williams entered the game to play left field.

Riley is not in the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

Riley has now been relegated to the bench in two of the team's last four games thanks to the return of Ender Inciarte. However, Riley hasn't helped his cause by hitting just .170/.224/.302 across 58 plate appearances in July. Inciarte is starting in Riley's place, manning center field and batting eighth.

Senzel (hamstring) is available off the bench Sunday against the Cardinals, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Senzel remains out of the starting lineup Sunday but will be available off the bench for the second consecutive contest. Manager David Bell indicated that he was playing it safe by not starting Senzel, meaning he could be close to a return to the lineup.

Senzel (hamstring) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Senzel was used as a pinch runner Saturday and remained in the game to play defense, but he is apparently not ready to play all nine innings yet. Jesse Winker will start in center field while leading off.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

His eighth-inning blast off Andrew Chafin gave the Brewers their first lead of the game and proved to be the game-winning hit. Moustakas extended his hit streak to 10 games in the process, and the veteran slugger is slashing .308/.386/.615 over that stretch with two homers, seven RBI and eight runs.

Senzel (hamstring) is available off the bench Saturday against the Cardinals, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
