Senzel received three or four stitches on his left eyelid after exiting Saturday's game against the Rangers, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Senzel had a foul ball bounce off his foot and hit him on the left eye Saturday, forcing him to leave the game during the middle of the at-bat. The 23-year-old is dealing with some swelling but looks as though he avoided a serious injury. Manager David Bell was unsure whether Senzel would be available for Sunday's series finale.

Davis went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, and three runs scored in an 8-7 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

Davis received the starting nod Saturday after coming off the bench the last two games and ended up finishing a triple short of the cycle. The 26-year-old hasn't been the everyday lineup fixture that he once was with the recent emergence of Dominic Smith and the return of Jeff McNeil (hamstring), but he should still at least see occasional starting chances in a utility role.

Senzel exited Saturday's game against the Rangers after a foul ball bounced and hit him in the left side of the face, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Senzel was unable to finish the at-bat with Jose Peraza entering as a pinch hitter. The 23-year-old should be considered day-to-day until the specifics of the injury are disclosed.

Arenado (forearm) is back in the lineup Saturday against San Diego.

Arenado was hit by a pitch in his forearm Wednesday against the Cubs and was pulled from the game. He started Thursday but sat Friday, though he did appear off the bench Friday. He'll play third base and hit cleanup Saturday.

Longoria is not starting Saturday against Milwaukee, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria is hitting a solid .308/.333/.436 this month. He'll sit in favor of Pablo Sandoval for Saturday's contest.

Donaldson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-8 win over the Phillies.

The veteran third baseman can still punish a mistake, but that's about all Donaldson has been doing lately. He's slashing .140/.222/.333 over his last 15 games with three of his 10 homers on the year, but with Ender Inciarte (back) still out indefinitely and Austin Riley needed in the outfield, Donaldson with continue getting every chance to figure things out at the plate.

Senzel went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Rangers.

His eighth-inning shot off Drew Smyly ruined a combined shutout for Texas, but it was the only offensive bright spot on the night for Cincy. Senzel has gone yard in back-to-back games, giving him six homers on the year to go with his .272/.331/.490 slash line over 36 contests.

Machado went 4-for-7 with a home run, a double, two RBI and four runs scored in Friday's 16-12 win at Coors Field.

Machado launched a solo home run off reliever Jake McGee in the seventh inning and added an RBI double to help complete a 12th-inning rally for the win. The 26-year-old has hit three home runs in the last two games. It's been an underwhelming start for Machado in his first season with the Padres, but hopefully he can make this streak last. He's batting .256/.339/.445 with 13 home runs, 38 RBI and 37 runs scored.

Rendon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI in Friday's win over Arizona.

Rendon launched a solo homer in the sixth inning to extend his team's lead to two, and he plated another run in the seventh on a sacrifice fly to center. He's been able to showcase his power at the plate of late, leaving the yard four times over his last five contests to give him 15 home runs on the season.

McMahon is starting at third base and hitting sixth against the Padres on Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Nolan Arenado is getting a rare day off, clearing the way for McMahon to draw a start at the hot corner. The 24-year-old is slashing .238/.326/.394 with six homers and 23 RBI through 160 at-bats so far this season.
