Muncy went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks and a three-run home run in Monday's 8-2 victory over the Rockies.

Muncy's storybook season continued with his 33rd homer, which is either tied for or leading all qualified players at both first and second base. The 28-year-old is still sitting occasionally against southpaws, but there is no reason that fantasy owners shouldn't continue riding his power surge through the finish line.

Rendon went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Monday's 8-5 loss to Miami.

Rendon went deep in the third inning, plating two runs on a blast over the wall in left field. Following Monday's performance, he's recorded three straight multi-hit games, going 8-for-12 with a double, two home runs and six RBI over that brief stretch. Rendon sports a .304/.369/.520 slash line through 125 games with two weeks remaining in the regular season.

Rendon went 3-for-4 with a home run, walk, two RBI and two runs in the Nationals' 6-4 victory over the Braves on Sunday.

Rendon extended his on-base streak to 25 games with his third-inning two-run homer, his 20th of the season. It's the fourth time in five seasons Rendon has reached the 20-homer threshhold, with his injury-plagued 2015 campaign marking the only time he failed to achieve the feat. While he lacks the elite power production of some of his contemporaries at the corner-infield spots, Rendon's steady home-run outputs paired with typically high batting averages has continued to make him a quality value pick in fantasy drafts the last few years.

Anderson is not in the lineup Sunday against the Phillies, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson has just a .469 OPS with a 41.9 percent strikeout rate in the month of September, so he'll get a day off Sunday. Miguel Rojas will man the hot corner in his stead.

Muncy went 1-for-1 with four walks, an RBI and a pair of runs scored in Saturday's win over St. Louis.

Muncy's power outbreak has calmed a bit (by his standards) with just two homers over his last 17 games, but he has continued to be an on-base machine with 13 walks over that span. The 27-year-old is no longer seeing everyday playing time, but he remains in the lineup against right-handed starters more often than not, keeping his fantasy value afloat.

Machado went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 17-4 rout of the Cardinals on Saturday.

Machado provided one of the Dodgers' five long balls, upping his season total to 35 in the process. The 25-year-old is just two homers and one RBI away from tying his career highs in each category with 13 games left in the 2018 campaign.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

The grand slam provided all of the Cardinals' runs in their 17-4 loss. The 27-year-old now has four homers in 45 plate appearances in his debut season, hitting .231/.333/.538 overall.

Moustakas went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 7-4 win over the Pirates.

His seventh-inning shot gave Moustakas six homers in 39 games as a Brewer and 26 in total on the year, boosting his slash line in Milwaukee to .277/.340/.475. He'll continue to sit against left-handers, but the team's current schedule has the Brewers set to face only one southpaw over the next two weeks, giving him the opportunity for a big surge to close out the regular season.

Senzel (finger) will play left field in Cincinnati's instructional league, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Senzel underwent season-ending surgery at the end of June on his right index finger, but he's already resumed hitting and should be ready for the start of the instructional league. Although he was drafted as a third baseman, saw time at shortstop in spring training and played second base most of the year in the minors, the Reds are interested in testing out Senzel's versatility even further in an effort to get his bat to the majors as quickly as possible, with Reds President of Baseball Operations Dick Williams citing players like Kris Bryant as examples of Senzel's possible usage around the diamond.

Anderson is out of the starting nine versus Philadelphia on Friday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson went 2-for-8 with a double, one run scored and four strikeouts during Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets. He will head to the bench for a standard day off while Miguel Rojas draws a start at third base.
