Longoria is not starting Saturday against Arizona, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After recording a .623 OPS in April, Longoria owns a .925 mark in May. Pablo Sandoval will start at the hot corner Saturday.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a two-run homer and a second run scored in a loss to the Nationals on Friday.

His first-inning shot off Kyle McGowin kickstarted a 10-run outburst for the Miami offense -- unfortunately, the pitching staff coughed up 12. Anderson's now homered three times in the last four games after going more than a month without leaving the yard, but on the season the 26-year-old is still slashing just .235/.319/.363.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, three runs scored and two RBI in Friday's win over the Marlins.

The third baseman was at the heart of the Nats' 12-run explosion on the night, swatting his 10th homer of the season off Pablo Lopez in the fourth inning. Rendon's now slashing a stellar .327/.431/.691 over the last 15 games, and he has four long balls, 11 RBI and 15 runs during that span.

Escobar went 2-for-6 with a three-run homer and another run scored in Friday's 18-2 rout over the Giants.

Escobar launched his 12th home run of the year with a shot off reliever Nick Vincent as the Diamondbacks scored 18 runs to set a new record at Oracle Park. The 30-year-old veteran continues to produce solid numbers for Arizona, slashing .281/.344/.556 with 37 RBI and 31 runs scored.

Vargas went 5-for-6 with a home run, three runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 18-2 victory over the Giants.

Vargas homered to deep left center off Drew Pomeranz in the first inning for his second long ball of the season. Overall, the Diamondbacks scored 18 runs to set a new record at Oracle Park. The 27-year-old played a big part in Arizona's success and has been a solid addition after getting recalled from Triple-A Reno to fill in for Wilmer Flores while he recovers from a foot contusion. In 28 games with Arizona, Vargas is batting .246/.246/.385 with 10 runs scored, six RBI, and a stolen base.

Arenado went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 8-6 win over the Orioles.

Arenado opened the scoring in the first inning, and then provided the tying run in the seventh inning with his second blast. The third baseman has 13 homers, 37 RBI and 37 runs scored in 49 games, while the three-hit night raised his average to .325 for the year.

Suarez went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in a 6-5 victory against the Cubs on Friday.

Trailing by a run in the ninth inning, Joey Votto led off with a walk, and then Suarez went deep to give the Reds their first lead of the game. This was his eighth multi-hit game and seventh homer of the month, but he also broke a 1-for-14 skid Friday. Suarez is hitting .258 with 14 home runs, 33 RBI, 28 runs and one steal in 182 at-bats this season.

Riley went 3-for-6 with a home run and three RBI in an extra-innings win against the Giants on Thursday.

Riley smoked a two-run shot to center field off reliever Tony Watson in the eighth inning to tie the game at 4-4. Five innings later, he drove home the winning run with an RBI single. The talented freshman has gotten off to a blazing hot start in the majors, setting a Braves rookie record by hitting his fifth home run in only his ninth game. He also boasts an incredible .389/.421/.833 slash line with 12 runs batted in.

Segura went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and two runs to help the Phillies to a 9-7 victory over the Cubs on Thursday.

The 29-year-old checked in with his fifth long ball of the season with a fourth-inning two-run blast off Jon Lester. He's taken nicely to his new surroundings in his first year with the Phillies, as Segura is now sporting a healthy .325/.371/.512 slash line through 166 at-bats.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Tigers.

He's now gone yard in back-to-back games in Detroit, doubling his homer total on the year to a modest four. Anderson's .234/.311/.351 slash line through 45 contests isn't any better, but the 26-year-old's recent form offers some hope that he's headed into a hot streak.
