Suarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Suarez clubbed a homer off starter Zack Godley in the sixth, his 10th long ball of the year and third in his last six games. The 26-year-old is now hitting .294/.371/.594 with an MLB-leading 42 RBI on the season. Suarez hit 26 home runs with 82 RBI last year, and so far he's well on pace to surpass those numbers.

Longoria went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's loss to the Rockies.

Longoria took starter Kyle Freeland deep in the sixth and then hit another long ball -- his 10th of the year -- off Bryan Shaw in the eighth. This was Longoria's third multi-hit game in his last four contests, raising his average to .263 on the season. The 32-year-old's 29 RBI put him just within the top 10 among MLB third basemen, but his .293 on-base percentage ranks near the bottom at the position. Longoria does have 26 extra-base hits, but he also carries an unfavorable 43:8 K:BB on the season.

Arenado went 2-for-5 with a run, two RBI and two doubles in Tuesday's win over the visiting Giants.

Arenado got an RBI groundout in the first, an RBI double in the fourth and connected for another double -- his 12th of the year -- in the eighth. Arenado now has 24 extra-base hits this season, and his .321 batting average and .417 on-base percentage both lead all MLB third basemen. The 27-year-old is wrapping up a fantastic May in which he's hit .330 with six home runs, 18 RBI and 20 runs scored while posting a 1.028 OPS.

Senzel (vertigo) is starting at second base and hitting second for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

As expected, Senzel is back in action with the Bats after being shut down at the beginning of May with vertigo. The 22-year-old prospect was hitting .271/.351/.459 across 22 games with Louisville prior to landing on the shelf.

Longoria went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and a trio of RBI in Monday's extra-innings loss to the Rockies.

Longoria benefited from the Coors Field effect, tallying his third three-hit and second three-RBI game of the year. The veteran is slashing .259/.289/.458 through 52 games and is on pace to surpass last year's marks of 36 doubles and 20 homers.

Rendon went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer and an additional run scored in Monday's win over the Orioles.

Rendon is starting to find a groove at the dish, as Monday marked his first three-RBI contest of the season while he's tallied two homers and four doubles across his last five games. He's now slashing a solid .272/.359/.496 across 33 games this season and will look to stay dialed in at the plate.

Senzel (vertigo) is rejoining Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

He had been making good progress at the Reds' spring training facility in Arizona, and will now travel to Louisville, presumably to get back into game action this week. Once he gets back in games, speculation will again ramp up as to whether the Reds will call up their top prospect this summer. The team could really use an upgrade at shortstop, but it's unclear if they will be willing to play Senzel at that position on a full-time basis. He is a third baseman by trade, but had been playing second base at Triple-A prior to being shut down with vertigo on May 4.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

The third baseman is heating up, slashing .348/.423/.609 over the last six games with four of his eight hits (three doubles and the homer) going for extra bases. Rendon's overall fantasy numbers remain lackluster on the season, but it's just a matter of time before the 27-year-old goes on an extended tear at the plate.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Reds.

Arenado connected for a home run off right-hander Tanner Rainey in the sixth inning, his 10th of the season. He enjoyed the Rockies' weekend series against the Reds, going 3-for-9 with two home runs, three RBI and four runs scored. He'll have the chance to keep it going as the Rockies will continue their homestand by welcoming in the Giants starting Monday.

Muncy went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run to help the Dodgers to a 6-1 victory over the Padres on Sunday.

Muncy wasn't in the lineup to start the game against Padres lefty Matt Strahm, but he made his presence felt after entering as a pinch hitter, launching a two-run blast off Tyler Webb. That makes six long balls in just 83 at-bats in 2018 for Muncy, and he's now boasting an impressive .241/.354/.518 slash line for the season.
