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.

Muncy is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres.

The Dodgers are stacking their lineup with right-handed bats against Padres southpaw Matt Strahm, so Muncy will find his way to the bench and will be replaced by everyday player Cody Bellinger at first base. Enrique Hernandez takes over in center field.

LeMahieu (thumb) was able to participate in pregame batting practice Sunday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

LeMahieu has been out since May 14 with a left thumb sprain but has recently been able to play catch and hit without pain. The Rockies haven't announced when he'll be activated from the disabled list, but he's certainly trending in a positive direction.

McMahon was recalled and is in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

He will start at second base and bat seventh against right-hander Tyler Mahle. The 23-year-old McMahon was an incredibly frustrating player to own in fantasy earlier this season, as he was on the bench more often than not and he did little when given an opportunity. His outlook is brighter this time around -- for playing time at least -- with DJ LeMahieu on the shelf with a thumb injury.

Senzel (vertigo) is making progress at the Reds' extended spring training facility in Goodyear, Arizona, taking batting practice and fielding ground balls without incident, MLB.com's Mark Sheldon reports.

The next step for Senzel will be to play in extended spring training games. The Reds haven't indicated whether Senzel will need to go on a rehab assignment at lower minor-league levels before reporting back to Triple-A Louisville. This has pushed back any possible promotion to the majors, however. Chances are the Reds won't call him up until late summer, barring another injury to Eugenio Suarez.

Arenado went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's win over the Reds.

The 27-year-old took Sal Romano deep to center field for his first home run in nearly three weeks. While Arenado is well off his normal power pace, he's walking and making hard contact at the highest rates of his career. Keep in mind that he's played just 19 games at home to this point (27 on the road).

Suarez went 2-for-3 with a single and a two-run home run in Friday's loss to the Rockies.

After hitting a grand slam in the finale of the Pirates series, Suarez want yard again in the opener in Colorado. Amazingly, Suarez ranks first in the National League in RBI with 40 despite having missed more than two weeks in April with a fractured thumb. He will continue to have plenty of chances to drive in runs while batting behind Joey Votto and Scooter Gennett.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Thursday's win over the Pirates.

Suarez continues to make a case for being the most underrated player in baseball. Despite missing more than two weeks in April a thumb injury, Suarez leads the Reds in RBI with 38 and ranks third on the team in homers with eight. He has 24 RBI in May alone.
