Walding was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

With J.P. Crawford (hand) hitting the disabled list for the second time this season, Walding will once again rejoin the Phillies to serve as his replacement. The 25-year-old appeared in just three games -- starting one -- and struck out in all six of his plate appearances during his first stint with the big club, so he figures to stick in a reserve role this time around.

Arenado went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, three RBI and a pair of runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Mets.

Arenado helped break the game open early, hitting a two-run shot in the third inning to kickstart a back-to-back-to-back sequence after Trevor Story and Ian Desmond followed with long balls of their own. The 27-year-old has now tallied multi-hit efforts in three of the last five games and is having another terrific campaign; through 67 games, he's slashing .311/.399/.559 to go along with 14 homers and 45 RBI.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Orioles.

Rendon drove in a run on a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning and plated a couple more with an RBI double in the seventh. The third baseman hit just .179 through the first 10 games in June but has now collected multiple hits in four of his last five starts. Rendon is slashing .277/.351/.462 with six homers and 27 RBI on the year. He should see plenty of run-producing opportunities moving forward while hitting behind the likes of Adam Eaton, Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo homer in Saturday's loss to the Pirates.

Suarez took Ivan Nova deep in the second inning to tie the game at 1-1, marking his 13th homer of the season while also extending his hitting streak to seven games. The 26-year-old now owns a strong .299/.388/.563 line with 13 homers and 50 RBI.

Longoria (hand) will undergo surgery Tuesday to address his fractured left hand, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The typical recovery timetable is 6-8 weeks, which could have Longoria back around the start of August, but he apparently plans to work towards a quick return just after the All-Star break, which ends July 20. Regardless, specifics are unlikely to be available until he begins the rehab process post-surgery.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

Muncy will unsurprisingly head to the bench Saturday as the Giants send left-hander Madison Bumgarner to the mound. Cody Bellinger moves back to first base with Enrique Hernandez starting in center field and batting second.

Longoria was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a fractured hand Friday.

Longoria was hit on the left hand by a pitch Thursday against the Marlins. He's expected to miss at least six weeks and could miss over two months if surgery is required. Alen Hanson started in his place Friday, though Pablo Sandoval could slide over from first base once Brandon Belt (appendicitis) returns from the disabled list, which is expected to happen Saturday.

Rendon went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

The third baseman snapped an 0-for-10 mini-slump over his prior three games with the performance. In fact, aside from a four-hit game June 6, Rendon's had a sluggish month so far, slashing .233/.277/.302 in June with seven RBI and seven runs in 11 games. As long as he's hitting cleanup in a strong Nats batting order, he should remain fairly productive even if the hits aren't falling in consistently.

Farmer was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times

Farmer had a rough 30-game stint with the Dodgers earlier in the season in which he recorded a .230/.304/.279 batting line in 69 plate appearances. He has five doubles and three homers in 22 games for Triple-A Oklahoma City, but don't expect Farmer to get much run barring an injury to Dodgers catchers Yasmani Grandal or Austin Barnes.

The Reds don't appear to be close to calling up Senzel despite his recent tear at the plate at Triple-A Louisville, MLB.com's Mark Sheldon reports. "We just want to make sure he has a place to play," Reds general manager Nick Krall said on Friday. "He's been progressing well, and he's making good contact. We feel he's played well in Triple-A, especially since he's come back from the injury the past two weeks."

Unless the Reds give up on Jose Peraza, which seems unlikely, or trade Scooter Gennett, there isn't an obvious place to play Senzel. He's not going to displace Eugenio Suarez or Gennett directly in the lineup, and he hasn't been playing outfield in the minors, so a move out there isn't in the works. Gennett can play the outfield, but he also has a bad shoulder which prevents him from making longer throws. At some point if Senzel keeps hitting as he has been, he'll force the issue, but for now, fantasy GMs with shares in the top prospect will have to be patient.
