Senzel went 4-for-6 Saturday for Triple-A Louisville, scoring twice, knocking in a run, and stealing a base, MiLB.com reports.

After a slow start and a lengthy injury absence, Senzel has rallied to post a .276/.361/.441 line at Louisville, albeit with only three homers in 127 at-bats so far. Senzel hasn't yet hit for much power as a professional, though his 10 homers in 57 games at Double-A Pensacola last summer teased at that ability.

Muncy went 1-for-1 with a solo home run and three walks in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Braves.

Muncy has been red-hot at the plate of late, developing a modest six-game hit streak with four homers and seven RBI. The 27-year-old has been starting at the hot corner over the past couple of contests, but he should stick in the starting lineup even with Justin Turner (wrist) expected to return Sunday. A lineup configuration where Muncy moves back to first base and Cody Bellinger slots in at center against right-handed starters is the likely scenario. The slugger is slashing .268/.385/.593 over 148 plate appearances with the Dodgers this year, making him a viable power option in almost any format.

Longoria went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to Washington.

Longoria was given an extended break, sitting out Friday following the team's off day Thursday. The veteran third baseman responded with a pair of base knocks, nudging his batting average up to .247 on the year. While that number won't excite his fantasy owners, Longoria has provided some thump this year with 10 homers and a .205 isolated power mark.

LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

LeMahieu took Matt Koch deep in the sixth inning for his sixth home run of the season. It was his first since coming off the disabled list June 1 and was also his first home run at Coors Field for the season. Surprisingly, he has posted a .588 slugging percentage on the road as opposed to just a .337 mark at home.

Rendon went 1-for-4 with a run scored, one walk and two RBI Saturday against the Giants.

Rendon drove in a run during the first inning, and he hit into a fielder's choice in the second to plate another. Over his last three games, Rendon has gone 6-for-13 with two doubles and five RBI. Rendon is in great position to compile RBI as Washington's starting third baseman and regular No. 3 hitter.

Riley was placed on the minor-league disabled list due to a sprain of his posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Riley is expected to miss a couple more weeks after suffering the injury diving for a groundball against Louisville on June 3. The third baseman is expected to join the Braves later on this summer, though this issue could complicate his arrival if he doesn't progress according to plan. Through 26 games for Gwinnett in 2018, Riley is hitting .284 with a .776 OPS.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with a double in Friday's 4-0 win over the Padres.

The 25-year-old remains locked in at the plate, hitting safely in 14 of his last 16 games with a stellar .391/.443/.563 slash line over that stretch. Anderson doesn't do much other than collect base hits, though -- he has one homer, nine RBI and nine runs over his hot streak, and three homers and 30 RBI in 63 games on the season despite a .304/.377/.426 performance.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double in the Dodgers' 7-3 win over the Braves on Friday.

Muncy continues to produce at an impressive rate at the plate, as his latest multi-hit effort featured his 10th long ball in 122 at-bats, bringing his slash line up to .262/.368/.566. It's anyone's guess as to how long he's capable of sustaining this considering his lack of track record at the big-league level, but for the moment, the 27-year-old is providing excellent value.

Longoria is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria started the last 28 games at third base for the Giants, with Friday providing a good option for him to take a day off as manager Bruce Bochy stacks the lineup with left-handed bats against Stephen Strasburg. Alen Hanson will bat sixth and start at third base for the Giants on Friday.

Rendon went 4-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and four runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Rays.

Rendon's big day came on his 28th birthday. The third baseman put the Nationals up early with his two-run double in the first inning, and he helped extend the lead with an RBI double in the sixth frame. Rendon, who had just one hit through 16 at-bats this month prior to Wednesday's four-hit performance, is now slashing .268/.345/.471 with six homers, 20 RBI and 18 runs through 41 games.
