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.

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.
