Rendon went 2-for-3 with two walks, two RBI, a steal and a run against the Mets on Wednesday.

Rendon's a scary player for fantasy purposes because it's hard to count on him staying healthy and harder still to evaluate to what degree his injuries have eroded his skills. That said, he's been showing some positive signs recently -- Rendon has churned out 10 hits in his last 28 at-bats (.357) and owns a strong 7:8 BB:K in that span. Of course, the power's still absent -- he's stuck on two homers and his RBI total is still in the single digits.

McMahon, 21, is batting .233/.331/.325 over 144 plate appearances at Double-A Hartford this season.

Power has been McMahon's calling card through his previous three stops in the minors, but he's shown precious little in that regard since moving to Double-A this season. He has yet to hit a home run, and his slugging percentage is down 150 points compared to what he posted at High-A Modesto in 2015. McMahon has at least gone a perfect 7-for-7 on stolen-base attempts, but he'll need to start cranking out extra-base hits in order for the Rockies to feel more positive about his development.

Duffy (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

It seems the decision to hold Duffy out Sunday was largely precautionary, as he's set to return Tuesday after missing just the one start. Duffy was used as a defensive replacement in Sunday's game. He will man third base and bat third against right-hander Colin Rea.

Reynolds is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Nationals.

After David Wright (back) was scratched from the lineup, Reynolds got the green light to enter the lineup and make his major league debut. He'll fill in at third base and bat ninth, although he faces a tough test in Max Scherzer, who struck out 20 batters in his previous start, which could spoil the 25-year-old's debut.

Rendon has been dropped from second to sixth in the Nationals' batting order for Tuesday's game against the Mets, CSN's Mark Zuckerman reports.

Rendon has hit almost exclusively in the two hole for the Nationals this year, but he is still struggling to get much going with the bat, so manager Dusty Baker decided to swap him and Jayson Werth in the order for at least a night. Rendon will have a tough task Tuesday facing Mets ace Noah Syndergaard, but for what it's worth, he does have three hits in seven career at-bats against him.

Reynolds was recalled by the Mets on Tuesday but he is not in the lineup for New York's matchup against Washington.

The Mets add some infield depth with the addition of Reynolds to the active roster. The 25-year-old slashed .238/.303/.369 at Triple-A Las Vegas prior to his call-up Tuesday. Although he's not in the lineup Tuesday, Wilmer Flores' absence due to a hamstring injury ought to lead to some appearances for Reynolds in the near future. Sean Gilmartin was optioned in a corresponding move to promote Reynolds.

Segura went 2-for-5 with a double, triple and three RBI in Monday's win over the Yankees.

Segura had gone 0-for-9 over his last two games, but he broke out of his mini-slump on Monday. The sample size is getting large enough to suggest that Segura could be returning to his 2013 All-Star form. He doesn't take a ton of walks (just four so far this season), but he's finding a way to get on base at a .360 clip. Segura is also driving the ball to the tune of a .512 slugging percentage, which would easily be a new career best (he slugged .423 in 2013).

Suarez went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 15-6 loss to the Indians.

Suarez has now homered in back-to-back games and has shaken off a recent slump at the plate by collecting five hits in his last 11 at-bats. With eight homers already this season, Suarez is well on his way to surpass his 2015 total of 13 home runs.

Reynolds is expected to be called up prior to Tuesday's series opener against the Nationals, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

Reynolds hasn't put up overwhelming numbers with Triple-A Las Vegas, but the Mets don't have much infield depth after placing Wilmer Flores (hamstring) on the disabled list, so he seems primed to make his first appearance in the big leagues. The Mets will likely send a reliever to Triple-A to make room for Reynolds on the roster, but it's currently unknown who specifically will be demoted. Reynolds was selected over Ty Kelly and T.J. Rivera largely because he is already on the 40-man roster.

Suarez went 3-for-6 with a three-run homer Sunday at Philadelphia.

Suarez's seventh bomb of the season moved the Reds out to a seven-run lead in a game they'd win easily. He came into this game mired in a 2-for-22 slump, but three hits raised his batting average 12 points to .250.
