Senzel (knee) has started doing more baseball activities but still isn't expect back until early August, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "He's still making his way, adding activities," manager David Bell said. "He's taking flyballs, taking groundballs, doing more and more... With only two weeks or so left in July, I'd expect all of those guys back in August."

Senzel is on the 60-day IL and could return as early as July 30th, but it appears to be more likely that he'll need a little more time beyond that.

Riley went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Rays.

Riley got Atlanta on the scoreboard in the fourth after blasting a two-run homer to center. He would then walk and single his next two times up. The 24-year-old has hit safely in seven of his last eight games and will need to continue to pick up some of the slack left behind by Ronald Acuna's season-ending knee injury. For the year, Riley is slashing .279/.362/.478 with 15 homers, 44 RBI, 43 runs scored and 36:91 BB:K over 359 plate appearances.

Paredes is starting at second base and batting sixth in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Paredes was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday but didn't get the chance to play when the twin bill was rained out. The 22-year-old is slashing just .172/.297/.345 in 11 games this season, but the Tigers likely want to evaluate their young players a bit more in the second half, so Paredes could see fairly regular playing time while he's with the big club.

Moncada went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and an RBI in Friday's 7-1 loss to Houston.

Moncada had been dealing with hand soreness prior to the All-Star break, which could have been beneficial to his recovery. He missed a few games at the beginning of July and is 4-for-21 with three extra-base hits and five RBI over the six games since his return to the lineup.

Suarez went 1-for-2 with two walks, a double and two RBI in Friday's 11-6 loss to the Brewers.

He gave the Reds a 4-1 lead in the third inning with a two-run double, but Tyler Mahle and the bullpen let it slip away. Suarez has hit a little better in July, but he's still only slashing .211/.302/.421 through 11 games on the month with two homers and eight RBI.

Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Chicago's 5-1 triumph over Arizona on Friday.

Wisdom took Matt Peacock yard to left for a valuable insurance run in the seventh but didn't do anything productive at the dish otherwise. Astoundingly enough, 13 of the corner infielder's 17 extra-base hits have left the ballpark and he sports a robust .630 slugging as a result.

Robinson announced his retirement Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Robinson began the 2021 campaign with Triple-A Sacramento and hit .128 across 35 games, but he'll now hang up his cleats to join the Giants' front office following his return to baseball across the past few years. The 29-year-old appeared in 100 major-league games with the Rangers and Cardinals during his career and slashed .202/.296/.359 with nine home runs, 32 runs and 22 RBI.

Longoria (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Longoria was able to increase his baseball activity prior to the All-Star break, and the team was hoping he'd be able to return early in the second half. However, the 35-year-old will now be sidelined until at least early August following his move to the 60-day IL. It's not yet clear when the third baseman could begin a rehab assignment.

Rendon (hamstring) recently suffered a setback in his recovery and won't return for at least a couple more weeks, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rendon landed on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain July 6, and manager Joe Maddon said that the third baseman likely won't return until late July or early August. While Maddon didn't sound too concerned about the setback, Rendon will require more time on the shelf before he's cleared to return.

Vosler was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Vosler was recalled July 6 and wound up going 0-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored across five pinch-hit appearances. He'll head back to Sacramento for the time being, with Mike Tauchman (knee) being reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding roster move.
