Arenado went 3-for-5 with an RBI in the Cardinals' 2-0 win over the Brewers on Thursday.

In a game that lacked offense, Arenado reached base three times, all on singles, and knocked in one of the game's two runs in the first inning. He continued his 10-game streak of reaching base safely. The 30-year-old leads the Cardinals with 19 extra-base hits and 24 RBI. He is slashing .284/.342/.500 in 161 plate appearances.

Senzel (heel) is not expected to have a long-term absence, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Senzel exited Thursday's contest in the third inning and was diagnosed with a heel contusion. While it appears he avoided a serious injury, it remains unclear when he will be able to return to the lineup. Shogo Akiyama could see an uptick in playing time if Senzel remains sidelined for the team's weekend series against the Rockies at Coors Field.

Moustakas suffered a shoulder injury Thursday against the Rockies but will be back in the lineup Friday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Moustakas exited in the fifth inning with the injury, though there was no concern about his status moving forward. He should be ready to return to the middle of the Reds' lineup to complete the team's weekend series at Coors Field.

Urshela is dealing with a knee injury and could be out of the lineup Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Urshela missed the team's weekend series with a knee injury, and he is still dealing with it despite returning to start three consecutive contests. It appears the team may take a cautious approach, though for the time being a stint on the injured list doesn't appear imminent.

Moustakas was removed from Thursday's game and was having his finger looked at, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Moustakas exited in the fifth inning, though it's not clear how he picked up the potential injury. Alex Blandino replaced him at first base.

Senzel exited Thursday's contest against the Rockies with a heel contusion.

Senzel appeared to injure himself after running into the wall in the first inning. He remained in the game for another frame before being pulled but appears to have avoided serious injury. If he is forced to miss further game action, Shogo Akiyama figures to be a potential beneficiary.

Senzel exited Thursday's game against the Rockies with an undisclosed injury, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Senzel hit the outfield wall trying to track down a fly ball in the first inning. He remained in the contest for an additional inning, but Shogo Akiyama replaced him as a pinch-hitter in the third frame. Though no specifics were given, the news is concerning given Senzel's lengthy history of injury.

Madrigal isn't starting Thursday's game against the Twins.

Madrigal had gone 5-for-19 with a double, three runs and an RBI in his last four games. Leury Garcia will shift to second base while Billy Hamilton starts in center field.

Riley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.

Riley will exit the lineup for the first time since April 16, breaking a streak of 22 consecutive starts. Ehire Adrianza will step in at the hot corner as a replacement for Riley, who will put a four-game hit streak on hold as he heads to the bench.

Muncy went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, two walks and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 7-1 victory over the Mariners.

Over that stretch, he is slashing .333/.500/.875 with eight RBI and eight walks. Muncy's league-leading 36 walks on the season are seven more than his closest competitor.
