Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW
Reds' Mike Moustakas: Lands on injured list
Moustakas (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to Aug. 6.
The Reds previously hoped the 31-year-old would be able to return to action Tuesday, but he apparently requires additional time to recover from the left quad bruise. Moustakas will be eligible to be activated Aug. 16 against the Pirates. Kyle Farmer and Christian Colon should continue to fill in at the keystone for Cincinnati.

Austin Riley 3B | ATL
Braves' Austin Riley: Not starting Game 1
Riley is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader in Philadelpha.
Riley will head to the bench for the second time in the past three games, but he may rejoin the lineup for Game 2. Johan Camargo will start at the hot corner in the matinee.

Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA
Angels' Anthony Rendon: Slump continues
Rendon went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Saturday's loss to the Rangers.
After homering in his first game as an Angel and notching a hit in four of his first six contests, Rendon has gone ice cold. He has failed to produce a base knock in each of his last five games, going 0-for-16 over that stretch. On the season, the team's prized offseason acquisition is hitting a paltry .111, though he has a healthy .373 OBP due to drawing 13 walks.

Nick Senzel 3B | LAD
Reds' Nick Senzel: Remains out Sunday
Senzel (groin) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Milwaukee.
The 25-year-old exited Friday's series opener with left groin tightness, and he'll be out of the lineup for the final two games of the series. The Reds have a scheduled off day Monday, so the team is likely just being cautious to give Senzel an extra day to recover. Travis Jankowski will start in center field Sunday for Cincinnati.

Max Muncy 3B | LAD
Dodgers' Max Muncy: Reveals fractured finger
Muncy explained Saturday that the finger injury he suffered during summer camp was a fracture, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Earlier reports suggested that Muncy's injury was a bruise, but the slugger indicated that he was actually dealing with a left finger fracture. The injury has not kept the slugger out of the lineup, as he has started every regular season game for the Dodgers thus far. However, Muncy has gotten off to a slow start at the plate -- despite belting four home runs, he is hitting only .169.

Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Bats leadoff Saturday
Moncada batted leadoff for the first time this season in Saturday's 7-1 loss to Cleveland. He went 1-for-5 with a solo home run.
Moncada has been entrenched at the second spot in the batting order -- that's where he primarily hit during his breakout 2019 season -- and no reason was given for him replacing Luis Robert, who hit well at leadoff the previous seven games. The home run was Moncada's third and extended his hitting streak to six games. He's hit safely in 11 of 14 games.

J.D. Davis 1B | LAA
Mets' J.D. Davis: Extends hitting streak
Davis went 2-for-3 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Marlins.
Davis singled in the third inning and later hit a three-run homer, extending his hitting streak to 12 games. His line is up to .319/.389/.532 through 14 games this season. He was seeing a lot of time in the outfield early on, but this was Davis' fourth consecutive start at third base.
-
Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN
Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Launches three-run homer
Suarez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Brewers.
An infield single and a fielding error in the first inning put two on for Suarez, and he capitalized with his second home run of the season. Suarez got off to a 3-for-35 start, but he's showing signs of progress with both of his homers and as many walks (6) as strikeouts (6) in his last five games.

Gio Urshela 3B | MIN
Yankees' Gio Urshela: Drives in three runs
Urshela went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored, three RBI and a walk as the Yankees split Saturday's doubleheader against the Rays.
The 28-year-old started at third base in both games of the twin bill and was a productive part of the offense in both contests. Urshela has a .341/.423/.636 slash line with three homers, 10 runs, 13 RBI and one stolen base in 14 games.
