Anderson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 11-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

He's now gone yard in two straight games, extending his modest hitting streak to six games and giving him 15 homers on the year. Anderson's only slashing .231/.265/.508 in 16 games since the All-Star break, but he still has time to turn around what has been a fairly underwhelming sophomore campaign to date.

Suarez left Monday's game against the Pirates due to back tightness, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

This was a precautionary move by the Reds, who wanted to make sure that Suarez was ready to go for Tuesday's clash. He'll be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Senzel will sit Monday against the Pirates.

Senzel sits for the second time in four games, though his absence Monday seems to be a routine one, as there hasn't been any indication that the dizziness which kept him out of action Friday remains a problem. Jesse Winker will slide over to center field in his absence, with Josh VanMeter starting in left.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.

The 26-year-old has swooned in July, slashing .200/.246/.431 through 21 games, but Anderson now has 14 homers on the year, extending his career high. Barring an unexpected influx of MLB-ready talent at the trade deadline, he figures to continue drawing regular at-bats for the Marlins in the second half and hitting somewhere in the middle of an underpowered lineup.

Duffy, who went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a walk in a win over the Blue Jays on Sunday, is 6-for-21 with two doubles, two RBI and two walks over his first five games since making his season debut July 23.

The oft-injured veteran has been thrust right into an everyday opportunity at third base with Yandy Diaz (foot) on the injured list. That he's been able to display solid timing at the plate after such a delayed season debut is certainly encouraging, and Duffy is making a strong early case to force manager Kevin Cash's hand to continue affording him steady playing time even when Diaz returns to health.

Rendon went 3-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.

He didn't flash any power, but Rendon still featured prominently in the Nats' 11-run attack. The third baseman is now slashing .333/.424/.548 through 22 games in July with three homers, 11 runs and 18 RBI.

Senzel went hitless in three at-bats in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Rockies before being ejected in the fourth inning for arguing balls and strikes.

The ejection was the first of Senzel's young MLB career and prevented him from building on his four-game hitting streak. Senzel is unlikely to face any further discipline for the incident and should remain in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Devers went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two runs Saturday in the Red Sox's 9-5 win over the Yankees.

Devers has been a menace for the Yankees' pitching staff through the first three games of the series, totaling eight hits -- including five doubles and a home run -- over 15 at-bats. Boston's newly christened No. 2 hitter will stick in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale.

Segura was diagnosed with a right shin contusion after leaving Sunday's game against the Braves, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

It initially looked like a knee issue for Segura, who sustained the injury on a tag play at second base on Ronald Acuna's stolen base attempt. The 29-year-old will have Monday's scheduled off day to help his recovery before missing any additional time. According to Breen, manager Gabe Kapler said the team doesn't have any long-term concerns regarding the injury.

LeMahieu (groin) is not in the lineup for Sunday night's game against the Red Sox, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

LeMahieu is nursing a low-grade groin strain and believed he could play through the injury Sunday, but it's no real surprise to see the Yankees take a more cautious approach. The veteran infielder will now have two extra days to recover thanks to Monday's scheduled off day, and he hopes to be ready to roll by that time, per Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record. Gio Urshela receives another start at the hot corner in his place.
