Moncada went 3-for-5 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Athletics.

All three of Moncada's hits were singles, and he struck out in his other two at-bats. The third baseman is hitting .313/.368/.545 with 16 homers and six stolen bases this year. Over a six-game hitting streak, Moncada is 10-for-24 with two homers, five runs scored and two doubles.

Machado went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and another run scored in Friday's loss to the Braves.

Machado got the Padres on the board by smacking a leadoff home run off Dallas Keuchel in the sixth inning. The 27-year-old also singled in the fourth, then again in the eighth to cap off a successful night at the plate. Overall this season, Machado has tallied 21 home runs, 59 RBI and 53 runs scored while batting .271/.342/.500.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 5-3 victory over the Padres.

Donaldson got the scoring started with a three-run home run in the first inning off Dinelson Lamet. The 33-year-old then swatted a two-out solo shot off Matt Strahm in the eighth to extend Atlanta's lead to 5-1. It was just the second time this season that Donaldson recorded a multi-homer night. Overall, he's hitting .253/.362/.513 with 20 home runs, 51 runs scored and 49 RBI.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Suarez's blast came in the seventh inning, briefly giving the Reds a 2-1 lead. The third baseman is up to 21 homers, 55 RBI and 43 runs scored in 88 games this year. Five of his homers have come in his last eight games.

Senzel (ankle) went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

The center fielder had previously exited a game versus the Indians on July 7 with an ankle sprain but appears good to go after the All-Star break. Senzel is hitting .259/.321/.449 with eight homers, 33 runs scored, 27 RBI and eight stolen bases in 56 games.

Bregman (head) is not in the lineup for Friday's game at Texas since he is still being evaluated for a head injury, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman had a tough hop hit him square in the chin Thursday, causing him to exit the contest and receive four stitches. It sounds as though the 24-year-old is being evaluated for a potential concussion, which would be much more worrisome than the chin laceration. Bregman should be considered day-to-day until more is known about the injury.

Davis (illness) is back in the lineup Friday against the Marlins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Davis battled an illness in the days leading up to the All-Star break but is good to go following the additional four days of rest. He'll bat second and play left field against the Marlins.

Anderson (elbow) is back in the lineup Friday against the Mets, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

A bruised elbow kept Anderson out of the lineup for the final five games of the first half, though he appeared off the bench in each one. He'll hit cleanup and play third base Friday.

Senzel (ankle) will start Friday against Colorado.

Senzel left the Reds' final game before the All-Star break with a right ankle sprain, but the issue wasn't expected to be a serious one. He'll bat sixth and play center field Friday in Coors Field.

Bregman received four stitches on his chin after exiting Thursday night's game against Texas, and his status for Friday's contest is unclear, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman was the victim of a tough hop on a groundball to shortstop, and he had to leave Thursday's contest in the third inning as a result. His availability for Friday's matchup should become more clear closer to first pitch.
