Arenado is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. Arenado's toe is still a little sore, which is one of the reasons why the Rockies wanted to give him a day, Saunders said.

Arenado started the last seven games at the hot corner after dealing with a toe bruise and went 9-for-28 with two home runs, seven runs scored, five RBI and five walks. It's only the third time this season the 28-year-old will step out of the lineup. Pat Valaika is starting at third base and batting eighth Sunday.

Devers (hamstring) is expected to return to the lineup Monday against the White Sox, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Devers is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays and hasn't started since leaving Wednesday's game with hamstring tightness. He took grounders on the field prior to Sunday's game and is expected to be cleared Monday.

Senzel (migraine) is starting in center field and batting fifth Sunday at Milwaukee.

Senzel was removed from Friday's game due to the migraine and was held out of the lineup Saturday, though he did make a pinch-hit appearance. The 23-year-old has a .325/.372/.700 slash line with four homers in his last 12 games.

Devers (hamstring) remains on the bench Sunday against Toronto, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Devers left Wednesday's game with hamstring tightness and hasn't started since, though he did appear off the bench in each of the last two games, so his return to the lineup doesn't appear to be far off. Brock Holt will start at third base.

Escobar went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Giants.

Escobar's fifth-inning single snapped an 0-for-15 slide. He remains Arizona's RBI leader with 59, but he's been in a quiet stretch over the last two weeks, hitting .150 (6-for-40) with five RBI in the last 11 games.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored, two RBI and a double in Saturday's 4-2 win over Tampa Bay.

Chapman provided a 2-1 lead with his 409-foot shot to right field in the third inning, and he also came through in the seventh with an RBI double to give the A's the lead for good. The 26-year-old now is working on a nine-game hitting streak in which he is hitting .412 with two homers and six doubles.

Senzel (migraine) appeared as a pinch hitter Saturday, striking out in the seventh inning.

Senzel appears to be on a path to return to starting action soon.

Longoria is not in the lineup for Saturday's game at Arizona, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Longoria will take a seat for the second straight game after starting the previous five games for the Giants. The 33-year-old went 0-for-2 with a walk off the bench in Friday's game, so there doesn't appear to be any injury concerns. Pablo Sandoval will start again at third base in his stead.

Moustakas went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and three walks in an 11-7 loss to the Reds on Friday.

After sitting Wednesday against the Padres with a left hand contusion, Moustakas went hitless in his return to the lineup Thursday for the series opener with Cincinnati. He was back at peak form a day later, however, with the solo shot offering reassurance to fantasy managers who feared the hand injury might sap his power. He'll be in the lineup again Saturday, batting third while manning second base.

Senzel (headache) is expected to be available off the bench Saturday against the Brewers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

A headache forced Senzel to leave Friday's contest, a particular worry for a player who has missed time due to vertigo in the past. The issue doesn't appear to be particularly serious right now, and it doesn't sound as though Senzel will miss too much more time.
