Donaldson went 3-for-4 with a double and a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Phillies.

The 33-year-old has hit safely in five straight games and gone yard in three of them, giving Donaldson 11 homers and 31 RBI on the year in 67 contests to go with his .244/.353/.450 slash line. His MVP days are well behind him, but he's still capable of supplying solid offensive numbers from the hot corner.

Senzel received three or four stitches on his left eyelid after exiting Saturday's game against the Rangers, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Senzel had a foul ball bounce off his foot and hit him on the left eye Saturday, forcing him to leave the game during the middle of the at-bat. The 23-year-old is dealing with some swelling but looks as though he avoided a serious injury. Manager David Bell was unsure whether Senzel would be available for Sunday's series finale.

Davis went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, and three runs scored in an 8-7 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

Davis received the starting nod Saturday after coming off the bench the last two games and ended up finishing a triple short of the cycle. The 26-year-old hasn't been the everyday lineup fixture that he once was with the recent emergence of Dominic Smith and the return of Jeff McNeil (hamstring), but he should still at least see occasional starting chances in a utility role.

Senzel exited Saturday's game against the Rangers after a foul ball bounced and hit him in the left side of the face, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Senzel was unable to finish the at-bat with Jose Peraza entering as a pinch hitter. The 23-year-old should be considered day-to-day until the specifics of the injury are disclosed.

Arenado (forearm) is back in the lineup Saturday against San Diego.

Arenado was hit by a pitch in his forearm Wednesday against the Cubs and was pulled from the game. He started Thursday but sat Friday, though he did appear off the bench Friday. He'll play third base and hit cleanup Saturday.

Moncada (back) could be available off the bench Saturday against the Yankees and is expected to return to the starting lineup for Sunday's contest, Scot Gregor of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

Moncada hasn't appeared in a game since leaving Monday's contest against the Nationals with a mid-back strain, but it sounds as though that's about to change. Jose Rondon will fill in for him Saturday.

Moncada (back) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Yankees.

Moncada hasn't played since leaving Monday's game against the Nationals due to a mid-back strain. He stated Thursday that he was hoping to be back in action Saturday or Sunday, so he still has time to hit that target. Jose Rondon will start again at third base.

Longoria is not starting Saturday against Milwaukee, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria is hitting a solid .308/.333/.436 this month. He'll sit in favor of Pablo Sandoval for Saturday's contest.

Chapman went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk and a run in a loss to the Mariners on Friday.

On a night when the Athletics offense was largely silent, Chapman made some noise with his second triple of the season. The two-hit effort was a much-needed respite from a multi-game slump, as Chapman had gone just 1-for-27 over the previous seven contests.

Candelario (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Toledo.

Dawel Lugo will continue to be the Tigers' third baseman while Candelario attempts to get on track in Toledo. He was hitting .179 with a 28.2 percent strikeout rate prior to the injury.
