Suarez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo homer in Saturday's loss to the Pirates.

Suarez took Ivan Nova deep in the second inning to tie the game at 1-1, marking his 13th homer of the season while also extending his hitting streak to seven games. The 26-year-old now owns a strong .299/.388/.563 line with 13 homers and 50 RBI.

Machado went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Saturday's loss to the Marlins.

Machado put Baltimore on the board with his two-run single in the third inning, but it wouldn't be enough for the Orioles to snap their nine-game losing streak. Despite his .227/.308/.364 line through 12 games this month, Machado is still slashing an impressive .308/.377/.570 with 18 homers and 52 RBI this season.

Lewis exited Saturday's minor-league game with a knee injury that is not believed to be serious, Jeff Johnson of The Cedar Rapids Gazette reports.

Lewis has apparently been dealing with the issue recently and aggravated it Saturday. Doctors have already evaluated the 19-year-old and determined there's nothing structurally wrong with his knee. Lewis recently returned to action after missing a couple of games with a leg injury.

Longoria (hand) will undergo surgery Tuesday to address his fractured left hand, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The typical recovery timetable is 6-8 weeks, which could have Longoria back around the start of August, but he apparently plans to work towards a quick return just after the All-Star break, which ends July 20. Regardless, specifics are unlikely to be available until he begins the rehab process post-surgery.

Chapman will get further evaluation of his hand injury Monday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

An MRI had previously revealed no structural damage, but Chapman was nevertheless placed on the disabled list Friday. The fact that he's getting further evaluation is potentially a bad sign, though the severity of his injury should become a lot clearer following the visit.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

Muncy will unsurprisingly head to the bench Saturday as the Giants send left-hander Madison Bumgarner to the mound. Cody Bellinger moves back to first base with Enrique Hernandez starting in center field and batting second.

Longoria was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a fractured hand Friday.

Longoria was hit on the left hand by a pitch Thursday against the Marlins. He's expected to miss at least six weeks and could miss over two months if surgery is required. Alen Hanson started in his place Friday, though Pablo Sandoval could slide over from first base once Brandon Belt (appendicitis) returns from the disabled list, which is expected to happen Saturday.

Moustakas went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and three RBI in a loss to the Astros on Friday.

Moustakas accounted for all of the Royals' run production Friday, slashing a two-run double -- his 17th two-bagger of the year -- off Charlie Morton in the third inning and later walking with the bases loaded in the fifth. Moustakas is hitting .259/.315/.477 with 13 home runs and 33 runs scored, and his 45 RBI rank third among all MLB third basemen.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's win over the Royals.

Bregman took starter Jake Junis deep in the fourth inning for his ninth homer of the year. Bregman has recorded a hit in all but one game so far in June, but his average hasn't moved much at all since most of the efforts have been one-hit games. The 24-year-old still has a healthy slash line of .262/.373/.450 with 20 doubles, 34 RBI and 39 runs scored, all while striking out only 12.4 percent of the time.

Rendon went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

The third baseman snapped an 0-for-10 mini-slump over his prior three games with the performance. In fact, aside from a four-hit game June 6, Rendon's had a sluggish month so far, slashing .233/.277/.302 in June with seven RBI and seven runs in 11 games. As long as he's hitting cleanup in a strong Nats batting order, he should remain fairly productive even if the hits aren't falling in consistently.
