Peterson has been scratched from Monday's lineup against Arizona for undisclosed reasons.

It's unclear what's wrong with Peterson or if he will be available off the bench in a pinch-hitting role. Consider him day-to-day until we hear more.

Suarez went 3-for-4 with a double in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

He continues to put together a great August, as Suarez is now slashing .333/.372/.542 with two homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs in 72 at-bats on the month.

Arenado had a big day at the plate Sunday versus the Cubs, finishing 4-for-5 with two home runs and six RBI in the 11-4 victory.

Arenado crushed a three-run home run in the first inning and chased Jason Hammel from the game when he repeated the feat in the fourth inning. Arenado now leads baseball with 104 RBI, and his pair of long-balls vaulted him past Kris Bryant for the top spot in the National League.

Bregman went 3-for-6 with an RBI double, two-run homer and three runs in Saturday's 12-2 rout of the Orioles.

The rookie's bat remains red-hot, with an 11-for-24 tally over his last five games. Bregman drove in George Springer with both of his run-scoring hits Saturday, a solo shot in the first that opened the scoring and an RBI two-bagger in the ninth that capped it off. The 22-year-old has now hit safely in 13 of his last 14 games and currently boasts a five-game hitting streak.

Longoria went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, solo homer, walk and two runs overall in Saturday's 8-2 victory over the Rangers.

He got the scoring on the day started by plating Corey Dickerson in the first with a single, and then blasted his second homer in the last four games in the sixth. Factoring in Saturday's production, Longoria is now just five homers away from equaling the career-best 33 he tallied back in a spectacular 2009 season.

Segura is out of the lineup Sunday against the Padres, Jody Jackson of Fox Sports Arizona reports.

Chris Owings will bat leadoff and start at shortstop as the Diamondbacks give Segura the day off. Apart from an 0-for-4 outing Saturday, Segura has been spectacular at the plate recently. Over the last 14 games, he's hitting .397/.424/.651 with two home runs and seven RBI.

Valencia is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox.

Valencia owns a superb .985 OPS against southpaws this season, so it's a bit surprising to see him on the bench against left-hander Jose Quintana. He has made six consecutive starts, however, so perhaps this is just a routine maintenance day.

Muncy is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox.

Muncy will give way to Chad Pinder at the keystone for the second straight game, as the Athletics will once again see a southpaw on the hill for the opposing team Sunday afternoon.

Alvarez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Astros, Jon Meoli of the Baltimore Sun reports.

With lefty Dallas Keuchel on the hill for the opposing Astros, Alvarez will sit in favor of Mark Trumbo at the DH spot. Alvarez hasn't started against a left-hander since July 30.

Rendon is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Braves.

Rendon continued his second-half surge Saturday with four hits in five at-bats, but he started every game for over a month, so manager Dusty Baker decided it was time for Rendon's first day off since July 19. Wilmer Difo will man the hot corner in Rendon's place.
