Davis isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against Colorado, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Davis will get a rare day off Saturday after going 6-for-25 at the plate through the first week of July. Wilmer Flores will fill in at third base while batting third.

Burger went 2-for-2 with a home run, a double, three RBI, two runs scored and two walks in Friday's win over St. Louis.

Burger had a perfect day at the plate highlighted by his solo shot in the fifth inning to kick-start the White Sox's offense. The 27-year-old slugger is up to 19 homers this year, though he has just three with a .588 OPS over his last 20 games. His season slash line sits at .223/.282/.528 with 32 extra-base hits and 41 RBI through 255 plate appearances.

Arenado went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's loss to the White Sox.

Arenado launched a pair of two-run shots for his second multi-homer game of the year. His slow start to 2023 is now well behind him as his season slash line of .282/.329/.521 looks more like his usual production. Since the start of June, Arenado has registered a 1.053 OPS with 21 extra-base hits, including 10 home runs, and 26 RBI through 30 games.

Machado went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 extra-inning loss to the Mets.

Machado kept his bat warm with the pair of extra-base hits. He's logged multiple hits in five of six games in July, going 11-for-25 (.440) with four homers and 11 RBI this month. The third baseman's surge has him up to a .260/.305/.441 slash line with 13 long balls, 44 RBI, 39 runs scored and three stolen bases over 72 contests this season.

Pittsburgh placed Hayes on the 10-day injured list Friday with lower-back discomfort.

Hayes just returned Thursday from a two-week absence for a lower-back issue, and he apparently wasn't quite over it. He'll be sidelined through at least July 17, with Jared Triolo getting an extended audition at third base in Pittsburgh.

Rendon (shin) remains out of the lineup Friday.

Rendon has been sidelined since fouling a ball off his left shin Tuesday in San Diego. He's appeared in only 43 of a possible 89 games so far this season. Mike Moustakas is covering third base Friday at Dodger Stadium, while Hunter Renfroe will get the start at first base.

Candelario is out of the lineup with a sore right knee Friday versus the Rangers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Candelario was hit in the knee with a pitch Thursday and he'll now be forced to miss at least one game. Ildemaro Vargas will take over at third base and bat fifth Friday against Texas.

Baty (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Padres.

Baty will miss a second straight game while nursing hamstring tightness. Luis Guillorme will take over at the hot corner and bat ninth in the series opener with the Padres.

Garcia went 0-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Guardians.

Garcia's six-game hitting streak came to a close, but he drew multiple walks for the second time in his last four contests. The infielder's plate discipline is solid, with an 8.3 percent walk rate and 23.0 percent strikeout rate through 55 contests. He's displayed a solid hit tool by batting .291 with a .372 BABIP, and he's added three home runs, 14 stolen bases, 21 RBI and 26 runs scored through 222 plate appearances. He's settled into the leadoff spot over the last week after spending much of June moving around the lineup.

Senzel went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Nationals.

Senzel crushed the first pitch in the top of the 10th inning for a homer and plated the winning run for the Reds. He's homered in two consecutive games and has seven in 60 games. Senzel also showed off his versatility, playing center field, right field and third base.
