Hayes is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Hayes is hitless in 10 career at-bats against Brewers starter Corbin Burnes, so he will get a breather with Burns on the bump Monday night. Rodolfo Castro will man the hot corner in Hayes' place.

Longoria (hamstring) isn't starting Monday's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria suffered a right hamstring injury during Sunday's matchup against the Twins, and while the injury was later reported to be a mild one, he'll miss at least one game while on the mend. The third baseman will continue to be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Donaldson is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Donaldson does not sit much, but manager Aaron Boone decided it was best to give him a breather Monday night. DJ LeMahieu will man the hot corner in Donaldson's place.

Duffy (back) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Duffy had been on the injured list since the end of June, but he spent the last few weeks on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake and hit .179 with a run, an RBI, a walk and six strikeouts over eight minor-league games. Duffy isn't starting Monday against the Yankees and will likely have to compete with Luis Rengifo for playing time at third base over the final month of the season.

Senzel (hamstring) is starting Monday against the Cardinals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Senzel sat out the last three games with left hamstring tightness but will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth Monday. Over his last seven games, he's hit .269 with a home run, four RBI, three runs, three walks and five strikeouts.

Bregman went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Orioles.

After a slow start to the season, Bregman has emerged as Houston's hottest hitter in August. He's now slashing .375/.457/.716 on the month and has provided seven of his 20 home runs on the campaign in the past two and a half weeks.

Machado went 4-for-5 with two home runs and a double for a total of four RBI and three runs scored in a 15-7 loss to the Royals on Sunday.

Machado had an incredible night at the plate, which included two home runs off Royals starter Jonathan Heasley. Machado has been scorching throughout August and came into the game slashing .316/.382/.551 this month. The 30-year-old third baseman has been a beacon of consistency throughout his career, and if he stays hot down the stretch he could be on the brink of his second 100-RBI season and fifth 30-home run season.

Paredes went 2-for-2 with two home runs, three RBI and three walks in Sunday's 12-4 win over the Red Sox.

Paredes got the scoring started with a solo shot in the second inning, followed by a two-run homer in the fourth, both against starter Nick Pivetta. The rookie infielder has gone deep four times in his last six appearances after snapping a 21-game homerless drought. He's now slashing .225/.306/.484 with 18 home runs, 40 RBI and a 48:29 K:BB through 291 plate appearances this season.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a two-run home run in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Rangers.

It's been a rough season for Candelario, who is batting just .202 with a .620 OPS. However, he's now riding a four-game hitting streak and has gone deep in consecutive contests, giving him 12 home runs this year. Candelario batted .271 with a .794 OPS and 16 home runs in 2021, so he's certainly capable of finishing 2022 on a more positive note.

Longoria (hamstring) isn't believed to be dealing with a significant injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Longoria exited Sunday's game against the Twins due to left hamstring tightness, but he isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list. If the Giants hold the 36-year-old out for any games, J.D. Davis will likely see increased playing time.
