Devers (hamstring) is expected to need a rehab assignment, Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports.

Manager Alex Cora discussed Devers' status Wednesday, telling reporters that he's doing better. Because Devers is spending a second stint on the disabled list this month due to a hamstring injury and will have missed many plate appearances by the time he's ready to play again, Cora added that he'd like to see the third baseman get some at-bats in the minors before returning to Boston.

Duffy went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a walk, a stolen base and a strikeout in Wednesday's win over the Royals.

Duffy singled home an insurance run in the eighth inning in the 6-3 win and reached base three times on the night. The 27-year-old is hitting just .231 over 65 at-bats in August, but overall he's slashing .293/.350/.368 with nine steals in 14 attempts.

Segura exited Wednesday's game against the Astros after tweaking his rib cage, TJ Cotterill of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Segura started the game despite dealing with stiffness in his upper rib cage, but aggravated the issue during the game and was forced to leave. It's unclear how severe the issue is, but the Mariners have a day off Thursday, so Seguar will get at minimum one day to rest.

Maggi (hamstring) was reinstated from the 7-day disabled list Wednesday.

Maggi spent the past two weeks on the DL due to a right hamstring strain but will return to action at Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday after taking some time to recover. Across 54 games with the Triple-A team this year, he's hit .269 with one home run, 14 RBI and 11 stolen bases.

Moncada went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the visiting Twins.

Moncada hit a solo shot -- his 16th of the year -- in the seventh inning to tie the game at 2-2 before the Twins ended up taking the lead back in the ninth. Moncada ranks within the top 10 among MLB second basemen in home runs and RBI (47), but over his last 30 games he's hitting just .183 with five home runs and seven RBI. The 23-year-old leads the majors in strikeouts (177), which helps account for the poor .219 batting average and the relatively low .302 on-base percentage.

Duffy is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Duffy is hitting just .213/.304/.230 through 17 games this month, so he'll retreat to the bench in an effort to clear his head. Joey Wendle is covering third base in Duffy's stead, allowing Brandon Lowe to pick up a start at the keystone.

Segura went 2-for-5 with an RBI in a win over the Astros on Monday in his return from paternity leave.

Segura stayed hot in his return from a three-game absence, posting multiple hits for the fourth time in the last five contests. The All-Star shortstop is a blistering 12-for-24 over that stretch, pushing his season line to an impressive .315/.344/.437.

Moncada is not in the lineup for Monday's game against Minnesota, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Moncada will sit for the second time in six games after starting for two straight months. His previous absence was due to a root canal, though there hasn't been any indication that Monday's off day is anything other than a routine one. Yolmer Sanchez will slide over to second base in his place, with Matt Davidson getting a start at third.

Segura was reinstated from the paternity list Monday.

Segura missed the Mariners' weekend series against the Dodgers while on the list. In the week immediately preceding his absence, he recorded four multi-hit games. Matt Festa was optioned to Double-A Arkansas in a corresponding move.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Athletics.

Bregman came through with an RBI single in the third inning and later launched a solo home run in the seventh inning, his 24th of the season. His two homers this series -- he also went deep Friday -- were his first since July 28, though his .522 slugging percentage through 464 at-bats this season outpaces his best career marks by nearly 50 points. While he has only six RBI and eight runs scored in 56 August at-bats, he should benefit as the Astros' lineup returns to full strength with the imminent activation of Jose Altuve (knee) from the disabled list.
