Segura is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

Segura, who was 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in Game 1, will receive a rare game off Saturday night. Andrew Romine will bat ninth and start at shortstop for Seattle.

Duffy is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Duffy, who went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in the first inning of the Rays' loss in Game 1, will take a seat for the nightcap after starting the last 10 games. The 27-year-old is slashing .309/.342/.409 with 31 strikeouts in 110 at-bats this season.

Chapman went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, two walks and two runs in a win over the Yankees on Friday.

Chapman was a constant offensive presence in the resounding win, and his strong night was akin to an oasis in the desert for fantasy owners. Going into Friday's game, Chapman was mired in a 3-for-38 slump that dated back to April 28, and he hadn't homered since April 27. The performance against the Yankees was certainly a good start, but given the extent of his struggles, the 25-year-old's May average still remains a minuscule .088.

Manager Buck Showalter said Alvarez is not ready to start after testing his hamstring prior to Saturday's doubleheader, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

The manager failed to comment on whether Alvarez would be available off the bench, but it seems as though Showalter wants to give his third baseman a little more time to recover after leaving with a cramp during Thursday's affair. In his place, Jace Peterson will man the hot corner for Game 1 of Saturday's twin bill.

Urshela was added to the active roster prior to Saturday's game against Boston.

In order to make room for Urshela on the 25-man roster, Dalton Pompey was sent back to Triple-A Buffalo. Urshela will serve as a reserve infielder after coming over from Cleveland earlier this week.

Moustakas was 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 10-9 victory over Cleveland.

Moustakas hit an RBI double during the Royals' three-run sixth inning to help overcome a 9-4 deficit. The 29-year-old has continued his strong start to the season and is slashing .301/.335/.569 with 10 home runs and 29 RBI in 153 at-bats.

Ramirez was 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Friday's loss to the Royals.

The 25-year-old gave the Indians an early 2-0 lead with the two-run shot in the first inning, driving in Michael Brantley. Ramirez has a .287/.374/.587 slash line with 11 home runs and only 16 strikeouts in 143 at-bats this season.

Machado went 2-for-4 with two home runs and six RBI in Friday's 9-4 win over the Rays.

After launching a two-run shot off Jake Faria in the first inning, Machado blew the game open with a grand slam off Ryne Stanek in the seventh, giving him 12 homers on the year and 150 for his career. Machado now boasts a .354/.440/.667 slash line on the season, and his plate discipline has taken a huge step forward -- he now has a 23:21 BB:K through 38 games, putting him on pace for career bests in walk rate and strikeout rate.

Devers is not in Friday's lineup against the Blue Jays, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

Devers will get a breather following 12 straight starts, during which he's hit .255/.269/.471 with three home runs, five RBI and 16 strikeouts. Eduardo Nunez will man third base in his place while Brock Holt gets a start at second. Expect Devers back in the lineup Saturday.

Alvarez (hamstring) is not in the lineup against Tampa Bay on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Alvarez was forced to leave Thursday's contest with a hamstring cramp and will remain on the bench for the series opener. It doesn't appear as though this is anything more than a minor injury, so consider him day-to-day ahead of Saturday's doubleheader.
