The Brewers optioned Toro to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Toro hadn't started since June 6 and appeared in just one other game over the past week, so the Brewers deemed him expendable with the club needing to make room on the 26-man active roster for outfielder Raimel Tapia, who finalized a one-year deal Wednesday. During his two-week stay with Milwaukee, Toro went 4-for-8 with a home run and five RBI.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said after Tuesday's 11-3 win over the Cardinals that it's unclear if Davis (ankle) will need a stint on the 10-day injured list, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Kapler said that one or both of Luis Matos and David Villar will be called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, as San Francisco will place Mitch Haniger on the injured list with a fractured forearm. It's widely been reported that Matos is heading to St. Louis to join the club, and Villar's potential promotion likely hinges on whether the club believes Davis can get back on the field in the coming days.

Davis left Tuesday's game versus St. Louis with a sprained right ankle, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Davis injured the ankle early in the contest sliding into third base, and the veteran infielder was unable to continue. He should be considered day-to-day for now, but David Villar was removed from Triple-A Sacramento's game Tuesday, and will likely receive a promotion if and when the Giants place Davis on the 10-day injured list.

Davis was lifted from Tuesday's game against the Cardinals with an apparent ankle injury, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Davis appeared to injure his right ankle during an awkward slide into third base. The Giants will take a look at him and should provide more details shortly, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the time being.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Muncy is out of the lineup due to a left hamstring strain, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Muncy apparently strained his hamstring while running to first base during his final at-bat Sunday. He's scheduled to receive an MRI on Wednesday and won't return to the lineup until Thursday at the earliest.

Muncy is not in the lineup Tuesday against the White Sox.

Chris Taylor is covering third base and Mookie Betts will play shortstop as the Dodgers open a three-game series with Chicago. Muncy has gone 2-for-28 (.071) over his last eight games.

Senzel (knee) is set to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Senzel was initially supposed to start for Louisville on Sunday, but the game got rained out and the team had an off day Monday. The 27-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list since last Tuesday with right knee irritation and isn't eligible to be activated until Friday, so he'll likely make multiple starts in Triple-A.

Rivera went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 9-8 win over the Phillies.

Rivera was a pivotal contributor in the Diamondbacks' comeback from a 5-1 deficit. He singled and scored in the third and fourth innings, including an RBI knock, then brought in another run with a sacrifice fly. Rivera continues to swing a hot bat, having hit safely in 13 of the last 15 games (22-for-55, .400) while mustering eight multi-hit efforts.

Longoria went 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 9-8 win over Philadelphia.

Longoria knocked in a run on a sacrifice fly in the first inning and then gave Arizona some cushion in the sixth with a three-run home run. It was the seventh home run in the last 19 games for the 37-year-old veteran, who's slugging like a rookie again. For the season, Longoria is slugging .538, which would rank 12th in MLB if he qualified. And therein lies the issue for Longoria -- playing time. He has just 116 plate appearances over the team's 66 games.

Segura went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

His ninth-inning blast off Kendall Graveman was huge for the Marlins in a comeback win, and it was also Segura's first long ball of 2023. Miami has stuck with the struggling veteran, but so far the team's patience hasn't been rewarded -- over his last 20 games, Segura is slashing a paltry .186/.250/.271.
