Jean Segura 3B | CLE
Marlins' Jean Segura: Lands on injured list
The Marlins placed Segura on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left hamstring strain, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Segura sat out Friday's game against the Nationals and will now be forced to sit out another 10 days as a result of his injury. Jacob Amaya was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move and figures to see a fair share of infield opportunities during Segura's absence.

Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN
Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Tough road trip
Hayes went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base Friday against the Brewers.
Hayes delivered a two-RBI single in the seventh inning and then proceeded to steal third base for his eighth swiped bag of the campaign. He's struggled across the last week of action, collecting only four hits across 24 at-bats while striking out 10 times. Overall, Hayes' results remain mediocre, though his .144 ISO is the highest mark in any of his full seasons in the majors.

Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Lands on IL
The Cubs placed Wisdom on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a sprained right wrist, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Wisdom has been struggling at the plate recently, going just 2-for-24 since the beginning of June. Now, he will be shelved for at least 10 days as he nurses his right wrist. Justin Steele (forearm) was activated off the 15-day injured list Saturday and will replace Wisdom on the active roster.

Michael Busch 1B | CHC
Dodgers' Michael Busch: Recalled from Triple-A
Busch was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
Busch was recalled to take the place of Max Muncy, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain. In 19 at-bats with the Dodgers earlier in the year, Busch slashed .211/.348/.211 with four walks and nine strikeouts over seven games. The 25-year-old is considered one of the better prospects in the Los Angeles system, but it's not yet clear what role he'll have during this big-league stint.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Placed on injured list
The Dodgers placed Muncy (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Friday.
Muncy will miss at least a week after suffering a hamstring strain during last Sunday's game versus the Phillies. The Dodgers called up Michael Busch from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take Muncy's spot on the 26-man active roster, but Chris Taylor may get the first crack at replacing Muncy as Los Angeles' everyday third baseman.

Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Gets breather Friday
De La Cruz isn't in the Reds' lineup Friday against the Astros, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
After taking the majors by storm with a hot start to his MLB career, De La Cruz has cooled off as of late with just a .470 OPS over the last seven days. He'll get a day off Friday to regroup while Nick Senzel covers third base, Spencer Steer moves to left field and Kevin Newman starts at first.

Reds' Nick Senzel: Reinstated, starting Friday
Senzel (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is batting seventh while starting at third base Friday versus the Astros, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Senzel will return to the big leagues Friday after missing the minimum 10 days while nursing a sore right knee. The 27-year-old appeared in two games with Triple-A Louisville while on a rehab assignment, going 2-for-7 with two runs scored while walking once and striking out twice. Prior to getting hurt, Senzel had produced a .277 average with three doubles, nine RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base over his previous 13 games. Jose Barrero was optioned to Louisville in order to open a roster spot for Senzel.
