  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Takes seat Thursday

    Segura is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Padres, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Segura will take a seat after starting the last four games, going 4-for-17 with a homer, three RBI, two runs and two stolen bases. Johan Camargo will start at second base and bat seventh in the contest.

  • Matt Reynolds 3B | CIN

    Reds' Matt Reynolds: Takes seat Thursday

    Reynolds is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

    Reynolds had been in line to sit out Wednesday's game in Cleveland before the contest was ultimately rained out. He'll now get a proper day off for the series finale Thursday, with outfielder Albert Almora effectively replacing him in the starting nine.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Swats ninth homer

    Arenado went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

    The veteran third baseman brought St. Louis to within two runs with his shot to left field in the eighth inning, but New York poured on five runs in the bottom of the frame to put the game out of reach. Arenado has followed a nine-game homerless stretch with a pair of long balls in his past four games and is up to a team-high nine homers on the season. He continues to hit well in his 10th big-league campaign, slashing .306/.365/.597 across 148 plate appearances.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Swipes fourth bag

    Hayes went 1-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored Wednesday against the Cubs.

    Hayes narrowly missed a home run in the third inning but instead settled for his 10th double of the campaign. He proceeded to immediately steal third base -- his fourth of the season -- and also came around to score. Despite the strong performance, Hayes has only four hits across his last 28 at-bats while producing just two RBI and one run scored in that span.

  • Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI

    Cardinals' Edmundo Sosa: Nursing ankle strain

    Sosa was diagnosed with a strained left ankle after leaving Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Sosa went 1-for-2 and suffered the injury when he was caught attempting to steal second base during the fifth inning. It's interesting the injury was announced as a strain rather than a sprain, and he's been labeled day-to-day.

  • Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI

    Cardinals' Edmundo Sosa: Exits with injury

    Sosa was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mets with an apparent leg injury, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Sosa appeared to suffer the injury when he was caught stealing during the fifth inning, and he initially remained in the contest before being replaced in the field. He should be considered day-to-day since the specifics of the injury are unclear.

  • Jace Peterson SS | ARI

    Brewers' Jace Peterson: Swipes sixth bag

    Peterson went 0-for-1 with a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings win over Atlanta.

    While he didn't get the start, Peterson still played a huge role in the Brewers' come-from-behind win. He pinch hit for Mike Brosseau in the ninth inning, drew a walk off Kenley Jansen and then scored the tying run, before crossing the plate with the game-winning run in the 11th on Keston Hiura's walkoff homer. Peterson should be able to keep a consistent role at third base while Luis Urias is covering shortstop for Willy Adames (ankle), and while the veteran utility player is only batting .224 through 87 plate appearances on the year, it comes with three homers, six steals, nine RBI and 16 runs.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Socks eighth homer

    Riley went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Brewers.

    The third baseman took Corbin Burnes deep in the third to get Atlanta on the board. The blast snapped a 13-game homer drought for Riley, a stretch during which he hit only .157 (8-for-51) with a single RBI. He carries a .799 OPS with eight home runs and 18 RBI through 37 games.

  • Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA

    Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Wisdom isn't starting Wednesday against the Pirates.

    Wisdom hit just .111 with a home run, a double, two runs and 10 strikeouts over the last five games, and he'll get a breather after drawing eight consecutive starts. Christopher Morel will start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    Reds' Nick Senzel: Rehab assignment begins Wednesday

    Senzel (illness) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

    Senzel has been on the COVID-19 injured list since May 4, but he's been cleared to return to game action with the minor-league club. Manager David Bell previously said that the Reds are hopeful Senzel will be able to rejoin the team for the start of the next homestead, which begins May 23 against the Cubs. If that's the case, the 26-year-old should appear in several minor-league games before likely rejoining the big-league club early next week.
