Peterson isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Peterson will get a breather with left-hander Dillon Peters on the mound for the Pirates. Mike Brosseau will take over at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Segura is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

After a string of nine consecutive starts, Segura will get a breather for the penultimate game of the series with Colorado. He hit out of the leadoff spot in the last seven of those contests, turning in a .233/.303/.267 slash line while stealing a base, scoring four runs and driving in two more. Segura may continue to hold down the table-setting gig despite his underwhelming production atop the lineup, but manager Joe Girardi will turn the leadoff role over to Odubel Herrera for at least Wednesday's contest.

Newman (groin) is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that the shortstop suffered a left groin strain in Tuesday's loss to Milwaukee. The 28-year-old is expected to require a 3-to-5 week recovery timetable, so he'll be placed on the injured list. Diego Castillo and Tucupita Marcano should see more reps at shortstop while Newman is sidelined.

Arenado went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Mets.

Arenado was a bright spot in a game that saw the Cardinals get just three baserunners to second base, and none to third. The third baseman had gone 0-for-8 in his last two games, so it's encouraging to see him snap out of the skid before it turned into an extended slump. Arenado is slashing .344/.420/.672 with five home runs, 14 RBI, 10 runs scored and five doubles through 16 games.

McMahon went 0-for-1 with three walks and a run scored Tuesday against the Phillies.

McMahon was one of the few bright spots offensively for the Rockies besides Charlie Blackmon. McMahon has now reached base multiple times in three of his last six starts, and he's also posted four RBI and one run scored in that span. He has only seven extra-base hits across 65 plate appearances for the season -- good for a .164 ISO -- but he has also posted an impressive .345 wOBA.

Hayes went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, two runs scored and an RBI on Tuesday against the Brewers.

Hayes extended his hitting streak to five games, though this was his first multi-hit game in the span. However, he's been excellent throughout the early portion of the season, as he's failed to reach base in only one start in which he did not leave the contest early. The primary downside to Hayes' performance is his lack of power -- he has no home runs across 64 pate appearances -- though he's offset that a bit with a pair of stolen bases and eight runs scored.

Senzel went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Padres.

Cincinnati fell to 3-14 with the loss, but Senzel provided a bright spot with his solo shot off Robert Suarez in the ninth inning. It was Senzel's first homer since April 30, 2021 -- almost a full calendar year. He still has a lot to prove both in terms of health and performance, but at least for now Senzel appears to be feeling well after he recently missed some time due to illness.

Newman was removed from Tuesday's game against the Brewers with left groin tightness, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Newman missed three games with a left groin injury before returning to action last week, and it appears he aggravated the injury Tuesday. The 28-year-old went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run prior to exiting the contest and should be considered day-to-day.

McMahon went 2-for-3 with a double Monday against the Phillies.

Though he didn't record any counting stats, McMahon had a strong performance at the plate. He recorded his fourth multi-hit performance of the season, which brought his average up to .241. McMahon has only one home run of the season, but he has six doubles to go along with six runs scored and eight RBI across 61 plate appearances.

Longoria (finger) has started to increase his hitting progression, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Longoria began his hitting progression approximately a week ago after participating in limited baseball activities before then. The 36-year-old certainly appears to be trending in the right direction, but he doesn't yet have a timetable to return from the 10-day injured list.
