Suarez isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Suarez struck out in each of his four at-bats Tuesday, and he'll get a breather in Wednesday's matchup. Alejo Lopez will start at third base and bat fifth.

Arenado went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Arizona.

The veteran third baseman broke a scoreless tie in the fifth inning with a two-run shot to left field. The long ball was his team-leading 16th of the season, putting him one ahead of Tyler O'Neill. Arenado has gone deep four times in his past 10 games. Over that stretch, he is complementing the homer total by batting .303 with four doubles, eight RBI and a 6:3 BB:K.

Anderson (shoulder) has been participating in defensive drills and taking soft toss, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

This is the first word of the third baseman taking swings since landing on the injured list with a left shoulder subluxation in late May. Anderson won't be eligible to come off the 60-day IL until July 27, but he could potentially go on a rehab assignment earlier in July.

Duffy (back) was transferred to the 60-day injured list, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

The move clears space on the 40-man roster for the Cubs to select Adam Morgan's contract. It doesn't look as though it will significantly impact Duffy's return date. He was previously thought to be on track to return around the All-Star break and will now be ineligible to come back before July 22, which may not wind up representing much more than a brief delay.

The Phillies will activate Segura (groin) from the 10-day injured list before Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

As expected, Segura will return for Tuesday's series opener after missing nearly two weeks with a Grade 1 strain to his left groin. The infielder was on an absolute tear before the injury, hitting .373 with four doubles, a triple and eight RBI in his last 12 games. Now that he's healthy once again, Segura figures to slot in as Philadelphia's everyday second baseman, relegating Brad Miller to a backup role. The Phillies have yet to announce a corresponding roster move.

Sosa (leg) went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in a win over the Diamondbacks on Monday.

The valued utility player was given the weekend off after exiting Friday's game early with cramps, and the downtime apparently did him some good. The multi-hit effort was Sosa's first since June 14, while the two-bagger marked the 25-year-old's first extra-base hit since he launched his first career home run against the Reds on June 4.

Peterson went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a walk and a steal in Monday's victory over the Cubs.

Peterson has filled in admirably for the injured Kolten Wong (calf) over the past two days, reaching base a total of seven times. He will fill a utility role when Wong is back in action, but Peterson has been a capable fill-in when needed, posting a .365 OBP and .745 OPS over 30 appearances this season.

Wisdom went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Monday's 14-4 loss to the Brewers.

Wisdom pinch hit in the seventh inning for Kyle Hendricks and slammed a homer off Brad Boxberger to tie the game. The 29-year-old has been a nice surprise for the Cubs as an injury fill-in, slashing .277/.341/.699 in 91 plate appearances. However, he's slowed down over his last 11 games, batting just .154 in that span.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout as Los Angeles defeated San Francisco 3-2 on Monday.

Muncy went back-to-back with Mookie Betts in the bottom of the first to give Los Angeles an early 2-0 lead but wasn't able to contribute otherwise in a game where all five runs came on solo homers. He's now reached base in all six games since returning from injury as he remains one of the premier on-base threats in the league.

Sosa (leg) is starting Monday's game against Arizona, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Sosa had missed the last few games due to cramps, but he's healthy enough to return to the lineup for Monday's series opener. He'll start at second base and bat eighth in his return.
