Duffy is starting at third base and batting first in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Duffy delivered a go-ahead single off the bench Saturday, and he'll be rewarded with a start and leadoff duties in the series finale. The 30-year-old has seen more regular playing time at third with Kris Bryant shifting to the outfield to cover for Ian Happ (ribs). Duffy is slashing .309/.418/.364 through 55 at-bats, so he's making a case for continued playing time even after Happ returns from the injured list.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored Saturday in the Dodgers' 14-11 win over the Angels.

Muncy has begun to catch fire at the dish over his last five games, going 5-for-18 with three extra-base hits (two home runs, one double), five RBI, four runs and a 3:7 BB:K. Thanks to a magnificent 23.1 percent walk rate, Muncy has been especially valuable in fantasy leagues that swap out batting average (.223 season mark) for on-base percentage (.420).

Segura went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-7 loss to Atlanta on Saturday.

Segura homered in the first before singling in the fifth and seventh. He was ultimately removed as part of a double switch. He's gone 7-for-9 in two games since returning from injury and his .391 average would lead MLB if he qualified.

Segura went 4-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 12-2 rout of Atlanta.

The veteran infielder had missed the last 15 games with a quad injury, but Segura picked up right where he left off in his return to action as he paced a 16-hit attack by the Phillies. He now sports a .369/.391/.477 slash line through 18 contests on the season with one homer, one steal, seven RBI and nine runs.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in the 5-0 win over the Rockies on Friday.

Arenado doubled off Gomber and scored on a Harrison Bader home run in the second inning in his first game against his former team. The third baseman has 15 hits in his last 11 games and rides a current five-game hitting streak. He is slashing .283/.341/.496 in 138 plate appearances.

Segura (quadriceps) was activated off the 10-day injured list Friday.

Segura missed over two weeks with a strained right quadriceps. He'd gotten off to a hot start prior to the injury, hitting .333/.359/.450 through 17 games. He should return to his regular role at second base, pushing Nick Maton to the bench. Mickey Moniak was optioned in a corresponding move.

Anderson is out of the lineup Friday against the Brewers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson returned from the injured list Tuesday and started the past three games, and he'll head to the bench Friday after going 3-for-10 with a home run, a walk, four RBI and three runs. Jon Berti will take over at third base for the Marlins in the series opener versus Milwaukee.

Newman is not in the lineup Friday against the Cubs.

Newman will take a seat after starting the past three games and going 2-for-11 with one walk and one strikeout. Erik Gonzalez will take over at shortstop while Todd Frazier starts at third base Friday.

Segura (quadriceps) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura started a rehab assignment Tuesday but should return to the Phillies' lineup for Friday's series opener against Atlanta. The veteran missed just over two weeks due to his right quadriceps strain but hit .333 with a home run and five RBI in 17 games to begin the season.

Segura (quadriceps) will travel with the Phillies during their road trip that begins Friday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura has been out for over two weeks due to a right quadriceps strain, but he began a rehab assignment Tuesday. The Phillies haven't indicated which day Segura could be activated, but he could return to the lineup as early as Friday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
