Segura went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Mets.

He took David Peterson deep in the fifth inning for his first homer of the year, ruining the Mets' shutout bid. The veteran infielder has a six-game hit streak going, pushing his batting average through 12 games up to .295 (13-for-44).

Mets manager Luis Rojas said Davis (hand) took batting practice Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Given that he was able to take full swings just three days after being placed on the injured list, Davis appears on track for a brief absence. The Mets will get by with Luis Guillorme and Jonathan Villar as their primary options at third base while Davis is on the mend.

Hayes (wrist) took swings Tuesday and Wednesday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Hayes has been sidelined since April 4 due to left wrist inflammation, and he's been making progress at the team's alternate training site. The 24-year-old hasn't yet faced live pitching but has been taking swings in the cage against soft toss. The Pirates haven't revealed a timetable for his return, but team sports medicine director Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Hayes will need to continue swinging without soreness before he's cleared for game action. Tomczyk said it was a "safe assumption" that Hayes wouldn't be activated Thursday but didn't rule him out for the team's series in Milwaukee over the weekend, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Longoria isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs and a strikeout in Tuesday's matchup. However, Tommy La Stella will shift to third base for Wednesday's series finale while Donovan Solano starts at second base.

Muncy went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk and two RBI in Tuesday's win over Colorado.

Muncy belted a double in the fourth inning to score the Dodgers' sixth run, then capped the scoring with a solo shot to center field in the sixth. He also drew his 10th walk of the campaign, putting him one behind Mike Trout for the MLB lead. Muncy's hot hitting and keen eye has pushed his season stat line to an impressive .400/.543/.686, and he has contributed a pair of homers and seven RBI on the season.

Longoria went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two totals runs scored in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Reds.

Longoria got aboard with a first-inning single and scored on Brandon Crawford's two-run shot. In the sixth, Longoria added a game-tying solo shot of his own. The third baseman is crushing the ball early in 2021 with a .316/.366/.658 slash line, four homers, eight RBI and six runs scored across 41 plate appearances.

Senzel isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Senzel has gone hitless with a strikeout in his last 11 at-bats, and he'll get a breather for Wednesday's series finale against San Francisco. Tyler Naquin will start in center field Wednesday, batting sixth.

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

Peterson will retreat to the bench once again after going hitless with two walks and three strikeouts in eight at-bats this year. Keston Hiura will start at second base while Daniel Vogelbach will take over at first base.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional RBI in Tuesday's 14-8 win over Atlanta.

Anderson finally rewarded fantasy managers for their patience with Tuesday's performance. The 27-year-old had been struggling early on with just five hits in his first 30 at-bats but shook off the rust with a three-hit performance, including his first home run of the season. It's an encouraging sign to see him finally liven up at the plate, but fantasy managers should continue to take a cautious approach until he can prove that Tuesday's hitting clinic wasn't just a one-game effort.

Machado went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Pirates.

Machado is riding an eight-game hitting streak and has also notched a stolen base in back-to-back contests. The 28-year-old is staying consistent with his ability to get on base but hasn't made a ton of noise with his bat just yet. He's slashing .250/.377/.432 with two homers, five RBI and six runs scored to go along with a 9:12 BB:K. He's typically slotted in the order behind two of the team's hottest hitters in Trent Grisham and Jake Cronenworth and should continue to have plenty of RBI chances as long as those guys continue to keep getting on base.
