Peterson went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Padres.

Peterson started Wednesday after slugging a pinch-hit home run Tuesday. The 30-year-old produced his first multi-hit game of the season and homered in the sixth inning off Keone Kela. Peterson is taking full advantage of the opportunities currently afforded by injuries to multiple Brewers starters.

Castro is making his MLB debut in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates. He is starting at third base and batting eighth.

The Pirates protected Castro from the Rule 5 draft by adding him to the 40-man roster this past offseason, and that will enable him to make his MLB debut before playing a game at Double-A or Triple-A. Castro hits the ball really hard but has some major swing-and-miss concerns. He can play second base in addition to the hot corner and will likely head back to the minors in the near future.

Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Wednesday that Anderson is "a little nicked up" with a side issue, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Several position players for the Marlins are dealing with injuries, so Mattingly elected to hold Anderson out of the lineup Wednesday to help preserve his long-term health. The injury doesn't sound like a significant concern, but it's not yet clear whether Anderson will return to action for Thursday's series opener against San Francisco.

Castro was recalled by the Pirates on Wednesday.

Castro was sent down by the Pirates in mid-March and hasn't yet played above High-A. However, he'll join the major-league roster after Anthony Alford was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Castro hit .136 with two home runs and six RBI this spring and should mainly serve in a depth role for the Pirates.

Segura was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a right quadriceps strain, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura exited Tuesday's game against San Francisco due to the injury and underwent an MRI on Wednesday. The 31-year-old will be eligible to return from the injured list as early as May 1, but it's not clear whether he'll be healthy enough to do so. Brad Miller will start at second base against the Giants on Wednesday, while Scott Kingery was recalled in a corresponding move.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Longoria would be rested for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

San Francisco is closing out its series in Philadelphia with a day game, so the 35-year-old Longoria will just be getting some routine maintenance. He provided a pair of doubles and scored twice across his nine at-bats over the first two games of the series.

Anderson isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson has hit just .120 with a double, one RBI and eight strikeouts in his last six games. Jon Berti will take his place at third base Wednesday, batting seventh.

Peterson went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Padres.

Peterson entered in the seventh inning to pinch hit for Corbin Burnes, but he stayed in the game at second base. His second plate appearance led to his first home run of the season, which came off Craig Stammen in the ninth inning. Peterson is getting more playing time with Kolten Wong (oblique) on the 10-day injured list, but he usually comes off the bench. He only has three hits and three walks in 24 plate appearances.

Davis went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run Tuesday against the Cubs.

An early trip to the injured list has caused a slow start to the season for Davis. However, he showed signs of getting on track Tuesday, taking Jake Arrieta deep for his first homer of the season, which accounted for the Mets' only run of the game.

Segura exited Tuesday's game against the Giants with a strained right quadriceps, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The 31-year-old was pulled from Tuesday's contest after receiving a visit from the athletic trainer following his groundout to close the third inning. According to Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Segura will undergo an MRI on Wednesday to determine the severity of the injury, so he'll likely be unavailable for the series finale versus the Giants.
