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.

Moustakas was placed on the 10-day injured list with a non-COVID illness Tuesday.

Moustakas had been out of action since Wednesday with the issue, though he was initially listed as part of the Reds' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks. The Reds can backdate the transaction by three days, but he'll still be out until at least next Tuesday. Alex Blandino will replace him on the active roster, though it's Kyle Farmer who will replace him in Tuesday's lineup.

Machado is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

Machado was banged up with back and shoulder issues late last week but was never forced to miss any time. It's unclear whether Tuesday's off day is a routine one or if it's related to his minor injuries. Ha-Seong Kim will start at third base in his absence.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Farmer had started at third base in place of Mike Moustakas (illness) in each of the last three games, going 1-for-6 with three walks and a run scored during that time. Moustakas is healthy again following Monday's off day, so Farmer will move back into a bench role for Cincinnati.

Moustakas (illness) will start at third base and bat fifth Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Moustakas checks back into the starting nine after he was sidelined for the Reds' last three games with the illness. Kyle Farmer had started in each of those games while Moustakas was ill, but he'll head back to the bench for Tuesday's series opener.

Muncy is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

Muncy finds himself on the bench for the first time this season as the Dodgers go with a very righty-heavy setup against southpaw Justus Sheffield. Edwin Rios will play first base in his absence.

Maton was called up and will make his major-league debut Monday against the Giants, batting eighth and playing shortstop.

Maton earned the call as presumably a bench infielder, filling the spot left vacant with Ronald Torreyes landing on the COVID-19 injured list. While he's starting right away, a bench role is the most likely future for the 24-year-old. He's a competent defender at shortstop but is unlikely to hit enough to be a regular, posting a career .259/.342/.378 slash line in the minors.

Riley went 2-for-3 with two runs scored Sunday in Atlanta's 13-4 win over the Cubs.

Riley reached base four times on the night, as he was plunked by pitches twice in addition to providing a pair of singles. While Sunday's game was one of Riley's better performances of the season, his lack of power production continues to frustrate fantasy managers. He has yet to record an extra-base hit in 56 plate appearances on the campaign.

General manager Ben Cherington said Hayes (wrist) will report to the Pirates' alternate site Tuesday to play in a rehab game against Triple-A Toledo, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Speaking on his weekly radio appearance on 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh, Cherington said that Hayes is ready to test his left wrist out in a game setting after taking batting practice again Sunday without issue. Cherington added that Hayes is "hopefully not too long away from being activated," perhaps suggesting that the third baseman could be ready to rejoin the Pirates before next weekend.

Newman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Erik Gonzalez will fill in at shortstop after Newman started in each of the Pirates' previous seven games. After a red-hot spring training, Newman has been unable to keep the momentum going so far during the regular season. Through 14 games, Newman has gone 9-for-54 (.167 average) with only two extra-base hits (both doubles).
