Jean Segura 3B | CLE
Phillies' Jean Segura: Back in lineup
Segura (personal) is back in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Segura had been out of the lineup since Sunday for personal reasons. He didn't start Tuesday, but he wound up playing the majority of the game off the bench. He'll be involved from the start of the game Wednesday, batting fifth and playing shortstop.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Three-game homer streak
Arenado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday in the Rockies' 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.
Arenado is enjoying a 10-game hitting streak, but it hasn't helped the Rockies' fortunes much with the team losing nine of those contests. Fantasy managers are certainly benefiting, however, and Arenado looks on track to wrap up the campaign with new personal bests in both home runs and batting average. His .312 average sits three points above his career-best mark from 2017, and he's just five homers away from matching his career-high 42 from 2015.

Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN
Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Still sitting Wednesday
Suarez (hand) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies.
Suarez received good news in the form of a negative X-ray after getting hit in the hand by a pitch Sunday, but he'll nevertheless remain out of the lineup for the third straight game. Alex Blandino starts at third base.

Max Muncy 3B | LAD
Dodgers' Max Muncy: Taking groundballs Wednesday
Muncy (wrist) is scheduled to field groundballs Wednesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Muncy could return next week, and his resumption of baseball activities bodes well for that potential timeline. Assuming all goes well Wednesday, the 29-year-old is expected to advance to hitting shortly thereafter.

Brian Anderson RF | ATL
Marlins' Brian Anderson: Shifts to 60-day IL
Anderson was placed on the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Anderson has already been shut down for the season after fracturing a finger on his left hand, so this move simply clears up a roster spot.

Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW
Brewers' Mike Moustakas: Still nursing injury
Moustakas was removed from Monday's game against the Astros in the ninth inning after experiencing pain in his left wrist, which is why he's not starting Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Moustakas was cleared to enter Monday's starting lineup, though he was unable to make it through the entire game. He'll be considered day-to-day until another update on his status is provided.

Carter Kieboom 3B | CLE
Nationals' Carter Kieboom: Unlikely to see September callup
Kieboom isn't expected to be promoted from Triple-A Fresno during the final month of the season, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.
Kieboom will head to West Palm Beach to see at-bats in case he does need to be called up, though the Nationals are unlikely to promote the prospect unless there's an injury. He made his big-league debut earlier this year, going 5-for-39 with two home runs and four walks over 11 games.

Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW
Brewers' Mike Moustakas: Sitting Tuesday
Moustakas isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.
Moustakas was given the green light to return Monday after missing time due to a wrist injury, so he's likely receiving Tuesday off as a precaution. Travis Shaw draws the start at the hot corner and will bat sixth.

Kevin Newman 3B | LAA
Pirates' Kevin Newman: Kept out of starting nine
Newman (leg) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.
Newman was held out of Sunday's matchup due to leg tightness, and even after benefitting from an off day Monday, he'll be held out of the starting lineup again Tuesday. It's unknown if he'll be available off the bench.

Jean Segura 3B | CLE
Phillies' Jean Segura: Expected to be available off bench
Segura (personal) is on his way to Cincinnati and should be available off the bench Tuesday against the Reds, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Segura flew to the Dominican Republic following the passing of his grandmother, and while he's not in Tuesday's starting nine, he'll likely arrive to the ballpark in time to be available if needed.
