Sosa was recalled by the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Sosa will likely fill a bench role with Matt Carpenter (foot) heading to the injured list and Tommy Edman likely ticketed for Carpenter's spot at third base. Sosa received three big-league plate appearances last season but has spent all of this year with Triple-A Memphis, where he's recorded an unimpressive .252/.304/.424 slash line, good for just a 73 wRC+.

Segura (heel) is not starting Tuesday against the Dodgers, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura left Monday's game in the ninth inning with a left heel injury, and the issue is apparently bad enough for him to sit for at least one game. Scott Kingery moves in to shortstop in his absence, with Adam Haseley starting in center field.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in a 16-2 victory against the Phillies on Monday.

Cody Bellinger and Muncy went deep in back-to-back at-bats during the seventh, which increased the Dodgers' lead to eight. Muncy has been on a power tear lately, as he has four homers in his last eight games. He is batting .267 with 24 home runs, 64 RBI, 60 runs and three steals in 322 at-bats this season.

Segura suffered a left heel injury during the ninth inning of Monday night's game against the Dodgers, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura doesn't believe the injury to be serious, but he did receive treatment after the contest and will be considered day-to-day moving forward.

McMahon isn't in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Giants.

McMahon drew the start at the keystone in Game 1, and he picked up a base knock along with a walk and an RBI. Garrett Hampson will start at second base and bat eighth for the nightcap.

Longoria will miss more than 10 days with a strained plantar fascia in his left foot, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The Giants were originally optimistic that Longoria could be back in action Monday, but an MRI revealed a strain which will keep him out for some time. Pablo Sandoval will act as the primary option at third base while Longoria is sidelined.

Longoria was placed on the 10-day injured list with plantar fasciitis on Monday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria left Sunday's game against the Brewers with the injury. The Giants were initially optimistic that he'd return after a brief absence, but that optimism was evidently premature. Ray Black was recalled in a corresponding move, with Pablo Sandoval expected to take over as the primary third baseman for the time being.

Longoria (foot) is not starting the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

The rest was expected after Longoria left Sunday's game against the Brewers due to plantar fasciitis. The Giants were reportedly optimistic at the time that Longoria could start in Monday's nightcap, which remains a possibility. Pablo Sandoval fills in at the hot corner in the meantime.

Longoria (foot) is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot, though manager Bruce Bochy is optimistic he'll be ready to play in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria was forced to exit Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee, but the hope is that the issue won't cause him to miss much time. The Giants should have a better idea on his availability following the first half of Monday's twin bill.

Longoria exited Sunday's game against the Brewers with left foot discomfort, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria was lifted for a pinch hitter during the fifth inning, but there was no clear indication he was otherwise dealing with an injury. The severity of the injury remains unclear, though it's poor timing regardless since the Giants have a doubleheader Monday in Colorado.
