  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Exits with hamstring tightness

    Segura left Tuesday's game against the Mets with left hamstring tightness, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Segura went 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored as the Phillies scored 10 runs during the first inning, but he didn't retake the field for the second inning. Andrew Knapp replaced him in the lineup while Scott Kingery took over at shortstop. Segura should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

  • Drew Robinson 3B | TEX

    Cardinals' Drew Robinson: Sent back to minors

    Robinson was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

    Robinson was called up as outfield depth Monday and was needed right away as Tyler O'Neill left the game with an arm injury. He will be replaced in a bench role by Yairo Munoz, who was recalled in a corresponding move.

  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    Reds' Nick Senzel: Playing at extended spring training

    Senzel (ankle) played three innings in center field during an extended spring training game Monday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Senzel also recorded two at-bats and reported no issues afterwards. The 23-year-old is scheduled to play five innings in another extended spring game Wednesday as he continues to build back up to full strength. While he remains without a timetable for his return, Senzel is certainly trending in the right direction.

  • Kyle Farmer 3B | ATL

    Reds' Kyle Farmer: Token first base start

    Farmer is getting a start at first base Monday in place of Joey Votto, batting eighth against the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    The Reds are stacking the lineup with right-handers against Kershaw, with Scott Schebler being the only lefty in the lineup. Farmer is one of five former Dodgers in the lineup along with Yasiel Puig, Schebler, Jose Peraza and Matt Kemp.

  • Drew Robinson 3B | TEX

    Cardinals' Drew Robinson: Rejoins big club

    Robinson was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

    Robinson will provide additional outfield depth for the Cardinals for the time being while Harrison Bader deals with a hamstring injury. He's appeared in three games for the Cardinals this season (all as a pinch hitter), going 0-for-3 with a strikeout in those appearances. Giovanny Gallegos was returned to the minors in a corresponding move.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Socks solo shot

    Davis went 1-for-2 with a home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-3 loss to Atlanta.

    Davis' second-inning blast was the only damage the Mets could create off Braves starter Julio Teheran. He entered 2019 with five homers in 165 MLB at-bats but already has three in 35 at-bats this season.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Braves' Josh Donaldson: Homers in second straight game

    Donaldson went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two walks in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Mets.

    The 33-year-old slugger took Mets starter Jacob DeGrom deep in the fifth inning. Donaldson started the year 4-for-27 but is 10-for-26 on his current seven-game hitting streak. He's homered in two straight and has seven extra-base hits during that span.

  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Marlins' Brian Anderson: Accounts for team's lone run

    Anderson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

    Anderson tied the game in the sixth with a solo blast to left field, but the Marlins would fall 3-1 in a 14-inning affair. He's now homered in back-to-back contests, though his batting average thus far leaves something to be desired (.228 over 15 games).

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Mercifully ends 14-inning contest

    Segura went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and two walks in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

    With the score tied 1-1 in the 14th inning, Segura took matters into his own hands and launched a two-run blast to left field. The Phillies managed to close things out in the bottom of the inning without issue. The 29-year-old shortstop turned in a solid weekend at the dish, collecting five hits, including two extra-base knocks, during a three-game showdown with Miami.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Hits first homer

    Arenado went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and two walks in Colorado's 4-0 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

    The slugging third baseman had been in a prolonged slump to start the season, but he finally broke out with his first homer of 2019 in this one, tagging Derek Holland for a three-run bomb in the fifth inning. Hopefully this is a sign that Arenado is ready to put the slow start behind him and get back to the form that has made him one of the premier hitters in baseball for the past few seasons.
