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.

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.

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).
