    Phillies' Jean Segura: Nursing hamstring strain

    Segura was diagnosed with a mild left hamstring strain Tuesday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Segura exited Tuesday's game against the Mets after the first inning with hamstring tightness, and apparently sustained the injury on the basepaths. The 29-year-old will be re-evaluated Wednesday morning.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Progressing towards return

    McMahon (elbow) was playing in extended spring training games Tuesday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

    McMahon landed on the injured list April 6 after hyperextending his left elbow and appears to be nearing his return. The 24-year-old will play in another spring training game Wednesday and is eligible to be activated off the IL when ready.

    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).
