Duffy (achilles) will not return until after the All-Star break in mid-July, Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News reports.

Duffy left Sunday's game with an achilles injury that will leave him out until July 15 at the earliest. He is currently in a walking boot and it will take him around three weeks plus a rehab assignment before he is back on the field with the Giants. Duffy is hitting .253 with four home runs and 21 RBI during his 70 games with the club this season.

Rivera was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday.

Rivera will temporarily take the roster spot of Hernan Perez, who was placed on the paternity list to attend to the birth of his daughter. Rivera was with the Brewers for all of April and the first two weeks of May, posting a .196/.213/.261 slash line in 47 plate appearances. He hasn't fared much better at the Triple-A level.

Hayes, 19, is batting .269/.325/.399 with six home runs, 31 RBI and six steals through 55 games for Low-A West Virginia.

The teenager has not been overwhelmed at this level. The son of former big leaguer Charlie Hayes was a first round selection in the 2015 draft, and is expected to play the same position as his father. The younger Hayes is still a few years away from making an impact for the Pirates, but his future is bright, and his power is expected to develop as he matures.

Duffy has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with an Achilles strain, Andrew Baggarly of the Bay Area News Group reports.

Duffy has had minor Achilles problems in the past that have only forced him out of a few games, but this one is bad enough that he'll need at least two weeks before he can make it back. For now, it's unclear if he'll need to spend any more than the minimum time on the disabled list before he returns. Duffy underwent an MRI on Monday, and we'll update if the results reveal any more information. The Giants have not announced a corresponding roster move, although shortstop prospect Christian Arroyo, currently hitting .285/.330/.397 for Double-A Richmond, is a possibility.

Duffy (Achilles) had an MRI on Monday, Andrew Baggarly of the Bay Area News Group reports.

Duffy isn't expected to be available for Monday's game against the Pirates in any capacity. However, based off past experience with soreness in his Achilles heel, it isn't believed that Duffy will miss more than a few games and simply needs the time to rest. Ramiro Pena will likely get the nod and start at third base during Duffy's absence.

Duffy (Achilles) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

This will be Duffy's first game off this season as he looks to rest his Achilles. The 25-year-old is hitting .253/.313/.358 with four home runs, 21 RBI and eight stolen bases and should be considered day-to-day for now while Ramiro Pena starts at third base.

Asche is not in the lineup Monday against the Braves, Steve Gross of the Morning Call reports.

It will be a rare day off for Asche, who's started in left field in 15 of the Phillies' last 17 games. Philadelphia will go with an outfield of Tyler Goeddel in left, Odubel Herrera in center and Peter Bourjos in right Monday against the Diamondbacks' Shelby Miller.

Duffy exited Sunday's game with an Achilles injury and is considered day-to-day, Henry Schulman of MLB Network reports.

Duffy reportedly dealt with the issue in spring training as well, and it isn't expected to hold him out more than a couple days. Conor Gillaspie seems the likely candidate to start at third base in his absence.

Duffy left Sunday's game in the seventh inning for an undisclosed reason, Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Duffy must have tweaked something while on the basepaths, as he did not re-enter the game after recording a single in the top of the seventh inning. Consider the infielder day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Pittsburgh.

Segura is out of the lineup Sunday against the Phillies, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

With five multi-hit efforts in his last eight starts, Segura's fantasy value is on the rise again, but he'll get the afternoon off for rest Sunday. Phil Gosselin will cover the keystone at hit leadoff in Segura's stead.
