  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Nursing quad strain

    Bregman left Wednesday's game against the Rangers with a left quad strain, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

    The third baseman's limp suggested a leg-related injury, and this update confirmed as much. It's unclear at this time how severe the quad strain is and how long Bregman will be sidelined.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Could miss three weeks

    Segura (groin) is nursing a Grade 1 strain to his left groin and may miss as many as three weeks, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Segura's absence was already a big blow to the Phillies, but confirmation he'll likely miss a few weeks is especially crushing. Nick Maton, Brad Miller and Luke Williams will be tasked with filling in at second base while Segura recovers.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Removed from Wednesday's game

    Bregman exited Wednesday's contest against the Rangers with a limp, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

    Bregman pulled up limp after grounding into a double play in the first inning. The specifics about his injury, and whether he'll miss any time, should become clear following the game. Robel Garcia came in to replace Bregman at third base.

  • Nick Maton DH | CHW

    Phillies' Nick Maton: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Phillies recalled Maton from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Maton will be called upon to help fill in for Jean Segura (groin), whom the Phillies placed on the injured list Wednesday. The 24-year old has been moderately successful at the big-league level in 2021, hitting .252 with two homers in 103 at-bats. Maton will almost certainly remain with the Phillies until Segura returns to action, and possibly longer.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Lands on injured list

    Segura (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Manager Joe Girardi had expressed doubt in Segura's ability to return within a few days, and the shortstop will indeed miss no fewer than ten with the left groin strain. The injury comes at a brutal time for Segura, who has hit .373 in his last 12 games. Nick Maton was recalled Wednesday to help fill the infield void left by Segura's absence.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Progressing in recovery

    Muncy (oblique) is pain-free and remains on-track for a minimum stay on the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    With his current trajectory, Muncy could return Tuesday during what's likely to be a hotly-contested series against the Padres. Though he endured a 3-for-21 stretch in eight games before the injury, Muncy still boasts a .418 OBP and has undoubtedly been one of the Dodgers' most impactful bats this season.

  • Abraham Toro 1B | BOS

    Astros' Abraham Toro: Rejoins Astros

    Toro was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

    The 24-year-old return to the majors for the first time since late April with Kyle Tucker (illness) landing on the COVID-19 injured list. Toro is 1-for-12 this season and will provide infield depth with Aledmys Diaz (hand) also sidelined.

  • Edmundo Sosa LF | PHI

    Cardinals' Edmundo Sosa: Diagnosed with hand contusion

    Sosa underwent X-rays after leaving Wednesday's game against the Marlins that came back negative and revealed a right hand contusion, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

    Sosa was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning Wednesday and needed several minutes to regroup before heading to first base. Although he remained in the game initially, he was replaced at second base to begin the eighth inning. The 25-year-old is considered day-to-day following his diagnosis.

  • Edmundo Sosa LF | PHI

    Cardinals' Edmundo Sosa: Exits after HBP

    Sosa left Wednesday's game against the Marlins in the top of the eighth inning after he was hit by a pitch on his right wrist, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Sosa appeared to be in considerable pain after he took a pitch to his right hand in the bottom of the seventh inning, but he was initially able to stay in the game. However, he was replaced defensively to begin the eighth inning. The exact nature and severity of the 25-year-old's injury aren't yet clear. He went 1-for-2 with a base hit and his third stolen base of the season before departing.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Expected back Thursday

    White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that he expects Moncada (illness) to rejoin the lineup Thursday against the Astros, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

    Moncada will remain on the bench for a third straight game Wednesday against the Rays, though La Russa didn't rule out the possibility of the 26-year-old making a cameo off the bench as a pinch hitter. The White Sox would seemingly prefer to stay away from Moncada for another day as a precaution, but at his point, he appears to be making progress in his recovery from a sinus infection. Moncada will likely be re-evaluated early Thursday before the White Sox provide an update on his availability for the series opener in Houston.
