Machado went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and a double during Wednesday's win against the Rangers.

With one out and the Padres trailing in the 10th inning, Machado came through for his team by smacking a 436-foot walk-off grand slam against Rafael Montero. He also doubled in the third. It was the second grand slam of the season and the sixth career walk-off for Machado, who now has six long balls on the year while averaging .222/.325/.455.

Bregman was diagnosed with a strained right hamstring after leaving Wednesday's win over the Rockies, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman sustained the injury running out a double during the fourth inning and was quickly removed after limping into second base. Manager Dusty Baker said he expects the 26-year-old to "be more sore in the morning than he is now," so he seems unlikely to be in the lineup for Thursday's series finale.

Ramirez went 0-for-3 but drew two walks, scored two runs, and stole two bases Wednesday against the Pirates.

Ramirez was hitless but found other ways to be productive, coming around to score both times he reached base on free passes. His pair of his stolen bases came in the eighth inning, when he stole second and third base one batter apart. Ramirez now has five stolen bases for the season, and is hitting .256/.364/.500 with five home runs, 19 runs scored and 18 RBI across 107 plate appearances.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox.

Detroit changed up its lineup in this one, moving Candelario up to the leadoff spot for the first time this season. The 26-year-old responded with a strong performance, and he's looked better lately after a slow start to the year. Over his last 12 games, Candelario is batting .327 with two home runs, eight RBI and 10 runs scored.

Bregman exited Wednesday's game against the Rockies with right hamstring discomfort, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The 26-year-old appeared to suffer the injury while running to second base on his fourth-inning double, leading to his prompt removal from the contest. The Astros will already be without Yordan Alvarez (knee) for the remainder of the season and Michael Brantley (quadriceps) is still on the injured list, so the lineup can ill afford to be without another key piece. Bregman should be considered day-to-day until the team offers more information on the injury.

Suarez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a stolen base and a walk in a 5-0 win over the Royals in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Suarez went back-to-back with Jesse Winker as part of a three-run third inning for the Reds. The multi-hit effort was Suarez's first of the season. He also added his first stolen base of the year after drawing a walk in the fifth inning. The third baseman is hitting just .141 with three homers, seven RBI and eight runs scored in 21 games this year.

Bregman was removed from Wednesday's game with an apparent leg injury, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The 26-year-old hit a double during the fourth inning Wednesday, but he pulled up while running to first base and exited after limping into second. Bregman should be considered day-to-day until the team offers more information on the injury.

Segura (hamstring) will likely return to action Thursday against the Blue Jays, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Segura was held out of the Phillies' lineup while dealing with a hamstring issue over the past two games, but manager Joe Girardi said that he should be ready to return for Thursday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays. The 30-year-old is slashing .222/.344/.426 with three home runs and four RBI this season.

Burger (Achilles) was added to the White Sox's 60-man player pool Wednesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Burger was playing in an independent league to get reps this season after he was left off the team's 60-man roster, but he'll now get to work at alternate camp in Schaumburg. He hasn't seen any game action since 2017 due to Achilles issues, and it's unclear whether he's game ready for the shortened 2020 season.

Senzel was placed on the injured list Wednesday.

The Reds didn't specify a reason for the move, but it could potentially be related to the positive coronavirus test that caused the Reds' past few games to get postponed. It's possible Senzel was the person who tested positive, though players can be placed on the COVID-19 injured list merely for having been exposed to someone who tested positive, so it's difficult to know for sure. Shogo Akiyama slides to center field for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals.
