Segura was removed from Thursday's game against the Nationals with a right ankle sprain, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

Segura went 1-for-2 before exiting with the injury prior to the bottom of the fifth inning. With just three games left in the season and the Phillies out of playoff contention, Segura could be done for the year. Sean Rodriguez entered the game in his place.

Chapman went 2-for-5 with a go-ahead two-run home run in a win over the Angels on Wednesday.

Chapman erased a 2-1 deficit and set the Athletics up for a key victory by slugging a 436-foot shot to center in the ninth inning with Marcus Semien aboard. The power-hitting third baseman has parlayed just 11 hits in September into 14 RBI, with his five homers during the month playing a pivotal part. Chapman's month could be even bigger were it not for his significant troubles making consistent contact otherwise, as he's struck out on 30 occasions and has only gone without a strikeout in three of 21 games this month.

Duffy, who went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in a win over the Yankees on Wednesday, is hitting .316 (12-for-38) with six extra-base hits (three doubles, three home runs) over 46 plate appearances in September.

Some of his teammates have been grabbing the headlines recently with their game-winning hits, yet Duffy has rather quietly hit safely in 12 of his last 13 games. The veteran's .248/.340/.305 line for the season leaves something to be desired in terms of both batting average and slugging percentage, but his current stretch of hitting is a particularly welcome sight considering it's come during the Rays' playoff push and the fact he hit just .189 in August.

Candelario is not in Thursday's lineup against the Twins.

He is 5-for-27 (.185) with one home run over his last 10 games. John Hicks will start at first base and hit sixth.

Moustakas is not in Thursday's lineup against the Reds.

The Brewers are also resting veterans Ryan Braun and Lorenzo Cain after clinching a playoff spot Wednesday. Travis Shaw will start at third base and bat sixth.

Suarez is not in Thursday's lineup against the Brewers.

He will head to the bench a day after hitting his 49th long ball of the year. Manager David Bell said Wednesday that it would be nice to get Suarez to the 50-home-run plateau, so he should be back in action this weekend against the Pirates.

Donaldson went 3-for-6 with three doubles, four RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Royals.

The 33-year-old's trio of doubles marked a career-high as he drove in four runs to help lift the National League East champion Braves to victory. Donaldson now has 33 doubles, 37 home runs and 96 runs scored on the season while batting .258/.378/.523.

Suarez went 2-for-3 with a walk and solo home run Wednesday against the Brewers.

Suarez launched his 49th home run of the season in the first inning off Jordan Lyles. He continues to swing the bat incredibly well, collecting hits in nine of his last 11 starts and smacking four homers in his last nine contests. Even given the current advantageous environment for hitters, Suarez's season stands out as he's likely to join Pete Alonso in surpassing 50 home runs before the campaign comes to a close.

Machado is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Machado will be out of the lineup for the second time in three games as the Padres look to evaluate their roster for next season. Ty France is starting at third base Wednesday in Machado's stead.

Devers will not be in the lineup Thursday against the Rangers, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Devers, who is starting at third base and hitting second Wednesday, will head to the bench for Thursday's series finale as the Red Sox -- which are eliminated from the playoffs -- look to rest some of their regulars over the final week of the season.
