Sosa was recalled by the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Sosa will likely fill a bench role with Matt Carpenter (foot) heading to the injured list and Tommy Edman likely ticketed for Carpenter's spot at third base. Sosa received three big-league plate appearances last season but has spent all of this year with Triple-A Memphis, where he's recorded an unimpressive .252/.304/.424 slash line, good for just a 73 wRC+.

Segura (heel) is not starting Tuesday against the Dodgers, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura left Monday's game in the ninth inning with a left heel injury, and the issue is apparently bad enough for him to sit for at least one game. Scott Kingery moves in to shortstop in his absence, with Adam Haseley starting in center field.

Devers went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 10-8 win over the Blue Jays.

The All-Star break did little to cool off Devers' hot bat. The third baseman, who deserved to be an All-Star but wasn't, is 6-for-16 with a home run, two doubles, four RBI and three runs scored in the four games since the break.

Duffy (hamstring) played all nine innings at third base for Triple-A Durham against Toledo on Monday and went 0-for-3 while also getting hit by a pitch.

Duffy has now played back-to-back full games in the field for the Bulls. The veteran infielder is up to 24 at-bats overall in the current phase of his rehab, just one short of the front end of the range the Rays had emphasized they'd like to see him hit before considering activation.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in a 16-2 victory against the Phillies on Monday.

Cody Bellinger and Muncy went deep in back-to-back at-bats during the seventh, which increased the Dodgers' lead to eight. Muncy has been on a power tear lately, as he has four homers in his last eight games. He is batting .267 with 24 home runs, 64 RBI, 60 runs and three steals in 322 at-bats this season.

Segura suffered a left heel injury during the ninth inning of Monday night's game against the Dodgers, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura doesn't believe the injury to be serious, but he did receive treatment after the contest and will be considered day-to-day moving forward.

McMahon isn't in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Giants.

McMahon drew the start at the keystone in Game 1, and he picked up a base knock along with a walk and an RBI. Garrett Hampson will start at second base and bat eighth for the nightcap.

Longoria will miss more than 10 days with a strained plantar fascia in his left foot, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The Giants were originally optimistic that Longoria could be back in action Monday, but an MRI revealed a strain which will keep him out for some time. Pablo Sandoval will act as the primary option at third base while Longoria is sidelined.

Jung was promoted to Low-A Hickory on Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The eighth-overall pick in the 2019 draft, Jung played in just four games at the rookie-league level, going 10-for-17 at the plate. He'll jump over short-season Spokane and head straight to full-season ball.

Longoria was placed on the 10-day injured list with plantar fasciitis on Monday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria left Sunday's game against the Brewers with the injury. The Giants were initially optimistic that he'd return after a brief absence, but that optimism was evidently premature. Ray Black was recalled in a corresponding move, with Pablo Sandoval expected to take over as the primary third baseman for the time being.
