Segura went 3-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Marlins.

Segura didn't skip a beat at the dish after getting drilled in the head by a pitch during Saturday's matchup, and he secured his ninth multi-hit game of the season. The 29-year-old just returned from a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring injury but showed no signs of rust in the series finale.

Urshela was sent for X-rays on his left hand following Sunday's game against the Giants, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Urshela was struck by a pitch there in the series finale, so he'll undergo further evaluation to uncover the extent of the issue. With an off day on tap Monday, Urshela could be back in action for Tuesday's matchup with Arizona if his X-rays return negative.

LeMahieu has been diagnosed with right knee inflammation after leaving Sunday's game against the Giants, Erik Boland of Newsday reports. His X-rays came back negative.

While it's good news that LeMahieu's X-rays returned negative, it remains unclear if he'll be forced to miss a game or two while nursing right knee inflammation. He's slated to undergo a precautionary MRI on Monday, per Coley Harvey of ESPN.com. If LeMahieu is ruled out for Tuesday's matchup, expect Tyler Wade to draw the start at the keystone.

LeMahieu was replaced at second base between innings Sunday after slowly making his way off the field, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

LeMahieu carefully walked off the field at the end of an inning and appeared to have trouble making it down the dugout steps, although it's unclear as to what was ailing him. He banged his knee during Saturday's matchup, so it's possible he's still being bothered by the same issue. LeMahieu will benefit from an off day Monday before the Yankees begin a two-game series with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Longoria is not in the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria finds himself on the bench for just the third time this season. Pablo Sandoval gets the call at third base.

Rendon's elbow has swollen up in the last two days and may force him to head to the injured list, source reports.

Rendon missed four games with an elbow bruise after getting hit by a pitch in the left elbow. He returned Friday but perhaps shouldn't have, as that only increased the swelling. The Nationals will make a decision on whether or not to send him to the injured list Monday. Jake Noll would be called back up from Triple-A Fresno should such a move be necessary.

Candelario is starting at third base and batting leadoff in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

This will now be six straight appearances as the Tigers' leadoff hitter for Candelario, as he's clearly taken the baton from the struggling Josh Harrison. The 25-year-old hasn't been lighting the world on fire with his .239/.333/.315 slash line, but his placement atop the order could lead to more runs moving forward.

Rendon is not in the lineup Sunday against San Diego.

Rendon returned from a four-game absence due to an elbow bruise on Friday, but he's since been back on the bench for two straight. Howie Kendrick gets the start at third base.

McMahon is not starting Sunday against the Braves.

McMahon is riding a six-game hitting streak. He'll sit Sunday, with Garrett Hampson getting the start at second base.

Segura is in the lineup Sunday against the Marlins after a pitch struck him in the head in Saturday's game, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

Segura's helmet did its job, as the pitch was enough to knock him out of the game but did not lead to a concussion. He'll bat second and play shortstop as usual.
