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.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 9-5 win over Atlanta.

It took the third baseman until April 14 to hit his first homer, but since then Arenado's been on fire, hitting .356 (16-for-45) with four doubles, six home runs and 14 RBI over his last 11 games. The hot streak has pushed his slash line up to .292/.336/.538, and given his career numbers there should be plenty more production to come.

Segura did not suffer a concussion when he was hit in the head by a pitch Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Thankfully Segura remained somewhat protected as he was hit in the helmet by the fastball, but it was still a scary situation as he stayed down for some time before eventually walking off the field. Sean Rodriguez figures to fill in at shortstop should Segura require any time off.

Segura left Saturday's game against the Marlins after getting hit in the head by a fastball, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Segura stayed down for some time but was eventually able to walk off the field. The at-bat was just his second since returning from the injured list earlier in the day. Sean Rodriguez replaced him in Saturday's contest and would be in line for more starts if Segura is forced to miss more time.

Astudillo was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Saturday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Astudillo exited Saturday's game as he appeared to suffer the injury while running home on a sacrifice fly. The severity of the strain remains unclear, but the 27-year-old will be eligible to be activated from the IL on May 8.

Astudillo exited Saturday's game against the Orioles with left hamstring tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Astudillo appeared to suffer the injury while running home on a sacrifice fly. It's unclear how much time he's expected to miss.

Astudillo left Saturday's game against Baltimore with an apparent injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The nature and severity of Astudillo's injury aren't yet clear. He appeared to tweak something while scoring on a sacrifice fly. More details should become clear following further tests.

Donaldson is not in the lineup Saturday against the Rockies.

Donaldson hasn't been handled cautiously after his injury-plagued 2018 campaign, as Saturday's off day is just his third of the season. Johan Camargo will get the start at third base.

Segura (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list as expected Saturday.

Segura wound up missing the minimum 10 days with a hamstring strain. He'll resume his everyday shortstop job and will look to build on his .328/.384/.478 line now that he's back on the field. Outfielder Dylan Cozens was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Kieboom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Padres.

The rookie was the center of attention in his big-league debut, taking Craig Stammen deep to lead off the eighth inning and tie things up at 3-3 but then striking out with the bases loaded in the ninth against San Diego closer Kirby Yates to end the ballgame. Kieboom was tearing up Triple-A prior to his promotion, hitting .379 with three homers in 18 games, but he struck out 20 times. The 21-year-old could struggle to make consistent contact in the majors at this stage of his development.
