McMahon was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

The Rockies need a fresh bullpen arm after sending out six relievers in Wednesday's 10-8 win over the Mets, so McMahon will swap places with right-hander Yency Almonte. The Rockies are set to face a string of left-handed pitchers, so the move will allow McMahon to see consistent at-bats with the Isotopes. He's hitting just .211/.283/.337 through 47 games with the big club this season.

Kieboom was promoted to Double-A Harrisburg on Thursday, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

Kieboom continued to exceed expectations at the High-A level, slashing .298/.386/.494 with 11 home runs, 46 RBI and six stolen bases for Potomac in 61 games this season. The infielder will likely spend the remainder of the 2018 campaign learning the ropes at Harrisburg. Though he's a fine defender at shortstop, Kieboom's eventual home in the majors may wind up being second or third base.

Segura is not in Thursday's lineup due to an infection in his right forearm, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The Mariners' trainers didn't want Segura on the field during Thursday's game since his forearm is fairly swollen from the infection that stemmed from a small cut. Segura is listed as day-to-day ahead of Friday's game against the Red Sox.

Segura is out of the lineup against the Yankees on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Segura will hit the bench for a rare day off after starting the past 21 games. Over that span, he's slashed .361/.402/.518 with two home runs, 10 RBI and two stolen bases. Andrew Romine will make a start at shortstop in his stead. Expect Segura back in the starting nine for Friday's series opener in Boston.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Tampa Bay.

Bregman extended his hitting streak to six games, a stretch in which he's slugging .792 with three homers, two doubles, six runs scored and nine RBI. The Astros' offense has taken off in June, with Bregman a significant reason why they've scored 5.9 runs per game. In a month when the the team leads MLB in average (.301), OBP (.365) and OPS (.878), the third baseman has posted his best slash line (.286/.354/.629).

Anderson went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Giants.

Anderson came through with an RBI single in the ninth inning as the Marlins mounted a late rally, but he was left stranded on second as the tying run to end the game. The 25-year-old is hitting .333 in June and leads the Marlins in both RBI (36) and runs scored (41).

Farmer was sent back down to Triple-A Oklahoma City following Wednesday's game.

Farmer will return to the minors after joining the big-league club this past weekend to provide some extra depth while the Dodgers continue to deal with injuries. This move likely signals the return of Chase Utley, who is set to come off the DL (thumb) prior to Friday's game against the Mets. As for Farmer, the 27-year-old will continue to receive regular at-bats with Oklahoma City.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Tigers.

His sixth-inning blast gave the Reds a 3-2 lead that they wouldn't relinquish. Suarez now has 15 homers on the year, and his .295/.382/.571 slash line puts him well on his way to career highs in all three categories.

Candelario went 2-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Reds.

It's his 11th homer of the year and third in June, but Candelario is only hitting .190 (12-for-63) through 18 games on the month despite the decent power numbers. The 24-year-old might continue to struggle with consistency in his second full season in the majors, but he remains a key piece of the Tigers' rebuild.

Duffy is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Duffy will get a well-deserved breather after starting the previous 18 games, slashing an impressive .333/.387/.536 with two homers over that stretch. Joey Wendle will cover third base in his stead, while Willy Adames starts at the keystone and Adeiny Hechavarria gets the nod at shortstop.
