Davis was optioned to Triple-A Fresno on Tuesday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Davis' recent stint in the majors will be short lived as he'll now head back to Fresno in order to open up a roster spot for Josh Reddick's activation from the disabled list Wednesday. Davis went 3-for-21 following his most recent promotion May 20.

Segura went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Astros.

A day after seeing an eight-game hitting streak come to an end, Segura wasted no time getting back in the hit column with a single in the first inning before adding his fifth homer. The 28-year-old is slashing .333/.353/.483 and will continue to be among the league's leaders in runs scored and steals.

Candelario exited Tuesday's game against the Red Sox and was diagnosed with a jammed middle finger on his right hand.

The injury was caused by a 104 mph groundball off the bat of J.D. Martinez, but thankfully X-rays came back negative for Candelario. Overall it's good news for the 24-year-old and his chances of avoiding the disabled list.

Candelario left Tuesday's game against the Red Sox with an apparent right hand injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Candelario was hit on his right hand by 104 mph groundball off the bat of J.D. Martinez, and was subsequently charged with an error after throwing the ball away. The severity of the injury is unclear at this point. Ronny Rodriguez took over at third base for the Tigers.

Newman could be one of the first position players Pittsburgh recalls when it needs infield help, general manager Neal Huntington said Sunday.

Speaking on his weekly radio show, Huntington said that Newman successfully handled a crash course at second base when it looked as though starter Josh Harrison might miss an extended period of time. Newman is slashing .313/.353/.391 with one homer and 13 stolen bases in 192 Triple-A at-bats. The 2015 first-round draft pick has the potential to help fantasy teams with his batting average, but holds just a career .725 OPS in four minor-league seasons.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Cincinnati's 6-3 loss to the Padres on Sunday.

The 26-year-old continues to rake, as he tallied his 11th long ball of the season with this second-inning solo shot off Tyson Ross. He was already established as a valuable fantasy asset after he put up an .828 OPS in 156 games last season, but Suarez is providing even better value so far this year, as he's now got a fantastic .297/.378/.589 slash line through his first 43 games of 2018.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI on Sunday against the Rockies.

Muncy took right-hander Chad Bettis deep for both of his home runs Sunday, with a solo homer in the second inning followed by a three-run home run in the third. He now has nine home runs on the season, four of which have come in the past week. His recent success has caused the Dodgers to consider giving him playing time at second base, which has the potential to solidify his playing time while also adding to his eligibility.

Devers is not in the lineup Sunday against the Astros, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Mired in a 2-for-20 slump over his past five starts, Devers will be given the day off to clear his head in the series finale against the reigning World Series champs. Eduardo Nunez takes over at the hot corner in his stead.

McMahon will start at first base and bat eighth Sunday against the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Though he'll be included in the lineup for the series finale while veterans Carlos Gonzalez and Gerardo Parra rest, McMahon's days an everyday player came to an end for the time being following DJ LeMahieu's reinstatement from the disabled list Friday. McMahon, who was on the bench for the past two days, has gone 7-for-20 with three doubles since being promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque just over a week ago.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo homer in Saturday's loss to the Yankees.

Machado took Masahiro Tanaka deep in the sixth inning, hitting his third home run in the last four games and 18th on the season. The 25-year-old is now hitting an impressive .327/.398/.633 with 47 RBI, 32 runs and a pair of stolen bases this season.
