Segura went 1-for-5 and scored the go-ahead run in an extra-inning win over the Athletics on Tuesday.

Segura capped off an eventful night for the Mariners by hustling home all the way from first base on a Guillermo Heredia double in the visitors' half of the 10th. The shortstop was able to beat a relay throw and slide through Jonathan Lucroy, jamming his left shoulder on the backstop's leg in the process. Segura laid briefly behind home plate after the play and was checked out by a trainer before returning to the dugout and then taking the field for the bottom half of the frame. Factoring in Tuesday's production, the talented shortstop boasts a five-game hitting streak as well as a .337 average for the month of May.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Giants.

Bregman extended his hitting streak to six games (8-for-23, four extra-base hits) and has reached base safely in 17 of 19 games during the month of May. That shouldn't come as too much of a surprise as it was during May when he started to bust out last season. He's slashing .286/.383/.529 this month, raising his season line to .270/.381/.427. The Albuquerque native may be one of those players whose bat heats up as the weather does.

Davis went 0-for-1 with three walks and scored three runs in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Giants.

Davis got the nod in left field Tuesday, his first game with the Astros since being called up Sunday from Triple-A Fresno. He broke camp with the big-league club while Yulieski Gurriel recovered from a hand injury and didn't show much; however, he hit everything back at Fresno in the Pacific Coast League and deserved this most recent callup. It's probably too much to expect that he permanently dislodges Marwin Gonzalez, but there's an opportunity for at-bats as Gonzalez (.225) and Josh Reddick (.227) have been inconsistent at best. Manager A.J. Hinch is not afraid to sit an under-performing regular.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with two RBI, two doubles, a run and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Giants.

Bregman got an RBI double in the third off starter Andrew Suarez, and recorded another RBI double in the sixth off reliever Reyes Moronta. Bregman is now riding a nice six-game hitting streak and has brought his average up to .270. The 24-year-old's 16 doubles are tied for fourth in the majors.

Ramirez went 1-for-2 with three walks, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored Tuesday against the Cubs.

Ramirez took Tyler Chatwood deep in the third inning to jump-start the Indians' offense to a 10-run effort Tuesday. It was his 14th home run of the season, and seventh for the month. He continues to impress in every way possible at the plate, ranking among the American League leaders in several different statistics, including home runs, RBI, runs scored and OPS.

Candelario (wrist) will join Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday to begin a rehab assignment, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Candelario is set to play at least three games with the Mud Hens, and if all goes well he could be cleared to rejoin the Tigers sometime over the weekend. The 24-year-old, who is hitting .272/.359/.497 with five homers through 37 games this season, has been on the disabled list since May 14 with left wrist tendinitis. He should reclaim his role as the Tigers' primary third baseman once he returns, likely pushing Niko Goodrum back to a utility role.

LeMahieu (thumb) played catch from 50 feet Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

LeMahieu has a small fracture in his left thumb, so the fact that he was able to wear a glove and catch with that hand is a positive sign. However, according to the Denver Post, LeMahieu may need up to three weeks to make it back.

Valencia is out of the lineup Tuesday against the White Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

As has been the case recently, Valencia will give way to Jace Peterson at the hot corner with a right-hander in James Shields toeing the rubber for the opposition.

Wong inked a minor-league deal with the Mets on Monday, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

Wong will head to Double-A Binghamton after agreeing to a minor-league contract. The 30-year-old shortstop spent the majority of his 2017 season at Double-A Arkansas, where he slashed .241/.360/.287 with a pair of homers and 29 RBI.

Candelario (wrist) is nearly ready to return to game action but may need a brief rehab appearance, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

The Tigers are currently undecided on whether or not he should head directly back to the big leagues or get some action in the minors first. Prior to hitting the disabled list with wrist tendinitis, the young third baseman was hitting a solid .272/.359/.497 through 37 games.
