Segura (hamstring) went 3-for-6 with a homer, three RBI and two runs in his return from injury Tuesday against Detroit.

Unfortunately, the Mariners still got run out of the building by a 19-run explosion from the Tigers' offense, but this was still an impressive return for Segura, who missed 12 games with a hamstring ailment. It's hard to imagine Segura equaling last year's massive production now that he's moved from Arizona to the less hitter-friendly environs of Seattle's Safeco Field, but he's still looked good when healthy early on.

Asche is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Royals, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

With another lefty getting the start for Kansas City, Asche will head to the bench for a day off. That being said, the 26-year-old has been dreadful at the plate this season (.057 batting average), so don't be surprised if Asche begins to sit out against righties, as well. Matt Davidson will enter the lineup to replace Asche.

Segura (hamstring) is starting at shortstop and hitting leadoff Tuesday against the Tigers, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

Segura came off the DL on Tuesday, so it comes as no surprise that the Mariners are including him in the lineup for Tuesday night's game. Segura missed 12 games with a hamstring injury, but will look to get back on track against Jordan Zimmermann and the Tigers.

Segura (hamstring) was activated from the DL on Tuesday, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

The Mariners had intended to activate Segura on Tuesday, and those plans have come to fruition. Segura didn't have his best showing during his rehab assignment at Double-A Arkansas, as he went just 1-for-11 over three games. Now that he's healthy, he'll look to continue his strong start to the season, as he was hitting .313/.353/.406 prior to landing on the disabled list.

Duffy (heel) is traveling with the team and continuing onfield work during the current road trip, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Duffy has been trending in the right direction lately, having resumed full batting practice and a running program last week. However, he's yet to run full speed or on the bases, so a mid-to-late May return remains the most optimistic prognosis at present.

Rendon went 3-for-4 with three singles, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-4 loss to Colorado.

It's been a slow start for Rendon, as he's still searching for his first home run of the season. The 26-year-old has only two extra-base hits in 69 at-bats, too. Rendon should contribute nicely among all categories before all's said and done, though, so don't lose faith so early.

Asche is not in the lineup Monday against the Royals.

As expected, Asche will hand over DH duties to Matt Davidson with lefty Jason Vargas toeing the rubber for the Royals on Monday. He could find himself on the bench for the third straight game with Kansas City scheduled to send out southpaw Danny Duffy on Tuesday.

Machado went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.

Slowly but surely, Machado is warming up after a miserable 7-for-44 (.159) start. The third baseman has put together a modest (yet encouraging) five-game hitting streak to bump his average above the Mendoza Line. Considering the All-Star is typically quick out of the gate, Machado's slow start to the 2017 campaign is a bit disconcerting. Still, he's got a few advantageous matchups on tap for this week against the Rays and Yankees, so look out for him to kick his season into high gear.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a walk in Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Rays.

Bregman's fourth-inning single extended his hitting streak to a modest five games. Since being dropped from the two-hole to sixth in the order, Bregman has hit .310 (9-for-29) with three doubles, three RBI and five walks over the last nine games.

Manager Scott Servais said Segura (hamstring) would rejoin the Mariners on Tuesday in Detroit, at which point he'd likely be activated from the disabled list, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Segura has played in rehab games the last two days with Double-A Northwest Arkansas, playing shortstop while going a combined 1-for-6 at the dish in those contests. He'll play in another game Sunday with Northwest Arkansas, and if his hamstring checks out fine during the contest, the Mariners would likely immediately insert him back into the lineup. Segura's return will likely result in utility man Taylor Motter seeing most of his time in the corner outfield.
