Segura is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Giants, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Segura will get a breather after he's been dealing with pectoral discomfort this week, going 1-for-5 with a run scored over the first two games of the series. Jon Berti will start at third base while Garrett Hampson enters the lineup at shortstop and bats ninth in the series finale against San Francisco.

Nevin will start at third base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Nevin will start for the fourth time in six games and may have at least temporarily inched ahead of the likes of Zach McKinstry and Jonathan Schoop as manager A.J. Hinch's preferred option for the remaining opening in Detroit's everyday lineup. Since being called up from Triple-A Toledo, Nevin is getting on base at a .400 clip in 10 plate appearances, but he'll need to continue to excel at the dish over a larger sample of playing time before he takes firmer hold of a regular spot.

Senzel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Upon returning from the injured list last Thursday, Senzel proceeded to start in each of the Reds' last six games, moving between center field and third base. Senzel batted just .190 over those contests, and though he'll take a seat in the series finale, the 27-year-old still looks like he'll receive a trial in a near-everyday role while Spencer Steer (knee) is day-to-day and while Joey Votto (biceps/shoulder) remains on the injured list.

Jung went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Royals.

Jung reached in the second on an infield hit and then walked in the fourth. He wound up swiping second for his first steal of the year and eventually came around to score. The 2019 first-round pick is living up to the billing early on in the season, slashing .288/.333/.492 with three home runs, nine RBI and 10 runs. He's also working on a seven-game hitting streak.

Burger went 1-for-2 with a walk and a three-run home run in a 3-0 win over the Phillies during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

After going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the matinee, Burger supplied the only offense in the nightcap by crushing a Bailey Falter fastball in the first inning. The 27-year-old has gone yard four times in the last five games, and since his early-April promotion Burger is batting .308 (8-for-26) with five homers and 10 RBI. He could be tough to dislodge from the lineup, even after Yoan Moncada (back) is ready to return.

Davis went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Marlins.

Davis has multiple hits in three of his last four games. He's added six RBI and two runs scored in that span, but he wasn't involved in the Giants' lone run-producing play Tuesday, which was a two-run home run by Mike Yastrzemski in the first inning. Davis is slashing .347/.389/.633 with four home runs, 13 RBI, seven runs scored and two doubles through 54 plate appearances. His solid hitting has earned him a near-everyday role to begin 2023.

Miranda went 0-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox. He's hitting .209 (14-for-67) with just two extra-base hits in 17 games this season.

Miranda is off to a slow start, but there's been no sign of him potentially losing his job as he's been a fixture at third base. He's making contact (18.4% K%) and has a .286 xBA (according to Baseball Savant), so there is some hope for a turnaround soon.

Walls went 4-for-5 with a triple, two home runs, four RBI and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 10-0 victory over the Reds.

Walls had a massive night Tuesday, homering from each side of the plate while coming a double shy of the cycle in the Rays' blowout victory. The switch-hitting utility infielder has played 10 games for Tampa Bay this season, slashing .351/.429/.730 with seven RBI and 15 runs scored through 37 at-bats. Walls' has gotten the majority of starts at second base against left-handed pitching, and his positional versatility should earn him a fairly regular role in a potent Rays lineup.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Donaldson (hamstring) is still dealing with tightness and will be evaluated Wednesday before a decision is made on when he might return from the 10-day injured list, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Donaldson went 1-for-3 in the first game of his rehab assignment Tuesday at Double-A Somerset before he was replaced by Delvin Perez. The veteran third baseman has a chance to return to the Yankees on Wednesday, but if he's still feeling tightness in his right hamstring, the club will wait another day or two before adding him back to the roster.

Baty is not in the Mets' lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Eduardo Escobar will start at third base and bat eighth versus left-hander Clayton Kershaw. Baty is a big-time talent but has struggled against left-handed pitching as a professional. He should start against most, if not all, right-handed hurlers.
