Rivera is batting seventh and playing second base Wednesday against the Twins.

With left-hander Tommy Milone on the bump for Minnesota, Rivera will take over at second base for regular second baseman Scooter Gennett. Rivera will look to consider his nice start to the season, as he's posted an .804 OPS with three doubles in 18 plate appearances.

Segura went 3-for-6 with two runs, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Giants.

After sitting out Sunday, Segura had a productive return to the lineup. He had cooled some (5-for-26 over his previous seven games) following a scorching start, but he looks to be back in a groove already. As long as he continues to hit, he should be a decent source of runs and stolen bases atop Arizona's lineup.

LeMahieu (groin) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Reds, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

LeMahieu was held out Monday with a sore left groin, but it apparently wasn't anything overly serious as he's back in the lineup after just one day. He'll man his usual spot at the keystone and bat leadoff against Robert Stephenson.

Peterson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Peterson went 2-for-4 with one double, one walk, one walk, and three RBI in what was his best game of the season thus far. The 25-year-old will take Tuesday off to rest while Daniel Castro makes a spot start in his place.

Hayes went 4-for-6 with a homer and five RBI Monday. He also drew a pair of walks.

The third baseman is batting .415 in 41 at-bats and already has six extra-base hits (five doubles, one homer). He totaled six extra-base hits in 185 at-bats last year in his first pro season.

Duffy is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Amy Gutierrez of CSN Bay Area reports.

Duffy will receive his first respite of the season, yielding third base to Kelby Tomlinson. When he returns to action Tuesday, Duffy will hope that the day off aids in elevating him above the Mendoza Line, as he's currently slashing .173/.204/.327.

LeMahieu is being held out Monday to rest his sore left groin, MLB.com's Thomas Harding reports.

LeMahieu's injury does not appear to be serious, but he is sitting out Monday in order to prevent the soreness from becoming anything more than that. LeMahieu should have a chance to return to action Tuesday, but the Rockies may opt to hold him out again if he is still not 100 percent.

LeMahieu is not in the lineup Monday against the Reds, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

This is the second time in three days that LeMahieu has taken a seat. It's unclear whether the cause of the day off is the groin tightness that was ailing him Saturday, but the situation should become clearer soon.

Suarez is not in the lineup Monday against the Rockies.

Suarez has been one of the Reds hottest hitters on the young season, batting .319 with four home runs and 10 RBI, but he'll get the day off Monday after starting every game so far this season. Jordan Pacheco will fill in at third base and bat second in his stead.

Peterson got the start in left field Sunday and went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and three RBI in a 6-5 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

The RBI were his first of the season, to go along with his first multi-hit game, and all three came on his bases-loaded double in the first inning. While seeing action in left field does put Peterson on pace for extra position versatility, he'll need to hit better than his current .222/.276/.259 slash line to find his way onto most fantasy rosters.
