Segura was unscratched from the lineup Tuesday against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Segura will start at third base and bat ninth versus the Giants and left-hander Alex Wood after being removed from the lineup for a short period due to what was labeled as pectoral discomfort. It's clearly nothing serious. Garrett Hampson is again on the bench for Miami.

Segura was scratched from the lineup Tuesday due to pectoral discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Jon Berti will slide from shortstop to third base, with Garrett Hampson hopping into the Marlins' lineup as the starter at short versus the Giants and lefty Alex Wood. The severity of Segura's pectoral issue is not yet known.

Arenado is not in the lineup Tuesday night against the Diamondbacks.

Taylor Motter is playing third base and batting eighth, with Alec Burleson taking a turn at DH and hitting third. This appears to be a routine day of rest for Arenado, who has gone 22-for-70 (.314) on the season.

Baty went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 8-6 win against the Dodgers.

Baty was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday and was immediately placed in the starting lineup, playing third base and batting eighth. The 23-year-old grounded out in his first at-bat before coming through with a two-out, run-scoring single in the fourth inning. Baty looks to be in line for the lion's share of playing time at the hot corner for New York moving forward, as Eduardo Escobar is batting just .125 on the campaign.

Sosa (back) is out of the lineup for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Sosa has been sidelined since experiencing discomfort in his lower back Saturday, but it doesn't sound like anything overly concerning. Josh Harrison is playing third base and batting ninth for the Phillies in the first game of the twin bill at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-6 loss to the Mets.

Muncy gave the Dodgers a short-lived lead in the sixth inning with a 433-foot solo shot to center field. The long ball was Muncy's seventh of the campaign, six of which have come over his past seven games. During that stretch, the veteran slugger is slashing .375/.423/1.125 with 13 RBI.

Riley went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 2-0 win over the Padres on Monday.

Riley accounted for all of the offense in the contest with his two-run shot off Ryan Weathers in the first inning. The long ball was his fourth of the campaign and extended his hitting streak to eight games. Over that span, he's slashing .323/.389/.548 with a pair of homers, eight runs and four RBI.

Wisdom went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Monday's 10-1 win over Oakland.

Wisdom put the Cubs on the board with his solo shot in the second inning followed by a three-run blast in the eighth. The slugger has gone deep eight times and is currently riding a four-game home run streak. During that stretch, he's boosted his season OPS from .892 to 1.139 through 57 plate appearances. He's also now up to eight home runs on the campaign, tying the Mets' Pete Alonso for the MLB lead.

Hayes went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored in Monday's 14-3 win over the Rockies.

Hayes knocked RBI singles in the second and third frames before bringing home one more run with a fifth-inning sacrifice fly. He's posted three multi-hit performances over his last six games, hitting .349 (8-for-23) with a 4:2 BB:K during that stretch. On the year, Hayes is now slashing .206/.261/.349 with six extra-base hits and seven RBI.

The Mets recalled Baty from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday and he will hit eighth while playing third base against the Dodgers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

As previously announced, Baty is officially recalled from Triple-A after scorching the pitching in the International League to a 1.386 OPS. The Mets have placed Tim Locastro (back spasms) on the injured list in a corresponding move. Baty might sit occasionally against left-handed pitching, but he should see the majority of playing time at the hot corner to begin his promotion.
