  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Receives Sunday off

    Segura is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Segura started the past three games after being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Thursday, and he'll take a seat for the series finale versus Washington after going 3-for-10 with a run and a stolen base. Nick Maton will man the keystone and bat ninth for the Phillies.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Homers, swipes bag

    McMahon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in a 3-2 win against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    McMahon walked and stole second in the fourth inning before launching the game-winning home run 421 feet to center in the ninth. The 27-year-old is in the midst of a scorching opening week of August, going 8-for-18 with two homers, two doubles and two stolen bases in six contests this month. The torrid stretch has upped McMahon's line to .242/.337/.392 with 10 long balls, 40 runs, 50 RBI and a career-high seven stolen bases.

  • Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA

    Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Resting Saturday

    Wisdom is not in the lineup Saturday against Miami.

    Wisdom's three strikeouts in Friday's series opener raised his strikeout rate on the season to 33.4 percent, but he's shown enough power to overcome his contact issues. Thanks to a 15.3 percent barrel rate, he owns a .222/.318/.452 slash line, good for a 114 wRC+. Zach McKinstry starts at third base in his absence.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Swipes 12th bag

    Hayes went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a stolen base in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Orioles.

    He was the only Pirates hitter to have any real success on the night, as nobody else in the lineup managed an extra-base hit or even got on base more than once. Hayes is up to 12 steals on the season, but he's been struggling to build momentum at the plate since the All-Star break, slashing .217/.294/.326 over his last 13 games with one home run, one run and four RBI.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Out against lefty

    Muncy is not in Friday's lineup against the Padres, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    With Miguel Vargas and Chris Taylor active, Muncy may start to sit regularly against lefties, as he is for this contest against Sean Manaea. Muncy is slashing .250/.333/.417 with one home run and 12 strikeouts over his last 10 games.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Out of action Friday

    McMahon is not in Friday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.

    McMahon experienced some rare road success this week, going 7-for-15 with one home run, two doubles and a stolen base in the four-game series that just wrapped up in San Diego. Elehuris Montero will start at third base and hit ninth.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Reds' Mike Moustakas: Sitting Friday

    Moustakas will sit Friday against the Brewers.

    Moustakas finds himself on the bench for the third time in four games. All of his absences have come against lefties like Friday's starter Eric Lauer. Donovan Solano will be the designated hitter in his place.

  • Nick Maton DH | CHW

    Phillies' Nick Maton: Recalled by Phillies

    Maton was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

    Maton should take the bench role that had belonged to Yairo Munoz, who was optioned in a corresponding move. Maton owns a respectable .268/.336/.431 slash line in 54 career major-league games, though just two of those have come this season.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Giants' J.D. Davis: Hits first homer with new team

    Davis went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.

    Davis briefly gave the Giants a lead in the second inning, but it slipped away by the fourth. Davis has gone 2-for-8 in two contests since joining the Giants, starting at third base in both games while Evan Longoria (hamstring) remains sidelined. Through 68 games between the Giants and the Mets this year, Davis owns a .238/.321/.370 slash line with five homers, 23 RBI, 27 runs scored and a stolen base. He'll have a chance at regular playing time until the Giants get some players back from injury, which could push the 29-year-old into a short-side platoon role.

  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Marlins' Brian Anderson: Rehab assignment on tap

    Anderson (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville this weekend, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Anderson has been on the injured list since July 24 but has been cleared to return to game action with the Triple-A club. The 29-year-old should be in the mix to rejoin the Marlins early next week.
