Jean Segura 3B | CLE
Phillies' Jean Segura: Moved to 60-day IL
The Phillies transferred Segura (finger) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Segura's move to the 60-day IL frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for utility man Yairo Munoz, whose contract was purchased from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The transaction doesn't affect Segura's timeline for rejoining the Phillies; he was already expected to miss 10-to-12 weeks after undergoing surgery earlier this month to repair a fractured right index finger.

J.D. Davis 1B | LAA
Mets' J.D. Davis: Sitting Tuesday
Davis is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.
Davis had started four straight games, grabbing at least one hit in all four, but he'll nonetheless head to the bench here. Nick Plummer will get the start as the designated hitter.

Matt Reynolds 3B | CIN
Reds' Matt Reynolds: Swipes fourth bag
Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-4 victory against the Diamondbacks.
Reynolds put the Reds on the board in the fourth inning with a run-scoring single. He later scored the game-winning run in the sixth after reaching on an infield single, stealing second base and scoring on a Mike Moustakas base knock. Reynolds posted his fourth multi-hit performance over his past 12 games, and he is batting .310 (13-for-42) with three homers, seven RBI and one theft over that span.

Evan Longoria 3B | ARI
Giants' Evan Longoria: Still sitting
Longoria (hamstring) remains on the bench Monday against the Royals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Longoria has been out of the lineup since Friday while battling left hamstring tightness, but he hasn't been shut down completely, as he appeared as a pinch hitter Sunday. He's not quite ready to be involved from the start of the game, however, so Thairo Estrada will get the nod at third base.

Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW
Reds' Mike Moustakas: Returns from injured list
Moustakas was activated off the COVID-19 injured list Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Moustakas wound up spending just one week on the COVID-19 injured list. While he's looked good at times this season, he'd managed just three hits in the 14 games prior to his absence, so the Reds will be hoping for much more upon his return. Colin Moran was optioned to accommodate his return.

Brian Anderson RF | ATL
Marlins' Brian Anderson: Able to swing
Anderson (back) has been throwing medicine balls and hitting off a tee, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Anderson has missed over two weeks with a bulging disc in his lumbar spine. He remains without a clear timetable to return to the field, though it's certainly a positive that he's able to take part in workouts in some capacity.

Nick Madrigal 3B | LAA
Cubs' Nick Madrigal: Remains out
Madrigal (groin) remains on the bench Monday against the Padres.
Madrigal left Friday's game against the Yankees with groin tightness and didn't appear in either of the next two games. He was considered day-to-day as recently as Sunday, so it's possible he'll be back in action soon, but it will again be Jonathan Villar at second base Monday.

Evan Longoria 3B | ARI
Giants' Evan Longoria: Makes cameo off bench
Longoria (hamstring) flied out in his lone at-bat as a pinch hitter in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Dodgers.
Longoria hasn't made a start since Friday due to a tight left hamstring, but his appearance Sunday as a pinch hitter suggests he'll avoid a trip to the 10-day injured list. The Giants return to action Monday, when they kick off a three-game home series with the Royals.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Another pair of RBI
McMahon went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and two RBI on Sunday against the Padres.
McMahon delivered the game-winning knock with a two-RBI double in the eighth inning. He's come through timely hits of late, racking up five RBI across his last five games while also reaching base at a .381 clip in that span. McMahon has gotten on base at a decent .332 rate across 244 plate appearances, but he has a disappointing .132 ISO.

J.D. Davis 1B | LAA
Mets' J.D. Davis: Swats second homer
Davis went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Angels.
His fourth-inning blast off Patrick Sandoval proved to be the winning run in a 4-1 victory. Davis has started 10 of the last 12 games, primarily as the Mets' DH, and while he's slashed .341/.391/.463 over that stretch, Sunday's long ball was only his second of the season in 136 plate appearances.
