Segura (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Segura was diagnosed with a fractured right index finger after leaving Tuesday's game against the Giants, so it isn't very surprising to see him land on the injured list. A timetable for his return hasn't yet been revealed, but he'll likely be sidelined for at least a couple of weeks. Johan Camargo is starting at second base while Nick Maton takes over at shortstop during Wednesday's matchup against San Francisco.

The Phillies recalled Maton from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday. He'll start at second base and bat eighth in the Phillies' series finale with the Giants.

He'll give the Phillies some additional depth in the middle infield after Jean Segura (finger) joined shortstop Didi Gregorius (knee) on the injured list Wednesday, though Johan Camargo and Bryson Stott may be first in line for reps at either middle-infield spots. Since Stott is one of the organization's top prospects, the Phillies will likely want him to play somewhere on a near-everyday basis, so he could end up getting demoted later this week instead of Maton if Gregorius -- who is currently on a minor-league rehab assignment -- is activated. Even if that happens, Maton may still find himself behind Camargo in the pecking order for reps at second base while Segura is on the mend.

The Marlins placed Anderson (back) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson will be joined on the IL by Joey Wendle (hamstring), which should clear the way for Jon Berti and Willians Astudillo to see more work out of the Miami infield. When the Marlins have been at full strength this season, Anderson hasn't had a clear path to an everyday role at any position, but his ability to play third base and the two corner-outfield spots has allowed him to see steady at-bats when healthy. Anderson will be eligible to return from the IL on June 8 if he's made a full recovery from his bout with back spasms.

Escobar went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Nationals.

He launched his third homer of the year in the sixth inning off Francisco Perez to cap the scoring in the rout for the Mets. Escobar struggled through most of May but has caught fire recently along with the rest of the New York offense, batting .333 (12-for-36) over the last eight games with four doubles, a homer, six runs and seven RBI.

Madrigal (back) went 1-for-2 with a run scored in an 8-7 win Tuesday over Milwaukee.

Madrigal returned as a pinch hitter in the fifth inning and stayed in the game, playing second base. He singled and scored in the sixth on P.J. Higgins' home run. It was his first appearance for the Cubs since May 9. Between his stint on the injured list and his .503 OPS, Madrigal's first season on the northside of Chicago has left much to be desired. With Andrelton Simmons and Christopher Morel each receiving time at the keystone in Madrigal's absence, there's no guarantee he will receive the bulk of the playing time now that he's healthy.

Longoria left Tuesday's game against the Phillies due to soreness in his right shoulder and isn't expected to be in the lineup Wednesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria went 0-for-1 with a strikeout and a walk prior to exiting Tuesday's contest, and he's poised to receive a day off for the series finale in Philadelphia. The veteran third baseman may still be available off the bench, however, so the injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern.

Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox.

Reynolds singled and scored in the top of the sixth inning. He also added two more base knocks and a stolen base later in the contest. The 31-year-old is now up to three steals on the season and he has notched at least one hit in five straight games. Over those contests, Reynolds has gone 8-for-17 with two extra-base hits, four runs, four RBI and a stolen base. The hot streak has raised his batting average from .214 to .274 over 73 at-bats in 28 games in 2022.

Segura underwent X-rays after leaving Tuesday's game against the Giants and was diagnosed with a fractured right index finger, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura suffered the injury while attempting a bunt during the seventh inning, and he was unable to finish the plate appearance. The 32-year-old will undergo a CT scan Wednesday, but it's safe to assume he'll be sidelined for at least a couple weeks. Bryson Stott and Johan Camargo should handle most of the work in the middle infield until Didi Gregorius (knee), who began a rehab assignment Tuesday, can return from the injured list.

Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Brewers.

The home run isn't much of a surprise, as Wisdom now has 11 this season through 46 games. However, the stolen base was just the second of the year for the third baseman, though they've both come in the past week. Speed isn't likely to become a huge part of Wisdom's game anytime soon, but even modest contributions there help to enhance his overall fantasy profile.

Segura was removed from Tuesday's game against the Giants with an apparent right hand injury, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

The 31-year-old was struck on the right hand by a pitch while attempting to bunt during the seventh inning and was unable to finish his at-bat. Bryson Stott finished the plate appearance and took over at shortstop, shifting Johan Camargo to second base. It's unclear if Segura will require a trip to the injured list.
