Segura went 3-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Mets.

Segura has been on fire in August, registering a .321/.367/.536 line through his first 13 games of the month. He's also up to 24 steals, to go along with 10 home runs in what's been a bounceback season for the 26-year-old, who struggled at the plate in 2015 and 2014.

LeMahieu homered, tripled, walked, scored three times, and knocked in two batters in a 3-for-3 game Tuesday against the Nationals.

LeMahieu is white hot, as he is now 7-for-7 in his past two games and extended his hitting streak to eight games with Tuesday's performance. He has three doubles, a triple and two home runs and six walks and zero strikeouts in this stretch, as he is not only hitting the ball for power but exhibiting stellar plate discipline. LeMahieu's line is up to a brilliant .342/.415/.498. Only Jose Altuve, Daniel Murphy and Matt Carpenter have a better OPS than LeMahieu's .913 among qualified second basemen.

Rendon went 1-for-3 with a homer and four RBI Sunday against the Braves.

After not leaving the yard during the entire month of April, he's now come on to blast 15 homers since that time, and he's now slashing .266/.349/.451 on the year. In his four-year career, the only season that he's hit above .270 was in 2014 when he finished with a .287 batting average.

Suarez hit a three-run homer in Saturday's win over the Brewers and also doubled in five at-bats.

The homer, Suarez's 19th of the season, came in an at-bat where he earlier failed to drop down a suicide-squeeze bunt, fouling it off instead. That the squeeze play was on apparently was a mistake, an inadvertent sign sent in by manager Bryan Price.

Peterson is out of the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

Peterson will have a maintenance day as Gordon Beckham starts at second and bats sixth. The club has Monday off, so look for Peterson to return to his spot in the lineup Tuesday against the Twins.

Reynolds was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.

With the activation of Jose Reyes to play shortstop while Asdrubal Cabrera is on the DL, Reynolds was no longer needed to provide infield depth at the big league level. Reynolds posted a .211/.231/.382 slash line with two home runs and a 36.3-percent strikeout rate in 80 plate appearances with the Mets this season.

LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and walk in Friday's 10-6 loss to the Phillies.

The second baseman provided the second of back-to-back dingers in the ninth to close the Rockies' deficit to 10-6, which ended up being the final score. LeMahieu has now hit safely in four straight and is slashing .400/.529/.575 over 40 at-bats in August.

Rendon went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Braves.

The veteran third baseman is enjoying a successful August, now having hit safely in five straight and reaching safely in 18 consecutive games overall dating back to July 22. The home run was his first since July 30 and he's now slashing .344/.421/.625 over 32 at-bats this month.

Peterson went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in an 8-5 victory over the Nationals on Friday.

He extended the Braves' lead to 2-0 in the second with a 398-foot solo shot, and later came home on Anthony Recker's blast in the sixth. It was Peterson's first round-tripper since July 22 versus and only his fourth hit in 26 at-bats in August.

Phillies manager Pete Mackanin wouldn't commit to Asche returning to Philadelphia when rosters expand in September, Meghan Montemurro of the News-Journal reports.

The Phillies would like Asche to work between first and third base at Triple-A to increase his versatility and value to the team. The 26-year-old has seen his numbers decrease each of his last three seasons for the Phillies.
