Rivera was optioned back to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Wednesday.

Rivera was called up Tuesday as a temporary replacement to Hernan Perez, who was placed on paternity leave. The 24-year-old didn't see any action while with the Brewers for two games and is 9-for-46 on the year in the majors.

Peterson homered and knocked in three runs in a 2-for-5 game Tuesday against the Marlins.

After 31 games, Peterson is finally on the board with his first home run. His 11:18 BB:K is nice, but with just four extra-base hits all year, his power leaves a lot to be desired. Even after today's solid performance, he's hitting just .256/.348/.333.

Segura, despite going 0-for-2, stole a pair of bases Tuesday, walking twice and scoring a run in a 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Despite the hitless effort, Segura has been hot of late, with five multi-hit games in his last nine. He's been a pleasant surprise for the Diamondbacks this year, hitting .305 after hitting just .246 and .257 in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

Arenado went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 8-4 win at Yankee Stadium.

Arenado is up to 50 runs scored and 60 RBI to go with 21 long balls in just 69 appearances this season. The 25-year-old third baseman is much more than just a Coors Field product, and deserves respect at every venue. You don't get a .295/.368/.590 line without stellar road play.

LeMahieu went 3-for-5 with two runs and a steal in Tuesday's 8-4 triumph over the Yankees.

LeMahieu has been doing what he does best with six hits over the last two games. His .492 slugging percentage trails a number of Rockies regulars, but the second baseman's .388 OBP is invaluable for a lineup teeming with dangerous power hitters.

Duffy (achilles) will not return until after the All-Star break in mid-July, Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News reports.

Duffy left Sunday's game with an achilles injury that will leave him out until July 15 at the earliest. He is currently in a walking boot and it will take him around three weeks plus a rehab assignment before he is back on the field with the Giants. Duffy is hitting .253 with four home runs and 21 RBI during his 70 games with the club this season.

Rivera was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday.

Rivera will temporarily take the roster spot of Hernan Perez, who was placed on the paternity list to attend to the birth of his daughter. Rivera was with the Brewers for all of April and the first two weeks of May, posting a .196/.213/.261 slash line in 47 plate appearances. He hasn't fared much better at the Triple-A level.

Hayes, 19, is batting .269/.325/.399 with six home runs, 31 RBI and six steals through 55 games for Low-A West Virginia.

The teenager has not been overwhelmed at this level. The son of former big leaguer Charlie Hayes was a first round selection in the 2015 draft, and is expected to play the same position as his father. The younger Hayes is still a few years away from making an impact for the Pirates, but his future is bright, and his power is expected to develop as he matures.

Duffy has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with an Achilles strain, Andrew Baggarly of the Bay Area News Group reports.

Duffy has had minor Achilles problems in the past that have only forced him out of a few games, but this one is bad enough that he'll need at least two weeks before he can make it back. For now, it's unclear if he'll need to spend any more than the minimum time on the disabled list before he returns. Duffy underwent an MRI on Monday, and we'll update if the results reveal any more information. The Giants have not announced a corresponding roster move, although shortstop prospect Christian Arroyo, currently hitting .285/.330/.397 for Double-A Richmond, is a possibility.

Duffy (Achilles) had an MRI on Monday, Andrew Baggarly of the Bay Area News Group reports.

Duffy isn't expected to be available for Monday's game against the Pirates in any capacity. However, based off past experience with soreness in his Achilles heel, it isn't believed that Duffy will miss more than a few games and simply needs the time to rest. Ramiro Pena will likely get the nod and start at third base during Duffy's absence.
