Asche will make his fourth straight start in left field Sunday against the Brewers.

The Phillies have been starved from corner outfield help all season, and Asche looks to be the latest in the team's list of options. He's only recorded one hit through his first nine at-bats since returning from the disabled list, however, and will need to get hot in order to stave off playing time from Jimmy Paredes, Tyler Goeddel and Peter Bourjos.

Segura is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs.

Segura will be awarded his first day off since May 25, giving way to Phil Gosselin at second base. The 26-year-old has cooled off a bit following a hot start, as he had a .885 OPS at the end of April, but owns just a .682 mark since.

Rendon went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Reds.

The 25-year-old continued his productive start to June, as he's now hit safely in each of the first three contests in the new month. The homer was also the third for Rendon in the last 10 games, after he'd only smacked a pair between Opening Day and May 23. The Nats' third baseman is now slashing .500/.636/1.000 over his first eight at-bats in June.

McMahon, 21, is batting just .225/.323/.349 with two home runs, 25 RBI and seven steals through 49 games for Double-A Hartford.

Other than the surprising uptick in stolen bases, it has been a lost season thus far for McMahon, who has experienced a power outage while also failing to hit for average.

Suarez went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 7-2 victory over the Nationals.

The 24-year-old has come out the gates smoking in June, now slashing .571/.667/1.571 over his first 11 at-bats of the month. The offensive outburst has already raised Suarez's average 23 points to .242, a much-needed boost after he produced a .173/.229/.357 line in May. Despite his forgettable stretch at the plate, Suarez's power never left him, and he's now up to 13 homers after hitting three over the last two games.

Rendon went 1-for-2 with two walks in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Reds.

The 25-year-old continues to nudge his average upward, and he's now seen a 54-point boost since May 9. Rendon finished May with three multi-hit outings in five games, and has started June with a .667 average over the first two contests.

The Mets recalled Reynolds from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Reynolds was called up to take the roster spot of David Wright, who landed on the disabled list with a neck injury. Reynolds split his time with Las Vegas between third base and shortstop, and he will open his latest stint with the big club as a backup at both positions.

Manager Pete Mackanin does not have a set plan for how he will rotate Asche into the lineup, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

Asche started in left field Thursday and went 0-for-2 before Tyler Goeddel was used to pinch hit for him later in the game. Asche will have to hit to ensure he stays in the lineup. The Phillies have options in left field with Goeddel and Jimmy Paredes.

Suarez went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs, three runs scored and four RBI in Thursday's win over the Rockies.

Hitless in his last eight games coming into the series (0-for-25), Suarez went 6-for-15 with three homers in four games at Coors Field. The double Thursday was just his third of the season, but he's now up to 12 home runs -- only Trevor Story and Manny Machado have more among shortstop-eligible players. Suarez can now look ahead to some home cooking with the Reds slated to begin a nine-game homestand Friday.

Reynolds is on his way to join the Mets in Miami, Adam Rubin of ESPN.com reports.

David Wright (neck) is facing an extended absence, and Reynolds will be recalled in the corresponding move when Wright is officially placed on the DL. Reynolds has managed just a .230/.291/.360 line in 35 games at Triple-A Las Vegas in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League this season. He figures to see only occasional starts in the infield against lefties.
