Segura is out of Wednesday's lineup but he is not headed to the seven-day concussion list, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Segura was hit in the head with a pitch in Tuesday's game and taken to the hospital. However, the Diamondbacks did not make any roster moves on Wednesday, meaning Segura won't be headed to the concussion list. He figures to slot in at the top of the order again soon.

Rendon went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

Rendon has failed to replicate his breakout 2014 campaign, totaling just eight homers in 126 games since after smacking 21 back then. The third baseman does have five runs and eight RBI in the last seven games, so he's swinging a hot bat at the moment.

Arenado went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Arenado struggled both at the plate and on the field during this game, and he recorded his first error of the campaign at the same time he whiffed three times. The third baseman has gone 0-for-12 over his last three games, so perhaps a day off would help him to clear his mind.

Segura was taken to the hospital following Tuesday's game after showing signs of a concussion after getting hit in the head by a pitch, MLB.com's Steve Gilbert reports.

This was certainly the fear when Arquimedes Caminero hit Segura in the head with a 96 mph fastball. Segura got up quickly and walked off under his own power, but it now sounds like he could be diagnosed with a concussion. Look for his status to be updated Wednesday. Nick Ahmed was also hit above the shoulders by a pitch from Caminero on Tuesday, so the D-Backs may be stretched thin up the middle in the short term.

Segura left Tuesday's game under his own power after getting hit in the head by a 96 mph fastball, MLB.com's Steve Gilbert reports.

He was down on the ground briefly, but quickly got up and walked off while being replaced by a pinch-runner (Michael Bourn). The fact that he was up quickly and able to walk off under his own power is encouraging. Segura was hit in the head by a pitch in May of 2015 and dodged a concussion, so hopefully the same holds true this time around.

Suarez is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

Mired in a slump that includes 10 strikeouts in his last 11 at-bats, Suarez will be spared a night in the starting lineup against Clayton Kershaw on Monday. Jordan Pacheco is making a spot start at third base in Suarez's absence.

Asche (oblique) had his rehab assignment transferred to Double-A Reading on Sunday, Steve Patton of the Reading Eagle reports.

Asche went 0-for-4 in his first game for Reading after going 3-for-18 with a home run in five games with High-A Clearwater. The Phillies have not announced a plan for when Asche will come off the disabled list, but it will have to happen by the end of the month as there is a maximum of 20 days that he can be on a rehab assignment.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a triple, a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

He's definitely found his groove at the plate, and Rendon now has four multi-hit performances in his last five games while hitting .405 (17-for-42) over his last 12 outings. He hasn't homered since May 6, but six of those last 17 hits have gone for extra bases so it seems only a matter of time before he starts putting balls over the wall instead of into the gaps.

Duffy went 1-for-4 on Saturday, swiping his fifth bag of the year in a win over the Cubs.

It has undoubtedly been a disappointing sophomore season for Duffy. With only third-base eligibility in most leagues, he has barely been worthy of a roster spot in standard formats. The increase in steals has been the only positive for Duffy so far, as he's on pace to swipe 20 bags, which is more on par with his career minor league totals. Looking ahead, his .260 BABIP is over 70 points lower than last year's mark, and he's striking out less and walking more. This tells us that he has been getting unlucky and things should turn around eventually.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in Friday's 4-1 victory over the Marlins.

That's three straight multi-hit efforts for the 25-year-old, and he's now reached safely in 14 straight games as well. Rendon has displayed solid plate discipline in May, drawing 12 of his 21 free passes on the season during this month. He brings a bit of everything to the table, as he's also swiped four bags and smashed a pair of homers in May.
