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.

Ramirez went 1-for-2 with three walks, two runs and a stolen base during Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Royals.

The 29-year-old was intentionally walked twice and was retired only once in five plate appearances. Ramirez slumped briefly in early May but came alive during the second half of the month, going 15-for-47 (.319 average) with six home runs, 19 RBI, 11 runs and four stolen bases in his last 13 games.

Toro (shoulder) reported to High-A Everett for a rehab assignment Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The 25-year-old landed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left shoulder May 22, and Wednesday is the first day he's eligible to be activated. Toro could be back on the active roster before the end of the current series in Baltimore, which finishes up Thursday.

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.

LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Tuesday's victory over the Angels.

LeMahieu ripped an RBI double in the bottom of the second inning off Noah Syndergaard before later adding another RBI, a single and a walk. The second baseman has now secured a hit in all three games since returning from a wrist injury, going 4-for-12 with two doubles and two RBI over those contests. LeMahieu is now batting .256 over 156 at-bats this season, though that figure represents his lowest mark since his debut season with the Cubs in 2011.
