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.

Segura was removed from Tuesday's game against the Giants with an apparent right hand injury, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

The 31-year-old was struck on the right hand by a pitch while attempting to bunt during the seventh inning and was unable to finish his at-bat. Bryson Stott finished the plate appearance and took over at shortstop, shifting Johan Camargo to second base. It's unclear if Segura will require a trip to the injured list.

Machado was ejected from Tuesday's game at St. Louis for arguing balls and strikes, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Machado struck out to end the sixth inning and expressed his displeasure toward the home plate umpire, resulting in an his removal from the contest. The All-Star third baseman went 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts prior to being tossed.

Vargas signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Friday and was assigned to Triple-A Rochester.

Vargas quickly found a new home after he elected free agency last week when the Cubs designated him for assignment. Before being booted off the Cubs' 40-man roster, Vargas went 3-for-23 over 10 games with the big club.

Madrigal (back) was activated off the injured list Tuesday.

Madrigal had been out since early May with lower-back tightness, but he's good to go after appearing in a pair of rehab games. He won't immediately re-enter the lineup, however, and it remains to be seen how he'll fit into the picture at second base going forward. Andrelton Simmons will start at that spot Tuesday, with Nico Hoerner serving as the shortstop.

Urshela is out of the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

Urshela will receive a breather for Game 2 after he played all nine innings while going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the Twins' 8-2 win in the early game. Jose Miranda replaces Urshela at the hot corner, batting sixth.

Senzel will start in center field and bat third in Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Senzel was initially scheduled to get Tuesday off, but he'll stay in the lineup for the series opener in Boston after left fielder Tommy Pham was scratched due to left calf discomfort. In his seven games since being reinstated from the COVID-19-related injured list May 23, Senzel has gone 6-for-27 with no extra-base hits or steals, four walks, four runs and two RBI.

Moncada (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Though he was able to make a cameo as a pinch hitter in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs and had the benefit of a team off day Monday, Moncada's sore quad will keep him on the bench for a fourth consecutive contest. Jake Burger will pick up the start at third base in Moncada's stead and will bat out of the cleanup spot.
