Longoria (shoulder) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria was removed from Tuesday's game against the Phillies due to right shoulder soreness, and he'll be out of the lineup for at least one matchup. It's possible that the 36-year-old will be available off the bench, but Jason Vosler will start at the hot corner and bat ninth.

The Mariners reinstated Toro (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Toro isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Baltimore, but he should be primed to take on a regular role at either third base or designated hitter beginning Thursday after Seattle placed another everyday player in Kyle Lewis (concussion) on the 7-day injured list. Toro produced a .603 OPS in 135 plate appearances before he landed on the IL on May 22 with a sprained left shoulder, but he was reinstated on the first day he was eligible to return from the shelf.

Phillies manager Joe Girardi said Wednesday that Segura will need surgery to repair his fractured right index finger, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Segura is projected to require 10-to-12 weeks to recover from the procedure.

Philadelphia placed Segura on the 10-day injured list earlier Wednesday after it became apparent he would require surgery to address the injury he sustained in Tuesday's game against the Giants. Segura could have his procedure as soon as Friday, and the Phillies are bracing for the reality that his absence could extend into September, if the longer end of the timeline Girardi provided holds true. Nick Maton was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and will start alongside Johan Camargo in the middle infield in Wednesday's series finale with San Francisco, though one of the two players will lose out on a starting role once Didi Gregorius (knee) returns from the IL as soon as this weekend.

Segura (finger) is expected to miss approximately 10-12 weeks, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Segura was placed on the injured list with a fractured right index finger Wednesday, and the injury is significant enough that he'll likely be sidelined until at least August. The 32-year-old slashed .275/.324/.407 with six homers, 22 runs, 19 RBI and eight stolen bases over 44 games to begin the season, but Johan Camargo, Bryson Stott and Nick Maton should compete for playing time at second base while Segura is sidelined.

Moncada (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Toronto.

The White Sox have thus far resisted placing Moncada on the 10-day injured list, but he'll be on the bench for a fifth consecutive game due to his sore quad. Jake Burger will pick up another start at third base Wednesday while the White Sox continue to evaluate Moncada on a game-by-game basis.

Segura (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Segura was diagnosed with a fractured right index finger after leaving Tuesday's game against the Giants, so it isn't very surprising to see him land on the injured list. A timetable for his return hasn't yet been revealed, but he'll likely be sidelined for at least a couple of weeks. Johan Camargo is starting at second base while Nick Maton takes over at shortstop during Wednesday's matchup against San Francisco.

The Phillies recalled Maton from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday. He'll start at second base and bat eighth in the Phillies' series finale with the Giants.

He'll give the Phillies some additional depth in the middle infield after Jean Segura (finger) joined shortstop Didi Gregorius (knee) on the injured list Wednesday, though Johan Camargo and Bryson Stott may be first in line for reps at either middle-infield spots. Since Stott is one of the organization's top prospects, the Phillies will likely want him to play somewhere on a near-everyday basis, so he could end up getting demoted later this week instead of Maton if Gregorius -- who is currently on a minor-league rehab assignment -- is activated. Even if that happens, Maton may still find himself behind Camargo in the pecking order for reps at second base while Segura is on the mend.

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.
