Segura went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over Colorado.

The infielder padded Philadelphia's lead with his fifth-inning homer. Segura has homered four times in his last 16 games to bring his total to 12 this season. He's been more of a contact hitter with a .297/.358/.445 slash line, 50 RBI, 68 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 492 plate appearances. He's added three triples and 24 doubles in 114 contests.

Urias isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

Urias returned to the lineup from an upper-leg injury that cost him a couple games in Saturday's matinee and went 1-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts. Kelvin Gutierrez will start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Chapman exited Saturday's loss to the Rangers after he fouled a ball off his left foot/shin area, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chapman underwent an X-ray that came back negative after he exited Saturday's matchup, but manager Bob Melvin said that the third baseman is unlikely to play in Sunday's series finale. The 28-year-old went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts prior to his early departure.

Longoria went 2-for-3 with a single, a double, a walk, a run scored and three RBI in Saturday's 15-4 win over the Cubs. He also chipped in a sacrifice fly.

One day after knocking in three runs against the Cubs, Longoria did it again, only this time without the help of the long ball. The 35-year-old has now pushed across nine runs in his last four games.

Newman isn't starting Saturday's game against the Nationals.

Newman recorded hits in each of his last four games and went 5-for-14 with a home run and three RBI during that time. Cole Tucker will shift to shortstop while Hoy Park draws the start at second base.

Sosa (wrist) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Reds and doesn't seem likely to return in the next couple days, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

He will make his first attempts at swinging a bat, but Jones notes that Sosa's availability is still very limited. Paul DeJong will continue to start at shortstop while Sosa is out.

Urias (upper leg) is starting at second base and batting fifth in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

He hasn't played since making one at-bat Sept. 8. Urias is currently riding a modest six-game hitting streak.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-0 win over San Diego.

The All-Star first baseman provided all the offense the Dodgers would need in the contest with a two-run blast to right field in the third inning. The long ball was his second in three games, and he has gone 4-for-12 with three RBI over that stretch. Muncy's 32 homers on the season are tied with Pete Alonso for third in the National League.

Hayes went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI in Friday's 4-3 win over Washington.

The rookie has strung together a six-game hit streak during which he's gone 10-for-24 with two stolen bases. His opposite-field, ninth-inning single Friday marked the first time he's come through with a walkoff hit in the majors. Hayes has also scored five runs in six games since moving to the leadoff spot. His overall slash line of .258/.325/.377 isn't particularly impressive, but his recent performance gives hope that he'll continue to improve as he distances himself from a wrist injury that forced him to the 60-day IL earlier in 2021.

Longoria went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a sacrifice fly in Friday's 6-1 win over the Cubs.

The third baseman gave San Francisco its first lead of the game with his seventh-inning blast. He added insurance in the eighth with the sac fly, giving him his second consecutive multi-RBI game. He's gone 4-for-15 across seven games since returning from a hand injury Sept. 3. For the year, Longoria is slashing .287/.386/.527 with 11 home runs, 37 RBI, 38 runs scored and a stolen base in 220 plate appearances.
