Segura (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Manager Joe Girardi had expressed doubt in Segura's ability to return within a few days, and the shortstop will indeed miss no fewer than ten with the left groin strain. The injury comes at a brutal time for Segura, who has hit .373 in his last 12 games. Nick Maton was recalled Wednesday to help fill the infield void left by Segura's absence.

Muncy (oblique) is pain-free and remains on-track for a minimum stay on the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

With his current trajectory, Muncy could return Tuesday during what's likely to be a hotly-contested series against the Padres. Though he endured a 3-for-21 stretch in eight games before the injury, Muncy still boasts a .418 OBP and has undoubtedly been one of the Dodgers' most impactful bats this season.

Toro was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

The 24-year-old return to the majors for the first time since late April with Kyle Tucker (illness) landing on the COVID-19 injured list. Toro is 1-for-12 this season and will provide infield depth with Aledmys Diaz (hand) also sidelined.

Sosa underwent X-rays after leaving Wednesday's game against the Marlins that came back negative and revealed a right hand contusion, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Sosa was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning Wednesday and needed several minutes to regroup before heading to first base. Although he remained in the game initially, he was replaced at second base to begin the eighth inning. The 25-year-old is considered day-to-day following his diagnosis.

Sosa left Wednesday's game against the Marlins in the top of the eighth inning after he was hit by a pitch on his right wrist, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Sosa appeared to be in considerable pain after he took a pitch to his right hand in the bottom of the seventh inning, but he was initially able to stay in the game. However, he was replaced defensively to begin the eighth inning. The exact nature and severity of the 25-year-old's injury aren't yet clear. He went 1-for-2 with a base hit and his third stolen base of the season before departing.

White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that he expects Moncada (illness) to rejoin the lineup Thursday against the Astros, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Moncada will remain on the bench for a third straight game Wednesday against the Rays, though La Russa didn't rule out the possibility of the 26-year-old making a cameo off the bench as a pinch hitter. The White Sox would seemingly prefer to stay away from Moncada for another day as a precaution, but at his point, he appears to be making progress in his recovery from a sinus infection. Moncada will likely be re-evaluated early Thursday before the White Sox provide an update on his availability for the series opener in Houston.

Rendon (triceps) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Rendon suffered a right triceps strain Monday, and he'll remain out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. However, manager Joe Maddon is optimistic that the third baseman won't require a trip to the injured list. Phil Gosselin will start at third base and bat seventh Wednesday.

Moustakas (heel) has returned to Cincinnati after he experienced some soreness in Tuesday's rehab game with Triple-A Louisville, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The Reds were hopeful that Moustakas could be reinstated from the injured list during their upcoming road trip in San Diego, but manager David Bell says that's now unlikely following the infielder's setback, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports. It's not yet clear when Moustakas will be able to return to game action, but Kyle Farmer and Mike Freeman could continue to see increased playing time during the weekend series against the Padres.

Walls isn't starting Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls went 1-for-5 with a double, a run, two walks and a strikeout across the last two games. Joey Wendle will shift to shortstop and bat sixth.

McMahon isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

McMahon nearly hit for the cycle Tuesday when he went 3-for-3 with a home run, a triple, four RBI and two runs in the win over San Diego, but he'll get a breather in the series finale. Joshua Fuentes will take over at third base and bat sixth.
