Segura (quadriceps) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura started a rehab assignment Tuesday but should return to the Phillies' lineup for Friday's series opener against Atlanta. The veteran missed just over two weeks due to his right quadriceps strain but hit .333 with a home run and five RBI in 17 games to begin the season.

Manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Urshela will receive an MRI on his knee, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Urshela was removed from Thursday's loss to the Astros in the top of the eighth inning, and his examination could help to determine the severity of his injury. Boone wasn't sure exactly how Urshela suffered the injury, but the Yankees' manager is optimistic that the issue isn't too serious, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Segura (quadriceps) will travel with the Phillies during their road trip that begins Friday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura has been out for over two weeks due to a right quadriceps strain, but he began a rehab assignment Tuesday. The Phillies haven't indicated which day Segura could be activated, but he could return to the lineup as early as Friday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Urshela was removed in the top of the eighth inning of Thursday's game against the Astros due to an apparent injury, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports. He went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk before departing.

Urshela looked to be walking with a limp when he exited the field, so he could be dealing with some sort of lower-body injury. The Yankees elected to pull Urshela from the contest shortly after he committed a throwing error that allowed Kyle Tucker to advance into scoring position. Expect the team to provide an update on the nature of Urshela's injury shortly after the game concludes.

Escobar isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Miami.

Escobar will be out of the lineup for the first time since April 4 after he went 3-for-11 with a double, two RBI, a walk and a strikeout in the last three games. Josh VanMeter will start at second base and bat sixth.

Donaldson isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rangers.

Donaldson will get a rare day off after he went 2-for-11 with a double, an RBI, a run and three strikeouts in the last three contests. Willians Astudillo will start at third base and bat fourth.

Chapman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

Chapman's lone hit of the game was a fourth-inning solo homer that tied the game 2-2. The long ball was his fifth this season and first in the month of May. Chapman is off to a slow start this season with a .204/.313/.407 slash line, though he does have five home runs and 14 RBI.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's win over the Royals.

Ramirez launched his ninth long ball of the season off Jakob Junis, and the slugging third baseman has connected five of his nine homers over his last nine games. He's hitting .354 while recording at least one knock in all but one of those appearances during that aforementioned nine-game span.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk, two runs scored and two RBI on Wednesday against the Cubs.

Muncy took Adbert Alzolay deep in the fourth inning for his fifth home run of the season. He clubbed another extra-base hit in the 10th inning to drive in his second run of the contest and temporarily gave the Dodgers a 4-3 lead. Though his power production has been sporadic early on, Muncy has gotten on base at a .432 clip and has 18 runs scored to to along with 14 RBI across 128 plate appearances.

Candelario went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and three runs scored in Wednesday's 6-5, extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

Candelario was having a fine game through nine innings but he made it memorable in the top of the 10th, when he launched a go-ahead, three-run home run to break a 3-3 tie. While the Tigers are batting just .202 as a team during their 9-22 start, Candelario has been much better, batting a team-high .284 with three home runs and 11 RBI. The counting stats aren't eye-popping, but the 27-year-old at least looks like Detroit's most reliable offensive contributor this season.
