Bregman was removed from Wednesday's game with an apparent leg injury, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The 26-year-old hit a double during the fourth inning Wednesday, but he pulled up while running to first base and exited after limping into second. Bregman should be considered day-to-day until the team offers more information on the injury.

Segura (hamstring) will likely return to action Thursday against the Blue Jays, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Segura was held out of the Phillies' lineup while dealing with a hamstring issue over the past two games, but manager Joe Girardi said that he should be ready to return for Thursday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays. The 30-year-old is slashing .222/.344/.426 with three home runs and four RBI this season.

Burger (Achilles) was added to the White Sox's 60-man player pool Wednesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Burger was playing in an independent league to get reps this season after he was left off the team's 60-man roster, but he'll now get to work at alternate camp in Schaumburg. He hasn't seen any game action since 2017 due to Achilles issues, and it's unclear whether he's game ready for the shortened 2020 season.

Senzel was placed on the injured list Wednesday.

The Reds didn't specify a reason for the move, but it could potentially be related to the positive coronavirus test that caused the Reds' past few games to get postponed. It's possible Senzel was the person who tested positive, though players can be placed on the COVID-19 injured list merely for having been exposed to someone who tested positive, so it's difficult to know for sure. Shogo Akiyama slides to center field for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals.

Moustakas (quadriceps) is starting at designated hitter and batting fifth in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals. He is also planning to play the field in the nightcap, John Fay of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

It's encouraging that Moustakas may start both games of the twin bill after being sidelined with a quad strain. This will be a homecoming of sorts, as he will be playing in Kansas City, his home city for the early phase of his career.

Newman went 3-for-4 with a double and a walk in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Indians.

He's slashing .378/.391/.511 in 47 plate appearances in August. Newman, who stole 16 bases last season, was thrown out in his lone attempt thus far in 2020. Still, after starting the season in a 1-for-20 funk, it seems as though the infielder has found his stroke.

Segura (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Manager Joe Girardi will give Segura a second straight day off while the infielder contends with a hamstring injury. The Phillies are labeling Segura as day-to-day, leaving the team hopeful that he'll be ready to go for one or both halves of Thursday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays or the weekend series in Atlanta. Phil Gosselin will man the keystone in place of Segura on Wednesday.

Escobar started at second base in place of the resting Ketel Marte in Tuesday's 10-1 win over Oakland. He went 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI.

This was the first start at second base for Escobar, who played the same position 32 times in 2019. His eligibility for middle infield may end here in 2020, as second base is Marte's permanent home.

Davis went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Marlins.

He smacked his fourth homer of the year when he drove a Humberto Mejia fastball to center field to lead off the fourth inning. Davis isn't yet matching the pace from his breakout 2019 but has still been a steady presence in the heart of the Mets' order, slashing .269/.418/.423 with two homers and six RBI through 15 games in August.

Devers went 3-for-5 with an RBI double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 13-6 loss to the Phillies.

Devers got on base with a single in the first inning and then scored on a Xander Bogaerts single. In the third, Devers knocked in Alex Verdugo with a double before scoring on a J.D. Martinez double. In his last seven games, Devers is 8-for-30 (.267) with three RBI and five runs scored. He's slashing .207/.258/.345 with two homers, six RBI and 13 runs scored in 22 games overall.
