Segura went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run Saturday in the Phillies' 9-3 win over the Marlins.

Segura has reached base in all but three of his past 17 games, slashing .324/.373/.426 over that stretch. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the solid run of late hasn't resulted in Segura providing much juice in the counting categories, as he hasn't produced a home run or stolen base and has rather modest totals of seven RBI and eight runs. He'll at least draw a favorable matchup Sunday against Marlins right-hander Elieser Hernandez, who owns a 2.5 HR/9 rate for the season. Segura will bat fifth and start at shortstop.

Peterson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

The switch-hitting Stevie Wilkerson will pick up a start in the outfield while the lefty-hitting Peterson heads to the bench with southpaw Jalen Beeks slated to work as Tampa Bay's primary pitcher in the series finale. Expect Peterson and WIlkerson to continue to work in a loose platoon in the outfield for the foreseeable future, unless the Orioles promote Austin Hays and/or Ryan Mountcastle from Triple-A Norfolk in September.

Duffy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

After drawing five consecutive starts at the hot corner, Duffy will cede the position to Joey Wendle in the series finale. With Duffy batting .080 over his last eight games and Wendle offering a left-handed alternative at third base now that he's healthy again, it's possible that Duffy transitions into more of a part-time role heading into the final month of the season.

Ramirez, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, will undergo surgery Monday in New York to repair his fractured right hand, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

The Indians won't have an update on a projected timeline for Ramirez's return until after the procedure is completed, but the 26-year-old looks at major risk of missing the remainder of the regular season. Cleveland called up Yu Chang from Triple-A Columbus to shore up the club's depth in the infield, but utility man Mike Freeman is the leading candidate to see most of the action at third base while Ramirez is sidelined. The team could also scour the waiver market for potential solutions at the hot corner.

The Indians placed Ramirez on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a fractured hamate bone in his right hand.

Ramirez exited Saturday's game 4-2 win over the Royals with what was described as a right wrist injury, but an MRI revealed that the star third baseman sustained structural damage to his hand. The Indians have yet to indicate if surgery will be necessary, making Ramirez's timeline to return unclear. Even if he's able to avoid surgery, Ramirez would still likely be looking at a multi-week recovery, which could make him a viable drop candidate with just over a month left in the regular season. Cleveland called up Yu Chang from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move to restore some depth in the infield, but utility man Mike Freeman may get the first crack at replacing Ramirez in the Tribe's everyday lineup.

Senzel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Senzel sat out Saturday's 14-0 loss in what was believed to be a maintenance day, but his absence from the lineup for a second consecutive contest suggests that an injury may be in play. Manager David Bell should shed more light on his decision to keep Senzel on the bench later Sunday, but Phillip Ervin will be called upon to make a second straight start in center field.

Bregman went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Angels.

Bregman came through with the three-run shot during the third inning, which proved to be the difference in the contest. The 25-year-old is crushing the ball in August with a .405/.500/.824 slash line, six home runs and 26 RBI in 20 games.

Donaldson went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Mets.

The veteran slugger has now launched 30 homers for the fourth time in the last five seasons, only missing the mark in his injury-plagued 2018. Donaldson is slashing .263/.378/.525 on the year, and his gamble on a one-year prove-it deal in free agency this offseason with Atlanta seems to have paid off handsomely.

Ramirez underwent an MRI on his right wrist after leaving Saturday's game against the Royals, Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com reports.

The Indians will wait until at least Sunday to make a determination on the MRI results, but a trip to the injured list appears to be a possibility. Ramirez exited the contest with right wrist discomfort after taking a swing during the first inning.

Ramirez exited Saturday's game against the Royals with an apparent right wrist injury, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Ramirez appeared to suffer the injury on a swing during the first inning and was unable to finish the at-bat. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but the Indians could play things safe and keep him out of the lineup Sunday since there's a scheduled off day to follow Monday.
