Segura had X-rays on his hand after getting hit by a pitch Friday against the Astros, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Segura was hit in the eighth inning but did not leave the game. He appears to have avoided a serious injury but is considered day-to-day.

Arenado left Friday's contest against the Dodgers after tweaking his shoulder, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

The third baseman suffered the injury while turning a 3-5-3 double play. The severity of the injury is not yet clear, though he was reportedly removed for precautionary reasons, which suggests that the Rockies don't currently expect the issue to be a serious one.

Machado is not in the lineup against Colorado on Friday, Andy McCullough of The Los Angeles Times reports.

Machado will get a day off for the first time since coming over to Los Angeles. Since becoming a Dodger, he's slashed .280/.366/.427 with two home runs, five RBI and 25 strikeouts in 20 games. In his place, Chris Taylor will start at shortstop and bat sixth.

Segura went 3-for-5 with an RBI ground-rule double, a solo home run and two runs in a win over the Astros on Thursday.

Segura was part of a Mariners' barrage of offense against Justin Verlander over the first two innings, with his ninth homer of the season capping off a six-run attack to open the game. A rare day off last Tuesday against the Rangers seems to have agreed with Segura, who's gone 4-for-9 with a double, Thursday's round tripper, four RBI, a walk and four runs in the subsequent two games. The surge in production has helped put the 3-for-27 slump he opened August with firmly in the rear view mirror.

Duffy is not in the lineup against Toronto on Friday.

Duffy will take a seat for the first time since July 27 as Brandon Lowe gets a start in the infield for Friday's series opener. Over that 11 games span, Duffy is hitting .326/.367/.348 with four RBI and four multi-hit games. Look for him to rejoin the lineup Saturday.

Duffy went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk in a win over the Orioles on Thursday.

Duffy's hot start to August persists, and he would have had his first multi-RBI game since July 1 if Mallex Smith hadn't been gunned down at the plate on Duffy's two-bagger. The 27-year-old continues to sport personal bests in average (.304) and on-base percentage (.356), while his 17 doubles and 32 RBI both rank as the second-highest figures of his career.

Valencia was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Friday.

Valencia has started only four of the last 10 games so it's relatively easy to see why the Orioles would make the move, despite his .325 average since the All-Star break. Outfielder Cedric Mullins joins Baltimore from Triple-A Norfolk for his first taste of the majors.

Muncy hit a pinch-hit home run in the seventh inning of Thursday's game against the Rockies.

It was nice to see Muncy connect as he entered the game with just a .183/.265/.383 line since the All-Star break. Given the dip in performance, the addition of Brian Dozier and the return of Justin Turner from the disabled list, Muncy will likely continue to sit a couple times per week moving forward.

Davis was optioned to Triple-A Fresno on Thursday, Christian Boutwell of MLB.com reports.

Davis will head to the minors after appearing in 13 games during his latest big-league stint. Since being recalled from Triple-A on July 20, he's gone just 6-for-40 with one RBI. In a corresponding move, Carlos Correa (back) is expected to be activated from the disabled list ahead of Friday's tilt against Seattle.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's game against Atlanta.

Rendon plated a run in the third inning on a sacrifice fly to left field. Following Thursday's series finale, he's recorded back-to-back multi-hit games, going 5-for-8 with two RBI over that stretch. Rendon heads into the weekend series hitting .291 with 16 homers and 58 RBI through 90 contests in 2018.
