The Giants activated Longoria (hand, triceps) from the 10-day disabled list Thursday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Longoria is ready to rejoin the Giants after playing four rehab games with Triple-A Sacramento. Expect him to resume his role as the Giants' regular third baseman moving forward.

Segura went 1-for-3 with a go-ahead RBI single in a win over the Giants on Wednesday.

Segura's hit to center in the eighth plated Guillermo Heredia to snap a 2-2 tie, giving the Mariners a one-run lead that would ultimately prove to be enough. The 28-year-old has cooled off in July after a torrid first three months-plus of the season, but he's still hit safely in eight straight games. However, all of those have been one-hit efforts, leading to a pedestrian .246 average and .274 on-base percentage for the month.

Rendon was put on the paternity list prior to Thursday's game in Miami, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

Rendon will be away from the team for Thursday's series opener and could miss up to three games while he's with his family. The Nationals will make a corresponding move in the coming hours. Look for Mark Reynolds or Wilmer Difo to man third base in his stead.

Muncy went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Phillies.

The 27-year-old continues to rake, and Muncy's now hitting .289 (22-for-76) in July with seven homers and 12 RBI in 20 games. Muncy's 24 big-league homers this year are already more than he hit in the last two seasons combined over 225 games between Triple-A and the majors.

Candelario went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Royals.

Candelario batted leadoff in this one with Leonys Martin getting a day off and he performed well. The 24-year-old has cooled off after a strong start to the year, as he's batting just .184 since the beginning of June, but he still figures prominently into the future plans for the rebuilding Tigers, so Candelario should continue to receive regular playing time over the rest of this season.

Duffy is 1-for-12 with an RBI over the three games he's played since missing two contests against the Marlins last week with back spasms.

It's unknown if the issue is still affecting him to a degree, as offensive struggles have been a rarity for Duffy in what has been a stellar season. Despite the downturn over the last three games and a rather ordinary July overall (.254 average across 72 plate appearances), Duffy's .309 average and .363 on-base percentage on the season both qualify as career bests.

Walding was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley prior to Wednesday's matchup with the Dodgers, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Walding is 0-for-10 through 10 games in the major leagues this season after multiple stints with the big club. He'll head to the minors so Philadelphia can make room on the roster for another arm following a 16-inning contest with the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with a home run and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Angels.

Moncada's solo blast in the seventh inning provided an important insurance run to put Chicago ahead by three in a game it would go on to win, 4-2. The 23-year-old is just 3-for-19 since returning from the All-Star break, but he's been having a solid July overall. In 68 at-bats in the month, he's slashing .279/.388/.515 with three homers, three doubles and a pair of triples.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

Bregman got the scoring started early, putting the Astros on the board just two batters into the game with a two-run shot in the top of the first. The 24-year-old has already topped last year's output with 21 home runs and now sits just three RBI away from matching the 71 he totaled last season.

Plouffe was 1-for-3 with a walkoff three-run home run during the 16th inning to lift the Phillies over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Plouffe entered the game in the 12th inning and had the good fortune to bat with runners on first and second with position player Enrique Hernandez on the mound for Los Angeles. The 32-year-old has seen minimal opportunities -- two starts and 11 plate appearances -- since having his contract selected by the Phillies on July 10, but he made his presence known Tuesday. Plouffe is now 3-for-11 with a home run, three RBI and five strikeouts on the season.
