Segura (head) is starting at shortstop and hitting leadoff Tuesday against the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

As expected, Segura is back in action after being withheld from Monday's lineup for precautionary reasons. The 28-year-old, who is hitting an impressive .324/.341/.465 through 50 games this season, will face righty Austin Bibens-Dirkx in his return to action.

Senzel (vertigo) is starting at second base and hitting second for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

As expected, Senzel is back in action with the Bats after being shut down at the beginning of May with vertigo. The 22-year-old prospect was hitting .271/.351/.459 across 22 games with Louisville prior to landing on the shelf.

Donaldson (calf) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Donaldson left Monday's game early with a calf injury, but he doesn't believe the injury to be serious. He stated that the Blue Jays would likely give him the day off Tuesday regardless of how he felt, so it's difficult to predict whether Donaldson will be penciled into the lineup for Wednesday's series finale versus Boston. Russell Martin will take over at third base and bat sixth in his stead.

Longoria went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and a trio of RBI in Monday's extra-innings loss to the Rockies.

Longoria benefited from the Coors Field effect, tallying his third three-hit and second three-RBI game of the year. The veteran is slashing .259/.289/.458 through 52 games and is on pace to surpass last year's marks of 36 doubles and 20 homers.

Davis went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday in the win over the Yankees.

Davis delivered his first home run of the season in the second inning of Monday's game, giving New York an early three-run lead. Through 12 games, he's gone 7-for-31 with the lone home run, seven RBI and seven walks.

Rendon went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer and an additional run scored in Monday's win over the Orioles.

Rendon is starting to find a groove at the dish, as Monday marked his first three-RBI contest of the season while he's tallied two homers and four doubles across his last five games. He's now slashing a solid .272/.359/.496 across 33 games this season and will look to stay dialed in at the plate.

Segura (head) is expected to play Tuesday against the Rangers, TJ Cotterill of The News Tribune reports.

Segura was a late scratch from Monday's lineup, but he didn't suffer a setback. Manager Scott Servais stated he was being conservative by keeping Segura out of the lineup, and that he should be good to go for Tuesday's matchup.

Lewis, 18, is slashing .303/.350/.407 across 161 plate appearances with Low-A Cedar Rapids this season.

Lewis received the day off Monday in Cedar Rapids' 4-3 loss to Clinton, a deserved reward after he played both ends of a doubleheader Sunday. In the first game of the twin bill, Lewis raised his batting average back over .300 after turning in the first multi-homer game of his career. Lewis still only has three long balls and nine total extra-base hits on the campaign, but he projects to add more power as he gets older and fills out his 6-foot-2, 188-pound frame. For now, Lewis' appeal in dynasty formats lies primarily in his lightning-quick bat and premium wheels. Lewis has already collected 13 steals this season and owns a 31-for-35 success rate on the bases through the first 91 games of his minor-league career.

Donaldson doesn't believe the calf issue that forced him out of Monday's game against the Red Sox is serious, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

Donaldson exited the game in the fifth inning with left calf tightness, being replaced by Gio Urshela after going 1-for-1 with a pair of walks. The good news is the third baseman didn't sound worried about the issue afterwards, comparing it to the calf cramps he dealt with in spring training that forced him to miss a couple of Grapefruit League games rather than the calf strain that sent him to the disabled list last season. Donaldson added that his presence in Tuesday's lineup will depend on how he feels, though he admitted the Blue Jays would likely give him a day off regardless.

Donaldson was removed from Monday's game against the Red Sox with left calf tightness, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

Donaldson appeared to suffer the injury while running the bases in the fifth inning, as he gingerly made his way to third base on a double from Justin Smoak before being replaced on the bases by Gio Urshela. The severity of the issue remains unclear at this point, but he spent some time on the disabled list at the start of last season with a right calf injury. He is currently be evaluated by the Blue Jays' medical staff.
