Segura (head) is starting at shortstop and hitting second Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Segura won't be forced to miss any further action after exiting Sunday's game early with a headache. The 28-year-old will look to continue his solid start to the season, as he's hitting .290/.315/.420 with a pair of homers and five swiped bags in 33 games. He'll matchup against Marcus Stroman in this one.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Monday's win over the Padres.

With Bryce Harper getting a day off, Rendon moved up to hit third Monday and had his first multi-hit performance since coming off the disabled list. The 27-year-old has quickly shaken off any rust from his toe injury, and he seems headed for a very productive summer.

Robinson (hip) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Robinson will head to the disabled list after being scratched from Monday's game against the Tigers. He appeared to suffer the injury during Monday's pregame warmups, and the injury ended up being more serious than originally thought. Robinson will be replaced by Eliezer Alvarez and is eligible to return from the DL on May 15.

Robinson was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Tigers with left hip soreness.

Robinson apparently picked up the injury during Monday's pregame exercises. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but Renato Nunez will enter the lineup in Robinson's place, starting at third base and batting ninth.

Candelario (thumb) is hitting second and playing third base Monday against the Rangers.

Candelario was out of Sunday's lineup due to a jammed thumb, though it appears that reports stating it was a minor injury were correct. He'll resume his normal spot in the order, looking to build off the four homers and 14 RBI he has this season.

Davis is dominating at the Triple-A level, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports.

Since being demoted to Triple-A Fresno, Davis is hitting .425/.474/.655 in 97 plate appearances. He got into nine games for the Astros earlier this season while Yulieski Gurriel was injured, but it will probably take another injury to get him back onto a stacked major-league roster.

Rivera went 1-for-3 with two walks in Sunday's win over the Reds, but he also committed his first two errors of the season.

The 26-year-old has seen little action this season behind Miguel Rojas at shortstop, and Rivera's anemic .148/.258/.148 slash line in 31 plate appearances and unreliable defense aren't doing anything to change that. Expect him to be replaced on the roster by JT Riddle as soon as the Marlins are confident Riddle is fully recovered from his shoulder injury.

Rendon went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

His bases-loaded single to left in the eighth inning was one of the key hits in the Nats' come-from-behind victory, and was also his first hit since coming off the disabled list Saturday. Rendon now sports a .274/.357/.387 slash line through 16 games this season, but expect his power numbers to rise quickly once he's back in rhythm at the plate.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Arizona.

Bregman's homer, his second of the season, gives him hits in five straight games, but like his other hot streaks this season, it's been quiet (5-for-18, one RBI, two runs). He entered Sunday's game ranked 25th among third basemen in ISO (.095).

Riley was promoted from Double-A Mississippi to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The 21-year-old earned the callup by torching Southern League pitching to the tune of a .333/.394/.677 line across 109 plate appearances. Thanks to his plus power and strong plate discipline, Riley looks like he could be Atlanta's long-term answer at third base, but he may need to keep raking at Triple-A to force his way into the big-league lineup on a full-time basis in 2018. Jose Bautista, who signed a minor-league pact with Atlanta in mid-April, has since joined the big club and should be an adequate option at the hot corner until the Braves deem Riley ready to take over.
