  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Headed to DL

    Segura (ankle) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Friday.

    The injury is being dubbed a high ankle sprain, and it appears that the injury is serious enough to warrant a DL stint. No word has been released about how long Segura will remain out, but Taylor Motter seems to be the likely option to fill in at shortstop while he's on the shelf.

  • Jace Peterson SS | ARI

    Braves' Jace Peterson: Optioned to Triple-A

    Peterson was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

    He hit just .194/.293/.259 with zero home runs and two steals in 123 plate appearances this season. Johan Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to take over Peterson's utility duties.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Receives promotion Friday

    McMahon was promoted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Nick Groke of The Denver Post reports.

    In his second season with Double-A Hartford, the top prospect showed that he had mastered the level, slashing .326/.390/.536 with six home runs, 28 runs scored and 32 RBI in 49 games. He also added seven steals and learned a new position (second base), pushing the Rockies to advance him up the organizational ladder. McMahon drastically improved his strikeout rate with the Yard Goats this season (19 percent), and if he can keep it up with the Isotopes, his added positional versatility could make him a candidate for a call to the big leagues toward the end of the season.

  • Pedro Alvarez 3B | MIA

    Orioles' Pedro Alvarez: Reaches

    Alvarez has reached a "temporary resolution" to remain with the Orioles at Triple-A Norfolk, Dan Connolly of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    The 30-year-old slugger could have opted out of his deal Thursday, but he and the organization managed to keep things at status quo. Details on Alvarez's agreement have been kept mum, but it's said to not be a long-term fix. His experiment playing the outfield has not gone well, thus limiting his usefulness for the Orioles as of now.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Hits solo homer against Mariners

    Arenado went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during Thursday's win over Seattle.

    The bomb snapped a nine-game homer drought, which was his longest of the campaign. With 13 homers, 35 RBI, 37 runs and a .276/.336/.547 slash line, Arenado is turning in another monster fantasy campaign. He's established himself as one of the most reliable assets year in, year out, and playing half his games in Coors Field is a nice bonus.

  • Orioles' Manny Machado: Scores twice Thursday

    Machado went 2-for-4 with two runs during Thursday's win over Boston.

    After registering just five multi-hit showings through 27 May games (.191/.238/.391 slash line), it was encouraging to see Machado kick-start June with two hits and two runs. The 24-year-old star has underachieved in 2017, but his pedigree and track record are reasons to stay patient. After all, Machado is still on pace for a third consecutive 30-home run season.

  • Orioles' Manny Machado: Ends 0-for-18 slide

    Machado went 2-for-4 and scored twice in Thursday's win over Boston.

    The All-Star entered the game stuck in a miserable 0-for-18 slump, but broke through with a first-inning single. Still, Machado's .211/.289/.407 slash line through 51 games represents career-worst numbers across the board. Most would assume the slugger will turn things around, but the sample size (204 at-bats) is no longer small, and owners have a right to be biting their fingernails as June begins.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Receiving further tests on ankle

    Segura (ankle) is undergoing additional tests on the injury he incurred during Thursday's game, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

    Segura hurt his ankle while sliding into second base Thursday and had to be helped off the field. More information regarding the severity of the ailment is expected to be released Friday, but the team doesn't expect him to be available for the next few days. In his place, look for Taylor Motter to fill in at shortstop.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Helped off field following ankle injury

    Segura was removed early from Thursday's game with the Rockies due to an apparent ankle injury, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

    Prior to exiting, Segura was 0-for-2 with a walk. He unsuccessfully tried to advance to second base on a sacrifice fly and appeared to injure himself on the slide. It's unclear how severe the injury is, but it's certainly not a good sign that he had to be helped off the field. Consider him day-to-day until more information is released. Taylor Motter moved to shortstop to fill in for him.

  • Josh Wilson 3B | CLE

    Indians' Josh Wilson: Dealt to Indians

    Wilson was traded to the Indians on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.

    The 36-year-old has been tearing it up at Triple-A Round Rock this season, posting a .918 OPS in 22 games with the Express. This intrigued the Tribe enough to bring him over to Cleveland, although he'll likely spend more time as an organizational depth piece given the lack of room on the big-league roster.
