Segura is out of Wednesday's lineup but he is not headed to the seven-day concussion list, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Segura was hit in the head with a pitch in Tuesday's game and taken to the hospital. However, the Diamondbacks did not make any roster moves on Wednesday, meaning Segura won't be headed to the concussion list. He figures to slot in at the top of the order again soon.

Muncy was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Muncy got just two starts during his stint with the A's, going 2-for-5 with a walk and a strikeout. He'll head back to Nashville for more regular playing time while Jed Lowrie will reclaim his spot on the active roster.

Moustakas (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, and according to MLB.com's Jeffrey Flanagan, he will be examined by team doctors Thursday in Kansas City.

Per Flanagan, Moustakas was able to take some swings Wednesday, but he reported some discomfort when he tried to move laterally. He'll get the day off yet again Wednesday while Chelsor Cuthbert makes another start at the hot corner, batting seventh in the order. Thursday's visit with team doctors ought to provide a clearer picture for when Moustakas can be expected to return.

Plouffe is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Royals, Tom Schreier of Cold Omaha reports.

Plouffe will take a seat Wednesday as the Twins go with Eduardo Nunez at third base and Brian Dozier at second. Nunez will serve as the leadoff man against Kansas City's Dillon Gee.

Escobar went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Royals.

Escobar has delivered two strong games in a row since his return from the DL. He's notched five hits in eight at-bats while making back-to-back starts at shortstop.

Ramirez walked twice, stole a base and scored a pair of runs in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the White Sox.

One of Ramirez's two walks came after a 10-pitch at-bat, which seemed to tire out White Sox ace Chris Sale and ultimately led to his demise. Ramirez has earned steady at-bats of late while primarily filling in for Michael Brantley in the corner outfield, but his ability to play multiple spots across the field should continue to garner him around two or three starts per week even once Brantley is healthy.

Alvarez hit his third home run, a solo shot, and walked in a 1-for-5 game Tuesday against the Astros.

Alvarez is a pure power hitter and the power just hasn't been there this season. He was mired in a 4-for-26 slump in the nine games since his last home run May 8, and he's hitting just .191/.300/.351. As much as he needed Tuesday's home run, he also struck out three more times and now has 24 strikeouts in just 94 at-bats this year.

Rendon went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

Rendon has failed to replicate his breakout 2014 campaign, totaling just eight homers in 126 games since after smacking 21 back then. The third baseman does have five runs and eight RBI in the last seven games, so he's swinging a hot bat at the moment.

Arenado went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Arenado struggled both at the plate and on the field during this game, and he recorded his first error of the campaign at the same time he whiffed three times. The third baseman has gone 0-for-12 over his last three games, so perhaps a day off would help him to clear his mind.

Segura was taken to the hospital following Tuesday's game after showing signs of a concussion after getting hit in the head by a pitch, MLB.com's Steve Gilbert reports.

This was certainly the fear when Arquimedes Caminero hit Segura in the head with a 96 mph fastball. Segura got up quickly and walked off under his own power, but it now sounds like he could be diagnosed with a concussion. Look for his status to be updated Wednesday. Nick Ahmed was also hit above the shoulders by a pitch from Caminero on Tuesday, so the D-Backs may be stretched thin up the middle in the short term.
