Miranda is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Royals.

Miranda started each of the last three days at third base after coming up to take Royce Lewis' (oblique) roster spot but went hitless in each game. He'll now take a seat for this one in favor of Donovan Solano.

Segura went 2-for-3 with two walks, a run scored and a steal in Tuesday's victory over St. Louis.

Segura now has hits in six out of seven games since returning from the IL. He's gone 8-for-26 (.308) with a home run in that span. The 33-year-old Segura is slashing .203/.273/.255 with two homers, 20 runs scored, 14 RBI and six stolen bases across 254 plate appearances this season.

Senzel started in right field and went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-4 win over Washington.

Senzel, making his first start since June 26 in Baltimore, gave the Reds a 5-0 lead in the third inning with his sixth home run of the season. He's been lost in the shuffle as an influx of young prospects pushed him to the bench. In addition to the competition, Senzel's playing time took a hit due to an unproductive bat. He batted just .143 (6-for-42) with two RBI and a .448 OPS for the month of June.

Jung batted third and went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Boston.

Jung and Nathaniel Lowe were switched in the batting order, and the rookie third baseman produced a second straight multi-hit game. He has hits in seven of the last eight games, going 10-for-32 with two doubles, two home runs and seven RBI during that stretch. Manager Bruce Bochy has toyed around with Jung hitting third -- Tuesday was the fourth time in the last 15 games -- but the manager hasn't made it a permanent fixture.

Machado went 3-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's victory over the Angels.

Machado delivered his third multi-hit effort in his past four contests, and it's also his sixth three-hit game of the season. The 31-year-old largely hasn't looked himself at the plate this year with a .254/.296/.414 slash line, though he's performed better over his past 27 games with a .301 average, six homers, 19 RBI and 18 runs.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

Freeman has hit safely in just four of his last 11 games, with each of those instances being multi-hit efforts. He's stuck behind Jose Ramirez, Amed Rosario and Andres Gimenez for playing time in Cleveland's infield, but Freeman has made the most of his recent chances. For the season, he's batting .290 with a .715 OPS, four RBI, two steals, 10 runs scored, six doubles and no home runs over 68 plate appearances.

Rendon was pulled from Tuesday's game against San Diego with a left shin contusion.

X-rays came back negative after Rendon fouled a ball off his left leg. While it appears he avoided serious injury, a stint on the injured list isn't completely out of the question. Eduardo Escobar figures to see an uptick in playing time should Rendon sit out.

Rendon was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres after fouling a ball off his left knee, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon immediately collapsed to the ground after fouling a ball off his knee and appeared to be in a great deal of pain. He had to be helped off the field by trainers and was replaced by Eduardo Escobar. More information regarding Rendon's injury will be available in the near future, but early signs aren't reassuring.

White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said Tuesday that Moncada (back) could begin a rehab assignment after the All-Star break, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Hahn's statement seemingly rules out the possibility of Moncada returning before the All-Star break, and it appears he might not be available immediately afterwards either. The 28-year-old third baseman has been on the injured list since June 15 due to a lingering back issue and is slashing .232/.279/.370 on the season.

Longoria is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets.

Longoria caught fire toward the end of June while taking over as the Diamondbacks' primary third baseman, but he'll grab some rest Tuesday as Emmanuel Rivera gets a turn at the hot corner.
