The Orioles released Segura on Sunday.
Segura signed a minor-league deal with the Orioles on Aug. 9 but created little momentum for a September call-up, as he slashed just .137/.250/.196 with one stolen base across 60 plate appearances in 14 games for Triple-A Norfolk. After struggling in Norfolk and producing a lowly .556 OPS over 85 games in the majors with Miami in 2023, the 34-year-old infielder's time in the big leagues may have come and gone.

Orioles' Jean Segura: Inks minors deal with O's
Rotowire
Segura signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Segura hasn't played since he was cut by the Guardians last August, but he'll now get a chance with the Orioles as organizational depth at Triple-A Norfolk. The 34-year-old infielder slashed just .219/.277/.279 across 326 plate appearances last season, and at this stage of his career he's unlikely to make an impact if he gets brought up to the majors.

Jean Segura: Cut loose by Cleveland
Rotowire
The Guardians released Segura after acquiring him from the Marlins on Tuesday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
The 33-year-old and Kahlil Watson were sent to Cleveland in exchange for Josh Bell, but Segura will instead head straight to the open market. Segura has struggled at the plate with a .219/.277/.279 slash line in 326 plate appearances this season, but it's still somewhat of a surprise to see the Guardians let him go with well over $10 million left on his contract.

Guardians' Jean Segura: Headed to Cleveland
Rotowire
The Marlins traded Segura and Kahlil Watson on Tuesday in exchange for Josh Bell, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
The Marlins haven't quite received the production they were expecting from Segura when they signed him to a two-year deal in the offseason. He's slashing just .219/.277/.279 with 21 RBI through 326 plate appearances and will likely slot into a bench role.

Marlins' Jean Segura: Homers in return
Rotowire
Segura went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-1 rout of the Red Sox.
His fifth-inning blast over the Green Monster helped chase Garrett Whitlock from the game. Segura had missed the last 10 contests with a hamstring strain, but the time off seemed to do him some good -- Tuesday's homer was just his second of the season. Despite his encouraging return, the veteran infielder is slashing just .195/.262/.252 on the year in 230 plate appearances.

Marlins' Jean Segura: Makes return from IL
Rotowire
The Marlins reinstated Segura (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Miami optioned Garrett Hampson and Jacob Amaya to Triple-A Jacksonville to make room for the returns of two everyday players in Segura and Jazz Chisholm (toe), who was also brought back from the 10-day injured list. Before he was deactivated June 17 due to the left hamstring strain, Segura had been one of the majors' worst-performing regulars, as he mustered a lowly .190/.259/.234 slash line over 225 plate appearances. With the Marlins currently finding themselves atop the National League wild-card standings entering play Monday, Segura may not have a long leash on a spot in Miami's regular lineup if he continues to struggle at the plate in his return to action.

Marlins' Jean Segura: Finally goes yard
Rotowire
Segura went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the White Sox.
His ninth-inning blast off Kendall Graveman was huge for the Marlins in a comeback win, and it was also Segura's first long ball of 2023. Miami has stuck with the struggling veteran, but so far the team's patience hasn't been rewarded -- over his last 20 games, Segura is slashing a paltry .186/.250/.271.

Marlins' Jean Segura: Swipes third bag
Rotowire
Segura went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Nationals.
Hitting leadoff for the first time this season despite a weak .276 OBP, the veteran infielder drove in Xavier Edwards with a single in the third inning before stealing his third bag of the year. Segura's reached base safely in six straight games, which might help explain his elevation to the top of the order, but he's still batting only .233 (10-for-43) in May with zero homers, one stolen base, two RBI and three runs in 13 contests.

Marlins' Jean Segura: Sits in second straight
Rotowire
Segura remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Segura will take a seat for the second day in a row as the Marlins look to give the veteran a mental reset in what's been a brutal start to the season. Entering Wednesday, Segura is slashing an abysmal .186/.233/.212 in 121 plate appearances, with his .445 OPS a career-worst mark by 170 points. Jon Berti will pick up the start at third base, and he could soon displace Segura as an everyday option at the position if the latter can't get going sometime soon.
