Segura went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Friday's split-squad game against the Cardinals.
The Marlins have gotten a number of players back from the WBC in the last couple days, including Segura, and the veteran infielder quickly showed he hadn't lost any ground in his preparations during his time away from camp. Segura got the start at third base and hit leadoff, a spot in the batting order he might occupy when games begin to count as his on-base skills were a big reason why Miami signed him. The 33-year-old hasn't posted an OBP below .336 over a full season since 2015.

Marlins' Jean Segura: Set to play third base
Rotowire
Manager Skip Schumaker said Thursday the Marlins plan to play Segura at third base after the team signed him to a two-year, $17 million contract, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.
It's not a surprise the 32-year-old won't be at the keystone since Miami already has Jazz Chisholm, and Segura will end up at the hot corner rather than shortstop. Segura has played in just 24 games at third base during his 11-year career, all of which came in 2020 with the Phillies. The veteran infielder had a .277/.336/.387 slash line with 10 home runs and 13 stolen bases in 98 contests last season.

Marlins' Jean Segura: Joining Marlins
Rotowire
Segura signed a two-year, $17 million contract with the Marlins on Wednesday, Hector Gomez of Z101Digital.com reports.
Segura slashed .277/.336/.387 over 387 plate appearances in 2022 for Philadelphia, though most of his value lies with his glove. Segura has almost exclusively played second base the past two years; however, the presence of Jazz Chisholm will likely lead to Segura shifting over to shortstop or third base.

Phillies' Jean Segura: Smacks two hits in Game 5
Rotowire
Segura went 2-for-4 with an RBI during Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Astros in Game 5 of the World Series.
Segura recorded his first multi-hit performance of the World Series, and his RBI single in the eighth inning brought the Phillies to within one with the tying run on third. The 32-year-old is playing in his 11th season but only his first postseason. Even with his performance Thursday night, he is hitting just .226 across 53 at bats while knocking in seven runs. Segura will look to provide another spark at the bottom of the Phillies lineup in Game 6 against projected starter Framber Valdez -- he was 1-for-2 against Valdez in the Game 2 loss.

Phillies' Jean Segura: Possible waiver wire pickups
Rotowire
After missing all of June and July with a fractured right index finger, Segura was back in his usual second base spot Thursday, shifting rookie Bryson Stott to shortstop. The Phillies even released Didi Gregorius to ensure no playing-time disputes. Segura went 3 for 4 with a stolen base in his third game back Saturday and remains a quality option at a weak position as sort of a jack of all trades, master of none. If second base has been a struggle for you all year, you'll want to make a play right away. Normally, you wouldn't have a chance at someone this good so late in the year.

Phillies' Jean Segura: Back from injured list
Rotowire
Segura (finger) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list by the Phillies on Thursday. He'll man second base and bat seventh in the Phillies' series opener with the Nationals.
Segura has been sidelined the past two months after undergoing surgery for a fractured right index finger, but he's been cleared to rejoin the active roster after an eight-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 32-year-old should take over the everyday role at second base while Bryson Stott handles primary duties at shortstop. Segura had a .275/.324/.407 slash line with six homers, 19 RBI and eight stolen bases in 44 games prior to suffering the injury. Didi Gregorius was released by the Phillies in a corresponding move.
