Jean Segura hit an RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the Philadelphia Phillies over the Atlanta Braves 3-2 in their season opener

Batting seventh on Opening Day Segura will start at second base and bat seventh Thursday against Atlanta, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Segura never hit lower than sixth in 2020, but he looks like he'll spend more time in a bottom-third spot in the lineup this season with the Phillies preparing Alec Bohm to bat in the heart of the order on a full-time basis. The lower assignment in the lineup shouldn't be too punitive for Segura, who should remain a solid source of batting average and stolen bases, though he doesn't run nearly as frequently as he did earlier in his career.

Labeled primary second baseman Phillies manager Joe Girardi said Wednesday that Segura will enter spring training as the team's primary second baseman, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Girardi's comments suggest that Segura likely won't have to battle for a full-time role, as the Phillies instead plan to have his presumed top challenger, Scott Kingery, vie for playing time at other positions. Segura ended up seeing most of his action at the keystone in 2020, but since he made 24 appearances (21 starts) at third base, he should have dual eligibility in most fantasy leagues entering 2021.

Drives in two runs Segura went 2-for-5 with one run and two RBI during Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Nationals.

Impact The 30-year-old didn't have any extra-base hits Wednesday, but he came through with a two-run single with the bases loaded during the eighth inning.

Swats seventh homer Segura went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 5-1 loss to the Nationals during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Impact He then went 1-for-3 with a walk in the nightcap. While Segura's .269 batting average and two steals through 50 games might seem disappointing, the 30-year-old's .357 OBP and .440 SLG would be his highest marks since 2016, and his seven homers, 23 RBI and 27 runs have provided solid fantasy value.

Back in action Segura (triceps) is back in the lineup as expected Saturday against Toronto, batting third and playing third base.

Impact Segura was struck by a pitch in the triceps Thursday against the Mets and didn't appear in Friday's contest, though the injury was never expected to keep him out too long. He's gone 6-for-6 in his last two games and will look to stay hot in this one.

Unlikely to play Friday Segura (triceps) is unlikely to be available for either of Friday's games against the Blue Jays, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

Impact Segura was drilled by a pitch Thursday evening against the Mets, and it appears the injury is significant enough to keep him out of Friday's doubleheader. With Scott Kingery (undisclosed) also banged up, there's a good chance Phil Gosselin will get a chance to fill in at second base.
