Jean Segura News
The Cleveland Guardians acquired infielder Jean Segura and infield prospect Kahlil Watson from the Miami Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for first baseman Josh Bell, according to sources. Segura's stay in Cleveland didn't last long, though, as The Athletic's Zack Meisel reported the Guardians are releasing Segura. He's owed the rest of his salary this year, $8.5 million for next year and a $2 million buyout for 2025. The 33-year-old has declined rapidly and was hitting just .219/.277/.279 with three homers, 21 RBI, six steals and 25 runs scored in 301 at-bats with the Fish this year. Watson, on the other hand, is a 20-year-old shortstop that was ranked by MLB Pipeline as Miami's No. 11 prospect. He has plenty of tools as a middle infielder, but he has plenty of developing still to do and is hitting just .210 (43-for-205) with nine homers, 24 RBI, 14 steals and 28 runs scored in 60 games for the Florida Complex League and High-A Beloit.
The Miami Marlins reinstated outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (toe) and infielder Jean Segura (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned infielders Garrett Hampson and Jacob Amaya to Triple-A Jacksonville in corresponding moves. The team also claimed right-hander Eli Villalobos off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates and assigned him to Double-A Pensacola. Chisholm has been out since mid-May due to turf toe that will require offseason surgery. Neither Chisholm nor Segura were producing much for fantasy managers before their injuries, but Chisholm has the much higher fantasy ceiling, as long he continues to run on the base paths. Chisholm will return to a .229/.291/.403 slash line with seven homers and 14 steals, while Segura returns to a weak .190/.259/.234 slash line with a homer and five stolen bases.
Miami Marlins third baseman Jean Segura (hamstring) participated in on-field running on Thursday, according to MLB.com. The veteran injured his hamstring last Wednesday before going on the shelf on Saturday. Segura is expected to return in early July, with the hope that it isn't a lingering issue. It's been an abysmal first year in Miami for the 33-year-old, who was slashing .190/.259/.234 with one home run, 16 runs, 11 RBI, and five stolen bases over 60 games. If he wasn't already, fantasy managers should drop Segura everywhere.

Miami Marlins infielder Jean Segura could be in for a quality fantasy season in his first year with the National League East club. The veteran, who spent the last four years with the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies, hit .277 with a .336 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, and 13 stolen bases in 387 plate appearances last year in his final season with the defending National League champions. The stolen bases were the most the infielder has collected since the 2018 season, and he could be in for more stolen bases in 2023 thanks to the introduction of larger bases. There's certainly the potential for Segura to reach the 20-stolen base mark, something he did for six consecutive seasons from 2013 to 2018. Elsewhere, with a batting average above .270 in seven of his last nine full Major League seasons, Segura has one of the better track records in the league where average is concerned. Combine that with the stolen base upside, and the 32-year-old's home run potential -; he's recorded double-digit home runs in each of the last five seasons -; and it gives him plenty of fantasy upside heading into the 2023 season.
