Mariners' Jean Segura: To play shortstop Saturday

Segura (hamstring) went 0-for-3 with a walk as the designated hitter at Double-A Arkansas and will play shortstop for the team Saturday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Segura's rehab is progressing as smoothly as it could thus far. The Mariners have an off-day Monday, so if Segura's games in the field over the weekend go well, it's feasible he could return for Tuesday's series opener against Detroit.
