Less than 24 hours after being hit in the head, D-backs second baseman Jean Segura and shortstop Nick Ahmed were both back in uniform for Wednesday night’s 5-4 loss to the Pirates and doing well.

With the Indians taking three of four from the White Sox — and beating Chris Sale and Jose Quintana on consecutive days — the AL Central is back to being almost anybody’s division to take, just as it was expected to be in Spring Training. Here’s a look at moves front offices could make to get an edge.

If this kind of thing was happening to a team other than the San Francisco Giants, we’d say it was magical. Actually, we’d say this is what a team does in a championship year. Things just fall a certain way.

Sparked by Nomar Mazara’s home run and big production from the lower half of the order, the Rangers outlasted the Angels, 15-9 on Wednesday afternoon. The Rangers have won five of their last six, including two of three from the Angels.

The Royals open a four-game set with the White Sox just two games back of Chicago in the AL Central.

Brandon Belt exited the Giants’ 4-3 win against the Padres on Wednesday after appearing to injure his left ankle while sliding into second base with the game tied at 3 in the eighth inning.

It only counted as one base hit, though.

Nomar Mazara’s solo shot to lead off the second inning Wednesday afternoon would have traveled a projected 491 feet, according to Statcast™, making it the longest home run in the Major Leagues this season.

Corey Kluber threw 7 1/3 strong innings on Wednesday in the Indians’ 4-3 victory against the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. The 2014 American League Cy Young Award winner was near top form as he struck out nine batters to help the Indians get their third win in four games against the White Sox.

Eduardo Nunez, Brian Dozier and Miguel Sano homered to help the Twins avoid a sweep at the hands of the Royals with a 7-5 victory in the series finale on Wednesday afternoon at Target Field.

Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was held out of the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for Wednesday night’s game against the Yankees with a tight right quad, but he is not expected to require a stint on the disabled list.

The Mets rode a dominant outing from left-hander Steven Matz to a 2-0 victory Wednesday afternoon to take two out of three games from the Nationals at Nationals Park. They leave Washington a half-game behind the Nats for first place in the National League East and with a measure of revenge after Washington came to New York last week and won two out of three games at Citi Field.

The Kansas City Royals are in a good place, and we’re not talking about third in the AL Central.

Let this be a warning.

Marlins right fielder Giancarlo Stanton was kept out of the lineup Wednesday at Tropicana Field with right side soreness.

Jake Arrieta wasn’t as cyborg-like as he has been in the past on Wednesday, but still moved to 9-0. He scattered seven hits over five innings and was charged with a season-high four runs, snapping his record run of 30 straight starts of three earned runs or fewer.

Here was the devil’s bargain Mets manager Terry Collins faced with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning Wednesday afternoon at Nationals Park. Reigning National League MVP Bryce Harper was at the plate, representing the tying run. Closer Jeurys Familia was ready to go in the bullpen. Collins, instead, stuck with rookie right-hander Steven Matz. This was a big game for the Mets, as games in May go. But some things matter more than one victory.
