McNeil is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

The Giants are sending southpaw Robbie Ray to the mound to start Tuesday, so the left-handed hitting McNeil will start the game on the bench. Zack Gelof is starting at second base and batting leadoff.

Mayer is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rockies due to a sore left foot, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Mayer fouled a pitch off of his left foot in a recent game, which has left him walking with a limp. As he rests up Tuesday, Anthony Seigler is starting at second base and batting ninth.

Gonzalez (shoulder/hip) said Tuesday that he expects to return from the injured list and make his season debut Saturday against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Gonzalez has been on the injured list all season as he works his way back from shoulder surgery, though he was pulled from his rehab game at Double-A Portland on Saturday due to soreness in his hip. His hip injury turned out to be minor, and he's now set to spend the next couple of days continuing his rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester before returning over the weekend. Once activated, he shouldn't have a problem working into Boston's lineup, though the team may slowly ease him back into regular action.

Clement is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros to manage his sore left hip, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Clement sat out of Friday's and Saturday's contests due to the injury before rejoining the lineup Monday and being scheduled to start Sunday, before that game was postponed. Manager John Schneider said he's "trying to get ahead of [the injury]" and provide the infielder some rest Tuesday since it's an afternoon game coming off a night game. Clement is still expected to be available off the bench while Luis Urias picks up a start at second base.

Bazzana went 1-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 6-5 loss to the White Sox.

Bazzana's third-inning single extended a hit streak to six games, during which he's gone 10-for-21 with five walks, five extra-base hits (three HR), seven RBI and eight runs scored. He also ignited a two-run, ninth-inning rally with a walk and a stolen base, his 12th steal in 48 games.

Jackson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-1 win over the Angels.

Jackson has been filling in at second base in the absence of Jackson Holliday (groin) over the last two games. The theft was Jackson's first since April 19 versus the Guardians. The utility man has done fairly well when called upon, batting .255 with a .682 OPS, seven home runs, 32 RBI, 22 runs scored, two steals and eight doubles over 195 plate appearances this season. Jackson could shift over to third base if Blaze Alexander (knee contusion) misses any time after exiting Monday's game early.

Holliday (groin) is feeling better and will go through pregame work ahead of Monday's game against the Angels, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

While Holliday is missing his second consecutive game, he will undergo pregame work with the rest of the team Monday as he begins to feel better. The 22-year-old will look to get back in the starting lineup Tuesday night against Angels starter Ryan Johnson.

Seigler will start at second base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Rockies.

Seigler will cover second base for the third game in a row and appears set to receive an extended look as an everyday player while after Isiah Kiner-Falefa (forearm) recently joined the likes of Trevor Story (sports hernia), Romy Gonzalez (shoulder/hip) and Nick Sogard (oblique) on the shelf. Over parts of two seasons in the big leagues between Milwaukee and Boston, Seigler has produced a .192/.286/.219 slash line with zero home runs and one stolen base across 85 plate appearances.

Gonzalez (shoulder/hip) will resume a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Worcester, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Gonzalez has been out all season following left shoulder surgery, and he had to have his rehab assignment paused over the weekend due to a sore left hip flexor. He is feeling well enough to return to action Tuesday, and Gonzalez could rejoin Boston's active roster before the end of June.

Holliday (groin) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Angels.

Holliday will miss a second straight start as he deals with groin tightness. He is considered day-to-day for the time being. Jeremiah Jackson will again cover second base in Holliday's stead.
