Polanco left Sunday's game against the Nationals due to right hamstring tightness.

It's unclear when Polanco sustained the injury, but Josh Rojas came in at third base in the bottom of the sixth inning while Dylan Moore shifted to second base. Polanco missed seven games in May due to a right hamstring issue, and he is set to have an MRI on Monday, per Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM. Before leaving Sunday's game, Polanco went 1-for-2 with an RBI on an infielder's choice in the second inning.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe will get a maintenance day in the series finale after going 1-for-16 at the plate while starting in five games since being reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday. Amed Rosario will spell him at second base.

Frazier will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Rays.

Frazier will draw a second straight start at the keystone and looks poised to see most of the starts at the position after the Royals placed Michael Massey (back) on the 10-day injured list Sunday. The Royals will likely turn to Garrett Hampson or Nick Loftin at second base over the lefty-hitting Frazier when Kansas City opposes left-handed starters.

The Royals recalled Loftin from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

He'll take the 26-man active roster spot of infielder Michael Massey (back), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Between the majors and Triple-A level, Loftin has seen time at four different defensive spots (first base, second base third base and left field), so he'll provide Kansas City with some versatility off the bench while he's up with the big club. Most of his starts will likely come versus left-handed pitching.

Remillard will start at shortstop and bat eighth for Sunday's series finale against Baltimore.

Remillard will get the start Sunday while Paul DeJong rests. Since returning to the majors May 8, Remillard has gone 6-for-20 with one RBI and five walks.

The Royals placed Massey on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a low back ligament sprain.

The transaction is retroactive to Saturday, so he'll be eligible to rejoin the 26-man active roster beginning June 4. Kansas City called up infielder Nick Loftin from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move, but Adam Frazier will pick up his second straight start at the keystone Sunday and should serve as the Royals' primary second baseman while Massey is on the mend from the injury.

Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

The lefty-hitting Keith will take a seat for the series finale while southpaw Yusei Kikuchi takes the hill for Toronto. Andy Ibanez will fill in for Keith at the keystone.

Frazier went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-4 extra-innings win over the Rays.

Frazier's playing time has been inconsistent in May, but a spot opened up for him with Michael Massey (back) unavailable Saturday. Frazier has gone 9-for-36 (.250) over 11 contests this month, adding three extra-base hits and a 3:6 BB:K. He's at a .208/.310/.277 slash line with one home run, two steals, nine RBI and 11 runs scored over 116 plate appearances this season. Massey dealt with back issues earlier in the campaign, so there's a path for Frazier to regain a regular role if his teammate requires a stint on the injured list. Garrett Hampson could also see more time at second base, though Frazier would have the platoon advantage.

Grissom isn't in the Red Sox's lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Grissom has gone just 1-for-18 across his last five contests, so he'll sit out Saturday in order to regroup. David Hamilton and Ceddanne Rafaela will make up Boston's middle infield while Grissom is on the bench.

Frazier is starting at second base and batting sixth against the Rays on Saturday.

Frazier will get his first start at second base since May 18 against the Athletics. With Michael Massey dealing with lower-back tightness, Frazier could see some more time at second base in the immediate future. Frazier has gone 6-for-31 with one home run and three RBI in May.
