Biggio went 2-for-2 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's loss to the Orioles.

Biggio is now 4-for-6 with a pair of home runs in his last two games after going 1-for-12 in his previous six contests. The 28-year-old Biggio has primarily served in a utility role for Toronto this season, though he's seen his playing time tick up a bit with Brandon Belt (hamstring) on the IL. Through 109 plate appearances this year, Biggio is slashing .202/.275/.404 with six homers, 17 runs scored, 12 RBI and two steals.

Frazier went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's victory over Toronto.

Frazier got the Orioles started Tuesday with a two-run shot off Chris Bassitt in the second inning. The veteran second baseman now has two home runs over his last three games, giving him eight for the season -- just two shy of his career high. Frazier's now slashing .236/.300/.410 with 33 runs scored, 31 RBI and six steals through 235 plate appearances this season.

Short is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with Atlanta.

Andy Ibanez will step in at the keystone in place of Short, who went 5-for-19 with a double and five RBI while starting at second base in five of the Tigers' previous six games. Short will most likely be back in the lineup for the nightcap.

Caballero went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk, three RBI and two steals in Tuesday's win over the Marlins.

Cabellero's big hit of the night came in the sixth when he swatted a bases-clearing triple to left to put the Mariners up 8-1. He also notched multiple steals for the second time this season and is up to nine steals thus far. The 26-year-old rookie has been sneaky good in 40 games since being called up. He's slashing .253/.407/.379 with two homers, 16 RBI, 16 runs and an 18:23 BB:K over 123 plate appearances.

Dubon went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Dubon got the Astros on the board in the fifth, leading off the inning with a solo blast to left. He now has two home runs in June after it took him 38 games to hit his first long ball of the year. Dubon has picked up a hit in nine of his last 11 games and is slashing .320/.327/.500 with five extra-base knocks, six RBI, seven runs and a 1:4 BB:K over that span. He's maintained a healthy average throughout the course of the season and still has been getting looks out of the leadoff spot despite the return of Jose Altuve.

Gimenez (leg) isn't starting Tuesday against the Padres.

Gimenez was removed from Sunday's contest due to left leg tightness, and the issue is apparently still severe enough to hold him out of Tuesday's game. Tyler Freeman will take Gimenez's spot at second base and bat sixth.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Hernandez would play less shortstop going forward and primarily play at second base and in center field, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

After beginning the year with a .652 OPS through 243 plate appearances, Hernandez seems to have officially lost the primary shortstop gig to Pablo Reyes. Hernandez will now slip into a utility role while splitting reps with Christian Arroyo at second base and Adam Duvall in center field.

Clement was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Clement is 2-for-5 at the dish during his brief time in the majors this season. He'll provide depth along the infield for the Blue Jays.

Drury was suspended one game by Major League Baseball for making contact with an umpire during Monday's game versus the Rangers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Drury is appealing the suspension and is in the lineup Tuesday, playing first base and batting third. The 30-year-old has put up a .771 OPS with 10 home runs and 30 RBI over 61 contests for the Angels this season.

Massey isn't starting Tuesday against the Reds, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Southpaw Brandon Williamson will take the mound for Cincinnati to begin Tuesday's contest, meaning the left-handed bat of Massey will start off in the dugout. Matt Duffy will take over at second base and bat seventh.
