Arroyo (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Arroyo departed Tuesday's 8-6 win with right hamstring tightness, so it's not overly surprising that he'll sit out for a day game after a night game. The Red Sox described Arroyo's removal from the contest as precautionary, and at this stage, he appears on track to avoid a stint on the injured list. If he quickly moves past the hamstring issue, Arroyo could step back into an everyday role in the middle infield after Yu Chang (wrist) landed on the IL on Tuesday and is expected to miss the next six weeks.

Massey went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Massey drove in a run in the fifth to extend the Royals' lead to 3-1. The 25-year-old now has three straight multi-hit games, but after that is still slashing just .188/.182/.203 with no homers, five RBI, four runs scored and a 0:23 BB:K over 66 plate appearances. The lack of plate discipline is certainly alarming, but perhaps Massey could be finding his way the at the dish with his recent hitting production.

Semien went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Reds.

Semien launched his fifth homer in the fifth inning. He's hit safely in 10 off the last 11 games, carrying a 1.217 OPS with four home runs, 15 RBI and 14 runs during that stretch.

Rengifo went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.

Rengifo got started with a single and a stolen base and would come around to score after the Angels tacked on four runs against Mason Miller in the opening frame. The 26-year-old is slashing just .203/.338/.266 with only two extra-base hits, seven RBI, 12 runs and an 11:16 BB:K over 77 plate appearances. Rengifo is known for being an aggressive hitter but is currently walking at a 14.7 percent clip, which would be the best mark of his career.

Dubon went 2-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Rays.

Dubon scored the first run in Tuesday's contest, doubling with one out in the fifth inning before coming around to score on a Jeremy Pena hit. Dubon would add his second double in the ninth before swiping third base, his second steal of the year. Dubon has hit safely in 18 consecutive games since going 0-for-3 on Opening Day. He's filled in admirably for Jose Altuve (thumb) at second base, slashing .329/.348/.424 with four RBI and 18 runs scored through 89 plate appearances.

Arroyo left Tuesday's game against the Orioles with right hamstring tightness as a precaution, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored before leaving.

The infielder has been replaced by Enmanuel Valdez at second base. Arroyo has dealt with a hamstring injury for the majority of the year, and Boston won't take any chances with the 27-year-old. He should be considered day-to-day.

Sosa is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Sosa has taken on a near-everyday role in the middle infield since Tim Anderson (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list April 11, but the 23-year-old hasn't done much to capitalize on the opportunity. After mustering just one hit in 18 at-bats over his last six games, Sosa will retreat to the bench Tuesday while Romy Gonzalez gets a turn at second base.

Torres is out of the lineup Tuesday in Minnesota, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Torres appears to be receiving a routine maintenance day. The Yankees will turn to Oswald Peraza to man second base while Torres takes a seat.

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

Lowe went 0-for-5 with five strikeouts Monday and is 0-for-13 with nine strikeouts in his last three games overall, so it's probably not a bad time for the Rays to give him a break. It's the first time this season that he's been on the bench versus a right-hander, as Luis Garcia is taking the hill for Houston. Taylor Walls will handle second base in Lowe's absence.

Hensley is in the designated hitter spot and batting eighth for the Astros on Tuesday in Tampa Bay, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

It will be Hensley at DH and Corey Julks in left field with Yordan Alvarez (neck) sidelined. Hensley has just seven hits in 45 at-bats so far this season for Houston.
