Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a two-run double, a walk and a pair of stolen bases in Saturday's 9-7 win over the Rangers.

Rengifo notched steals in the first and third innings after a fielder's choice and a walk, giving him a career-high five stolen bases this season. In the eighth, he added a go-ahead, two-run double to cap off the Angels' five-run rally that held up for the win. The infielder has enjoyed a terrific July, going 30-for-89 (.337) while being held hitless in only two of 23 games this month. The massive surge has his slash line up to .275/.321/.415 in 67 contests overall.

Haggerty left Saturday's game against Houston due to a cut on his forehead, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Haggerty was frustrated by his inability to get a bunt down in the ninth inning and spiked his helmet, which bounced back up and hit him in the face. Julio Rodriguez (wrist) and Dylan Moore (back) also left Saturday's game, which could leave the Mariners with a depleted outfield in the short term.

Miller was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays due to a right forearm contusion, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Miller was a late addition to Saturday's lineup after Josh Naylor (ankle) was scratched, but Miller was hit by a pitch in the top of the sixth inning and removed from the game in the top of the eighth. Prior to his departure, he went 1-for-2 with a run, an RBI and a strikeout. It's not yet clear whether Miller will be forced to miss additional time, but any potential absence will leave the Guardians depleted at first base.

Arroyo (groin) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Arroyo began a rehab assignment at Double-A Portland on Wednesday and went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a run, a stolen base and two walks over two games. He's starting at the keystone and batting seventh against the Brewers on Saturday and should serve as the primary second baseman while Trevor Story (hand) remains sidelined.

Andrus went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional runs in a win over the White Sox on Friday.

The veteran shortstop produced his second three-hit tally of the past four games and hit safely for the 10th time in the last 11 contests overall. Andrus boasts a .350/.395/.475 slash line over the latter span, and his current .240 season average qualifies as his highest figure since June 11.

Miller was added to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Miller was initially scheduled to get a day off Saturday, but he'll start a second consecutive game since Josh Naylor (ankle) was scratched from the lineup. Miller has hit .222 with a double, two runs and an RBI over his last five games.

Castro isn't starting Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Castro is getting a day off after he hit .281 with three doubles, three runs and three RBI over the last eight games. Kody Clemens will take over at first base and bat ninth.

Semien went 1-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the Angels.

Semien forced both of the Angels' errors in the contest. He opened the scoring in the sixth inning, hitting a double and then darting home on Jo Adell's error. In the ninth, Semien got aboard on a Luis Rengifo error and again came around to score as part of a five-run rally to pad the Rangers' lead. While Semien has gone just 4-for-30 (.133) in his last seven games, he remains a fixture in the lineup. He's slashing .236/.295/.392 with 18 steals in 20 attempts while adding 13 home runs, 46 RBI, 54 runs scored, 19 doubles and a pair of triples through 98 contests.

Gimenez went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Gimenez was plunked in the fourth inning and quickly took another base with his first steal since July 12. After posting three straight multi-hit efforts coming out of the All-Star break, the second baseman has cooled off, going 2-for-14 in his last five contests. He's still maintained an excellent .296/.360/.479 slash line with 11 home runs, eight steals, 45 RBI, 36 runs scored, 14 doubles and two triples through 87 contests. If he can't get out of his slump soon, he may receive a day off to reset.

Rengifo went 3-for-4 with a triple and a double in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Rangers.

Rengifo accounted for over half of the Angels' five hits in a rather meager performance for the team. He was a home run shy of a cycle, though he got the single in the ninth inning and never had a realistic chance at the feat. Through 244 plate appearances, the infielder is slashing .272/.317/.412 with five home runs, 18 RBI, 20 runs scored, three stolen bases, three triples and 11 doubles. This was a good bounce-back performance after his nine-game hitting streak ended Wednesday.
