Espinal went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Rays.

The infielder capped the scoring on the night with a two-run blast off Ryan Yarbrough in the seventh inning, his sixth long ball of the year. Espinal snapped a 21-game homer drought with the performance, but he's been picking up the pace at the plate with four two-hit efforts in the last five games, boosting his slash line back up to .271/.323/.405.

Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home and two runs scored Thursday against the Twins.

Gimenez delivered a walk-off home run in the ninth inning to tally his ninth long ball of the season. It was only his second homer in his last 22 starts, though his .194 ISO is 40 points better than his career mark. Gimenez has also maintained a .308 batting average and chipped in six steals to deliver well-rounded production across 231 plate appearances this season.

Brujan went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 4-1 loss in Toronto.

Brujan singled and stole second base in the seventh. He is now 4-for-9 on stolen base attempts on the season. The 24-year-old continues to struggle at the plate and finished June with a .182/.247/.299 slash line in 85 plate appearances.

Haggerty, who was promoted from Triple-Tacoma earlier in the day, went 3-for-3 with an RBI double, a stolen base and two runs in a win over the Orioles on Wednesday.

Haggerty was a thorn in the side of Baltimore pitching all night long, initially reaching on a bunt single to third base in the second inning that also led to a run scoring due to a throwing error on the play. The 28-year-old utility asset had gone 1-for-8 over the last three games of his prior stint with the Mariners earlier in June, but Wednesday's production boosted his slash line back to .316/.381/.474 over a small sample of 21 plate appearances.

Polanco is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Guardians.

Polanco will receive a day off after he went 2-for-9 with a home run and three RBI in two consecutive starts following his return from a back injury. Luis Arraez will draw the start at second while Jose Miranda enters the lineup at first base, batting fifth.

Rengifo went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-1 victory against the White Sox.

Rengifo took Michael Kopech deep for a two-run shot in the sixth inning. The homer was his second in four games after he failed to go deep in his previous 21 contests in June. Rengifo is in the midst of his best stretch at the plate this season, slashing .318/.348/.568 with five doubles, two homers, four runs and four RBI over his past 12 games.

Rosario went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Twins.

Rosario is hot to end June, hitting safely in nine of his last 10 games. He's gone 18-for-40 (.450) in that span, though only four of those hits have gone for extra bases. The shortstop has raised his batting average from .265 to .293 in that span, and he's up to a .723 OPS after Wednesday's impressive performance. He's added nine steals in 11 attempts, two home runs, 22 RBI and 39 runs scored through 285 plate appearances.

Miller is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Miller is on the bench for the second game in a row, after he was excluded from the lineup for the second half of Tuesday's doubleheader. With Franmil Reyes back from the injured list and Oscar Gonzalez having taken hold of an everyday role in the outfield, Miller looks like he'll be playing on only a part-time basis versus right-handed pitching. Miller should still have a regular spot in the lineup versus lefties.

The Mariners recalled Haggerty from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

The addition of Haggerty, who has played second base, shortstop and all three outfield spots between the majors and minors this season, will give Seattle some more versatility off the bench. The Mariners optioned corner infielder Kevin Padlo to Triple-A to clear room on the active roster for Haggerty.

Rosario went 4-for-8 with two RBI and a run scored across both halves of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Twins.

Rosario went 3-for-4 in the afternoon game, which included the game-winning hit, a two-run single in the eighth inning. He was a little quieter in the nightcap. His four hits paced the team in the doubleheader, as all other Guardians hitters combined for six hits across the pair of contests. The shortstop is slashing .282/.314/.380 with two home runs, 21 RBI, 37 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 10 attempts across 65 games this season.
