Lowe is on the bench Tuesday versus the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe retreats to the bench with lefty Nestor Cortes on the mound for New York. Yu Chang is playing second base Tuesday, and Lowe will almost certainly re-enter the lineup Wednesday against right-hander Domingo German.

Haggerty went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Angels on Monday.

Haggerty's stolen base was part of a wild ninth-inning rally for the Mariners that the hot-hitting veteran ignited with a one-out single. Haggerty subsequently advanced on a wild throw to second by catcher Max Stassi and then swiped third base before escaping a rundown attempt to score Seattle's first run. The 28-year-old has been a constant thorn in the side of opposing pitching all season and boasts a .385/.433/.577 slash line across the 30 plate appearances covering his last eight games.

Kemp went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.

Kemp extended his on-base streak to nine straight starts with Monday's production. The veteran's steal was also a long time coming -- he'd last pulled off a successful pilfer July 1 -- and he's now just two swipes away from tying the career-high nine he recorded in 2018.

Dubon went 1-for-5 with a run scored Monday against the White Sox.

Dubon got the start at second base and led off with both Jeremy Pena (neck) and Jose Altuve out of the lineup. He led off the game with a single before coming around to score on a Yordan Alvarez sacrifice fly. Including Monday, Dubon has started only six of Houston's 13 games in August, collecting two hits across 20 at-bats.

Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Mariners on Monday.

Rengifo provided an early spark for the Angels, slugging a game-tying solo shot off Luis Castillo in the first inning. The long ball was his third in his past seven games after he failed to go deep in 28 straight contests from July 5 to Aug. 7. Rengifo is slashing .315/.341/.500 with six homers, 13 doubles, 23 RBI and four stolen bases over his past 45 games.

Semien went 2-for-4 with one homer, one RBI and one run scored in Monday's win over Oakland.

After going hitless in his previous nine at bats, Semien returned to form with a two-hit effort Monday, including a solo home run in the third inning. The home run is his 18th on the season and keeps him on track for his first career 20/20 season. (Semien has 19 steals.) The veteran second baseman is now slashing .238/.296/.406 over 114 games this season.

Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in a loss during Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against Detroit.

Gimenez knocked a two-run shot during Cleveland's three-run fourth inning. He went 4-for-8 with two home runs, a double and five RBI during Monday's doubleheader, improving his season slash line to an impressive .312/.377/.503 through 104 games. Since the start of August, Gimenez has gone 20-for-48 (.417) with seven steals, five extra-base hits and eight strikeouts through 13 games.

Polanco was removed from Monday's game against the Royals after banging his knee on a slide at the plate, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

This appeared to be a precautionary move by the Twins, though Polanco will likely be checked out by trainers Tuesday to determine his status for the second game of the series. Nick Gordon or Luis Arraez could get a look at the keystone if Polanco is unable to go Tuesday.

Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against Detroit.

Gimenez broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the seventh with his 13th homer of the 2022 campaign. He's now batting .431 in August with five RBI, eight runs scored and seven stolen bases (13 games).

Andrus isn't starting Monday against the Rangers.

Andrus started the last two games and went 2-for-8 with a double, a run and two strikeouts. Nick Allen will shift to shortstop while Jonah Bride starts at second base Monday.
