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.

Torres (wrist/ankle) is starting Wednesday's game against Oakland.

Torres was targeting a Thursday return to the lineup, but he'll ultimately start at second base and bat fifth in Wednesday's matchup. The 25-year-old left Sunday's game against Houston due to a mild ankle sprain, but his absence over the last few days was mainly due to a sore wrist that he's been dealing with for several weeks. However, he received a cortisone shot Monday and is now back to good health.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double, a sacrifice fly and two additional runs in an 8-3 win over the Royals on Tuesday.

Semien had an excellent night at the plate and came just a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. His home run in the third inning off Jonathan Heasley pushed his total to eight, while the four runs he pushed across increased his RBI total to 32. Semien got off to a miserable start in his new Texas home this season, but he has put together a solid month of June that's included six home runs, a .270 average and six stolen bases. The proven veteran hitter appears to be finding a groove and could make a solid impact moving forward in line with his performances of years past.

Polanco went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in a 6-0 win over the Guardians during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Activated off the injured list following Tuesday's matinee, Polanco looked to be completely over his back woes in his first action since June 12. The 28-year-old connected on his eighth homer of the year, a two-run blast off Konnor Pilkington in the third inning that gave the Twins a 3-0 lead. Polanco had a .325/.413/.525 slash line through 11 games in June prior to landing on the IL.

Arauz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The lefty-hitting Arauz started at third base in each of the Orioles' last three games, going 3-for-12 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run. He'll take a seat Tuesday with southpaw Robbie Ray on the mound for Seattle, but Arauz looks as though he could occupy the large side of a platoon with Tyler Nevin at the hot corner until Ramon Urias (oblique) comes back from the injured list.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said Tuesday that Lowe (back) has resumed taking batting practice and is pain-free, but the 27-year-old is still going to need "some time" before he comes off the 10-day injured list, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe has been on the 10-day injured list since May 16 with a stress reaction in his lower back, and though he remains without a definitive target date for his return, the Rays' reluctance to move him to the 60-day IL suggests the expectation is that he'll be activated before mid-July. A clearer timeline could come into focus as Lowe ramps up his workouts and the Rays begin mapping out a rehab assignment for him.
