Castro went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's loss to the White Sox.

Castro recorded three hits for the second consecutive game, pushing his average to .308 for the season. Unfortunately, the seven hitters behind Castro recorded just three hits combined, so he wasn't able to come around to score at any point. The versatile 28-year-old is still hitting well and should play most days for a Detroit team that is desperate for offensive production.

Rengifo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

The 25-year-old is in the midst of a 2-for-25 slump and finds himself on the bench for the second consecutive game. Tyler Wade will man the keystone in Rengifo's place Tuesday.

Arroyo was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the A's due to an illness, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Arroyo was set to start in right field Tuesday, but the ailment has caused him to be unavailable. He should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status. Franchy Cordero will take Arroyo's spot in right field and bat ninth.

Hernandez (hip) could return from the injured list when first eligible Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Hernandez hit the injured list Wednesday with a strained right hip flexor, but his injury apparently isn't too serious. He'd posted a .789 OPS in his last 16 games before the injury, so the Red Sox will be excited to get him back.

Polanco (back) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Seattle, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The 28-year-old will be withheld from the lineup for the second consecutive game due to back soreness. Polanco should be considered day-to-day, and it remains to be seen whether or not he'll be available off the bench.

Espinal is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Orioles.

Espinal has quietly been very productive this season, especially lately, as he is hitting .380/.426/.640 with three home runs in 12 games this month. Cavan Biggio will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

Torres (illness) will start at second base and bat fifth in Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Torres missed Sunday's series finale with the Cubs while he was dealing with an upset stomach, but the Yankees didn't miss his services in their 18-4 trouncing of Chicago. With the benefit of sitting Sunday coupled with a team off day Monday, Torres should be back to full strength as the Yankees open a six-game week.

Brujan is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Brujan will give way to Isaac Paredes at the keystone after starting in each of the Rays' last six games while going 5-for-22 with a home run, a double, a stolen base and five RBI. Though the 24-year-old switch hitter is slowly starting to settle in at the plate, he's still maintaining a poor .157/.206/.236 slash line at the big-league level in 2022.

Dubon went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base Monday against the Rangers.

Dubon drew a start in center field with lefty Taylor Hearn on the mound. He did all of his damage in the second inning, when he singled in a run, stole second base and then came around to score. Dubon hasn't earned consistent playing time since joining the Astros, though he has started five out of eight games against left-handers with his new club. He hasn't done much to make the case for a larger role, as he's maintained a 59 wRC+ and .246 wOBA across 85 plate appearances on the season.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-3 win over Houston.

Semien singled three times Monday, producing his fifth multi-hit game this month. The veteran infielder's hot streak continues after his abysmal start to the season; over his last 17 games, Semien is 25-for-73 (.329) with seven steals and eight extra-base hits. He improved his season slash line to .226/.288/.351 through 264 plate appearances.
