Haggerty went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

Make it three steals through six games for Haggerty. He also has a homer, three RBI and three runs scored. "He can do a lot of things on the field," manager Scott Servais told Lauren Smith of The News Tribune. "I'm excited with how he's swinging the bat. That was the report coming out of the Tacoma -- these quality at-bats, they were there." A 24th-round pick in 2015, Haggerty was traded from Cleveland to the Mets in January of 2019 before the Mets ultimately DFA'd him. Haggerty stole 49 bases at the High-A level in 2017 and clearly has a fan in Servais, as Haggerty has been anchored in the two hole and playing left field every day since his callup.

Kemp went 1-for-2 with three runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Rangers. He was also hit by a pitch.

Kemp scored all three times he got on base, making a noticeable contribution to the Athletics' big win. He's hit safely in four straight games, going 4-for-14 (2.86) in that span. The second baseman is slashing .250/.384/.283 with one RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases across 74 plate appearances.

Semien went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a double in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Rangers.

Semien swatted his fifth homer of the year in the fifth inning, accounting for what would be the winning run. In the seventh, the shortstop got aboard on a fielder's choice and later scored on Stephen Piscotty three-run double. Semien has back-to-back three-hit games, raising his batting average to .233 across 143 plate appearances. He's added 12 RBI, 18 runs scored and three stolen bases in 31 games this year.

Semien went 3-for-4 with three singles and a walk in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

After an outstanding 2019 in which he hit .285/.369/.522 with 33 home runs, Semien has struggled a bit in the first half of the shortened 2020 campaign. He will hope that his three singles Monday can get him going on the right track after hitting just .219/.275/.352 through the first 30 games. Despite his struggles, Semien appears to still have a stranglehold on everyday leadoff duties atop the Oakland lineup.

Biggio went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Rays.

Biggio provided Toronto with an insurance run in the top of the ninth inning, coming through with an RBI double to right field. He's now reached base safely in 17 straight games, batting .350 with 11 extra-base hits and 11 RBI over that stretch.

The Yankees placed Torres (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Torres' move to the IL was a forgone conclusion after manager Aaron Boone told Bryan Hoch of MLB.com on Saturday that the shortstop would be sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks, but the Yankees waited a few days to make the transaction official after the team had its weekend series versus the Mets postponed. Boone said that Tyler Wade will serve as the Yankees' primary shortstop until Torres is deemed ready to return from the IL.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Estrada will serve as the team's primary second baseman while DJ LeMahieu (thumb) is on the 10-day injured list, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

The Yankees are breaking in two new starters in the middle infield, as Boone noted that Tyler Wade will step in as the main option at shortstop while Gleyber Torres (hamstring) is sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks. While the prospect of a full-time role increases Estrada's fantasy appeal, his lack of power and so-so hit tool render him a fairly low-upside option, making him best suited for AL-only or deeper mixed leagues.

Haggerty went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

Haggerty provided the Mariners with a little insurance when he went deep for his first career major-league homer in the fifth inning. He's hit safely in all five games he's appeared in this year, batting .300 with a homer, three RBI, three runs scored and two steals across 21 plate appearances. As long as Haggerty hits well, he's likely to stay near the top of the batting order.

Arroyo cleared waivers and was outrighted to Boston's alternate camp in Pawtucket, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Arroyo spent just one day on the 28-man roster prior to being designated for assignment by the Red Sox, but he'll head to the alternate training site after clearing waivers. The 25-year-old hit .229 with seven RBI and 18 strikeouts over 50 at-bats with the Rays last year.

Haggerty will start in left field and will bat second Sunday against the Rangers.

Haggerty will be making his fifth straight start in left field after going 5-for-17 with two doubles, two stolen bases, two runs and an RBI through his first four games with Seattle. With Dylan Moore (wrist) recently moving to the injured list and Dee Gordon sitting on a .352 OPS for the season, Haggerty should continue to get a look in a full-time role so long as he keeps churning out quality plate appearances.
