Torres was removed from Tuesday's game at Baltimore due to "core pain," Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Torres was pulled from the contest after striking out during the third inning, and it appears to be the same issue that sent him to the hospital Sunday night. According to Lindsey Adler of The Athletic, the 22-year-old will return to New York to undergo additional testing, so he'll be out of the lineup for at least a day or two.

Torres was removed from Tuesday's game at Baltimore in the third inning, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

Torres struck out during the top of the inning and did not retake the field for the bottom of the frame. The Yankees have yet to announce an official injury. The 22-year-old was taken to the hospital Sunday night with a core issue, though he remained in the lineup the past two days.

Lowe (shin) is making good progress and will field groundballs Tuesday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Lowe has been out of action for over a month with a bruised shin but finally appears to be closing in on a return. He's been fielding grounders in the last few days and finally feeling better after several weeks without any real progress. His target return date remains unclear.

Semien went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in the Athletics' 6-5 defeat to the Cubs on Monday.

Semien was the only member of the Oakland lineup who could solve Kyle Hendricks, as he launched a two-run blast in the third inning for his team's only hit of the day against the right-hander. He also added a solo shot in the eighth inning off Steve Cishek, giving him 19 long balls on the season. The 28-year-old shortstop is logging an excellent campaign at the dish, as he's now slashing .274/.362/.474 across 519 plate appearances.

Torres (abdomen) will bat cleanup as the designated hitter Monday against Baltimore.

Torres appeared to be nearly a lock to miss Monday's game after being hospitalized with an unspecified core issue Sunday. He'll miss at least one game in the field but is evidently doing well enough to hit, a very positive sign for a Yankees team that has been hit with far more than its fair share of injuries thus far this season.

Torres (abdomen) was discharged from the hospital late Sunday and traveled with the Yankees to Baltimore ahead of the team's series opener Monday versus the Orioles, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.

Torres became the latest victim of the Yankees' season-long injury epidemic in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Red Sox, exiting in the eighth inning with what manager Aaron Boone labeled as a "core issue." The Yankees immediately sent Torres to the hospital to undergo further testing, with the infielder's father, Eusebio, relaying via his personal Twitter account that his son checked out fine. While Torres may have avoided a significant injury, he'll likely be out of the lineup Monday and could be at risk of joining fellow everyday players Aaron Hicks (elbow), Luke Voit (abdomen), Gary Sanchez (groin), Edwin Encarnacion (wrist), Giancarlo Stanton (knee) and Miguel Andujar (shoulder) on the injured list. Expect the Yankees to provide an update on Torres' condition in the hours prior to Monday's contest.

Chavis went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.

Chavis singled in the third inning to break an 0-for-11 cold snap, then torched J.A. Happ for a 435-foot blast in the fifth inning. The rookie is slashing .259/.327/.460 with 18 homers and 57 RBI in 361 plate appearances this season.

Torres was taken to a local hospital due to a core issue after leaving Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

The extent of Torres' injury is not yet known, though it's not a great sign that he was sent to the hospital. He'll need to undergo further testing before the Yankees can determine whether he'll miss significant time.

Torres went 3-for-10 with two solo home runs, a double, and an additional run between both ends of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Red Sox.

After a hitless performance in the matinee game, Torres did all his damage on the day in the nightcap, with his 22nd and 23rd home runs of the season holding up as the difference in the Yankees' 6-4 victory. Though he's typically been deployed in the heart of the lineup lately, Torres will occupy the leadoff spot for the first time all season Sunday with DJ LeMahieu receiving a breather.

Arraez will bat second and start at second base Sunday against the Royals.

With Jonathan Schoop on the bench for the third time in four games, Arraez seems to have at least temporarily inched ahead of him on the depth chart at the keystone. The rookie has earned the everyday job after submitting an impressive .346/.420/.438 slash line through his first 174 plate appearances and has occasionally been rewarded with placements in the top half of the lineup as a result of his success. Arraez doesn't offer much power (two home runs) or speed (one stolen base), however, so he's mostly just a batting average, on-base percentage and runs play in fantasy leagues.
