Giants manager Tony Vitello said after Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Athletics that X-rays on Arraez's right foot came back clean, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Arraez appears to have avoided a fracture after fouling a ball off his foot in his first at-bat of the night before exiting in the fifth inning, but Vitello acknowledged that the 29-year-old infielder is "a little sore." The Giants will re-examine Arraez when he reports to the ballpark Wednesday, but if he's still dealing with swelling on the foot, he'll likely be held out of the starting nine for at least one game.

Song went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

Song has swiped a bag in each of the first two games of this series versus Atlanta. He did so Monday coming off the bench, and he was able to contribute again Tuesday in a start at second base. The infielder is still scrapping for playing time since Fernando Tatis continues to bounce between right field and second base. In a part-time role this season, Song is batting .208 with a .545 OPS, six steals, six RBI, seven runs scored and two doubles over 60 plate appearances. He's still looking for his first big-league home run.

Castro went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Castro homered in his first plate appearance of the contest to tally his sixth long ball of the year. He's had strong production in June, racking up three homers, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored and one stolen base across 18 contests. Castro has benefited from 10 games at Coors Field and an additional three in Sacramento in that span, but he's still managed to take advantage of the positive-hitting environments.

Nunez went 1-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, one run scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 14-9 loss to the Phillies.

Nunez drove in two runs and stole a bag in the fourth inning before notching his fourth multi-steal effort of the season in the seventh. It continued a torrid June for the 25-year-old, who's hitting .407 for the month and is currently riding a nine-game hitting streak that includes six multi-hit contests. For the year, he's slashing .242/.325/.287 with seven extra-base hits (no home runs), 26 RBI, 31 runs scored and a major-league-leading 31 stolen bases across 258 plate appearances.

Sosa went 2-for-5 with home run, a double, five RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 14-9 win over the Nationals.

Sosa got an unexpected start when Kyle Schwarber (back) was a late scratch, and he matched a career high with five RBI in a back-and-forth affair. Despite playing sparingly in June, the 30-year-old has gone 11-for-36 with two homers, eight RBI and six runs scored across 12 games. For the year, he's slashing .238/.274/.413 with five home runs, 24 RBI, 17 runs scored and two steals across 45 plate appearances and has recently been getting some time in the outfield with Adolis Garcia (lat) done for the season.

Stott went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 14-9 win over the Nationals. He was also hit by a pitch.

Stott was a thorn in the Nationals' side all game, and he delivered what proved to be the game-winning three-run homer in the top of the ninth inning. While the long ball was the 28-year-old's first of the month, he's hit .304 with 13 RBI, 13 runs scored and five stolen bases through 20 June contests. For the year, he's slashing .241/.298/.403 with seven home runs, 39 RBI, 29 runs scored and 15 steals across 277 plate appearances.

Arraez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics with an apparent foot injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Arraez initially remained in the game after fouling a pitch off his right foot in the first inning, but he was eventually pulled in the fifth. His ability to remain in the game immediately after sustaining the injury is a promising sign, though the Giants may still give him a day or two off to recover.

McLain is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Brewers.

McLain served as the Reds' everyday shortstop while Elly De La Cruz was out, but De La Cruz is back to man the position Tuesday. Though he will likely see the bulk of reps at second base moving forward, McLain will cede the position to Edwin Arroyo on Tuesday.

McLain started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to Milwaukee.

McLain's started 17 of the last 19 games while operating as the primary fill-in for the injured Elly De La Cruz (hamstring), who is expected to be activated from the injured list Tuesday. De La Cruz's return should put an end to McLain's time as a regular presence in the starting nine. The offensive production he generated during the first week of his residency at shortstop (1.319 OPS over seven games) suggested McLain was moving past a season-opening slump, but he's slipped back since, going 5-for-33 (.152) with a .475 OPS and zero RBI over the last 11 contests.

Freeland is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

Freeland had started in 15 of the Dodgers' last 18 games, but he's likely to slip into more of a part-time role following the recent return of Tommy Edman, who returned from the 60-day injured list Tuesday. After starting in left field twice and at third base once over his first four games since being activated, Edman will cover Freeland's usual spot at the keystone Monday. Freeland hasn't helped his case for retaining steady playing time by producing a modest .218/.323/.309 slash line since being recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on May 27.
