Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL
Giants' Thairo Estrada: Back from IL
Estrada (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
As expected, Estrada will join the Giants in Colorado on Tuesday ahead of their three-game series with the Rockies, returning to the major-league roster following a minimum stay on the 10-day IL. The 27-year-old has produced a career-best .301 average while adding six homers, 17 RBI, 30 runs scored and 13 stolen bases over 193 at-bats in 47 contests with San Francisco this year. Estrada will replace Brett Wisely on the major-league roster after Wisely was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, and he should return to his regular role at the keystone.

Owen Miller 2B | CHC
Brewers' Owen Miller: On bench Tuesday
Miller is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Orioles.
Luis Urias will play second base and Abraham Toro will cover third versus the O's and right-hander Kyle Gibson. Miller has gone 5-for-21 (.238) with no extra-base hits so far in June, though he still owns a strong .824 OPS on the year.

Ji-Hwan Bae 2B | MIL
Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Out of lineup Tuesday
Bae is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.
Bae tallied his 18th stolen base of the season in Monday's series opener versus the A's, but he'll grab some pine Tuesday with Jack Suwinski starting in center field and Rodolfo Castro covering second base.

Ji-Hwan Bae 2B | MIL
Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Racking up stolen bases
Bae went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base Monday against the Athletics.
Bae continues to hold a consistent strong-side platoon role in the Pirates' lineup, as he's started in 14 of the team's last 15 games against right-handed pitchers. He's had standout lines in each of the team's last two games, tallying three hits in seven at-bats while scoring a run, driving in two and swiping three bases. Bae has a decent .329 on-base percentage, which has helped him tally 18 stolen bases on 23 attempts for the campaign.

Luis Arraez 2B | PHI
Marlins' Luis Arraez: Picks up three more hits
Arraez went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 9-6 victory over Kansas City.
Arraez is now 10-for-13 over his last three games and 15-for-27 (.556) in his previous seven, boosting his MLB-leading average to .399 -- 66 points higher than Toronto's Bo Bichette for second place. The 26-year-old is having a historic debut season in Miami, and despite slugging just one home run, he's maintained a .945 OPS thanks to his lofty batting average to go along with an 8.4 percent walk rate.

Mark Mathias 2B | CIN
Pirates' Mark Mathias: Scores twice, steals two bags
Mathias went 1-for-2 with two runs scored, two walks and two stolen bases in Monday's win over Oakland.
Mathias picked up his first MLB hit since May 7. He bumped his slash line up to .273/.385/.318 with five runs scored and an 8:9 BB:K through 52 plate appearances. He's appeared in two games since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Brice Turang 2B | MIL
Brewers' Brice Turang: Hits bench versus lefty
Turang is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.
The lefty-hitting Turang will hit the bench against Reds southpaw Andrew Abbott, but the young infielder previously sat out the series opener Friday, when the Brewers opposed a right-hander (Graham Ashcraft). Turang still appears to have a tentative hold on a regular role in the middle infield when the Brewers face right-handed pitching, but with Luis Urias (hamstring) returning from the injured list Monday and Willy Adames (concussion) likely on track to be activated Thursday, Turang and Andruw Monasterio will both soon see their playing time second base and shortstop take a major hit.

Luis Urias 2B | TOR
Brewers' Luis Urias: Makes return from IL
The Brewers activated Urias (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Monday.
The initial expectation was that Urias would be activated Tuesday when the Brewers began a homestand, but he has instead met up with the team in Cincinnati a day earlier for the series finale with the Reds. Urias has missed most of the season with a strained hamstring, but now that he's healthy again, he'll likely see steady time at either third base or second base.

Nolan Gorman 3B | STL
Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Not in Monday's lineup
Gorman is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
With left-hander Martin Perez taking the ball for the Rangers, Gorman will receive a day of rest. Brendan Donovan is at second base and Luken Baker is in the designated hitter spot.
