Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Arroyo (groin) is "most likely" to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday at Double-A Portland, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

The Red Sox had hoped to get Arroyo out on assignment this past weekend, but the utility player was still feeling the groin during at-bats in a simulated game last Friday.

Garcia went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a triple in an 8-3 win against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Garcia tripled in the fourth inning, singled in the sixth and connected on a go-ahead two-run home run in the eighth for his fifth three-hit game of the season. The long ball snapped an 0-for-11 skid over the 22-year-old's last three games in addition to a 31-contest home run drought. Garcia is slashing .287/.295/.421 with three home runs, 15 runs and 17 RBI in 46 games.

Westburg was removed from Tuesday's game with Triple-A Norfolk after being hit by a pitch on the left foot, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Westburg has an .872 OPS since being promoted to Norfolk in early June, but he's now dealing with a potential foot injury. The 23-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Urias went 3-for-4 with a homer, two runs scored and two RBI in a 7-6 win Tuesday over Minnesota.

Urias singled and scored in the second, hit a solo shot in the third and walked it off with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. It was his first three-hit game of the season and he has now reached base safely in 11 of his last 12 contests. In July, he has posted a .279/.354/.456 line with three homers.

Altuve is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Oakland.

The 32-year-old started the first six games out of the All-Star break and will receive Tuesday off after posting an .815 OPS with two home runs, three RBI and five runs in that stretch. Aledmys Diaz will start at the keystone in Altuve's place.

The Orioles placed Arauz (finger) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

The sprained finger Arauz suffered Monday will keep him out at least until next Friday. Baltimore won't miss much offense in his absence, as he's managed just five hits with 12 strikeouts in 38 at-bats this season.

Rojas is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

Rojas will get a day off after he went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and three stolen bases in Monday's series opener. Sergio Alcantara will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh versus San Francisco.

Arraez is not in the lineup Tuesday in Milwaukee, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Arraez has gone 4-for-9 with a pair of runs and three RBI in two games after the break. He figures to re-enter the lineup Wednesday versus Corbin Burnes, if not Tuesday as a pinch hitter.

Andrus went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI singles and a run in a win over the Astros on Monday.

The veteran shortstop was one of the most productive hitters for the Athletics in the upset win, and he extended his hitting streak to eight games in the process. Andrus sports a stellar .297/.388/.473 slash line overall over his last 22 games, yet Monday marked only his second multi-hit effort over that extended sample.

Stott went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a two-run double in Monday's 6-4 win over Atlanta.

The five RBI were a new career-high total for the rookie, who had previously driven in three runs on two other occasions this season. Stott's two-out homer in the bottom of the eighth inning allowed the Phillies to take their first lead of the night and eventually put an end to a three-game losing streak. Though Stott is still under the Mendoza Line for the season (.196 average), he's slashing a more palatable .234/.312/.426 since the beginning of June.
