Lowe (knee) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Dodgers.

Lowe is back in the starting lineup for Pittsburgh after fouling a ball off his right knee during Saturday's game against Atlanta. The injury was deemed not serious, but Pittsburgh wanted to be cautious with its second baseman because it was the same knee that he fractured in September of 2023. Lowe will be back at second base and batting second.

The Red Sox optioned Seigler to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, reports Ian Browne of MLB.com.

Seigler's stint with the big-league club will be short-lived after he was called up June 3. The 26-year-old recorded just four plate appearances in two games for the Red Sox. Boston will activate Garrett Whitlock (knee) from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

The Padres recalled Wagner from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

He will take the roster spot vacated by Xander Bogaerts and might be around only while Bogaerts is on paternity leave. Wagner has put up a .762 OPS with three home runs and a 21:19 BB:K over 30 games this season for El Paso.

Clement went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Phillies.

The 30-year-old infielder took Cristopher Sanchez deep in the fifth inning, providing the last bit of offense in a 5-2 loss. Clement has two homers in the last three games and four multi-hit performances in the first seven games of June, boosting his slash line on the season to .309/.328/.473 with seven home runs, two steals, 26 RBI and 31 runs in 66 contests.

McLain started at shortstop and went 2-for-3 with a double in Monday's 6-2 loss to San Diego.

McLain has hit safely in five of six games in June, going 7-for-18 (.389) with two doubles, three home runs and five RBI during the month. This production has come out of nowhere; he was batting .196 at the end of May and was not in the starting lineup for three of four games prior to Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) landing on the injured list. McLain should continue to get regular run at shortstop with De La Cruz sidelined.

The Angels placed Frazier on the 10-day injured list Monday with right elbow inflammation.

It's unclear how long Frazier's elbow has been bothering him, but he hadn't seen any action since this past Friday. The veteran got off to a nice start at the plate this season but is just 3-for-29 since May 1 and has only 10 starts over that stretch.

The Angels placed Grissom on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left oblique strain.

Grissom's oblique issue had kept him out of action for the past three games, and he was unable to make enough improvement with the injury to avoid an IL stint. The Angels have not offered a timetable for Grissom's return, but oblique injuries typically result in multi-week absences.

Jackson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

Jackson had been handling a near-everyday role for the first two months of the season, but his playing time has dropped off considerably since Jackson Holliday was reinstated from the injured list May 18. The Orioles will keep Jackson on the bench for an eighth straight game Monday, marking by far the longest stretch he's been out of the lineup all season after he previously went no more than two games without a start.

Palacios is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

The Red Sox are sending left-hander Connelly Early to the hill in the series opener, so the left-handed-hitting Palacios will give way to platoon mate Ben Williamson at the keystone. Palacios had started in each of the Rays' previous seven games, batting .154 with a 5:4 BB:K, four runs and two RBI over that stretch.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 6-1 victory against Boston on Sunday.

Chisholm struck out in each of his first three plate appearances, but he made the most of the lone time he put the ball in play, smacking a three-run homer to right-center field in the eighth inning to turn a two-run lead into a five-run advantage. The veteran infielder didn't go deep until his 24th game of the campaign, but he's picked up the power pace since then, notching eight long balls across 38 contests since April 23. However, his season OPS still stands at a modest .703, which is well below his .813 mark during the regular season last year.
