Polanco is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Guardians.

Polanco will receive a day off after he went 2-for-9 with a home run and three RBI in two consecutive starts following his return from a back injury. Luis Arraez will draw the start at second while Jose Miranda enters the lineup at first base, batting fifth.

Rengifo went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-1 victory against the White Sox.

Rengifo took Michael Kopech deep for a two-run shot in the sixth inning. The homer was his second in four games after he failed to go deep in his previous 21 contests in June. Rengifo is in the midst of his best stretch at the plate this season, slashing .318/.348/.568 with five doubles, two homers, four runs and four RBI over his past 12 games.

Rodgers went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers.

Rodgers knocked in three of Colorado's four runs in the contest, recording an RBI double in the fourth inning, a run-scoring single in the sixth and a solo homer in the eighth. This was the infielder's third straight multi-hit game, and he went 7-for-11 with five RBI in the series against Los Angeles. Rodgers' homer Wednesday was his seventh of the season but his first since June 5.

Drury went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a loss to the Cubs on Wednesday.

Drury's ninth-inning solo shot came with the Reds far out of contention for a win, but it at least gave fantasy managers who roster him something to smile about. The long ball was his 16th of the campaign, tying the career-best mark he established in more than twice as many games in 2016. Drury's breakout 2022 campaign also includes a solid .279/.337/.541 slash line and 40 RBI over 267 plate appearances.

Rosario went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Twins.

Rosario is hot to end June, hitting safely in nine of his last 10 games. He's gone 18-for-40 (.450) in that span, though only four of those hits have gone for extra bases. The shortstop has raised his batting average from .265 to .293 in that span, and he's up to a .723 OPS after Wednesday's impressive performance. He's added nine steals in 11 attempts, two home runs, 22 RBI and 39 runs scored through 285 plate appearances.

Urias went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 5-3 win against the Rays.

The 25-year-old launched a two-run shot during Tuesday's victory and went deep again during Wednesday's contest. Urias posted a .478 OPS across his first 19 games in June, but he's gone 6-for-14 with two home runs, a double, six RBI and three runs in his past four contests.

Gorman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins due to a sore left hand, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The lefty-hitting Gorman was on the bench for Tuesday's win while lefty Braxton Garrett was on the hill for Miami, but the hand injury explains why the rookie is out of the lineup Wednesday against a righty (Sandy Alcantara). According to Jones, Gorman initially picked up the injury in Monday's 9-0 loss, when he fouled a ball off the bottom of the hand. He was able to field grounders and take swings Wednesday, and with the benefit of a team off day Thursday, Gorman could be ready to play this weekend in Philadelphia. Brendan Donovan will replace Gorman at the keystone in Wednesday's series finale.

Miller is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Miller is on the bench for the second game in a row, after he was excluded from the lineup for the second half of Tuesday's doubleheader. With Franmil Reyes back from the injured list and Oscar Gonzalez having taken hold of an everyday role in the outfield, Miller looks like he'll be playing on only a part-time basis versus right-handed pitching. Miller should still have a regular spot in the lineup versus lefties.

The Mariners recalled Haggerty from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

The addition of Haggerty, who has played second base, shortstop and all three outfield spots between the majors and minors this season, will give Seattle some more versatility off the bench. The Mariners optioned corner infielder Kevin Padlo to Triple-A to clear room on the active roster for Haggerty.

Rosario went 4-for-8 with two RBI and a run scored across both halves of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Twins.

Rosario went 3-for-4 in the afternoon game, which included the game-winning hit, a two-run single in the eighth inning. He was a little quieter in the nightcap. His four hits paced the team in the doubleheader, as all other Guardians hitters combined for six hits across the pair of contests. The shortstop is slashing .282/.314/.380 with two home runs, 21 RBI, 37 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 10 attempts across 65 games this season.
