Gimenez went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in a 6-5 win over the Twins on Tuesday.

Gimenez has quietly been putting together a quality campaign in Cleveland this year. His two-hit game to lifted his average to .305 and the stolen base gives him five on the season. Gimenez stole 11 bases in as many attempts over 210 plate appearances in 2021, so he has the potential to find another gear and pick up the pace in that category, especially considering his sprint speed is currently in the 94th percentile according to Baseball Savant.

Arraez went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in a 6-5 loss to the Guardians on Tuesday.

Arraez continued his impressive 2022 campaign with two hits, including the timely blast in the seventh. The occasional home run is a nice bonus from a contact hitter batting .362 and getting on base at an elite .442 clip. Arraez has found a home at the top of the Twins lineup against right-handed pitching and boasts a 162 WRC+.

Marte (hamstring) went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in Tuesday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to the Padres.

Marte didn't get on base until the 11th inning, and he was promptly lifted for a pinch runner (pitcher Luke Weaver). Marte missed four games before serving as the designated hitter Tuesday, and he may need to stick in that role for a little longer before returning to his regular position at second base. He's now batting .264 on the year after Tuesday's lackluster performance at the dish.

India went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk during Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Dodgers.

India went 3-for-22 in his first five games since being activated off the injured list last week, and he finally went deep Tuesday for the first time in 2022. The 25-year-old has spent most of the season sidelined by the hamstring injury and has played in only 17 games, and he's mostly struggled when available with a .246/.288/.333 slash line.

Polanco (back) is unlikely to return from the injured list when eligible Thursday, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. "It could be longer than 10 days. I think it's just fair to leave it at that," said manager Rocco Baldelli.

Polanco has not started full baseball activities, so he could be out awhile since he'll likely need a rehab assignment before returning. Polanco underwent an MRI, which didn't show any major concerns, but it's not a good sign that he's not fully working out yet.

Gorman went 4-for-4 with two homers and four RBI in a 6-2 win Tuesday in Milwaukee.

Gorman drove in a run on a single in the first, blasted solo shots in the fourth and the seventh and ended his night with a run-scoring single in the ninth. It was his first two-homer game as a big leaguer and the second time he recorded four hits. The 22-year-old slugger has 21 homers in 250 plate appearances combined between Triple-A and the majors.

Altuve went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Mets.

Altuve started the scoring with a third-inning solo shot. He'd gone six games without an RBI and five contests without an extra-base hit prior to Tuesday's homer to the Crawford Boxes. The second baseman is up to 13 homers, 24 RBI, 34 runs scored and three stolen bases while slashing .273/.346/.517 across 228 plate appearances.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-0 win over Philadelphia.

Semien singled in the first, doubled and scored in the sixth and capped off his evening with a two-run homer. The 31-year-old's early-season troubles are no more as he's hitting .316/.391/.531 over his last 110 plate appearances. Additionally, his 16:12 K:BB during that span represents a significant improvement in plate discipline over the first month and a half of the season.

Hernandez (hip) will return later than previously expected due to a potential setback, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Hernandez looked to be nearly ready to return from a strained right hip and was due to begin a rehab assignment soon, but the Red Sox appear to have changed their plans. More details on the severity of his setback should emerge after further tests.

Double-A Altoona transferred Gonzales (heel) from the 7-day injured list to the 60-day iL on Tuesday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

When he was first placed on the IL on June 1, Gonzales was considered day-to-day with heel soreness, but the injury was evidently more serious than the Pirates initially believed. The 2020 first-round pick now looks like he'll be sidelined through the end of July, which is another blow to what had already been a somewhat down season for the 23-year-old. Prior to getting hurt, Gonzales was producing slightly better than the league-average player (113 wRC+, .341 wOBA) and had struck out in 32.8 percent of his plate appearances.
