Rojas went 0-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and three strikeouts in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Reds.

Rojas walked and stole second in the 11th inning. He represented the winning run, but Ketel Marte's groundout ended the inning. This was the first time all year Rojas has been held without a hit in consecutive games -- he's 0-for-9 against the Reds in this series. The 27-year-old's mini-slump has dropped his slash line to .263/.346/.415 with four home runs, four stolen bases, 16 RBI and 19 runs scored through 33 contests.

Mendick went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

The successful theft of third base against the battery of Will Vest and Tucker Barnhart was Mendick's first stolen base in the big leagues (145th game). Mendick has been a bright spot for the White Sox this month, hitting safely in 10 of 12 games, but his playing time could soon take a hit with Tim Anderson (groin) expected back next week.

Castro went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's loss to the White Sox.

Castro recorded three hits for the second consecutive game, pushing his average to .308 for the season. Unfortunately, the seven hitters behind Castro recorded just three hits combined, so he wasn't able to come around to score at any point. The versatile 28-year-old is still hitting well and should play most days for a Detroit team that is desperate for offensive production.

Rengifo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

The 25-year-old is in the midst of a 2-for-25 slump and finds himself on the bench for the second consecutive game. Tyler Wade will man the keystone in Rengifo's place Tuesday.

Arroyo was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the A's due to an illness, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Arroyo was set to start in right field Tuesday, but the ailment has caused him to be unavailable. He should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status. Franchy Cordero will take Arroyo's spot in right field and bat ninth.

Chavis is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Chavis started the past six games and will receive a contest off after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout during the matinee. Yu Chang will start at first base in Chavis' place in the nightcap.

Hernandez (hip) could return from the injured list when first eligible Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Hernandez hit the injured list Wednesday with a strained right hip flexor, but his injury apparently isn't too serious. He'd posted a .789 OPS in his last 16 games before the injury, so the Red Sox will be excited to get him back.

Polanco (back) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Seattle, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The 28-year-old will be withheld from the lineup for the second consecutive game due to back soreness. Polanco should be considered day-to-day, and it remains to be seen whether or not he'll be available off the bench.

Urias (hamstring) is starting at second base and hitting cleanup Tuesday against the Mets.

He has had a couple minor injuries recently, dealing with a thumb injury at the beginning of the month and then this hamstring issue that popped up Sunday. Urias hasn't had a multi-hit game since May 23 and is hitting .131 with three home runs over his last 17 games.

Espinal is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Orioles.

Espinal has quietly been very productive this season, especially lately, as he is hitting .380/.426/.640 with three home runs in 12 games this month. Cavan Biggio will start at the keystone and bat ninth.
