Castro (wrist) went 0-for-2 with a strikeout and played three innings at second base in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.

Castro entered the game in the sixth inning as a pinch hitter in place of Kody Clemens in what was the former's first appearance since Saturday. Assuming Castro's right wrist didn't provide any complications in his cameo off the bench, he could re-enter the starting nine Wednesday.

McLain batted second and went 0-for-5 with a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Yankees.

McLain was moved up to second in the order the previous two games against right-handers and was used in that same spot against a lefty Tuesday. It appears a recent surge has locked him in as the second hitter against pitchers of either handedness. Prior to his promotion up the batting order, McLain had batted .327 with a .917 OPS over 16 contests.

Clemens went 1-for-1 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.

Clemens got the Twins on the board with a solo blast off Luis Castillo in the third inning. Clemens has picked up three consecutive starts at second base, and he could be in store for regular opportunities against right-handed pitching while the absence of Royce Lewis (hamstring) creates an opening in the infield.

Alexander was scratched from the lineup at Triple-A Reno on Tuesday and could be recalled ahead of the Diamondbacks' next game Wednesday against the White Sox, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Alexander's removal from the lineup came after news broke that utility infielder Idlemaro Vargas suffered a fractured foot, which will send him to the injured list. Vargas' injury leaves the Diamondbacks thin in the infield, as he was already replacing Eugenio Suarez (hand), who is expected to miss multiple days. Tim Tawa filled in at third base for Vargas in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the White Sox, but if he's called up, Alexander could get playing time at the position until Suarez is deemed ready to return to the field. Alexander owns a .284/.413/.479 line with eight home runs, 41 RBI, 11 steals and 41 runs over 54 games for Reno this season.

Tawa came off the bench in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the White Sox and went 0-for-3 with a run scored. Ildemaro Vargas (foot) was removed. Tawa went 0-for-3 with a run scored in a 4-1 win over the White Sox.

Ildemaro Vargas drew the start at third base in place of Eugenio Suarez (hand), but Tawa was needed off the bench for the second straight game to replace an injured teammate. After filling in for Josh Naylor (shoulder) at first base in Monday's 10-0 win, Tawa entered Tuesday as a replacement for Ildemaro Vargas, who fractured his right foot. Vargas is likely to go on the injured list, while Suarez is expected to miss multiple days as he continues to deal with significant hand swelling, per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com. In the interim, Tawa could be in line for a few starts at third base, but Arizona is also expected to recall infielder Blaze Alexander from Triple-A Reno to provide another option at the position.

Vargas (foot) left Rate Field in a walking boot Tuesday and will be placed on the 10-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

Vargas was hit by a pitch on his right foot and suffered a fractured fifth metatarsal. He started at third base in place of the injured Eugenio Suarez (foot) and was replaced by Tim Tawa. The Diamondbacks have not estimated a timeframe for Vargas' return, while Suarez had his hand in a wrap and will undergo an MRI once the swelling subsides, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports.

Koss went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Marlins.

Koss took Miami starter Cal Quantrill deep in the fifth inning to pull the Giants within a run. Koss has started three of the Giants' last five games, all against right-handed pitchers, but it's too soon to tell how the playing time will shake out at second base in the short term after Tyler Fitzgerald was demoted to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday. Koss is in the mix, but the right-handed hitter will be competing with the left-handed-hitting Brett Wisely until Matt Chapman's (hand) return shifts Casey Schmitt over to the keystone. Koss hasn't done much in his first year in the majors, slashing .224/.272/.303 with two homers, 11 RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base over his first 84 plate appearances.

Gonzales went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Tuesday against the Brewers.

Gonzales was the lone source of offense for Pittsburgh when he slugged a three-run home run in the sixth inning. After looking rusty in his return from the injured list in early June, he has at least one hit in five of his last six starts while tallying seven RBI with two home runs and four runs scored in that span.

Moore went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

All three of Moore's homers have come over the last five games, and this was also his first multi-hit effort in the majors. He initially tied the game at 1-1 with a solo shot in the eighth inning before adding a walk-off blast in the 10th. The 22-year-old is now batting .194 over 12 games, adding four extra-base hits, six RBI, five runs scored, no stolen bases and a 2:14 BB:K. Moore continues to play regularly at second base as the Angels see what their top hitting prospect can do against major-league pitchers.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

Marte opened up the scoring with a solo blast to right center in the first inning. He now has homered three times over the last five games and has 15 hits in his last 26 at-bats. Marte currently owns a 1.032 OPS, which would sit third in all of baseball among qualified hitters behind Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh.
