The Mets activated Guillorme (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The infielder returns after missing a month with a strained left hamstring. Javier Baez and Francisco Lindor's returns will restrict Guillorme to a bench role despite his impressive .293/.406/.345 slash line in 139 plate appearances this season. He takes the roster spot of Brandon Drury, whom the Mets optioned Tuesday.

Chavis was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow strain, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

Chavis will miss the first week of September, if not longer, after exiting Saturday's game with the elbow injury. The infielder had gotten off to a hot start with his new team, going 8-for-22 with a home run, two doubles and two RBI in six games. Hoy Park was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to share the playing time at second base with Cole Tucker and Wilmer Difo until Chavis returns.

Rojas is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Padres.

Rojas will sit for the second time in four games after walking and scoring a run in Monday's series opener. Andrew Young is set to start at second base and bat sixth.

Gimenez is not starting Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Gimenez has hit .259 with a pair of doubles in his last 10 games. Owen Miller will play second base and bat seventh Tuesday.

The White Sox recalled Mendick from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

The infielder had been optioned to the minors Thursday, but he now rejoins the White Sox to fill the roster spot of Lance Lynn (knee). Mendick figures to get sparse playing time as a backup option across Chicago's infield.

Kemp is not starting Tuesday against Detroit.

Kemp played hero in Sunday's win over the Yankees, belting a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning. He holds a hot bat, logging two hits in each of his last three games, but he will begin the series opener on the bench with lefty Tarik Skubal slated to start for the Tigers. Mark Canha remains in left field as Josh Harrison mans second base Tuesday.

Rodgers is not starting Tuesday against the Rangers.

The infielder is in the midst of a 2-for-17 funk, so he'll get a chance to reset as he sits against right-hander Jordan Lyles. Garrett Hampson is set to man the keystone and bat eighth.

Castro is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

The lefty-hitting Castro will take a seat with southpaw Cole Irvin on the hill for Oakland. Castro's platoon mate, Zack Short, will pick up the start at shortstop, but the former should continue to pick up the bulk of the work at the position until Niko Goodrum (groin) returns from the injured list.

Mayfield went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Monday's 8-7 win over the Yankees.

Mayfield flipped a 2-1 deficit into a 5-2 lead with one swing of the bat after taking Corey Kluber yard in the fourth inning for a grand slam. Mayfield has nine homers in 43 games since being recalled by the Angels on July 6 but is slashing just .227/.281/.496 with 14 extra-base hits, 21 RBI, 16 runs scored, a steal and 7:31 BB:K. The 30-year-old likely had the biggest hit of his career Monday but has struggled to find success at the plate overall with limited action in the league since 2019.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with two walks, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's 6-1 win over the Red Sox.

He set the tone for the game by launching a solo shot off Nick Pivetta in the first inning. Lowe continues to surge toward the finish line, slashing .321/.398/.716 over his last 21 games with 22 runs, 23 RBI and eight of his career-high 31 homers on the year.
