Frazier went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Reds.

The eighth-inning shot off Sean Doolittle was Frazier's first homer of the year. The 29-year-old extended his hitting streak to 12 games in the process, and he's batted a dazzling .340 (17-for-50) over that stretch, although he has only one steal, two RBI and six runs to show for it.

Manager Luis Rojas said McNeil (cramps) didn't pull a muscle and feels like he "dodged a bullet" Tuesday against the Orioles Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

The cramping began in the 29-year-old's legs before spreading to his back, but it shouldn't present any long-term issues. McNeil should be considered day-to-day and may not miss much time, if any, though his status for Wednesday's series finale is in doubt with a quick turnaround for the 12:10 ET start.

Marte (hamstring) hopes to begin a rehab assignment Thursday or Friday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

The 27-year-old has been on the shelf for over a month with the hamstring strain, so it's not much of a surprise he'll head to the minors to get back up to game speed before being activated. Marte could return sometime next week if he does begin the rehab stint Thursday or Friday.

McNeil exited Tuesday's game against the Orioles with "body cramps," Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 29-year-old started off 2-for-2 but pulled up while trying to stretch a single into a double during the fourth inning, and he promptly exited the contest. It's a vague initial diagnosis, so McNeil should be considered day-to-day until the team offers more specifics on the injury.

Haggerty is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The 26-year-old finds himself on the bench for the second straight game with Dylan Moore starting in left field Tuesday. Haggerty's role will take a hit later this week with top prospect Jarred Kelenic expected to be promoted Thursday.

Barretto will miss 10-to-12 months following Tommy John surgery, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Barreto was in the mix for a bench role this spring but was shut down with elbow inflammation. He'll now miss the entirety of this season and potentially the start of next year as well. This timeline means he's unlikely to be ready at the start of camp and may not be ready for the start of the regular season.

Arroyo (hand) isn't expected to spend more than the minimum 10 days on the injured list, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Arroyo left Wednesday's game against the Tigers with a bruised left hand and was placed on the injured list Sunday. He'll be eligible to return at the beginning of next week.

Hernandez (hamstring) is expected to return from the injured list when first eligible, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Hernandez left Thursday's game against the Tigers with right hamstring tightness and landed on the injured list the next day. He'll be able to return next Tuesday.

Arraez was activated off the seven-day concussion injured list Tuesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

Arraez will wind up missing the minimum seven days -- an unsurprising result, as his symptoms were reportedly gone by Friday. He's hit for his usual high average this season and has added a 14.0 percent walk rate, giving him a .291/.398/.372 line through 25 games. Nick Gordon was optioned in a corresponding move.

Lowe will sit against lefty Jordan Montgomery and the Yankees on Tuesday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Lowe isn't being strictly platooned but there are signs that his playing time against lefties may be slipping. He's now been on the bench against three of the last four southpaws the Rays have faced after sitting against just three of the first 10. Mike Brosseau will handle second base Tuesday.
