  • Luis Arraez 2B | PHI

    Twins' Luis Arraez: Resting in series finale

    Arraez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale with the Braves.

    Arraez will take a seat after his streak of three straight games with multiple hits came to an end with an 0-for-4 showing in Tuesday's 12-7 loss. The rookie is still batting an immaculate .348 across his first 186 big-league plate appearances and at this point appears to have displaced Jonathan Schoop as the Twins' primary second baseman. Schoop will draw the nod at the keystone in Wednesday's series finale in what will be just his second start in seven games.

  • Cavan Biggio RF | HOU

    Blue Jays' Cavan Biggio: Smacks 10th homer

    Biggio went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Rays.

    Bo Bichette's blistering start to his big-league career is attracting all the attention right now, but his fellow second-generation rookie was productive in his own right Tuesday. Biggio is now slashing .215/.344/.395 through his first 59 MLB games with 10 homers and a perfect 9-for-9 performance on the basepaths.

  • Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU

    Mets' Luis Guillorme: Smacks double in start

    Guillorme went 1-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's win over the Marlins.

    Getting the start at second base and hitting sixth, the 24-year-old banged out his first extra-base hit in the majors this season. It's not yet clear how the Mets will replace Robinson Cano (hamstring) at the keystone, but Guillorme's start came with Adeiny Hechavarria at shortstop to cover a rest day for Amed Rosario and Jeff McNeil going to right field, and Guillorme might need both guys stationed elsewhere on the diamond to see much future action.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Four hits in slugfest

    Albies went 4-for-6 with a triple, three runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 12-7 win over the Twins.

    The 22-year-old is now slashing .364/.404/.545 over his last 10 games with three steals, four RBI and nine runs. Albies is thriving in the two hole between Ronald Acuna and Freddie Freeman, giving Atlanta arguably the most dangerous top of the order in all of baseball -- the trio combined for 10 hits, nine runs, eight RBI, two homers and two steals in Tuesday's slugfest.

  • Blue Jays' Brandon Drury: Delivers three-run homer

    Drury went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 10-inning loss at Tampa Bay.

    Drury's three-run shot during the second inning helped the Blue Jays jump out to an early 6-0 lead, but starter Trent Thornton was unable to preserve it for long. Drury has looked much better since the All-Star break with a .266/.294/.516 slash line and five home runs in 18 games.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Battling core issue

    Torres was removed from Tuesday's game at Baltimore due to "core pain," Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

    Torres was pulled from the contest after striking out during the third inning, and it appears to be the same issue that sent him to the hospital Sunday night. According to Lindsey Adler of The Athletic, the 22-year-old will return to New York to undergo additional testing, so he'll be out of the lineup for at least a day or two.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Exits Tuesday's contest

    Torres was removed from Tuesday's game at Baltimore in the third inning, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

    Torres struck out during the top of the inning and did not retake the field for the bottom of the frame. The Yankees have yet to announce an official injury. The 22-year-old was taken to the hospital Sunday night with a core issue, though he remained in the lineup the past two days.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Making progress

    Lowe (shin) is making good progress and will field groundballs Tuesday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

    Lowe has been out of action for over a month with a bruised shin but finally appears to be closing in on a return. He's been fielding grounders in the last few days and finally feeling better after several weeks without any real progress. His target return date remains unclear.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Mets' Amed Rosario: Sitting Tuesday

    Rosario isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

    Rosario went 3-for-9 with a solo blast during Monday's doubleheader, earning himself a day off. Adeiny Hechivarria draws the start at shortstop and is set to hit seventh with Rosario out of the equation.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Leading off Tuesday

    McNeil (calf) is starting in right field and leading off Tuesday against the Marlins, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

    McNeil exited the second half of Monday's doubleheader with cramps in his right calf, but as expected, he'll be ready to roll for Tuesday's clash. He leads the Mets with a .337 average over 99 games this season.
