  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Hitless since return

    Lowe went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Tuesday against the Red Sox.

    Lowe was activated from the injured list Monday and made his second straight start at second base. He's gone hitless across seven plate appearances while striking out three times. Lowe has hit third and fourth in the two contests against right-handed pitching.

  • Luis Rengifo LF | SD

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Three RBI in loss

    Rengifo went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Astros.

    Rengifo got the Angels on the board quickly with a two-run blast off Christian Javier in the opening frame. He later plated a third run in the fourth on a base knock. He's now tallied at least one hit in 11 of his last 12 games, which includes 13 hits and a .371 average over his last eight games. He's regularly been hitting first or second since coming back from the injured list last week and is now slashing ,316/.366/.474 with three homers, 15 RBI, 16 runs and an 8:18 BB:K in 124 plate appearances.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Remains in game after injury

    India suffered a left shin injury during Tuesday's win over the Padres but remained in game, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. He went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored.

    India was hurt when he got tangled up with San Diego catcher Luis Campusano while scoring on a sacrifice fly to left. India was noticeably grabbing the shin and limped off the field but was able to finish the game. It is presumed he will be able to play Wednesday, but the Reds will likely wait to see how the shin responds overnight.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Walk-off hit in return

    Hoerner went 1-for-5 with one RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

    Hoerner had a relatively unimpressive return after missing over a week with a hamstring issue, but he made up for it with a one-out, walk-off single in the 10th inning. The infielder is slashing .267/.357/.385 with two home runs, 13 RBI, 25 runs scored and five stolen bases over 185 plate appearances. Hoerner's return will likely mean less playing time for Nick Madrigal moving forward, assuming Hoerner doesn't suffer a setback with his hamstring.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Stays hot Tuesday

    Keith went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Royals.

    While the Tigers struggled as a team, Keith continued to roll. The rookie is batting a robust .441 over his last 10 contests, and he's recorded three or more hits in a game three times already this month. Keith came into May batting just .154 but has pushed that figure to .230, and the 22-year-old has a prospect pedigree that suggests he'll be able to sustain this level of play.

  • Jorbit Vivas 2B | WAS

    Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Rehabbing at High-A

    The Yankees transferred Vivas' (undisclosed) rehab assignment Tuesday from Single-A Tampa to High-A Hudson Valley.

    Vivas remains on Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 7-day injured list with an unspecified injury, which has prevented him from playing with the affiliate since April 24. The infielder appears to be closing in on a return to the Triple-A club, however, after going 1-for-11 with three walks and a stolen base across his four rehab appearances with Tampa last week.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Returning to lineup Tuesday

    Hoerner (hamstring) will start at second base and bat sixth in Tuesday's game versus Atlanta.

    Hoerner hasn't played in more than a week due to a left hamstring injury, but he's finally feeling well enough to give it a go Tuesday. Dansby Swanson is also back from an injured-list stint, so the Cubs will have their middle-infield duo back together for the first time since May 7.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Bogaerts (shoulder) is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.

    It's no surprise, of course, after Bogaerts suffered a left shoulder injury in the first game of Monday's doubleheader in Atlanta. Initial testing indicated that Bogaerts avoided a dislocation and might not need a stint on the injured list, but he and the Padres are still awaiting the results of other tests. Luis Arraez will handle second base Tuesday and Donovan Solano will be the designated hitter.

  • Jorge Polanco DH | NYM

    Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Sitting again Tuesday

    Polanco (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Polanco hasn't taken the field since May 13, but he's close to returning after being available off the bench Monday. While it hasn't been confirmed he'll be available Tuesday, that should be the expectation considering his status Monday. Dylan Moore will draw a start at second base and bat ninth.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Idle again Tuesday

    Turang is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

    Turang isn't starting for a second straight game, with southpaw Trevor Rogers on the bump for Tuesday's contest. Instead, Andruw Monasterio will lead off and play second base.
