Dubon isn't in the Astros' lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Dubon is just 4-for-21 (.190) across his last six games and will get a day off Tuesday to regroup. Corey Julks will take Dubon's place in left field and bat seventh.

Gorman is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Nationals.

Willson Contreras will take a DH day and Andrew Knizner will catch with left-hander MacKenzie Gore on the bump for Washington. Gorman was a force in the St. Louis lineup over the first two months of the season, but he's slashing just .063/.135/.125 in his last 52 plate appearances dating back to June 4.

Lowe (back) played catch at Tropicana Field pregame Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe wound up being shut down for a little less than two weeks of a projected 2-to-3 weeks shutdown period, which would seem to be a good sign. It will still take him awhile to ramp things back up, however, so a return before the end of the month would still appear unlikely.

Arraez went 5-for-5 with two RBI and one run scored in Monday's victory over the Blue Jays.

Arraez got the day off Sunday and returned to the lineup Monday with another stellar performance. It was his second five-hit game over his past three starts and third of the season. He remains on a historic pace to start 2023, slashing .400/.450/.490 over 67 games (282 plate appearances).

Kim went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in a 7-4 extra-inning loss to San Francisco on Monday.

Kim came through with a two-run single in the fourth inning and finished with his second three-hit performance of the campaign. The second baseman also swiped his 12th bag in the contest, giving him as many thefts in 68 games this season as he had in 150 contests last year. Kim has three multi-hit performance over his past five games and is batting .533 (8-for-15) over that stretch.

Urias is not in the starting lineup Monday against Arizona.

Urias will get a day off after he went 2-for-10 with two RBI and a run scored while starting all three games of the team's series with the Pirates. Brian Anderson will slot in at third base while Raimel Tapia draws the start in right field and bats sixth in the series opener with the Diamondbacks.

Bae will sit Monday versus the Cubs.

Bae will head to the bench as the Pirates square off with left-hander Drew Smyly on the mound Monday. Rodolfo Castro will take over at second base and bat sixth in the series opener with Chicago.

Rodriguez was recalled from Double-A Birmingham on Monday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Rodriguez got off to a slow start with Birmingham but has put together a robust .353/.384/.662 slash line with five home runs and four stolen bases over his last 16 contests. The 22-year-old is regarded as one of the White Sox's better prospects and possesses an intriguing skill set for fantasy with some pop and speed. However, there's no guarantee that he'll play regularly, so fantasy managers shouldn't be rushing out to grab him.

Lopez will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Tigers, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Lopez will stick in the lineup for the third straight game after he reached base five times in the final two contests of the Royals' series with the Angels over the weekend. While Mike Massey (hand) is on the injured list, Lopez could get the chance to re-establish himself as a lineup regular for Kansas City, though the newly recalled Samad Taylor will likely challenge Lopez for playing time.

Gonzalez was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with right shoulder inflammation, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Gonzalez has dealt with the injury for nearly a week and the White Sox finally decided to put him on the IL. He'll be eligible to return on June 28, although it's unclear at this time whether he will be ready by then. Zach Remillard is starting at second base Monday and the White Sox also called up Jose Rodriguez.
