Stott went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 15-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Stott added on to the Phillies' lead with a solo blast to right-center field to make it a 7-0 ballgame. He notched his third multi-hit effort over his last four games and is slashing .364/.429/.500 with five RBI, six runs and a 4:9 BB:K in 12 games since May 31. Stott has maintained a healthy average throughout the course of the season thus far but was replaced in the leadoff spot earlier this month by Kyle Schwarber, with manager Rob Thompson looking to spark the offense. Schwarber has picked things up lately, but Stott could be given another shot to lead off if Schwarber's struggles return.

Caballero went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk, three RBI and two steals in Tuesday's win over the Marlins.

Cabellero's big hit of the night came in the sixth when he swatted a bases-clearing triple to left to put the Mariners up 8-1. He also notched multiple steals for the second time this season and is up to nine steals thus far. The 26-year-old rookie has been sneaky good in 40 games since being called up. He's slashing .253/.407/.379 with two homers, 16 RBI, 16 runs and an 18:23 BB:K over 123 plate appearances.

Dubon went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Dubon got the Astros on the board in the fifth, leading off the inning with a solo blast to left. He now has two home runs in June after it took him 38 games to hit his first long ball of the year. Dubon has picked up a hit in nine of his last 11 games and is slashing .320/.327/.500 with five extra-base knocks, six RBI, seven runs and a 1:4 BB:K over that span. He's maintained a healthy average throughout the course of the season and still has been getting looks out of the leadoff spot despite the return of Jose Altuve.

Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a walk, three runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 11-3 win over the Pirates.

Hoerner stole his 15th base of the season in the contest, good for sixth in the National League. The swipe was just his third in 23 games since returning from a hamstring injury May 19. The 26-year-old is hitting .262 with just one extra-base hit in 11 games this month.

Villar was removed from the lineup by Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday in the fourth inning, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com.

Villar's removal is all but assuredly related to J.D. Davis (undisclosed) exiting with an injury against the Cardinals on Tuesday. The infielder would likely serve in a utility role if and when he receives a promotion come Wednesday.

Gimenez (leg) isn't starting Tuesday against the Padres.

Gimenez was removed from Sunday's contest due to left leg tightness, and the issue is apparently still severe enough to hold him out of Tuesday's game. Tyler Freeman will take Gimenez's spot at second base and bat sixth.

Marte is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.

Josh Rojas will cover second base and bat seventh versus the Phillies and right-hander Zack Wheeler. This looks to be a routine night off for Marte, who tallied three hits and three runs scored in the Diamondbacks' series-opening victory Monday.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Hernandez would play less shortstop going forward and primarily play at second base and in center field, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

After beginning the year with a .652 OPS through 243 plate appearances, Hernandez seems to have officially lost the primary shortstop gig to Pablo Reyes. Hernandez will now slip into a utility role while splitting reps with Christian Arroyo at second base and Adam Duvall in center field.

Clement was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Clement is 2-for-5 at the dish during his brief time in the majors this season. He'll provide depth along the infield for the Blue Jays.

Drury was suspended one game by Major League Baseball for making contact with an umpire during Monday's game versus the Rangers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Drury is appealing the suspension and is in the lineup Tuesday, playing first base and batting third. The 30-year-old has put up a .771 OPS with 10 home runs and 30 RBI over 61 contests for the Angels this season.
