Hoerner (hamstring) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Hoerner is considered day-to-day after leaving Monday's series opener versus St. Louis because of a mild left hamstring strain. He said he expects to avoid the IL. Christopher Morel is playing second base Tuesday and Nick Madrigal will get a turn at leadoff. Patrick Wisdom is on the bench.

Lowe is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Orioles.

Lowe has been in quite the prolonged funk at the plate, going 5-for-52 with four extra-base hits, five RBI and four runs scored with 20 strikeouts over his last 13 games. He'll be replaced by Taylor Walls at second base, who will bat seventh against Baltimore.

Bae (ankle) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Bae will start at second base and bat ninth versus the Rockies and right-hander Connor Seabold after being limited by an ankle injury over the last handful of games. The 23-year-old has racked up 14 stolen bases on the year, though he's slashing just .239/.300/.326 across 101 plate appearances.

Caballero went 2-for-3 and recorded a stolen base in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.

The rookie's pair of singles extended his hitting streak to five games, while the stolen base was his third of the season and first since April 25. Caballero has quickly generated a .306 average and .350 on-base percentage over his first 40 big-league plate appearances following six-plus seasons in the minors, and although his current .423 BABIP is unsustainably high, he's played a big part in his good fortune by posting an elite 38.5 percent line-drive rate.

The Cardinals outrighted Motter to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Motter was recently removed from the Cardinals' 40-man roster for the second time this season but is electing to stick around in the organization as a utility man at the Triple-A level. The 33-year-old has hit .200 with a 36.4 percent strikeout rate over 22 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Semien went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

Semien broke up Logan Gilbert's bid for a perfect game with a single to lead off the seventh inning, igniting a two-run rally. It was the sixth consecutive game with a hit for Semien, who is 10-for-25 with three doubles, five RBI and four runs scored during the streak. Texas' leadoff hitter is tied for third in MLB with 29 runs scored.

Hensley went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Angels.

Hensley gave Houston its final lead in the fifth inning with a 412-foot solo shot. The long ball was his first of the campaign and second overall as a big-leaguer. Hensley was overdue for a positive performance, as he entered Monday with a .129/.229/.145 slash line and 35.7 percent strikeout rate on the season.

Torres went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a double in Monday's win over the Athletics.

Torres' solo shot in the sixth inning proved to be the go-ahead shot. It was his first home run since April 27; over his previous nine games since then, Torres was hitting just .189 (7-for-37). He's now slashing .250/.343/.444 with 13 extra-base hits and an 18:18 BB:K on the year.

Ibanez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and three runs scored in Monday's win over the Guardians.

Ibanez has been seeing more regular playing time lately, and he's responded with a .333 batting average and now his first home run of the season. The 30-year-old has been playing all over the diamond, with his Monday start coming at second base. Ibanez may not have a regular position quite yet, but he's carving out a role with the Tigers.

Hoerner left Monday's game against the Cardinals with left hamstring tightness, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports. He went 0-for-3 prior to departing the contest.

Hoerner suffered the injury when running from first to third on Dansby Swanson's fifth-inning double. He's likely headed for further evaluation to determine whether he'll require a trip to the injured list.
