Hernandez (hamstring) remains out of the Red Sox' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Hernandez hasn't played since Saturday because of a left hamstring injury. He was able to participate in some pregame drills Monday and at this point, the hope is he can avoid the injured list. Pablo Reyes is handling shortstop duties again Tuesday.

Frazier went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Angels.

Frazier gave the Orioles a 2-1 lead with a two-run home run in the second, marking his fourth long ball of the season. He's hit safely in three straight appearances, but he's still slashing just .227/.324/.370 across 40 games (136 plate appearances). With Ramon Urias (hamstring) on the injured list, Frazier figures to get the bulk of starts at second base moving forward.

Semien went 3-for-5 in Monday's 12-0 loss to Atlanta.

Semien had three of the Rangers' 10 singles and extended his current hit streak to six games (9-for-25, .360). The second baseman is batting a career-high .297 through 41 games.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a walk in Monday's 5-2 win over Oakland.

Rojas extended a hit streak to five consecutive games following a brutal 4-for-35 (.114) stretch from April 23 to May 10. Hitting enough has never been a knock on Rojas, so his bat should keep in the lineup most days. It was his work in the field in 2022 that eventually cost him playing time, but Rojas has shown improvement this season with eight outs above average at third base. At this point, he remains on the strong side of a platoon at the hot corner.

Polanco went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer, an RBI, three runs scored and a steal in Monday's 9-8 loss against the Dodgers.

Polanco singled, stole second and came around to score in the second inning. Polanco has not taken advantage of the new rules, as he had not even attempted to steal a base prior to Monday. The second baseman homered in the fourth off Noah Syndergaard, as a part of his three-hit night. Polanco is having a good season at the plate with an .816 OPS.

Gorman went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs, five total RBI and a walk in Monday 18-1 victory versus the Brewers.

Gorman doubled in two runners to put St. Louis up 7-0 in the sixth inning, and he delivered a three-run homer to increase the lead to 12-1 in the eighth. He's now gone deep three times over his past five contests, batting .500 (7-for-14) with 10 RBI and six runs over that span. The hot stretch has boosted Gorman's slash line to .283/.379/.500 on the campaign, and he's added 10 homers, 33 RBI and three steals over 140 plate appearances.

Castro went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and one run scored in Monday's win over Cincinnati.

Castro knocked an RBI single and came around the score in the first inning. He then gave Colorado a lead with his two-run double in the seventh. Castro entered Monday with a .238 average this month and picked up his first multi-hit game since April 30. He's now slashing .254/.278/.313 with 12 RBI in 25 games.

Wisely is out of the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the Phillies, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Wisely will get a day of rest to open the series against the Phillies after going hitless in the three games against the Diamondbacks over eight at-bats. Casey Schmitt is starting at second base for the first time in his MLB career with Bryce Johnson hitting ninth and playing center field.

Lopez (appendicitis) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Lopez will likely need a handful of games or more to get back into game shape after missing close to two weeks with appendicitis. The infielder should be back with the Royals early next week if there are no setbacks in his rehab action.

Hoerner (hamstring) remains on track for activation when first eligible Friday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Hoerner went through more workouts on Monday, including baserunning drills, and came out of it feeling good. Barring a setback, it would appear he'll skip a rehab assignment and return in time for the Cubs' weekend series in Philadelphia.
