Stott isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

It appears to be a regular day off for Stott, who's posted an impressive .319/.347/.464 slash line in 18 games this month. Edmundo Sosa is starting at shortstop Tuesday.

Altuve (shoulder) is starting at second base and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Twins, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Altuve will be back in the lineup after he missed Sunday's victory over Atlanta while nursing a sore shoulder. After a hot stretch from late July to early August, the second baseman has batted just .188 with one home run, six RBI, seven runs and three stolen bases over 48 at-bats in his last 14 games.

Lowe will sit Tuesday against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe will be on the bench Tuesday as the Rays face left-hander Jose Suarez on the mound. Yu Chang will draw the start at second base and bat seventh versus Los Angeles.

Estrada isn't starting Tuesday's game in Detroit, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Wilmer Flores will play second base while Estrada, with his .647 OPS in his last 10 games, takes a seat.

Short is starting at second base and batting ninth Tuesday against the Giants.

After being recalled Tuesday, Short will draw the start at second base in place of Jonathan Schoop (ankle), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Short will be in the Tigers' starting lineup for the second time this season.

Andrus went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Monday against the Royals.

Andrus drove in a pair of runs on a single in the fourth inning and followed that up with an RBI double in the seventh frame. He has started all three games since joining the White Sox, collecting three hits in 12 at-bats. With Tim Anderson (hand) out until at least late September, Andrus should have a clear path to playing time.

Short was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Short will return to the big leagues after being sent down Aug. 3, replacing Jonathan Schoop (ankle) on the active roster after Schoop was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Short has gone 0-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in two games with the Tigers this year.

Arauz (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Arauz will report to Triple-A after missing just under a month while recovering from a sprained right middle finger. The 24-year-old has gone 5-for-11 with a double and four RBI while scoring a run and stealing a base over three games with Norfolk this year. Arauz will likely return to the big leagues at some point down the stretch.

Urias went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 4-0 win over the Dodgers.

Urias didn't start the contest, but he came into the game as a defensive replacement in the third inning after Mike Brosseau left with a rib cage injury. In the following frame, Urias took advantage of the opportunity by drilling a solo homer for Milwaukee's first run. The long ball ended an ice cold stretch for Urias in which he had gone 0-for-20 over his past six games.

Urias isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

Urias will take a seat yet again against a southpaw. Mike Brosseau gets another chance to man the hot corner, as he's now done so in each of the last six times Milwaukee has faced a left-handed starter.
