Arroyo could miss the entirety of Boston's series against Minnesota due to hamstring tightness, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Arroyo exited Monday's game against the Angels due to lower-body cramping, and it now seems that his hamstring is what's giving him problems. If Arroyo is forced to sit out multiple games, Enrique Hernandez and Yu Chang will likely see more time together in the middle of Boston's infield.

Donovan is considered day-to-day with a left shin abrasion, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

This minor issue is what prompted the Cardinals to scratch Donovan from their starting lineup Tuesday night against the Diamondbacks. Nolan Gorman will cover second base and Taylor Motter is in at third.

Donovan was scratched from the Cardinals' lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

There's no reason yet for the sudden change. Nolan Gorman is now starting at second base and batting fifth, with Taylor Motter entering the lineup at third base and hitting eighth.

The Astros recalled Bannon from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Bannon appeared in four games at the major-league level last season, going just 2-for-14 at the plate in that time. He's fared a bit better in Triple-A, slashing .242/.361/.406 over 462 plate appearances since 2022. His promotion comes in the wake of Chas McCormick (back) being placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Polanco (knee) has been moved up to Triple-A St. Paul to continue his rehab assignment, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Polanco went 5-for-18 with one double in six games with Low-A Fort Myers and is now ready to test things out against stiffer competition. The veteran second baseman is working his way back from a left knee issue and should be ready for his season debut in the next week or so.

Wisely was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Wisely made the Opening Day roster out of Giants camp this spring before getting sent down after just one game. He'll get another look coming off a huge weekend showing for Sacramento, including a four-double game Sunday.

Arroyo (lower body) is not in the Red Sox' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Arroyo had to come out of Monday's contest versus the Angels due to lower-body cramping and will be held out of this one. Enrique Hernandez will cover second base.

Urias (hamstring) was transferred Tuesday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Urias suffered a severe left hamstring strain in the Brewers' season opener March 30 against the Cubs. The initial timeline called for him to miss at least eight weeks, so this is mostly just a procedural move to clear out a 40-man roster spot.

Julien is absent from the Twins' lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox.

The left-handed hitting Julien will take a seat with the Red Sox throwing southpaw Chris Sale. Switch hitter Willi Castro is at second base. It's the first time in the six games since he was promoted that Julien hasn't been in the lineup.

Sosa is starting at second base and batting eighth for the White Sox in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

It's the fifth straight start for Sosa, who is 3-for-16 with a home run in his previous four contests. The 23-year-old is one of the White Sox' better prospects and is worth using in deeper fantasy leagues while he's playing regularly, although that might only be the case while Tim Anderson (knee) is out.
