Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Guardians.

Bogaerts doubled in the bottom of the first inning before ripping an RBI single off Bryan Shaw in the third frame. He later added a second two-bagger and came around to score in the eighth. The shortstop has now produced seven multi-hit contests over his last 14 games, raising his average from .306 to .317. Bogaerts is still in the middle of a power drought, though, hitting only two long balls over 50 games since May 28.

Allen is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

Allen started the past three contests and will take a seat after going 2-for-10 with an RBI and a run. Jonah Bride will shift to second base while Vimael Machin starts at the hot corner.

Velazquez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Velazquez started four of the Angels' last five games, but he is hitting just 5-for-28 (.179) in July, so he is not seeing everyday at-bats just yet. Michael Stefanic will enter the lineup in Velazquez's place.

Abrams (biceps) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Abrams has not taken the field since the first game following the All-Star break, and he will remain out of the starting lineup for at least another day. Chances are he will remain out at least until Friday, as the Padres play an afternoon affair Wednesday and have off the following day.

Rojas will sit Tuesday versus the Reds, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Rojas will get a day off after going 1-for-4 in the series opener Monday, extending his hit streak to four games. Joey Wendle will slide over to shortstop while Willians Astudillo takes over at second base.

Witt (hamstring) is not starting Tuesday's game against the Angels, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

The rookie is missing his second straight game after hurting his hamstring Sunday. Witt should still be considered day-to-day until the Royals provide further updates on his injury, and Nicky Lopez is the shortstop Tuesday.

Pena went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two total runs in a loss to the Athletics on Monday.

Pena's first-inning solo homer gave Houston an early lead, but the team never led after the third frame. The rookie shortstop also homered against Seattle on Sunday, and this was the first time in his major-league career that he's gone deep in consecutive games. Pena ranks second among rookies with 15 home runs on the season, which trails Seattle's Julio Rodriguez by one.

Duran went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Duran hit a single and scored on a wild pitch in the third inning. He also walked and stole second in the fourth, giving him three steals in four attempts this year. The infielder has hit safely in all five games since the All-Star break, going 5-for-17 (.294) in that span. He's started at third base in three of those contests, though it doesn't appear the right-handed hitter is getting platooned since he's started against four righties. In 21 contests overall, Duran has a .266/.301/.418 slash line with two home runs, nine RBI and 13 runs scored.

Crawford (knee) was cleared to begin a running program Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford has already been spotted taking part in infield work, and this is another positive sign. However, the team has yet to comment on when he could go out on a rehab assignment.

Berti (groin) hit in the cage and ran recently, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com

Berti has been on the injured list with a left groin strain since July 15, but it's encouraging to see him resume baseball activities. It's not yet clear when the 32-year-old will be able to rejoin the Marlins or whether he'll require a rehab assignment at some point.
