Arcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Reds.

Arcia heads to the bench for the third time in the last four contests and finished June with a .184/.226/.391 slash line with five homers in 24 games. Manager Craig Counsell said Tyler Saladino will be splitting time at shortstop with Arcia going forward, with Saladino receiving the starting nod Monday.

Wendle is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The utility man had started each of the Rays' three games versus Texas over the weekend, going 2-for-8 at the plate with two RBI. Wendle, who is hitting just .192 since returning from the injured list in mid-June, doesn't have a clear path to an everyday role now that Yandy Diaz is healthy again.

Bichette went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored for Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

The 21-year-old is now slashing a sizzling .365/.460/.554 through 20 games with two homers, eight steals, 11 RBI and 16 runs since recovering from a hand injury. Bichette is probably ready for a promotion right now, but with Freddy Galvis doing a solid job at shortstop for the Jays and the team not in contention, it could be a while before he joins Vlad Guerrero Jr. and Cavan Biggio in the majors.

Swanson went 3-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Mets.

Swanson registered three hits for the second straight game, raising his batting average 10 points over that span. He is in the midst of a career year at the plate, having already slugged a career-best 15 home runs while setting a pace for career highs in all three slash line categories. On the season, this slash line now sits at .269/.332/.483.

Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in a 12-8 loss to the Yankees on Sunday.

The 26-year-old went 1-for-3 in both games in London, reaching base four times during the two-game set. Bogaerts has hits in 12 of his last 13 games and has 10 extra-base hits during that stretch. He is batting .299 with 16 home runs, 57 RBI, 63 runs and three steals in 311 at-bats this season.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's loss to the Astros.

Crawford gave his club an early 1-0 lead in the first inning with a solo blast to right center, but Seattle was unable to do any additional damage on the day. The 24-year-old shortstop is slashing .310/.380/.500 with three homers and 22 RBI over 33 contests this season.

Cruz (foot) went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs against Fort Myers on Sunday.

The High-A affair was his first since he fractured his foot in late April. Cruz, who went 6-for-10 with a stolen base in a rehab stint, returned to his customary shortstop position and batted third in the Marauders' lineup. The 20-year-old offers an interesting combination of speed and power. He is expected to spend most, if not all, of the summer playing for Bradenton.

Berti (oblique) will continue his rehab assignment at Triple-A New Orleans through the All-Star break, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Berti began the rehab stint Saturday and will spend a couple weeks in the minors while making his way back from the left oblique strain. The 29-year-old had a .237/.324/.373 slash line over 22 games in a utility role prior to the injury.

Seager (hamstring) may take live batting practice Sunday and could begin a rehab assignment this week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Seager has resumed running and taking swings over the last week with the hopes of rejoining the Dodgers at the end of the All-Star break. The 25-year-old landed on the injured list June 13 with a left hamstring strain and should only require a handful of rehab outings to get back up to speed.

Crawford is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Crawford will retreat to the bench as the Giants stock up on extra right-handed bats to counter southpaw Robbie Ray. Donovan Solano will replace Crawford at shortstop and serve as the Giants' leadoff hitter.
