Mullins (quadriceps) is starting in center field and batting seventh Tuesday against the Dodgers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 29-year-old sat out the past two games after being lifted from Friday's contest due to quadriceps tightness, but he'll rejoin the lineup following Monday's team off day. Mullins has a .217/.321/.370 slash line with two homers and four steals through 20 games in August.

Rodriguez (lat) threw from approximately 90 feet Tuesday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Rodriguez hasn't yet progressed to throwing off a mound, though beginning long toss is still a step in the right direction. The 24-year-old righty has been on the injured list since Aug. 7 with a right lat strain and is still expected to return at some point in September.

Lowe isn't in the Rays' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Red Sox recalled Winckowski from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

With Luis Garcia (elbow) headed for the injured list, Winckowski will now return to Boston just one day after being optioned to Triple-A. The 26-year-old righty owns a 4.37 ERA and 1.42 WHIP through 59.2 frames in the majors this year, though those numbers are heavily inflated by a six-run, three-inning performance during his appearance against Arizona on Friday.

The Red Sox placed Garcia on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow inflammation, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Since joining the Red Sox in late July, Garcia has allowed 13 earned runs in just 11.1 innings out of the bullpen, and he'll now be held out of action for at least the next 15 days. Josh Winckowski was recalled from Triple-A Worcester to fill the open roster spot.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Devers isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays due to soreness in his shoulders, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

The 27-year-old has been battling the issue throughout the summer, although Tuesday marks only his third time out of the starting nine since the start of June. Cora indicated Devers could be given multiple days to rest up, so he won't necessarily rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with Toronto.

Moniak is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Moniak returned to the lineup Sunday after missing a couple days due to an elbow injury, but he'll sit Tuesday as lefty Brant Hurter takes the mound for Detroit. Kevin Pillar will start in center field and bat cleanup.

With Jeffrey Springs set to begin Tuesday's contest for the Rays, the left-handed-hitting Rojas will step out of the starting nine. In his place, Dylan Moore will cover the hot corner while batting eighth.

Raley isn't in the Mariners' lineup Tuesday against the Rays.

Raley will take a seat on the bench as the Rays prepare to send southpaw Jeffrey Springs to the mound to begin Tuesday's game. Justin Turner will get the starting nod at first base instead and bat sixth.
