Martinez isn't in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Reds.

After going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts to start the day, Martinez will move to the bench to begin the second half of Tuesday's festivities. His absence will put Chase DeLauter in right field and Jose Ramirez at DH, allowing Gabriel Arias to start at third base.

Crawford is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Crawford is taking a seat after playing in the last three games of a four-game series versus the Rangers that concluded Monday. He went 2-for-10 with two RBI and a double in the three games. With the 31-year-old sitting Tuesday, Weston Wilson has the start at third base and is batting eighth.

Wong isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

Wong will rest his legs after going 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored during Monday's series opener. Carlos Narvaez will handle catching duties and bat ninth Tuesday.

Raley is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

The Dodgers have southpaw Justin Wrobleski on the mound Tuesday, so the left-handed-hitting Raley will take a seat. Dominic Canzone is starting in right field for Raley, while Rob Refsnyder is getting a turn as the designated hitter.

The Red Sox are expected to recall Sogard from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

With Curtis Mead set to miss extended time due to a fractured wrist, Sogard will rejoin the big club to help replenish Boston's infield depth. The 28-year-old can cover all four infield positions and has slashed .257/.350/.371 across 41 major-league plate appearances this season, though he doesn't have a clear pathway to regular playing time.

Lowe is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Astros, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Lowe is starting the game on the bench for the fourth time in the last five games since July 24. Wade Meckler, Mike Trout and Jo Adell are the starting outfielders for the Angels.

The Red Sox are expected to place Mead on the 10-day injured list after he was diagnosed Tuesday with a fractured left wrist, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

Mead was hit on the wrist by a pitch during his second at-bat while making his Red Sox debut in Monday's 4-2 win over the Athletics, and the 25-year-old infielder is now facing an extended stint on the IL after follow-up tests on his wrist revealed a fracture. The team hasn't provided an estimated recovery timeline, though if Mead needs surgery, he could be lost for the season. The Red Sox plan to call up Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester to replace Mead on the 26-man active roster, and Anthony Seigler will likely reclaim a regular role at second base.

Guzman is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Astros, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Guzman had started the last four games since July 24 for the Angels, going 2-for-14 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored. As the third baseman hits the bench Tuesday, Vaughn Grissom is starting at third with Oswald Peraza taking over at second base.

Lewis is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals

Lewis started the Twins' previous eight games and will hit the bench after going 5-for-28 with two doubles and four steals during that stretch. Victor Caratini is getting the start at first base Tuesday for Minnesota.

Kirk is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

Kirk started the previous two games and will get a breather Tuesday after going 2-for-7 with a walk and a strikeout. Brandon Valenzuela will step in behind the plate to catch veteran righty Shane Bieber while batting sixth.
