Hiura is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Hiura closed out last week by going 5-for-14 at the dish while making four straight starts -- two in left field and two at designated hitter -- but he'll cede his spot in the lineup to Hunter Renfroe (calf), who is back from a stint on the 10-day injured list. Christian Yelich was scratched from the lineup Tuesday with mid-back tightness, and given his history of back issues, it's possible the Brewers take a cautious approach with him through the All-Star break. If that's the case, Hiura and Jonathan Davis could be the main candidates to get more work in the outfield.

Bohm (finger) was placed on the restricted list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Bohm suffered a dislocated left ring finger Monday against St. Louis, and he's now headed to the restricted list since he can't travel with the rest of the team to Canada for the two-game series in Toronto. It remains to be seen if the 25-year-old will require a stint on the injured list or if he'll be available for Friday's matchup with the Marlins.

Calhoun is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.

Calhoun will get a breather after he went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a run and a walk in Monday's victory. Steven Dugger will take over in left field and bat ninth Tuesday against the Athletics.

Solano is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

For one of the few times all season, the Reds have all their key regulars available with Joey Votto (back) checking back in at first base Tuesday following a week-long absence. As a result, Solano will end up losing out on a spot in the lineup after he went 9-for-25 with a home run and two walks while starting each of the past seven contests. The righty-hitting Solano should still have a regular spot in the starting nine versus left-handed pitching.

Votto (back) is batting cleanup and playing first base Tuesday in New York.

Votto will step back into the lineup for the first time since July 4 after battling a back injury. Prior to missing time, the veteran slashed .216/.326/.405 with three RBI in his last 10 games.

Raley went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Monday against the Red Sox.

Raley was promoted to the majors after Kevin Kiermaier (hip) landed back on the injured list Sunday. Raley isn't likely to find himself in the starting lineup often, but he replaced Harold Ramirez in left field Monday. He maintained a .290/.385/.560 line across 118 plate appearances with Triple-A Durham prior to being recalled -- strong numbers even considering the positive offensive environment.

Aranda went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Monday against the Red Sox.

Aranda drew his first start since being recalled Sunday, and he played second base while hitting fourth. The Rays have a lot of positional flexibility along their infield, but Aranda should be able to find regular playing time between second base and shortstop in the short term with both Wander Franco (wrist) and Brandon Lowe (back) sidelined. Once Lowe is activated -- which could come as early as Friday -- Aranda will vie for playing time at shortstop with Yu Chang and Taylor Walls. Aranda is a well-regarded prospect, and he tallied the second RBI of his career with a base knock in the fifth inning Monday.

Naylor is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Naylor will get a breather in the matinee after he returned to the lineup Monday following a back issue. He'll likely be in lineup for Game 2, but more information will come at the conclusion of the afternoon game. Owen Miller will get the start at first base and bat seventh in Game 1.

Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Cardinals.

The 29-year-old slugger took Miles Mikolas deep in the first inning, but it was all the offense the Phillies could muster. Hoskins has gone yard five times in the last 12 games, batting .310 (13-for-42) over that stretch, but four of them have been solo shots to limit his fantasy impact. On the season, he's slashing .255/.347/.494 with 18 homers and 43 RBI through 86 contests.

Casas (ankle) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with the Red Sox's rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Sidelined since May 17 with a high right ankle sprain, Casas is finally ready for game action after a prolonged recovery. He'll likely play in at least a couple games in the FCL this week and if all goes well, he could come off the 7-day injured list and settle back in as an everyday player in the Triple-A Worcester lineup following the All-Star break. One of Boston's top prospects, the 22-year-old first baseman was slashing .248/.359/.457 in 156 plate appearances at Triple-A before the injury cropped up.
