Frazier went 1-for-2 with a solo homer and two RBI in Wednesday's 11-7 loss to the Reds. He also walked twice.

Frazier drew walks in two of his first three at-bats before crushing a two-out, two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game at 7-7. It was the second baseman's first home run since June 13 against the Blue Jays and he's now 4-for-8 at the plate over his last four games with three RBI, two runs scored and four walks. However, his average still sits .191 in June even following that four-game stretch.

Drury went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 11-5 loss to the White Sox.

Each of Drury's three hits drove in a run Wednesday, including his seventh-inning solo shot. The infielder has been locked in at the plate in June, batting .344 (32-for-93) over 23 games this month. His extended run of production has him up to a .278/.325/.505 slash line with 14 homers, 45 RBI, 35 runs scored, 17 doubles and two triples over 74 contests. He's 0-for-2 on stolen-base attempts this year. Drury appears to have taken over the starting role at second base for the Angels after their recent infield reshuffling following trades for Eduardo Escobar and Mike Moustakas last week.

Remillard went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 11-5 win over the Angels.

Remillard's playing time dried up once Tim Anderson got back into the lineup. This was Remillard's third multi-hit effort in 10 contests, and he's now 10-for-26 (.385). The utility man also has two steals on three attempts, four RBI and three runs scored. Regular playing time is likely to remain hard to come by, so it's unlikely the 29-year-old will garner much interest in fantasy.

Lopez was removed from Wednesday's game with a right hand contusion.

Lopez had to be removed from Wednesday's contest after taking a pitch to the hand, and he's now officially listed as day-to-day. It's possible the Royals hold Lopez out of the lineup Thursday, though it will likely depend on how the 28-year-old infielder is feeling. Lopez is slashing .128/.277/.179 since the beginning of June.

Lopez was removed from Wednesday's game against the Guardians after getting hit by a pitch, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

The pitch hit Lopez's hand/wrist, and he was replaced at second base by Samad Taylor between innings. The Royals will take a closer look at Lopez and should provide more details relatively soon, but Lopez should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Andrus isn't in the White Sox's lineup Wednesday against the Angels.

Andrus is just 2-for-18 with one RBI across his last six games, so he'll take a day off Wednesday to regroup. Zach Remillard will fill in at second base and bat eighth.

Rengifo isn't in the Angels' lineup Wednesday against the White Sox, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rengifo broke his four-game hitless streak with a triple Tuesday, and he'll catch a breather Wednesday against Chicago. While Rengifo rests, Eduardo Escobar will start at third base, Brandon Drury will play second and Mike Moustakas will start at first.

Altuve (heel) is leading off and playing second base versus the Cardinals on Wednesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Altuve makes his return to the lineup after being out since Saturday due to discomfort in his heel. The 33-year-old will be back in his usual spot at the top of the lineup, and Mauricio Dubon will retreat to the bench with Altuve back in action.

Julien is not in Wednesday's lineup against Atlanta.

Julien is the Twins' leadoff hitter against righties, but he has only started against one lefty this month. Donovan Solano is starting at the keystone and leading off with southpaw Kolby Allard on the hill for Atlanta.

Lowe (back) will continue his rehab with Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe landed on the injured list June 5 and began his assignment Monday, going 1-for-3 with a strikeout in rookie ball. If everything goes as planned, Lowe could return to the Rays' lineup during the team's next homestand beginning July 4.
