Caballero went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Phillies.

Caballero singled with two outs in the fifth inning before swiping second base and scoring on a J.P. Crawford single. Caballero would add an RBI in the seventh, driving in Cal Raleigh with a sacrifice fly. The 27-year-old Caballero has shown off some speed in his first taste of MLB action, though he's yet to do much with the bat. He's now 3-for-14 with a double, two runs scored, an RBI and two steals through his first five games.

Polanco is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Polanco will get a breather for the series finale after he started each of the Twins' five games since he was activated from the injured list last Friday while going 9-for-22 with a home run, four doubles, six RBI and three runs across those contests. Donovan Solano will check in for Polanco at second base.

Espinal (wrist) is starting at second base and batting ninth Wednesday versus the White Sox.

After suffering a right wrist contusion Saturday when he was hit by a Gerrit Cole fastball, Espinal had been available off the bench for both of the Blue Jays' first two games this week against the White Sox but went unused. He'll now get the chance to re-enter the lineup, as Whit Merrifield will moves from the infield to left field while Kevin Kiermaier gets the afternoon off.

Arroyo (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Arroyo departed Tuesday's 8-6 win with right hamstring tightness, so it's not overly surprising that he'll sit out for a day game after a night game. The Red Sox described Arroyo's removal from the contest as precautionary, and at this stage, he appears on track to avoid a stint on the injured list. If he quickly moves past the hamstring issue, Arroyo could step back into an everyday role in the middle infield after Yu Chang (wrist) landed on the IL on Tuesday and is expected to miss the next six weeks.

Massey went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Massey drove in a run in the fifth to extend the Royals' lead to 3-1. The 25-year-old now has three straight multi-hit games, but after that is still slashing just .188/.182/.203 with no homers, five RBI, four runs scored and a 0:23 BB:K over 66 plate appearances. The lack of plate discipline is certainly alarming, but perhaps Massey could be finding his way the at the dish with his recent hitting production.

Semien went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Reds.

Semien launched his fifth homer in the fifth inning. He's hit safely in 10 off the last 11 games, carrying a 1.217 OPS with four home runs, 15 RBI and 14 runs during that stretch.

Rengifo went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.

Rengifo got started with a single and a stolen base and would come around to score after the Angels tacked on four runs against Mason Miller in the opening frame. The 26-year-old is slashing just .203/.338/.266 with only two extra-base hits, seven RBI, 12 runs and an 11:16 BB:K over 77 plate appearances. Rengifo is known for being an aggressive hitter but is currently walking at a 14.7 percent clip, which would be the best mark of his career.

Dubon went 2-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Rays.

Dubon scored the first run in Tuesday's contest, doubling with one out in the fifth inning before coming around to score on a Jeremy Pena hit. Dubon would add his second double in the ninth before swiping third base, his second steal of the year. Dubon has hit safely in 18 consecutive games since going 0-for-3 on Opening Day. He's filled in admirably for Jose Altuve (thumb) at second base, slashing .329/.348/.424 with four RBI and 18 runs scored through 89 plate appearances.

Arroyo left Tuesday's game against the Orioles with right hamstring tightness as a precaution, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored before leaving.

The infielder has been replaced by Enmanuel Valdez at second base. Arroyo has dealt with a hamstring injury for the majority of the year, and Boston won't take any chances with the 27-year-old. He should be considered day-to-day.

Sosa is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Sosa has taken on a near-everyday role in the middle infield since Tim Anderson (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list April 11, but the 23-year-old hasn't done much to capitalize on the opportunity. After mustering just one hit in 18 at-bats over his last six games, Sosa will retreat to the bench Tuesday while Romy Gonzalez gets a turn at second base.
