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The infielder has been replaced by Enmanuel Valdez at second base.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.

Torres is out of the lineup Tuesday in Minnesota, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Torres appears to be receiving a routine maintenance day. The Yankees will turn to Oswald Peraza to man second base while Torres takes a seat.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe went 0-for-5 with five strikeouts Monday and is 0-for-13 with nine strikeouts in his last three games overall, so it's probably not a bad time for the Rays to give him a break. It's the first time this season that he's been on the bench versus a right-hander, as Luis Garcia is taking the hill for Houston. Taylor Walls will handle second base in Lowe's absence.

Hensley is in the designated hitter spot and batting eighth for the Astros on Tuesday in Tampa Bay, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

It will be Hensley at DH and Corey Julks in left field with Yordan Alvarez (neck) sidelined. Hensley has just seven hits in 45 at-bats so far this season for Houston.

Kemp went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and two walks in an extra-inning win over the Angels on Monday.

Kemp was a factor out of the bottom of the order on a prolific night for Athletics bats, putting together his most productive offensive performance of the season yet. The veteran's multi-hit effort was his first since April 12 and helped snap an extended 1-for-26 funk he'd been mired in since that game prior to Monday.

The Red Sox recalled Valdez from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.

Valdez was up with the big club for one game earlier this month, picking up two hits in four plate appearances. The 24-year-old has struggled at Worcester this season but showed his offensive upside in 2022 with a .918 OPS and 28 homers between Double-A and Triple-A. He could see some starts at second base while he's up with the big club, though Christian Arroyo may be first in line to move back into an everyday role in the infield after Yu Chang (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Arroyo will start at second base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Arroyo recently missed time with a hamstring injury, but his absence from the lineup both of the past two days appear to be the result of him losing his hold on an everyday role. However, with Yu Chang suffering a left wrist injury in Monday's 5-4 loss and most likely bound for the injured list, Arroyo looks like he'll have an opportunity to reclaim a regular spot in the starting nine.

The Rays optioned Brujan to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Brujan will return to the minors to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster for outfielder Jose Siri (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Astros. During his latest stint in the majors, Brujan appeared in 11 games and went 5-for-20 with five runs and three RBI.
