Arroyo went 2-for-2 with one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's win over the Rays.

Arroyo got Boston on the board with an RBI single in the second inning to score Alex Verdugo. He later singled to start the fifth inning and came around to score on a Xander Bogaerts grand slam. The game was called short after the fifth inning due to rain, preventing Arroyo from the opportunity to record his seventh three-hit game of the season. Since missing several games due to illness at the end of September, Arroyo is 6-for-20 with two runs and four RBI.

Rosario went 3-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in a 5-3 victory Tuesday against the Royals.

Rosario singled in his first three at-bats and added a stolen base and a run scored in the fifth. He's 18-for-22 on stolen-base attempts this season and has swiped six bags since Sept. 4. The 27-year-old has been on base often recently and has a .342/.354/.532 slash line with five stolen bases and 16 RBI in his last 18 games.

Haggerty (groin), who was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier Tuesday, isn't expected to be available to return during the Mariners' upcoming postseason run, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Haggerty was diagnosed with what appears to be a fairly significant left groin strain after he exited Monday's loss to the Tigers with the injury. He was spotted walking around in the clubhouse Tuesday with the assistance of crutches, but the Mariners anticipate that Haggerty will avoid surgery to address the injury. The 28-year-old closes the 2022 campaign with a .256/.335/.403 slash line to go with five home runs and 13 stolen bases over 201 plate appearances.

Torres (illness) is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rangers.

Torres sat out Game 1 of the twin bill after he was scratched from Monday's lineup due to an illness, and he'll remain on the bench for Tuesday's nightcap. Oswaldo Cabrera will shift to the keystone while Aaron Hicks starts in left field.

Diaz isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

After beginning his career with a .283/.313/.348 slash line through 14 games, Diaz will sit down to start Tuesday's game. Nate Mondou will start at second base instead and bat seventh.

Arraez (hamstring) is starting as Minnesota's designated hitter and will bat leadoff Tuesday against the White Sox, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

After missing the Twins' last two games because of a hamstring issue, Arraez is officially good to go once again. The 25-year-old has recorded a hit in each of his last seven games, though he holds just a .541 OPS over 29 career plate appearances against Tuesday's starter, Lucas Giolito.

Haggerty was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left groin strain.

The transaction spells an end to Haggerty's regular season, and the Mariners may need to advance to the ALDS for him to have a chance at playing again in 2022. The 28-year-old outfielder hit .256/.335/.403 with five home runs and 13 steals in 201 plate appearances.

Torres (illness) remains on the bench for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against Texas.

Torres was scratched Monday due to illness, and he's still not feeling well, per Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News. It's possible he would only have been asked to play one half of the twin bill even if fully healthy, however. Oswald Peraza starts at second base in his absence.

Frazier went 2-for-3 with an RBI single in a loss to the Tigers on Monday.

Frazier's multi-hit effort was one of only two on the night for the Mariners and served as his first such tally since Sept. 22. While the veteran's .238 average and .613 OPS are well below his career norms, Frazier is showing some encouraging signs at the plate as the postseason approaches, hitting a solid .276 with three doubles and five RBI across his last nine games.

Merrifield went 3-for-3 with a run scored and two RBI in Monday's 5-1 win over the Orioles.

All three hits were singles, and he was caught stealing, but it was still another productive night for Merrifield. The 33-year-old has three three-hit performances in the last four games, and over his last 12 contests he's slashing a blistering .463/.477/.854 with four doubles, four homers, 10 runs and 11 RBI.
