Hamilton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

Hamilton will hit the bench for the third time in four games, with all three absences coming while the Red Sox have gone up against left-handed starting pitchers. The 27-year-old had occupied the keystone in each of the previous six matchups with right-handers, however, and he could retain a regular spot in the lineup after the Red Sox demoted the struggling Kristian Campbell to Triple-A Worcester last week. Campbell may end up getting most of his reps at first base when he returns from the minors, but Hamilton will still be at risk of moving into more of a utility role when Alex Bregman (quadriceps) is activated from the injured list. Marcelo Mayer has been serving as the Red Sox's primary third baseman, but he'll spell Hamilton at second base Wednesday and could end up seeing the bulk of his reps at the keystone once Bregman is back in the fold.

Julien went 3-for-4 with a home run Tuesday for Triple-A St. Paul. He's hitting .324/.457/.581 with five home runs in June at Triple-A.

Julien is hitting .278/.430/.444 at Triple-A since he was sent down in early May. He's reduced his strikeout rate to 21.7 percent in June, which could show he's found some changes in his approach as a high strikeout rate has been his problem in the majors even with accompanying high walk rates. His recent hot streak could give him another shot in the majors soon with the Twins struggling and perhaps looking to shake up the roster.

Castro (wrist) went 0-for-2 with a strikeout and played three innings at second base in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.

Castro entered the game in the sixth inning as a pinch hitter in place of Kody Clemens in what was the former's first appearance since Saturday. Assuming Castro's right wrist didn't provide any complications in his cameo off the bench, he could re-enter the starting nine Wednesday.

Clemens went 1-for-1 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.

Clemens got the Twins on the board with a solo blast off Luis Castillo in the third inning. Clemens has picked up three consecutive starts at second base, and he could be in store for regular opportunities against right-handed pitching while the absence of Royce Lewis (hamstring) creates an opening in the infield.

Moore went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

All three of Moore's homers have come over the last five games, and this was also his first multi-hit effort in the majors. He initially tied the game at 1-1 with a solo shot in the eighth inning before adding a walk-off blast in the 10th. The 22-year-old is now batting .194 over 12 games, adding four extra-base hits, six RBI, five runs scored, no stolen bases and a 2:14 BB:K. Moore continues to play regularly at second base as the Angels see what their top hitting prospect can do against major-league pitchers.

Massey (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Massey has been shelved for the past two weeks with a sprained left ankle but is ready for game action. The 27-year-old is slashing a lowly .202/.221/.258 this season, and he had seen his playing time wane before getting hurt.

Castro (wrist) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

The veteran super-utility man hasn't seen the field since Saturday due to the wrist injury, which is an issue he initially played through before exiting the lineup. Castro had X-rays come back negative Sunday, though he'll still sit for a third consecutive game Tuesday. Kody Clemens is starting at second base while Harrison Bader handles left field for Minnesota.

Holliday went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Monday's win over Texas.

Holliday opened the game's scoring with an RBI double in the third inning and blew it open with his three-run blast in the fifth. It was his ninth home run of the year and first since June 6, snapping a 14-game drought. He bumped his season slash line up to .265/.313/.422 with 23 extra-base knocks and 31 RBI through 294 plate appearances.

The Astros optioned Whitcomb to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.

Whitcomb's most recent stint in the big leagues lasted less than a week, and he struck out in both of his plate appearances. He is being cleared from the active roster to make room for the return of Taylor Trammell (calf) from the 10-day injured list.

Dubon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a two-run home run during Sunday's 8-7 win over the Angels.

Dubon notched his third and fourth home runs in his last five games, bringing his season total up to five long balls. The performance marked Dubon's second-career multi-homer game, with his first coming back in 2023. On the year, Dubon is slashing .255/.297/.421 with 19 runs scored and 18 RBI over 156 plate appearances.
