Ibanez started at first base and went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Yankees.

Ibanez continues to show a lively bat despite moving around the diamond. He's 7-for-15 in four games since coming off the injured list while seeing time at first base, second base and designated hitter.

Mayfield went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 10-5 loss to the Astros.

Mayfield went deep off Jose Urquidy in the second inning to put the Angels on the board. In addition, he walked in the sixth frame. It is just the second time he got on base twice in his last nine games. The 30-year-old is slashing .211/.277/.432 with 10 long balls, 26 RBI and 25 runs scored in 240 plate appearances this season.

Clement went 2-for-3 with a solo home run during Tuesday's win over the Royals.

Clement took Daniel Lynch deep with a 396-foot blast in the third inning. The long ball accounted for his first hit in three games since getting recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday. Overall this season, the 25-year-old is batting .227/.276/.336 with three homers across 39 games.

Kemp will take a seat versus the Mariners on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old sits for the second consecutive contest. He had secured at least one hit in eight of 11 games to open the month before going hitless in his last four contests. Mark Canha will shift over to left field and Chad Pinder will start in right field and bat sixth.

Arroyo was activated from the COVID-19 list Tuesday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

The 26-year-old last played in the majors Aug. 26 prior to testing positive for COVID-19. The platoon player suffered more severe symptoms than his teammates and thus missed almost a month. Arroyo has posted a career-high six home runs and 25 RBI in 53 games this season. Jack Lopez was optioned to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move.

Gimenez is not starting Tuesday against the Royals.

He'll get his first rest since Sept. 14 after going a combined 1-for-5 with a solo homer during Monday's twin bill. Ernie Clement starts at second base with Yu Chang slotting in at shortstop Tuesday.

Rosario was activated from the bereavement list and placed on the COVID-19 injured list while he goes through intake protocols, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Rosario will need to pass through the virus protocols after leaving the United States to attend to a family matter. The 25-year-old will likely only miss a couple more days before rejoining the lineup.

Gonzalez was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Gonzalez was called up when rosters expanded at the start of September. He got into 10 games, hitting an unremarkable .250/.273/.344 in 33 trips to the plate. He'll return to the minors to make room for Adam Engel (shoulder), who was activated off the injured list.

Andrus went 2-for-2 with a run in a loss to the Mariners on Monday.

A one-game absence Friday due to a foot injury has done nothing to cool off Andrus' red-hot September bat, as he's gone 4-for-9 with a walk and a run in the three contests following his return. The veteran shortstop's season slash line currently sits at .245/.293/.324, with the first two figures at their highest point since a 1-for-3 effort way back on Opening Day.

Gimenez went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Royals.

After going 0-for-3 during the matinee, Gimenez got Cleveland on the board in the nightcap by taking Joel Payamps deep in the third inning. The 23-year-old only has four homers in 22 big-league games on the year, but two of them have come in the last four contests. Since being recalled in August, Gimenez is slashing a tepid .225/.307/.348 with six steals, eight RBI and 10 runs in 31 games.
