Lowe isn't starting Wednesday's game against Washington, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe will get a day off after he went 2-for-6 with a pair of solo home runs, a walk and three strikeouts across the last two games. Mike Brosseau will start at second base and bat eighth.

Miller was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to serve as the 27th man in Wednesday's doubleheader against the Tigers, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Miller was sent down in mid-June, and he hit .209 with a home run, two doubles, seven runs and three RBI in 13 games since returning to Triple-A Columbus. He'll be available for both games in Wednesday's twin bill but could return to the minors afterward.

Merrifield went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Red Sox.

Merrifield led off the game with an opposite-field home run that traveled only 343 feet and barely cleared the wall in right field. He walked his next time up and then singled and stole his league-high 22nd base of the year. The 32-year-old is slashing .287/.336/.435 with eight homers, 45 RBI, 48 runs scored and a 23:43 BB:K over 342 plate appearances.

Torres went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a walk, a run and a stolen base during Tuesday's win over the Angels.

The 24-year-old brought home two runs on a single during the fourth inning, and he notched a stolen base two frames later after hitting another single. Torres entered Tuesday's contest in a 3-for-42 slump, and it was his first run scored since June 10 and first RBI since June 6, spans of 14 and 17 games, respectively.

Semien went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double, five RBI, a stolen base and another run scored during Tuesday's win against the Mariners.

Semien took Will Vest deep in the seventh inning. He also swatted a two-run double against Chris Flexen in the second. The 30-year-old has tallied 19 long balls on the season, including six in the month of June. Overall, he's slashing .286/.350/.533 with 10 stolen bases and a team-leading 19 doubles.

Arroyo (knee) is expected to return for the Red Sox's upcoming weekend series in Oakland, if not sooner, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

As anticipated, the 26-year-old will not have missed much time with his bruised right knee, which he suffered June 20 in Kansas City. Before the injury, Arroyo had hit .250 with four homers and 14 RBI in his last 15 games. It's unclear whether Michael Chavis, Danny Santana or another player will be sent down to Triple-A Worcester, but Arroyo figures to get frequent starts at second base regardless.

Hernandez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 6-5 win over Kansas City.

For the second straight game, Hernandez led off the affair with a home run, his eighth in 235 at-bats. He took the Yankees' Gerrit Cole deep to lead off Sunday's 9-2 win. It's unclear whether Hernandez has reclaimed the leadoff job, but he'll remain an option for manager Alex Cora, who has used several players atop the order during the month of June.

Clement went 2-for-4 with three runs scored in Monday's 13-5 win over the Tigers.

This was his first multi-hit game since he was recalled June 13. He notched two singles and also reached base on a fielder's choice. The 25-year-old is slashing .286/.348/.333 with six hits, an RBI and six runs scored in his first 23 plate appearances, and he should be able to hang around in the majors while Cleveland waits to get some guys healthy again.

Rosario went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's 13-5 win over the Tigers.

Rosario recorded a multi-hit performance for the second straight game and the eighth time this month. He came around to score in the first and fourth innings as Cleveland's offense had its way with Detroit's pitching. The 25-year-old upped his slash line to .276/.331/.398 with five homers, 23 RBI, 39 runs scored, seven stolen bases and an 18:52 K:BB over 266 plate appearances. Despite a slow start, he's done quite well filling the shoes of Francisco Lindor since being shipped to Cleveland for him in a six-player trade back in January.

Merrifield went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Red Sox.

Merrifield singled and scored in the first inning before launching a solo homer in the second. It was his seventh homer of the season and first since June 20. The 32-year-old owns a .757 OPS with 27 extra-base hits through 337 plate appearances.
