Castro was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Mariners due to a right hand injury, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Castro hurt his right hand during pregame warmups, and he'll be replaced by Isaac Paredes at third base. The 27-year-old is being examined by team doctors, and a better idea of his status going forward could be revealed once the examination is complete.

Rosario went 3-for-5 with an RBI triple and three runs scored in Tuesday's 10-1 win over St. Louis.

The shortstop opened the scoring with an RBI triple to plate Cesar Hernandez in the first inning. Rosario then scored on a Jose Ramirez groundout. Rosario also singled twice and scored each time he got on base. He's slashing .256/.318/.398 with four home runs, 18 RBI, 28 runs scored, five stolen bases and four triples in 51 games. He's scored 10 runs in his last eight contests as a steady presence in the No. 2 spot in the lineup.

Jones (oblique) was activated off the minor-league injured list Tuesday.

Jones hit the injured list in mid-May with a strained left oblique, an injury which was originally expected to keep him out for days rather than weeks. He played just six games for Triple-A Norfolk prior to suffering the injury but could make his case for a big-league call-up if he hits well upon his return, as the Orioles have turned to players like Stevie Wilkerson and Pat Valaika at second base in recent weeks.

Lowe will hit the bench against lefty Jon Lester and the Nationals on Tuesday, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

Lowe has had more than a platoon role this season, but he's now been on the bench against three of the last five southpaws the Rays have faced. He's hitting just .192/.304/.369 on the season, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see his playing time continue to dip until he turns things around. Mike Brosseau will be the second baseman Tuesday.

Double-A Montgomery reinstated Edwards (oblique) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Edwards landed on the IL with the oblique issue in early May, and after a month-long absence, he looks ready to make his 2021 and organization debut. The 21-year-old switch-hitting infielder slashed .301/.349/.367 over 217 plate appearances at High-A Lake Elsinore in 2019 as a member of the Padres organization. Tampa Bay acquired Edwards in the deal that sent Tommy Pham and Jake Cronenworth to San Diego prior to the 2020 campaign.

Brujan owns a .305/.407/.543 slash line with four doubles, seven home runs, 21 RBI, 13 steals, 18 walks and 26 runs across 123 plate appearances at Triple-A Durham.

Fellow elite prospect Wander Franco is grabbing a lot of the spotlight, but as Brujan's numbers clearly indicate, he's having no trouble shining regularly against the highest level of competition in the minors either. Adam Berry of MLB.com reports Brujan just received the organization's Minor League Hitter of the Month award for May, and his lauded pound-for-pound strength has already led to some surprising power displays. Brujan and Franco are regularly heading up the top of the order for the Bulls as a 1-2 punch thus far this season, and the former's defensive versatility could certainly lead to him getting his first big-league promotion at some point in 2021.

Arroyo went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's 5-3 victory over Miami.

Arroyo drove home a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth inning on a single to right field, extending Boston's lead to three. Monday marked the sixth time this season he's slotted in as the leadoff hitter, a role that's been occupied by Danny Santana of late. Arroyo is slashing .301/.350/.441 with 11 extra-base hits, 10 RBI and one stolen base through 31 games this season.

Andrus went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in a loss to the Rockies on Sunday.

The veteran shortstop mustered the only multi-hit effort on a difficult afternoon for the Athletics offense. Andrus' season slash line is up to .214/.259/.273, unsightly numbers that nevertheless qualify as his highest in all three categories since Opening Day.

Haggerty (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.

Haggerty has been sidelined since May 24 due to right shoulder inflammation, and he still doesn't have a clear timetable to return. He won't be eligible to return until at least late July, while his move to the 60-day IL is part of a shuffle to make room for Shed Long (shin), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Torres went 2-for-5 with a double, run, RBI and stolen base in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

The shortstop maintained his recent hot hitting, notching his third multi-hit game over his past five contests. During that stretch, he has gone 7-for-18 with a homer, two doubles and four RBI. Sunday's stolen base was his fourth in six attempts this season.
