McLain isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

McLain has gone just 1-for-16 with eight strikeouts over his last five starts, and he'll now move to the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Edwin Arroyo will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

Arraez went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in Friday's 3-1 loss to Atlanta.

Arraez returned to the lineup following a two-game absence with a right foot injury, hitting a leadoff double in the first inning and drawing a walk in the fifth. The veteran infielder has recorded a hit in 19 of his last 21 games dating back to May 31, batting .318 with 13 runs scored, 10 RBI, one home run and one stolen base across 100 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .321/.360/.447 with 40 runs scored, 30 RBI, six stolen bases and three long balls in 337 plate appearances this season.

Arraez (foot) is back in the lineup for Friday's matchup against Atlanta, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

After missing the previous two games with a right foot injury, Arraez is back in the lineup for the series opener against Atlanta. The 29-year-old underwent X-rays that came back clean. Arraez will lead off and play second base in his return.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Mariners.

Lowe opened the scoring in the bottom of the first inning with a 391-foot shot off Bryce Miller, his ninth homer of the year. The long ball also extended Lowe's current hitting streak to nine games -- he's gone 12-for-39 (.308) with a pair of homers and an .872 OPS in that span. He's slashing .249/.326/.515 with 51 RBI and 50 runs scored through 331 plate appearances in his first season with Pittsburgh.

The Mets placed Semien on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left hip flexor strain.

Semien played every inning of both legs of Wednesday's doubleheader but evidently picked up a hip injury in the process. It's not clear at this point how long the veteran infielder will be sidelined. Brett Baty will likely see the bulk of the reps at second base while Semien is out.

Arraez (foot) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Athletics.

Arraez will miss a second consecutive start after he had to depart Tuesday's game when he fouled a ball off the arch of his right foot. X-rays were clean, but Arraez remains sore. He's considered day-to-day. Casey Schmitt will cover second base again for the Giants in Thursday's series finale.

Koss (wrist) went 2-for-3 with an RBI in the ACL Giants' 9-1 win over the ACL Padres in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Wednesday.

After being optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on May 15, Koss fractured his left wrist and landed on the injured list. However, he began a rehab assignment in Arizona on Wednesday, logging two singles and an RBI over the first two innings before being lifted in the sixth. The 28-year-old infielder made San Francisco's Opening Day roster but slashed just .071/.133/.143 with a run scored in 15 plate appearances before being sent down.

Castro went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base Wednesday against the Red Sox.

Castro has swung the bat well for all of June, with this marking his sixth multi-hit effort in 18 starts. He's hit .324 with 14 RBI, 14 runs scored and two stolen bases in that span. Castro has established himself as a key part of Colorado's lineup, as he's served as the leadoff hitter against lefties across the last month, and he's primarily hit second against righties for the past two weeks.

Marte went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Cardinals.

Marte's blast capped a six-run fourth inning for the Diamondbacks. He's hit safely in 12 of his last 13 games, going 18-for-52 (.346) in that span with two homers, seven RBI and five doubles. The second baseman is now hitting .265 with a .780 OPS on the year, and he's added 13 homers, 47 RBI, 42 runs scored, 17 doubles, two triples and a stolen base over 76 contests while working mainly out of the leadoff spot.

Hoerner went 4-for-9 with a walk, four doubles and five runs scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

After enduring a brutal slump for much of June, Hoerner is showing signs of life lately. The speedy infielder has gone 8-for-23 across his last four games with six doubles and seven runs scored. Hoerner is still batting only .241 on the season, which is well below the level he's used to, but he has the contact skills to turn things around, and he's at his best when he's getting on regularly and swiping plenty of bases.
