Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 12-2 loss to the Marlins.

He spoiled Edward Cabrera's shutout bid in the sixth inning, giving Garcia his first homer in the majors this season. The 22-year-old appears to have no intention of going back to Triple-A, reeling off three straight multi-hit appearances and batting .391 (9-for-23) with six RBI in six games since his promotion.

Rosario went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two stolen bases in a 6-3 win over the Rangers during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

The 26-year-old was also productive in the nightcap, going 1-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI. Rosario started both ends of the twin bill at shortstop and hit second, and while he's still looking for his first homer of 2022, he's found a bit of a groove over his last 16 games by batting .284 (19-for-67) with four of his five steals on the season.

Semien went 7-for-8 with a walk, three solo home runs, an additional run scored and two stolen bases across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader split against the Guardians.

The veteran infielder had a rough start to his Texas tenure, but Semien is quickly making up for lost time. Over his last 12 games, he's slashing .353/.421/.725 with six homers, six steals, 12 RBI and 16 runs.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 14-8 loss to the Reds.

Marte's blast was part of Arizona's five-run eighth inning. After just two homers over his first 49 games, Marte has gone deep twice in the last five.

Merrifield hasn't attempted a stolen base since he was caught stealing May 24.

The 33-year-old has gone 10-for-49 (.204) with three walks, six strikeouts, six RBI and five runs in his last 12 games. Merrifield was hot for much of the middle of May, but the versatile veteran is back in a slump again. He's now slashing .217/.258/.308 with three home runs, 24 RBI, 25 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 54 contests overall. With the Royals a major-league worst 17-37, Merrifield's running might not come back, and he's not hitting well enough to help many fantasy managers without displaying some speed.

Espinal went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs in Tuesday's win against the Royals.

Espinal doubled and scored in the top of the second inning before later adding two singles and coming around to score again. He has now recorded multiple hits in five of his last six contests, going 12-for-24 with two homers, eight RBI and five runs over those contests. The hot stretch has his batting average up to .293 on the season while he has compiled five home runs, 27 RBI, 21 runs and three stolen bases over 188 at-bats in 55 games this year.

Arraez left Tuesday's loss to the Yankees in the seventh inning with right shoulder tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Arraez dove for a ball at first base and landed on his shoulder, which may have caused the discomfort. He was replaced by Jose Miranda at first base.

Gimenez is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rangers.

Gimenez went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a walk during Game 1, and he'll take a seat for the nightcap since lefty Taylor Hearn is on the mound for Texas. Ernie Clement will man the keystone in Game 2.

Urias (thumb) is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Phillies.

The 25-year-old sat out the past two games after leaving Friday's contest with a jammed thumb, but he'll rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's series opener. It should be Urias' final start at shortstop before shifting back to third base since Willy Adames (ankle/quadriceps) is expected to be activated from the injured list Wednesday.

Mendick will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Mendick will get a second consecutive look out of the leadoff spot while he starts at shortstop for the sixth time in the last seven games. He's gotten on bace at an excellent .444 clip since taking hold of a regular role May 31, so Mendick looks poised to hold down everyday at-bats until the White Sox get Tim Anderson (groin) back from the injured list.
