Urias (hamstring) is starting at second base and hitting cleanup Tuesday against the Mets.

He has had a couple minor injuries recently, dealing with a thumb injury at the beginning of the month and then this hamstring issue that popped up Sunday. Urias hasn't had a multi-hit game since May 23 and is hitting .131 with three home runs over his last 17 games.

Espinal is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Orioles.

Espinal has quietly been very productive this season, especially lately, as he is hitting .380/.426/.640 with three home runs in 12 games this month. Cavan Biggio will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

Stott will sit Tuesday against the Marlins.

Stott started the last 11 games, with four of those games coming against southpaws. Yairo Munoz was called up Tuesday and will start against lefty Trevor Rogers, though that isn't necessarily a sign that Stott will slip into a platoon role going forward.

Torres (illness) will start at second base and bat fifth in Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Torres missed Sunday's series finale with the Cubs while he was dealing with an upset stomach, but the Yankees didn't miss his services in their 18-4 trouncing of Chicago. With the benefit of sitting Sunday coupled with a team off day Monday, Torres should be back to full strength as the Yankees open a six-game week.

Brujan is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Brujan will give way to Isaac Paredes at the keystone after starting in each of the Rays' last six games while going 5-for-22 with a home run, a double, a stolen base and five RBI. Though the 24-year-old switch hitter is slowly starting to settle in at the plate, he's still maintaining a poor .157/.206/.236 slash line at the big-league level in 2022.

Atlanta placed Albies (foot) on the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Albies' placement on the 60-day IL comes as little surprise after he was diagnosed with a fractured left foot shortly after exiting Monday's 9-5 win over the Nationals. A timeline for his return likely won't become available until a decision is made regarding whether Albies will require surgery, but even if he avoids a procedure, he'll be sidelined for a minimum of two months as a result of Tuesday's transaction. Phil Gosselin was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to take Albies' spot on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, but David O'Brien of The Athletic expects Orlando Arcia to get the first crack at replacing Albies as Atlanta's everyday second baseman.

Dubon went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base Monday against the Rangers.

Dubon drew a start in center field with lefty Taylor Hearn on the mound. He did all of his damage in the second inning, when he singled in a run, stole second base and then came around to score. Dubon hasn't earned consistent playing time since joining the Astros, though he has started five out of eight games against left-handers with his new club. He hasn't done much to make the case for a larger role, as he's maintained a 59 wRC+ and .246 wOBA across 85 plate appearances on the season.

Chavis went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday against the Cardinals.

Chavis took Zack Thompson yard in the fifth inning to record his sixth home run of the season. It was also his fourth multi-hit effort in his last 11 starts, which has helped him record a .244 average in that span despite striking out at a 31.9 percent clip. Chavis has maintained a .327 wOBA and 111 wRC+ across 169 plate appearances on the campaign, and he should be locked into the starting first base role so long as Yoshi Tsutsugo (back) is sidelined.

Drury went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Monday's 5-4 win over Arizona.

Drury came up with the game's biggest hit in the fifth inning, smoking a 404-foot homer to left field to plate three runs and tie the score. The long ball was his 12th of the campaign and fourth in his past nine games. Drury has been swinging a hot bat in June, batting .413 (19-for-46) over 46 at-bats.

Donovan went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-5 win over the Pirates.

Donovan sparked the Cardinals' sixth-inning rally with a two-run double before scoring on a Dylan Carlson game-tying home run. Through 12 games in June, Donovan has stayed hot, going 16-for-46 (.348) with five doubles and eight RBI. The rookie utility man is up to a .310/.424/.431 slash line with a homer, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored, 11 doubles and two stolen bases in 41 contests this year. His versatility on defense and hot bat should allow him to continue pushing for consistent playing time even with only Corey Dickerson (calf) unavailable among the Cardinals' regular position players.
