The Mariners recalled Haggerty from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

The addition of Haggerty, who has played second base, shortstop and all three outfield spots between the majors and minors this season, will give Seattle some more versatility off the bench. The Mariners optioned corner infielder Kevin Padlo to Triple-A to clear room on the active roster for Haggerty.

Rosario went 4-for-8 with two RBI and a run scored across both halves of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Twins.

Rosario went 3-for-4 in the afternoon game, which included the game-winning hit, a two-run single in the eighth inning. He was a little quieter in the nightcap. His four hits paced the team in the doubleheader, as all other Guardians hitters combined for six hits across the pair of contests. The shortstop is slashing .282/.314/.380 with two home runs, 21 RBI, 37 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 10 attempts across 65 games this season.

Rodgers went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI on Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Rodgers delivered an infield single to drive in a run in the second inning and followed that up with an RBI sacrifice fly four frames later. He has tallied at least one hit in eight of his last nine games, also recording six RBI and four runs scored in that span. Rodgers continues to steadily improve his line, as he's now hitting .259/.308/.412 across 276 plate appearances on the season.

Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Gonzales (heel) has been participating in baseball activities while in a walking boot, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Gonzales isn't expected to shed his boot for another 7-to-10 days, but it's encouraging that he's been able to swing and play catch while in the boot. It seems likely that the 23-year-old will still be sidelined several more weeks, but he's made encouraging progress so far.

Chavis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Chavis will take a seat for the Pirates' second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher, and he looks as though he may be in danger of moving into a short-side platoon role. The lefty-hitting Josh VanMeter will replace him at first base Wednesday, and the rehabbing Yoshi Tsutsugo (back) will be another candidate to poach playing time from Chavis against right-handed pitching once Tsutsugo comes off the injured list.

Torres (wrist/ankle) is starting Wednesday's game against Oakland.

Torres was targeting a Thursday return to the lineup, but he'll ultimately start at second base and bat fifth in Wednesday's matchup. The 25-year-old left Sunday's game against Houston due to a mild ankle sprain, but his absence over the last few days was mainly due to a sore wrist that he's been dealing with for several weeks. However, he received a cortisone shot Monday and is now back to good health.

Marte went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Padres.

Marte once again served as the designated hitter as he works his way back from a hamstring injury. He was never tested on the basepaths, scoring easily from second base on Buddy Kennedy's double in the seventh inning and walking home from third base when Carson Kelly was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the eighth. This was the fifth straight game in which Marte served as the DH, and he's 4-for-15 with eight walks during that stretch.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double, a sacrifice fly and two additional runs in an 8-3 win over the Royals on Tuesday.

Semien had an excellent night at the plate and came just a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. His home run in the third inning off Jonathan Heasley pushed his total to eight, while the four runs he pushed across increased his RBI total to 32. Semien got off to a miserable start in his new Texas home this season, but he has put together a solid month of June that's included six home runs, a .270 average and six stolen bases. The proven veteran hitter appears to be finding a groove and could make a solid impact moving forward in line with his performances of years past.

India went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and one additional run scored in Tuesday's victory over the Cubs.

It's been a tough campaign so far for the Reds' second baseman and leadoff hitter. He missed significant time with a hamstring injury and has mostly struggled at the dish. India's most recent injury scare turned out to be minor -- he was plunked on the hand over the weekend but X-rays were negative. Last year's NL Rookie of the Year now has two homers and one stolen base to go along with a .227/.284/.330 batting line this season.

Hoerner went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's loss to the Reds.

All three hits were singles, and Hoerner failed to score any runs or record any RBI. Still, his batting average crept over the .300 mark, as he's now hitting a robust .304. The shortstop is more of a contact hitter at this point, and the 28-46 Cubs don't have a great lineup around him. That limits Hoerner's fantasy value, but he should remain a decent asset due to his regular playing time and ability to rack up hits.
