Arraez (shoulder) was spotted working out on the field Wednesday for the second day in a row, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Arraez looks to be making good progress in his recovery from a right shoulder strain, but the Twins haven't revealed a timeline for his return from the 10-day injured list, where he's resided since May 26. He'll likely require a multi-game rehab assignment in the minors before being activated from the IL.

Drury is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Jonathan Villar returned to the lineup in Tuesday's 10-3 loss after missing the previous four games with a hamstring injury, closing the door on Drury's path to an everyday role. After having recently started four times in five-game stretch, Drury will now be on the bench for the third time in four contests with Villar available again.

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.

Rojas isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Rojas will get a breather after he went 0-for-8 with five strikeouts across the past two games. Ildemaro Vargas will start at second base and bat ninth.

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.

Hoerner (hamstring) played catch and took some swings off a tee Tuesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list May 26 with a strained left hamstring, and Tuesday's light activities are a significant step in the right direction for his rehab. Hoerner remains without a clear timeline to return, and he'll likely require a rehab assignment before being activated.

Guillorme (oblique) will play a few more games at Triple-A Syracuse before an expected return to the Mets this weekend, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

It was reported Saturday that Guillorme was on track to return to the Mets at some point this week, and New York has now targeted the upcoming weekend series against the Padres for the infielder's activation from the injured list. He should be able to find a fair share of at-bats with Jeff McNeil (hamstring) and J.D. Davis (hand) still on the injured list.

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.

McNeil (hamstring) may start his rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse as soon as Friday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Once healthy, the versatile McNeil will be an invaluable addition to the Mets' injury-depleted roster, even if he underperformed (by his standards) with a .242 average before suffering the hamstring strain in May.

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.
