Drury went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 10-inning loss at Tampa Bay.

Drury's three-run shot during the second inning helped the Blue Jays jump out to an early 6-0 lead, but starter Trent Thornton was unable to preserve it for long. Drury has looked much better since the All-Star break with a .266/.294/.516 slash line and five home runs in 18 games.

Torres was removed from Tuesday's game at Baltimore due to "core pain," Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Torres was pulled from the contest after striking out during the third inning, and it appears to be the same issue that sent him to the hospital Sunday night. According to Lindsey Adler of The Athletic, the 22-year-old will return to New York to undergo additional testing, so he'll be out of the lineup for at least a day or two.

Torres was removed from Tuesday's game at Baltimore in the third inning, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

Torres struck out during the top of the inning and did not retake the field for the bottom of the frame. The Yankees have yet to announce an official injury. The 22-year-old was taken to the hospital Sunday night with a core issue, though he remained in the lineup the past two days.

Lowe (shin) is making good progress and will field groundballs Tuesday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Lowe has been out of action for over a month with a bruised shin but finally appears to be closing in on a return. He's been fielding grounders in the last few days and finally feeling better after several weeks without any real progress. His target return date remains unclear.

Rosario isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

Rosario went 3-for-9 with a solo blast during Monday's doubleheader, earning himself a day off. Adeiny Hechivarria draws the start at shortstop and is set to hit seventh with Rosario out of the equation.

McNeil (calf) is starting in right field and leading off Tuesday against the Marlins, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

McNeil exited the second half of Monday's doubleheader with cramps in his right calf, but as expected, he'll be ready to roll for Tuesday's clash. He leads the Mets with a .337 average over 99 games this season.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Making his first career start in the big leagues, Diaz turned on a Jacob deGrom offering in the sixth inning for his first MLB hit and home run. The 23-year-old also got the nod at second base in the nightcap and was less successful, going 0-for-3 with a walk, but that usage is a clear sign the Marlins are going to give Diaz a long look at the keystone, at Starlin Castro's expense.

The Mets expect McNeil (calf) to return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

McNeil started in both ends of the Mets' doubleheader sweep Monday, going 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a pair of walks and an additional run before exiting the latter contest with a right calf cramp. After getting some time to rest up and properly hydrate, McNeil looks like he'll be good to handle his usual duties atop the batting order. Expect McNeil to see more action at the keystone than in the corner outfield for the final two months of the campaign after Robinson Cano (hamstring) was shut down Monday with a likely season-ending injury.

Rosario went 3-for-9 with a solo home run, two additional runs scored and a stolen base across both games of Monday's doubleheader sweep of the Marlins.

The shortstop hit second in both games, and with Robinson Cano (hamstring) now out of the picture, Rosario could well remain in a prime spot in the batting order for the rest of the season. Monday's output gives him 12 homers and 14 steals on the year, and he's slashing a dazzling .360/.400/.562 in 23 games since the All-Star break.

Semien went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in the Athletics' 6-5 defeat to the Cubs on Monday.

Semien was the only member of the Oakland lineup who could solve Kyle Hendricks, as he launched a two-run blast in the third inning for his team's only hit of the day against the right-hander. He also added a solo shot in the eighth inning off Steve Cishek, giving him 19 long balls on the season. The 28-year-old shortstop is logging an excellent campaign at the dish, as he's now slashing .274/.362/.474 across 519 plate appearances.
