Moore went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

All three of Moore's homers have come over the last five games, and this was also his first multi-hit effort in the majors. He initially tied the game at 1-1 with a solo shot in the eighth inning before adding a walk-off blast in the 10th. The 22-year-old is now batting .194 over 12 games, adding four extra-base hits, six RBI, five runs scored, no stolen bases and a 2:14 BB:K. Moore continues to play regularly at second base as the Angels see what their top hitting prospect can do against major-league pitchers.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

Marte opened up the scoring with a solo blast to right center in the first inning. He now has homered three times over the last five games and has 15 hits in his last 26 at-bats. Marte currently owns a 1.032 OPS, which would sit third in all of baseball among qualified hitters behind Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh.

Vargas was removed from Tuesday's game against the White Sox with a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot.

Vargas took a pitch off his foot during the second inning of Tuesday's contest but remained in the game until the fourth. A trip to the injured list is likely in the 33-year-old's future, though there's currently no telling how long he'll be sidelined.

Lawlar has been absent from Triple-A Reno's lineup for the past three games due to a sore hamstring, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Lawlar has not been placed on the 7-day injured list, so Reno appears to be viewing him as day-to-day at this point. However, the injury could prevent Lawlar from being considered for a promotion in the event Eugenio Suarez's hand injury is worse than expected. Lawlar has gone 0-for-19 at the major-league level this season but boasts a .997 OPS with 10 home runs and 18 steals over 52 games with Reno.

Massey (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Massey has been shelved for the past two weeks with a sprained left ankle but is ready for game action. The 27-year-old is slashing a lowly .202/.221/.258 this season, and he had seen his playing time wane before getting hurt.

Castro (wrist) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

The veteran super-utility man hasn't seen the field since Saturday due to the wrist injury, which is an issue he initially played through before exiting the lineup. Castro had X-rays come back negative Sunday, though he'll still sit for a third consecutive game Tuesday. Kody Clemens is starting at second base while Harrison Bader handles left field for Minnesota.

Estrada (hand) will start at second base and bat fifth in Tuesday's game versus the Dodgers.

Estrada missed each of the previous five games with a bruised right hand, but he feels well enough to give it a go in Tuesday's series opener. The veteran infielder is slashing .288/.304/.424 with one home run in his first 16 contests with the Rockies.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Mets.

The steal was his seventh of the season and his first since June 1, but Albies' fantasy investors are more worried about his power drought. The veteran second baseman hasn't gone yard in 22 games, a stretch in which he's slashing just .183/.272/.244 with three doubles, a triple, five runs and five RBI. His average exit velocity in 2025 of 86.7 mph is his lowest mark since 2020 and ranks in the 11th percentile in MLB, while his hard-hit rate of 26.7 percent sits in the fourth percentile.

Vargas went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 10-0 win over the White Sox.

Vargas entered the game in the bottom of the first inning after Eugenio Suarez was hit on the hand in the top of frame. X-rays of Suarez's hand came back negative, but it would not be a shock if he's held back Tuesday. This was the fourth consecutive appearance for Vargas, who started the previous three games while giving both Suarez and second baseman Ketel Marte a break from the field. Vargas has hit safely in all four contests, going 7-for-17 with three extra-base hits, three RBI and three runs scored.

Tawa entered Monday's game at first base in the fourth inning and went 0-for-2. He replaced Josh Naylor (shoulder), who injured his right shoulder following an awkward swing in the second inning.

As the Diamondbacks were facing a right-hander, Pavin Smith was already in the game as the designated hitter, so Arizona manager Torey Lovullo went with Tawa. The manager told Casey Drottar of MLB.com that Naylor plans to return to the field Tuesday.
