Massey went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Tuesday's 10-8 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

Massey played a key role in the Royals' ninth-inning comeback with a two-run single. The second baseman has put together a solid August, batting .294 with two home runs, three doubles and nine RBI over 14 contests this month. He's up to a .230/.282/.373 slash line with 10 homers, five stolen bases, 39 RBI and 26 runs scored through 93 contests. Massey continues to hold an edge over Samad Taylor and Matt Duffy for playing time at the keystone.

Julien (hamstring) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Julien sat out Tuesday's 5-3 win due to the hamstring injury, but the day off was apparently all he needed to move past the issue. He'll settle back in as the Twins' table setter in the series finale after previously batting ninth in his most recent start Sunday against the Phillies.

India (foot) expressed dismay at how the Reds originally assessed his plantar fasciitis injury, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

At issue for India is how long the team had him abstain from running. At the time of his injury in late July, the club prescribed a week of inactivity. India began rehab work and suffered a setback, prompting a second MRI from a doctor in Los Angeles, which revealed a more significant tear, per MLB.com. The doctor said India should have taken two weeks off before beginning rehab. The infielder, who was scratched from a start July 29 then added to the injured list, was shut down for two weeks as of last Friday and feels he would have been back had he been initially shut down for two weeks.

Arauz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Pirates.

Making his second straight start at second base and batting seventh, Arauz took Colin Selby deep in the seventh inning -- his second homer in as many games -- as he went back-to-back with DJ Stewart. The Mets have shifted Jeff McNeil to right field for the moment to help cover the absence of Starling Marte (groin), which has opened the door for the team to take a longer look at Arauz. His track record doesn't suggest he'll take advantage, however, and through 226 big-league plate appearances since he made his debut with the Red Sox in 2020, the 25-year-old infielder is slashing .193/.265/.322.

Dubon went 1-for-4 with a run scored Tuesday against the Marlins.

Dubon entered the game in the first inning after Jose Altuve was forced to depart with a bruised knee. X-rays came back negative on the injury, though it's unclear if Altuve will miss any additional time moving forward. When Altuve has been sidelined previously this season, Dubon has stepped into the primary leadoff role, and if that remains the case, he'd be a strong source of potential runs and stolen bases.

Estrada went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Rays.

Estrada's sixth-inning blast off Zack Littell opened the scoring. Since he returned from a hand injury Aug. 5, Estrada has gone 12-for-42 (.286) with four extra-base hits and six RBI across 10 contests. He's reclaimed a starting role at second base, though he hit ninth Tuesday, just the second time he's been at the bottom of the order. For the year, he's at a solid .274/.326/.434 slash line with 10 long balls, 37 RBI, 48 runs scored and 18 stolen bases through 80 games.

Altuve left Tuesday's game against the Marlins due to a left knee contusion, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

After fouling the first pitch of Tuesday's game off his left leg, Altuve remained in the game to finish his at-bat, logged an infield single and was replaced at second base by Mauricio Dubon. X-rays on Altuve's knee came back negative, and the 33-year-old second baseman should be considered day-to-day going forward.

Altuve was removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins with an apparent injury, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Altuve fouled a ball off his shin during the first inning but stayed in the game to finish his at-bat and legged out an infield single. Mauricio Dubon entered the game in the bottom of the first inning in Altuve's place at second base. The fact Altuve was able to complete his plate appearance is a good sign that his injury isn't serious, but the Astros should offer more details in the near future.

Westburg isn't in the Orioles' lineup Tuesday against the Padres, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

After putting together a four-game hitting streak, Westburg will get a breather against Michael Wacha and the Padres on Tuesday. Ramon Urias will man third base while Westburg rests.

Julien is not in Tuesday's lineup due to a hamstring issue, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Julien is mired in a 1-for-16 slump, so manager Rocco Baldelli may just be looking to provide an extra day of rest as well. Jorge Polanco will shift to the keystone while Royce Lewis starts at third base.
