Ji-Hwan Bae 2B | NYM
Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Out of lineup Tuesday
Bae is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.
Bae tallied his 18th stolen base of the season in Monday's series opener versus the A's, but he'll grab some pine Tuesday with Jack Suwinski starting in center field and Rodolfo Castro covering second base.

Jose Altuve 2B | HOU
Astros' Jose Altuve: Not starting Tuesday
Altuve (oblique) isn't starting Tuesday against the Blue Jays.
Astros manager Dusty Baker said Monday that Altuve isn't expected to return to the lineup until Wednesday, so it's not much of a surprise to see the star second baseman on the bench again Tuesday. While Altuve continues to heal, Mauricio Dubon will fill in at the keystone and lead off Houston's lineup.

Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Optioned to Triple-A

Royals' Michael Massey: Sitting versus lefty
Massey isn't starting Tuesday against the Marlins.
The Marlins will send southpaw Jesus Luzardo on the mound to start Tuesday's game, meaning the lefty-hitting Massey will begin in Kansas City's dugout. Matt Duffy will take Massey's place at second base and bat eighth.

Ji-Hwan Bae 2B | NYM
Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Racking up stolen bases
Bae went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base Monday against the Athletics.
Bae continues to hold a consistent strong-side platoon role in the Pirates' lineup, as he's started in 14 of the team's last 15 games against right-handed pitchers. He's had standout lines in each of the team's last two games, tallying three hits in seven at-bats while scoring a run, driving in two and swiping three bases. Bae has a decent .329 on-base percentage, which has helped him tally 18 stolen bases on 23 attempts for the campaign.

Christian Arroyo 2B | NYM
Red Sox's Christian Arroyo: Returns to action
Arroyo started at second base and went 1-for-2 with a double in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Rays.
Arroyo was back on the field for the first time since May 6. Back from his second hamstring injury of the season, Arroyo is expected to share second base duties with Enmanuel Valdez.

Luis Arraez 2B | SF
Marlins' Luis Arraez: Picks up three more hits
Arraez went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 9-6 victory over Kansas City.
Arraez is now 10-for-13 over his last three games and 15-for-27 (.556) in his previous seven, boosting his MLB-leading average to .399 -- 66 points higher than Toronto's Bo Bichette for second place. The 26-year-old is having a historic debut season in Miami, and despite slugging just one home run, he's maintained a .945 OPS thanks to his lofty batting average to go along with an 8.4 percent walk rate.
