  • Amed Rosario SS | NYY

    Guardians' Amed Rosario: Remains sidelined Tuesday

    Rosario (knee) isn't starting Tuesday against the Red Sox.

    Rosario will now miss a second consecutive start following his removal from Saturday's game against the Twins due to left knee soreness. While Rosario continues to recover, Gabriel Arias will take his place at shortstop and bat second.

  • 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.

  • Rockies' Harold Castro: On bench Tuesday

    Castro is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

    Alan Trejo will start at second base and bat eighth for the Rockies as the Giants try a bullpen game featuring opener John Brebbia. Castro should be an option off the bench.

  • 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.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Optioned to Triple-A

    Clement was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

    Clement was up with the big club for a couple weeks but managed to accrue just six plate appearances, reaching base twice. He'll return to Buffalo and hope to get another call from the big club.

  • Blue Jays' Santiago Espinal: Activated from injured list

    Espinal (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Espinal has been sidelined since late May because of a right hamstring strain but got through a few rehab games with no problems. He will return to a utility infielder role with the Blue Jays.

  • 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.

  • 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.
