Gorman is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Miami, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

The Cardinals are facing a lefty for the second day in a row and Gorman has been on the bench for both of those contests. He did get an at-bat late in Monday's game, so perhaps he'll come off the bench again in this one.

Donovan is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Miami, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

The Cardinals are facing a left-hander for the second day in a row, but Donovan has now sat out four of the last five contests while dealing with an arm issue. However, there's been no indication to this point that it could be an injured list situation.

Massey (hand) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Massey wound up missing a little more than two weeks with a left hand laceration. The infielder had slowed back down in June following a resurgent May, so hopefully he will be able to right the ship in July.

Julien is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Royals.

It marks the third game in a row that Julien begins on the bench, but unlike the first two contests, this time it will be with a right-hander on the hill and in the wake of Julien homering off the bench during Monday's win over Kansas City. Donovan Solano will cover second base Tuesday.

Semien went 0-for-5 with a stolen base in Monday's 12-11 loss to Houston.

Semien stole his second bag in three games following a 43-game stretch during which he did not attempt a theft. He's routinely been a double-digit stealer during his career and is now up to nine stolen bases over 85 games in 2023.

Julien went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-4 victory versus Kansas City.

Julien began the game on the bench with lefty Austin Cox starting for the Royals, but the rookie second baseman seized the opportunity when called upon to pinch hit in the eighth, launching a 413-foot solo homer to break a 3-3 tie. The long ball was his first since May 27, a span of 24 games, and it also resulted in just his second RBI over that span. Julien has had an up-and-down first big-league season, slashing .254/.336/.443 with five homers, 10 RBI, 16 runs and one steal over 141 plate appearances. He's posted a solid 10.6 percent walk rate but has also struck out in 34.0 percent of his trips to the plate.

Rosario went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 4-2 loss to Atlanta.

Rosario delivered a two-run single in the seventh inning, but that was the extent of the Guardians' scoring. The shortstop has multiple hits in three of his last four games, and he's batting .354 over his last 15 contests. That hot stretch has him up to a .261/.307/.347 slash line with one home run, 28 RBI, 38 runs scored and nine stolen bases through 77 games.

Rengifo went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Monday's 10-3 loss to the Padres.

With the Angels bolstering their infield in June, Rengifo's lost most of his paths to everyday playing time. He drew the start in right field Monday, then moved to shortstop mid-game. The 26-year-old's defensive versatility will keep him in the mix as cover for multiple positions, but his .215/.303/.327 slash line through 72 contests has done little to earn him more time. He's added five homers, 22 RBI, 29 runs scored and five stolen bases over 234 plate appearances.

Caballero recorded two stolen bases and scored one run in Monday's 6-5 win over the Giants.

Caballero ran for Mike Ford in the ninth inning and proceeded to steal second and third before scoring on a J.P. Crawford sacrifice fly. He's been on the bench to begin two of the Mariners' three games in July, so it appears Caballero's playing time could be on the decline. Caballero is 13-for-15 on the basepaths while adding three home runs, 19 RBI, 20 runs scored and .239/.375/.358 slash line through 54 contests.

Wisely was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game against the Mariners, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Wisely will take the roster spot of Thairo Estrada, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a fractured hand. Wisely provides the Giants with plenty of versatility, as he's drawn starts at second base, third, shortstop and in left and center field so far this season.
