Brujan will join the Rays' taxi squad in Boston and could be called up from Triple-A Durham prior to Monday's series finale with the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Brandon Lowe (back) and Wander Franco (hamstring) are both banged up, so Brujan will be ready to join the roster in case either infielder is moved to the 10-day injured list. Brujan has gone 5-for-20 at the plate during his time with the big club this season.

Hernandez is starting in center field and batting sixth on Monday versus the Rays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

This is Hernandez's first start in the outfield since April. It could just be Red Sox manager Alex Cora wanting to get extra right-handed bats in there against Shane McClanahan, although it's worth noting that Hernandez has had some major issues with his throws from shortstop recently. Pablo Reyes will be at short Monday.

The Red Sox reinstated Arroyo (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll start at second base and bat ninth in the Red Sox's series finale versus the Rays.

Boston designated outfielder Raimel Tapia for assignment to open up room on the 26-man active roster for Arroyo, who recently wrapped up a six-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester. Now that he's healthy again, Arroyo will likely occupy the short side of a platoon at second base with Enmanuel Valdez.

Miller went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a steal in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Miller is now 8-for-9 in stolen base attempts, extending his career-high through just 44 games with the Brewers. He's continued to swing a hot bat as well, going 9-for-28 (.321) over his last seven games. The 26-year-old Miller has been playing regularly while moving between second base, third base and left field. He is slashing .319/.358/.475 with four homers, 20 runs scored and 17 RBI through 151 plate appearances.

Biggio went 0-for-3 with a walk and his second stolen base of the season in Sunday's win over the Mets.

While he didn't do anything with his bat, the 28-year-old utility player salvaged some fantasy value on the back half of a double steal with Whit Merrifield in the sixth inning. Biggio has seen an uptick in playing time the last couple weeks while Santiago Espinal (hamstring) has been on the shelf, and he's responded by batting .292 (7-for-24) over his last 10 games with two homers, one steal, four RBI and five runs.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a walk and two-run home run in Sunday's 8-5 loss to Atlanta.

Marte's two-run home run in the fourth was shaping up to be the game-winning hit, but Atlanta stunned the home team with a grand slam in the ninth to steal the victory. The homer was Marte's ninth in 56 games, which far outpaces the 12 hit over 137 games in 2022.

Albies went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Arizona.

Albies' only extra-base hit was a game-tying, two-run shot in the fourth inning. Sunday was his second four-hit performance of the year and it boosted his slash line to .257/.303/.473 with two steals and 24 extra-base hits through 59 games. The 26-year-old has produced four multi-hit performances while striking out just twice in his last 12 games.

Merrifield went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a steal in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Mets.

Merrifield got the scoring started Sunday with a two-run double off Kodai Senga in the second inning before swiping his 16th stolen base in the sixth. Merrifield has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball of late -- he's gone 22-for-57 (.386) over his last 16 games, boosting his slash line to .299/.349/.392 with two homers, 23 RBI and 28 runs scored through 212 plate appearances this season.

Manager Kevin Cash said Lowe sat out Sunday's game against the Red Sox due to a back injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 28-year-old was initially reported to be dealing with left leg discomfort after being scratched from Sunday's lineup, but the skipper clarified it's actually a back problem. According to

The Giants are expected to activate Estrada (wrist) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game in Colorado, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 27-year-old infielder is on track to return from the IL after a minimum-length stay due to a sore left wrist. Estrada didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, but he must have demonstrated enough progress in his recent workouts for the Giants to feel confident that he'll be ready to go for the upcoming series in Colorado. Once activated, Estrada will likely displace Brett Wisely as the Giants' primary option at the keystone.
