Red Sox's Christian Arroyo: Aiming for middle of road trip
Arroyo (hamstring) will not travel with the Red Sox for the start of their road trip this weekend but hopes to join the team a few days into it, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Arroyo has been going through workouts but needs to play in a rehab game or two before being activated. The Red Sox are in San Diego this weekend before then going to Anaheim and Arizona, and it sounds like the goal is to get Arroyo back for one of the latter two stops.

Red Sox's Enrique Hernandez: Sitting out again
Hernandez (hamstring) remains out of the Red Sox' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Hernandez hasn't played since Saturday because of a left hamstring injury. He was able to participate in some pregame drills Monday and at this point, the hope is he can avoid the injured list. Pablo Reyes is handling shortstop duties again Tuesday.

Adam Frazier 2B | LAA
Orioles' Adam Frazier: Hits fourth homer of season
Frazier went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Angels.
Frazier gave the Orioles a 2-1 lead with a two-run home run in the second, marking his fourth long ball of the season. He's hit safely in three straight appearances, but he's still slashing just .227/.324/.370 across 40 games (136 plate appearances). With Ramon Urias (hamstring) on the injured list, Frazier figures to get the bulk of starts at second base moving forward.

Josh Rojas 3B | KC
Diamondbacks' Josh Rojas: Emerging from slump
Rojas went 2-for-4 with a walk in Monday's 5-2 win over Oakland.
Rojas extended a hit streak to five consecutive games following a brutal 4-for-35 (.114) stretch from April 23 to May 10. Hitting enough has never been a knock on Rojas, so his bat should keep in the lineup most days. It was his work in the field in 2022 that eventually cost him playing time, but Rojas has shown improvement this season with eight outs above average at third base. At this point, he remains on the strong side of a platoon at the hot corner.

Jorge Polanco DH | NYM
Twins' Jorge Polanco: Homers, steals first bag
Polanco went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer, an RBI, three runs scored and a steal in Monday's 9-8 loss against the Dodgers.
Polanco singled, stole second and came around to score in the second inning. Polanco has not taken advantage of the new rules, as he had not even attempted to steal a base prior to Monday. The second baseman homered in the fourth off Noah Syndergaard, as a part of his three-hit night. Polanco is having a good season at the plate with an .816 OPS.

Nolan Gorman 3B | STL
Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Knocks in five runs in rout
Gorman went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs, five total RBI and a walk in Monday 18-1 victory versus the Brewers.
Gorman doubled in two runners to put St. Louis up 7-0 in the sixth inning, and he delivered a three-run homer to increase the lead to 12-1 in the eighth. He's now gone deep three times over his past five contests, batting .500 (7-for-14) with 10 RBI and six runs over that span. The hot stretch has boosted Gorman's slash line to .283/.379/.500 on the campaign, and he's added 10 homers, 33 RBI and three steals over 140 plate appearances.
