Haggerty (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Washington.

The 28-year-old was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to a lingering left shoulder injury that has now been diagnosed as an isolated deltoid strain per the Associated Press, and he'll remain on the bench Tuesday despite Seattle's scheduled day off Monday. Haggerty still came off the bench Sunday and contributed a pair of stolen bases as a pinch runner, and he figures to be available Tuesday in a similar capacity.

Estrada was added to Tuesday's lineup after Brandon Belt (knee) was scratched, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Estrada was initially set to be a bench bat Tuesday, but now he'll play second base and bat sixth against the Tigers.

Massey is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.

Even with the Royals facing a righty (Zach Davies) and being down a man (Vinnie Pasquantino), Massey will head to the bench in favor of non-regular Ryan O'Hearn. Massey is hitting .233 with one home run and two doubles over his last 10 games.

Espinal is on the bench Tuesday versus Boston.

Cavan Biggio will start at second base in place of Espinal, who has gone 11-for-28 with a pair of doubles and three RBI in his last 10 games.

Stott isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

It appears to be a regular day off for Stott, who's posted an impressive .319/.347/.464 slash line in 18 games this month. Edmundo Sosa is starting at shortstop Tuesday.

Altuve (shoulder) is starting at second base and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Twins, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Altuve will be back in the lineup after he missed Sunday's victory over Atlanta while nursing a sore shoulder. After a hot stretch from late July to early August, the second baseman has batted just .188 with one home run, six RBI, seven runs and three stolen bases over 48 at-bats in his last 14 games.

Lowe will sit Tuesday against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe will be on the bench Tuesday as the Rays face left-hander Jose Suarez on the mound. Yu Chang will draw the start at second base and bat seventh versus Los Angeles.

Estrada isn't starting Tuesday's game in Detroit, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Wilmer Flores will play second base while Estrada, with his .647 OPS in his last 10 games, takes a seat.

Short is starting at second base and batting ninth Tuesday against the Giants.

After being recalled Tuesday, Short will draw the start at second base in place of Jonathan Schoop (ankle), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Short will be in the Tigers' starting lineup for the second time this season.

Andrus went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Monday against the Royals.

Andrus drove in a pair of runs on a single in the fourth inning and followed that up with an RBI double in the seventh frame. He has started all three games since joining the White Sox, collecting three hits in 12 at-bats. With Tim Anderson (hand) out until at least late September, Andrus should have a clear path to playing time.
