McGonigle went 4-for-5 with a walk, four runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 14-0 rout of the Orioles.

The star rookie found his way home in the first, second, fourth and seventh innings as Detroit put at least one run on the board in every frame. McGonigle has banged out multiple hits in three straight games, and over 11 contests since the All-Star break he's batting .333 (15-for-45) with two doubles, a homer, two RBI and eight runs.

Crawford will start at shortstop and bat ninth Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Crawford was initially in line for a day off Tuesday, but he'll now join the starting nine to replace Colt Emerson (undisclosed). Crawford has had a poor start to the second half, going just 3-for-19 at the plate over his last seven games.

Emerson (undisclosed) was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

The Mariners haven't announced why Emerson was removed from the starting nine, but the team should provide an explanation in the near future. In the meantime, J.P. Crawford will fill in at shortstop and bat ninth.

Crawford is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Crawford is taking a seat after playing in the last three games of a four-game series versus the Rangers that concluded Monday. He went 2-for-10 with two RBI and a double in the three games. With the 31-year-old sitting Tuesday, Weston Wilson has the start at third base and is batting eighth.

Caballero is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the White Sox.

Caballero is 1-for-18 with nine strikeouts over his last five games, so he'll get a day to regroup. Anthony Volpe is covering shortstop for the Yankees.

The Tigers activated Baez (ankle) from the 60-day injured list, and he's starting in center field and batting ninth Tuesday against the Orioles.

Baez has been sidelined three months due to an ankle sprain but is now back on the active roster after completing a four-game rehab assignment. The 33-year-old should see regular playing time between center field and shortstop for the Tigers.

Walls (fingers) will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Tuesday's game versus the Rangers.

Walls missed four games with two hyperextended fingers on his left hand, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Tuesday's series opener. The slick-fielding, light-hitting shortstop is slashing just .223/.313/.296 with zero home runs and 15 stolen bases for the Rays this season.

Seager (back) is beginning a rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

The veteran shortstop progressed to "higher-volume" live batting practice the past few days, clearing the way for him to see his first game action in nearly a month due to back inflammation. Seager may not need much action in the minors before rejoining the Rangers, so he could be back from the injured list before the end of the week.

Manager A.J. Hinch said that he expects Baez (ankle) to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

The 33-year-old has been sidelined due to an ankle sprain since late April, but he's ready to rejoin the Tigers after a four-game rehab assignment, during which he went 6-for-12 with three doubles. Baez had a .256/.280/.397 slash line through 24 games prior to the injury. He made starts at center field and shortstop during the rehab stint, which provides an indication of where he'll be spending most of his time on the big-league club.

Monasterio went 1-for-3 with a walk and a double in Monday's 4-2 win over the Athletics.

Monasterio started a fifth consecutive game at shortstop and extended a hit streak to nine contests, during which he's 12-for-26 (.462) with six walks, six doubles, one triple, one home run, five RBI and five runs scored. Even before the Red Sox optioned Tsung-Che Cheng back to the minors over the weekend, Monasterio had taken hold of the shortstop spot. It should be his until Trevor Story (sports hernia) is ready to return at some point in August.
