Arcia will sit Tuesday against the Padres.

Arcia was scheduled to sit Monday, but that game got rained out. He'll get the day off Tuesday instead, with Abraham Almonte again scheduled to start in left field.

Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a double and a walk in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Athletics.

Fletcher wasted no time getting back in the hit column after Sunday's goose egg, smacking a leadoff double against Cole Irvin. The 27-year-old reached base two more times but never scored as the Angels struggled mightily with runners in scoring position despite tallying eight hits. Fletcher remains one of the hottest hitters in all of baseball. He's logged multi-hit performances in eight of his last 10 games, raising his slash line to .316/.343/.399 with 24 extra-base hits, 38 RBI, 54 runs scored, four steals and a 15:40 BB:K over 373 plate appearances.

Correa went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 4-3 win over Cleveland.

Correa's been fighting a slump since early July, which was made worse by a stint on the COVID-19 injured list. Since a sixth-inning single July 4, the shortstop has gone 0-for-26 with 13 strikeouts. In the middle of that stretch, he was placed on the injured list. He confirmed to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com that he tested negative for the virus but was hospitalized and required intravenous fluids July 9. Correa said his timing has been off since coming back from the illness.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's loss to the Red Sox.

Bichette recorded an RBI in the bottom of the fourth inning on an infield single, but it would be the last time his team would score in the contest. He's now 18-for-50 (.360) with a home run, eight RBI and seven runs scored through 13 games in July.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double during Monday's 18-1 loss to the Nationals.

With the Marlins trailing 18-0 in the eighth, Rojas attempted to get things going with his fifth long ball of the year. Unfortunately, he accounted for all of Miami's offense in the lopsided loss. It was his fourth multi-hit night in the last six games, raising his season slash line to .276/.334/.419.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a triple and four RBI during Monday's 18-1 win over the Marlins.

After cranking out a long ball and a triple in the first two innings, Turner looked on pace to chase after his fourth career cycle. That was as close as he would get, capping off yet another monstrous performance at the plate. The shortstop now has 18 homers and three triples on the season to go with a .319/.370/.531 slash line.

Anderson isn't in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against Minnesota, Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Anderson will get the night off after going 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored earlier in the day. Danny Mendick bats ninth and gets the start at shortstop with Anderson riding the pine.

Crawford was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left oblique strain, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Crawford was sent for an MRI following Sunday's matchup, and the scan showed a mild oblique strain. Manager Dave Kapler expects Crawford to need between 10-to-14 days to make a full recovery, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Thairo Estrada, who is starting Monday night against the Dodgers, is expected to recieve the majority of the playing time at shortstop while Crawford is out.

Seager (hand) could be activated from the injured list as early as Wednesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said the 27-year-old is scheduled to be evaluated Tuesday, and the shortstop could rejoin the active roster Wednesday if the evaluation goes well. Seager has been sidelined since mid-May with a fractured right hand, and he's been recently taking part in simulated games. The Dodgers could opt to send him on a rehab assignment if they deem he's not quite ready for major-league action.

Crawford isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Crawford was dealing with a hamstring issue over the weekend, and while he was back in the starting lineup Sunday, it's unclear if the issue has flared up once again. Thairo Estrada gets the call at shortstop and bats eighth in Crawford's absence.
