Arcia is not starting Tuesday against Atlanta.

Arcia heads to the bench for the third time in six games. Tyler Saladino again takes over at shortstop.

Wendle isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Wendle will bow out of the starting nine with a lefty (CC Sabathia) set to toe the rubber for New York. Mike Brosseau draws the start at the keystone and will hit third with Wendle riding the pine.

Mateo, who's slashing .301/.336/.521 with 46 extra-base hits (20 doubles, 13 triples, 13 home runs) and 62 RBI across 408 plate appearances at Triple-A Las Vegas, is nevertheless likely to remain with the Aviators until rosters expand in September, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old shortstop has clearly earned a promotion based on his numbers, but Gallegos reports that barring injury, Mateo will likely remain blocked from a promotion until rosters expand in September. Shortstop continues to be firmly in the grasp of Marcus Semien (career-best .272/.348/.451 slash line) at the big-league level, and the A's seem intent on giving Franklin Barreto a fair shake at second base.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Yankees on Monday.

Adames' multi-hit effort was his second over the first four games he's suited up for in the second half. The young shortstop's fantasy managers are looking for an offensive turnaround for Adames after he appeared to be trending upward as June concluded. The 23-year-old had boosted his average another 11 points to .253 during the month, but that number has been on a quick descent thus far in July. Even factoring in Monday's effort, Adames is just 7-for-45 in 11 games since the calendar flipped, already prompting a 14-point tumble in his average and a 21-point drop in his on-base percentage.

Diaz (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with a run scored for Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Diaz played seven innings at second base in the first game of his rehab assignment, which is expected to last between four and seven games. Given that he's already had a setback, the Astros want to give him time in the minors to play multiple positions and test the hamstring. The biggest test Monday was scoring from second base on a double.

Correa (ribs) went 0-for-3 while playing five innings at shortstop for Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Correa kicked off his rehab assignment with the Express on Monday. The plan calls for him to be activated July 26, the first day he's eligible to come off the 60-day injured list. In the meantime, Alex Bregman and Myles Straw will handle shortstop for the Astros.

Crawford went 6-for-9 with three home runs, nine RBI and four runs during a doubleheader against the Rockies on Monday.

In the first game, Crawford was 5-for-6 with a pair of long balls and eight RBI, as the Giants routed the Rockies, 19-2. His third homer of the day was much more important in the night cap, as the Giants won that contest, 2-1. The doubleheader performance did wonders for Crawford's numbers. He is now batting .240 with nine home runs, 39 RBI, 36 runs and two steals in 292 at-bats this season.

Diaz (hamstring) is expected to need between 4-to-7 games during his rehab assignment before being activated from the 10-day injured list, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Diaz started a rehab stint with Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, though he wasn't expected to play more than six innings. "With Diaz, we'll have to evaluate as the games compile," stated manager AJ Hinch. Hinch also mentioned that the length of Diaz's rehab assignment will likely depend on how often he's able to test his previously injured hamstring during games, per Jake Kaplan of The Athletic.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Mets.

After going 0-for-7 to begin the second half, Rojas rebounded with his 11th multi-hit effort in his last 20 games -- a stretch during which he's slashing .361/.396/.482. The 30-year-old doesn't offer much upside in counting stats, but he's proving to be a useful fantasy asset for rosters that need a batting average boost.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

Bogaerts extended his recent power surge with a 352-foot shot to left field in the eighth inning to bring Boston to within a run. The All-Star shortstop has now homered in his first three games following the break, knocking in six runs over that stretch. Overall, he is slashing .301/.389/.559 with 20 home runs and 71 RBI in 345 at-bats this season.
