Martinez started in center field and went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to Arizona.

Martinez, who made his second start in the last five games, has experienced a dip in playing time due to the recent promotion of prospect C.J. Kayfus. Martinez's sputtering bat may limit his plate appearances further going forward. Tuesday's multi-hit effort was his first since July 22; he entered the game with a .111/.211/.175 slash line along with two extra-base hits and two RBI over the previous 20 contests.

Bellinger went 4-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 13-3 win over the Rays.

Tuesday marked Bellinger's 17th career multi-homer game and his second of the year. The veteran outfielder also registered his first four-hit performance of the campaign, and he remains a steady producer in the heart of the Yankees' lineup. Over his last 39 contests (158 at-bats), Bellinger is batting .278 with 19 extra-base hits, 32 RBI, 28 runs scored and two stolen bases.

Pereira went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base Tuesday against the Yankees.

Pereira was recalled by the Rays Aug. 11 and made his third consecutive start Tuesday with Josh Lowe (oblique) sidelined. He has only three hits across 19 at-bats since his promotion, but he could be a decent source of steals if he continues to find playing time.

Adell went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Reds.

Adell lifted his homers in the seventh and eighth innings, with the latter long ball tying the game briefly at 4-4. The outfielder has gone deep three times over his last three games. He's up to 28 homers, 78 RBI, 49 runs scored and three stolen bases over 119 contests. Adell is still batting just .233, but his .777 OPS is easily the best mark of his career.

Canzone (arm) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

The 28-year-old had X-rays come back negative after being hit by a pitch during Monday's game against the Phillies, and he'll be held out of the lineup for at least one game. Dylan Moore will receive a start in right field Tuesday in place of Canzone.

The Orioles outrighted Adams to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

He's no longer on the 40-man roster, but Adams has accepted an outright assignment and will remain in the organization as outfield depth. The 25-year-old went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts in 10 games during his brief time with the big club this season.

Major League Baseball announced Tuesday that Robles received a 10-game suspension for throwing his bat in a Triple-A rehab game Sunday, and he is expected to appeal the ban, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Robles has gone 5-for-15 with two doubles during the rehab assignment, but he was also hit by three pitches before the inciting pitch that struck him Sunday, which was ruled a strike since he swung the bat. The suspension, whether it remains at 10 games or is reduced, won't begin until the outfielder is activated from the injured list. The Mariners will have to play a man down during the ban, so the club seems likely to wait until MLB rosters expand Sept. 1 before reinstating Robles.

Clarke has been shut down from baseball activities after he was diagnosed Tuesday with a Grade 2 right adductor strain, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Clarke recently suffered a setback while on a rehab assignment, and his new strain is in a slightly different spot than the one that initially sent him to the 10-day injured list in late July. The rookie outfielder is without a timeline for a return.

Rafaela is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Rafaela is just 5-for-42 (.119) over his last 12 contests, so he'll get a day to regroup. Romy Gonzalez will occupy second base and Jarren Duran will patrol center field for the Red Sox.

The Yankees reinstated Rosario (collarbone) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

The utility man is returning from the injured list after missing just the 10-day minimum due to a collarbone SC joint sprain. Rosario likely won't be a consistent presence in the lineup since New York's starting infield is currently healthy, but he should still see semi-regular playing time.
