Arozarena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Mariners' 3-1 loss to the Yankees on Tuesday.

Both teams were held scoreless through five innings, but Arozarena got the Mariners on the board in the sixth inning with a solo home run off Ryan Weathers. It was Arozarena's second long ball of August and 15th of the season, and he's inching closer toward reaching the 20-homer mark for a sixth consecutive year. He has an .816 OPS across 478 plate appearances, which is his highest in his last six seasons in the majors.

Rafaela went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and sacrifice fly during the Red Sox's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Rafaela put Boston on the board with a sac fly in the third inning before extending the Red Sox's lead to 3-1 in the fifth with a solo homer off Dylan Cease. Rafaela has gone deep eight times since the All-Star break and is up to 16 home runs on the year, tying his career high that he set in 2025. He is slashing .287/.324/.469 with 16 steals (in 23 attempts), 63 RBI and 47 extra-base hits across 480 plate appearances this season.

Abreu went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base during the Red Sox's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Abreu gave the Red Sox an early 2-1 lead by taking Dylan Cease deep to right-center field for a 370-foot solo homer. It was Abreu's sixth home run over his last 11 outings and 21st of the season, leaving him one long ball shy from matching his career-high mark that he set last year. He has a .794 OPS with eight steals, 64 RBI and 47 extra-base hits across 504 plate appearances this year.

Bateman went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Boston.

Bateman got the Blue Jays on the board with an RBI double in the third inning before tying things up at 3-3 in the fifth with a single to center field that brought Myles Straw home. Part of the Blue Jays' return for sending Kevin Gausman to the Cubs on Aug. 2 along with infielder Ty Southisene, Bateman has wasted no time in getting acclimated to his new team north of the border. He's gone 6-for-22 with three RBI through the first five games of his major-league career, and he figures to see regular playing time in center field over the final weeks of the season.

Greene exited Tuesday's game versus Cleveland in the third inning as a result of right hamstring tightness.

Greene was hit by a pitch on his right leg while leading off the bottom of the second frame, and it's possible that he tweaked his hamstring while running the bases during the inning. Greene can be considered day-to-day for the time being, and additional information on the injury will likely come following the conclusion of Tuesday's contest.

Greene (leg) was removed from Tuesday's contest against the Guardians in the third inning, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Greene took a 92.1 mph sinker from Cleveland right-hander Tanner Bibee off his right leg to open the bottom of the second inning, and he was ultimately able to stay in the game long enough to score on a one-out RBI double by Spencer Torkelson. Greene was then taken out of the game prior to the top of the third frame, and Ben Malgeri took over in left field. Greene will likely undergo imaging on the leg, and more information on his status will likely be provided in the near future.

Trammell is absent from Tuesday's lineup against the Giants.

Trammell will sit out the second game of a three-game set with the Giants after going 0-for-3 with two walks in Monday's series opener. Nelson Velazquez, who was recently claimed off waivers by the Astros, will take over in left field and bat sixth for Houston.

The Rangers selected Kelenic's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

After recently re-signing with Texas on a minor-league contract, Kelenic has returned to the big leagues to provide depth in the outfield. The 26-year-old has provided lackluster numbers over 69 plate appearances in the majors between the White Sox and Rangers this season, slashing .213/.304/.295.

Collins is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Collins is taking a seat after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in the series opener against the Dodgers on Monday. Tyler Tolbert gets the start in left field Tuesday and is batting seventh.

Soderstrom is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Rays.

Soderstrom will ride the pine for the second game of a three-game set against Tampa Bay after going 1-for-5 with an RBI double, a run scored and two strikeouts Monday. Zack Gelof will move over to left field and bat second for the A's.
