Marlins' Luis Arráez records a base knock, goes 2-for-4, to bring his batting average to .401
George Soriano - Optioned to Jacksonville The Marlins optioned Soriano to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Just four days after being promoted, Soriano will return to Triple-A. The 24-year-old reliver made one appearance in his latest stint -- a three-inning, 61-pitch performance in which he gave up one run on four hits and two walks while striking out three. A.J. Puk (elbow) will return from the injured list as Soriano's replacement.

A.J. Puk - Activated from injured list Miami activated Puk (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Puk will return to the Marlins' bullpen Tuesday night against the Royals after missing a little over three weeks due to a mid-May diagnosis of left elbow nerve irritation. He had been operating as Miami's primary closer prior to the IL stint and should eventually recapture a share of that role, though Dylan Floro probably remains worthy of rostering in most fantasy leagues as the situation unfolds.

Yuli Gurriel - Not starting Tuesday Gurriel isn't in the Marlins' lineup Tuesday against the Royals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact After breaking a brief three-game hitting streak Monday against the Royals, Gurriel will get a breather Tuesday. Garrett Cooper will fill in at first base and bat fourth.

Jorge Soler - Back in lineup Soler (thumb) will serve as Miami's designated hitter and bat second Tuesday against the Royals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact A sore thumb kept Soler out of Monday's contest, but one game will be all the 31-year-old slugger misses. Soler is in a bit of a slump at the plate lately, slashing just .158/.304/.211 over the past seven days.

Michael Massey - Sitting versus lefty Massey isn't starting Tuesday against the Marlins.
Impact The Marlins will send southpaw Jesus Luzardo on the mound to start Tuesday's game, meaning the lefty-hitting Massey will begin in Kansas City's dugout. Matt Duffy will take Massey's place at second base and bat eighth.
