Olson went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Mets.

The first baseman continued a power surge that has seen him leave the yard four times in the last six games and eight times in 24 contests since the All-Star break. Olson's up to 25 homers on the year, the fourth straight full season (not counting the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign) in which he's reached that plateau. With 79 RBI through 118 games, he's also on pace for his second straight 100-RBI season.

Abreu went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Astros.

Abreu has multiple hits in six of his last 10 games, batting .410 (16-for-39) in that span. The first baseman has just one extra-base hit, a double, in that stretch, and he's posted a 2:10 BB:K. Despite the lack of power, he's finding ways to remain productive. The 35-year-old is up to a .307/.382/.466 slash line with 14 home runs, 56 RBI, 64 runs scored and 28 doubles through 498 plate appearances.

Lowe went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Athletics.

The Rangers got seven hits from the Nos. 4-6 hitters, but it didn't lead to sustained rallies. Lowe has hit safely in seven straight games and has multiple hits in seven of 15 games in August. For the month, he's batting .400 (22-for-55) with five extra-base hits, lifting his season slash line to .291/.341/.463 through 111 contests. He's added 16 home runs, 49 RBI, 51 runs scored and two stolen bases.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a sacrifice fly in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

Goldschmidt has swatted three homers in his last five games. He's hitting .326 (14-for-43) in August, though a high average has been standard for the first baseman all year. He's up to a .328/.412/.618 slash line with 29 homers, 92 RBI, 81 runs scored and five stolen bases through 109 contests. The 34-year-old is on track to reach the 100-RBI mark for the first time since 2017.

Voit went 1-for-4 with one homer, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-5 extra-innings loss to the Cubs.

Voit crushed a fastball to left field in the eighth inning to pull the game to 4-3 before Lane Thomas hit a home run later in the inning, which helped the Nationals send the game into extras. The homer is Voit's 16th on the season and first since Aug. 8. While the Nationals' lineup is weaker than San Diego's, the first baseman has been given every day playing time and is hitting in the middle of the lineup, providing him ample run-producing opportunities.

Hoskins went 3-for-6 with two homers, five RBI and a stolen base Tuesday in an 11-4 victory in Cincinnati.

Hoskins singled and stole second in the first, launched a three-run homer in the fourth and added a two-run blast in the eighth. So far in August, he has a .265/.390/.653 line with six homers in 14 games. With 26 homers, he's likely to surpass his career-high of 34 long balls set in 2018.

Santana is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Lefty Jose Suarez is pitching Tuesday for the Halos, and Santana finds himself on the bench for the third time in the past four games. The switch-hitting first baseman has a .668 OPS through 12 games in August. The Mariners appear content to open up a full-time role for Sam Haggerty in the outfield while deploying Mitch Haniger as their primary designated hitter rather than the slumping Santana.

Naylor (ankle) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

The lefty-hitting Naylor finds himself on the bench against a right-hander (Garrett Hill) after hurting his right ankle in the second game of Monday's doubleheader. Owen Miller will spell Naylor at first base.

The Pirates have recalled Padlo from Triple-A Indianapolis, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports. He'll start at first base in Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, according to delos Santos.

Padlo reported to Indianapolis after being claimed off waivers by the Pirates earlier this month, but he will head to the big club, and take the roster spot of Ke'Bryan Hayes (back), who landed on the injured list in the corresponding move. Padlo owns a minuscule .411 OPS at the big-league level, but the Pirates are hoping a new setting leads to better results.

The Reds placed Solano on the paternity list Tuesday.

With the Reds having a day off Thursday, it's safe to assume Solano will be out until this weekend's series in Pittsburgh. The 34-year-old has slashed an impressive .310/.374/.434 with 16 RBI in 163 plate appearances this season.
