Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.

Goldschmidt knocked a two-run single in the third inning and a solo shot in the fifth. This was the first baseman's fourth multi-hit effort in seven contests since the All-Star break, and he's swatted five homers in that span. For the season, the steady 34-year-old is up to a .332/.412/.611 slash line with 25 long balls, 81 RBI, 70 runs scored and five stolen bases through 97 games.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in a 3-1 win Tuesday in Tampa Bay.

Guerrero doubled and scored in the first and singled and stole third base in the third. After not stealing a base in his first 96 contests, he's swiped three bags in the last six games. He has a 13-game hitting streak going and has produced a .431/.491/.627 line in 57 plate appearances during the streak.

Kirilloff (right wrist inflammation) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Kirilloff has dealt with wrist issues for several years now, most notably in 2019, 2021 and much of this season. Perhaps this will be the last straw that will lead to another surgery (he tore ligaments in the right wrist in 2021). Max Kepler, Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach are all banged up as well, so the likes of Nick Gordon, Jake Cave, Kyle Garlick and Mark Contreras will be asked to pick up the slack.

Pratto isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the White Sox, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Hunter Dozier will play first base in Pratto's place. Pratto went 0-for-4 with a trio of strikeouts Monday, and he's struck out 13 times in 29 at-bats since the All-Star break.

Steer was traded from the Twins to the Reds on Tuesday along with Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Steven Hajjar in exchange for Tyler Mahle, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Steer, 24, was pretty firmly blocked at his best infield positions in Minnesota, so this is a nice bump for his fantasy value. He hit .269/.361/.528 with 20 home runs and a 17.0 percent strikeout rate in 388 plate appearances between Double-A and Triple-A. Steer has seen time at third base, second base, shortstop and designated hitter.

The Nationals acquired Voit, left-hander MacKenzie Gore, right-hander Jarlin Susana, outfielders Robert Hassell and James Wood and shortstop CJ Abrams from the Padres on Tuesday in exchange for outfielder Juan Soto and first baseman Josh Bell, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

San Diego initially planned to include Eric Hosmer as the veteran piece headed to the Nationals in the blockbluster deal, but Hosmer used his no-trade clause to decline the move to Washington. Hosmer was later shipped to Boston, and the Padres and Nationals kept the skeleton of the deal in place until Voit was swapped in for Hosmer as a replacement. With Washington, Voit should slot into the everyday role at first base that was vacated by Bell. The move from one of baseball's top teams to one of its worst may hurt Voit from a run-producing and run-scoring standpoint, but he should at least face less competition for at-bats in his new organization. Voit hit .225 with 13 home runs, one stolen base, 48 RBI and 38 runs in 82 games with San Diego this season.

France (wrist) remains on the bench Tuesday in New York.

It's unclear how much longer the wrist injury will keep France out of action. Once healthy, the 27-year-old and his .857 OPS will be an everyday staple in Seattle's lineup but until then, Carlos Santana will play first base while Kyle Lewis and others fill in at designated hitter.

Diaz isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Diaz went 2-for-13 with a home run and two RBI in the weekend series against Cleveland, capping off a July in which he slashed .330/.413/.511 with 18 RBI and 15 runs. Isaac Paredes will play third base Tuesday while Ji-Man Choi plays first.

Solano will serve as the Reds' designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Solano will draw his third consecutive start Tuesday, with the most recent two coming against left-handed pitching. As the Cincinnati roster is currently constructed, Solano looks to be a short-side platoon player, but a path to a full-time role could open up if the Reds move Brandon Drury prior to Tuesday's 6 p.m. ET trade deadline.

The Rockies recalled Montero from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Padres.

With Kris Bryant (foot) going on the injured list Monday, Montero will provide the Rockies with an extra right-handed bat, though he won't necessarily be thrust into a regular role in the lineup unless the Rockies deal away an everyday player or two ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. The corner-infield prospect has logged 35 plate appearances with Colorado this season, slashing .176/.200/.235 with a 42.9 percent strikeout rate.
