Hoerner went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Twins. He also stole a base.

Hoerner reached 20 stolen bases in a season for the third straight year as he continued his strong recent play. Over his last 10 games, the infielder is batting .302, and he's swiped six bases in that span. Hoerner isn't a huge power threat with just four home runs on the season, but he can be an effective fantasy asset when he's reaching base and running often.

Stott isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

The left-handed bat of Stott will step out of the lineup Tuesday as the Phillies face southpaw Clayton Kershaw. Edmundo Sosa will step in to cover second base while batting ninth.

Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia.

Lux will take a seat Tuesday as the Dodgers prepare to face left-hander Cristopher Sanchez and the Phillies. Amed Rosario will fill in at second base and bat fifth.

McNeil isn't in the Mets' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Rockies.

With lefty Kyle Freeland slated to throw the first pitch for Colorado, the lefty-hitting McNeil will step out of the lineup Tuesday. Jose Iglesias will fill in at the keystone and bat sixth.

Brujan is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Brujan drew the start in center field Monday -- a position he could see regular work at moving forward -- but he'll take a seat Tuesday in favor of Cristian Pache. The pair are likely to share center field duties, but Derek Hill could mix in at the position.

Garcia went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Giants.

The 24-year-old second baseman came into 2024 with just 13 career stolen bases in the majors, but Monday's pilfer was his 18th in 21 attempts this season. Garcia's on pace for career highs nearly across the board in a breakout campaign, slashing .290/.324/.459 through 97 games with 13 homers, 40 runs and 53 RBI, and he's been blazing hot of late -- over his last 24 games, he boasts a .395/.435/.686 slash line with six long balls and seven steals.

Brujan went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's loss to the Reds.

Getting the start in center field and batting eighth, Brujan made little impact at the plate, but his arrow is pointed up for fantasy purposes. The 26-year-old switch hitter is batting .231 (6-for-26) since the All-Star break with three doubles, a steal, an RBI, five runs scored and a 6:7 BB:K, and with Nick Gordon booted off the roster, Brujan will compete with Cristian Pache and Derek Hill for playing time in center field.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-6 win against the Guardians.

Marte took Logan Allen deep in the very first pitch of the game. It was Marte's fifth leadoff homer this season, which trails only Kyle Schwarber and Gunnar Henderson for most this season. Marte has been on a tear over his last 13 games with nine home runs and 21 RBI in that span. The 30-year-old is putting together another stellar campaign, hitting .300/.366/.557 with 28 home runs and 78 RBI through 108 games.

McNeil went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Monday's 6-0 win over the Cardinals.

McNeil took Shawn Armstrong deep in the sixth inning to continue his sudden surge at the plate. The veteran is hitting .348 with five home runs and 16 RBI over his last 20 games. McNeil has now reached double-digit home runs in each of his last two seasons after not doing so since 2019. The Mets will head to Coors Field on Tuesday, although they are scheduled to face two lefties in the three-game series, and McNeil has been mostly playing against righties.

Acuna (foot) came off the bench and went 0-for-1 while playing four innings at shortstop Saturday in Triple-A Syracuse's 7-1 loss to Columbus.

Acuna was scratched from the lineup ahead of Thursday's game versus Columbus due to a foot injury, and while he has yet to return to the starting nine, his ability to enter the game off the bench Saturday suggests he'll avoid a trip to the 7-day injured list. The 22-year-old infielder is hitting .262/.311/.357 with five home runs and 31 stolen bases over 98 games with Syracuse this season.
