Dubon went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox.

Dubon had gone 3-for-24 with a double in his last 10 games since his previous multi-hit effort. The 28-year-old has slipped into a part-time role, though it's not strictly a platoon as the right-handed hitter continues to be included against same-handed pitchers. Through 191 plate appearances between the Astros and the Giants, he's slashing .220/.265/.329 with four home runs, 20 RBI, 23 runs scored and a stolen base this season. He'll likely continue to share center field with Jake Meyers and Chas McCormick.

Altuve went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox.

Altuve had been stuck on 19 homers for his last 21 games, going 21-for-73 (.288) with nine doubles in that span. He finally snapped the power drought with a fifth-inning solo shot to secure the fifth 20-homer season in his career. The second baseman has added a .280/.369/.507 slash line with 42 RBI, 65 runs scored, 10 stolen bases and 26 doubles through 434 plate appearances.

Frazier went 2-for-4 with a triple, two runs and two RBI during Tuesday's 8-2 victory against the Angels.

Frazier singled and scored during a sixth-inning rally before tripling in two valuable insurance runs and scoring again in the ninth. The multi-hit game marks the 30-year-old's fifth this month and he boasts a solid .269/.367/.365 slash line through 15 August games, though the triple was only his fourth extra-base hit in that span and he hasn't homered since July 13.

Andrus went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a hit-by-pitch in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

Andrus snapped a 12-game homer drought with his seventh-inning blast. He's up to eight long balls this season while slashing .237/.301/.373 with 30 RBI, 41 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 386 plate appearances. Andrus has seen his playing time slip a bit lately as the Athletics evaluate Nick Allen's play at shortstop. Considering the Athletics are far out of contention, Andrus could slip into a part-time role as the team finds more time for prospects to gain experience.

Manager Rocco Baldelli said after Tuesday's win over the Royals that Polanco (knee) underwent an MRI that "came back with good signals," and the second baseman is still considered day-to-day, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The 29-year-old was held out of the lineup Tuesday after suffering a knee injury during Monday's contest, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. Polanco seems unlikely to rejoin the lineup Wednesday, especially since the Twins have a scheduled day off Thursday, but a return for Friday's series opener versus the Rangers is more realistic.

Arraez went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Royals.

This was Arraez's fifth three-hit game in his last eight, a span in which he's racked up six doubles, four RBI and seven runs scored. The 25-year-old continues to lead qualified hitters with a .336 batting average. He's added 38 RBI, 64 runs scored, 22 doubles, one triple, six homers and four stolen bases through 103 contests.

Hoerner went 3-for4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's extra-innings win over the Nationals. He also stole a base.

Hoerner has been on fire this month, as he's now batting .380 in August with five extra-base hits and six RBI across 14 games. The shortstop has also stolen three bases this month and 13 for the season. Hoerner has been impressive, and the 25-year-old could be moving up fantasy draft boards heading into 2023.

Castro went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Guardians.

Castro batted cleanup and did his part, driving in half of the Tigers' four runs. All three of his hits came against Cleveland starter Zach Plesac. Castro is now batting a robust .282 for the season, and with Spencer Torkelson toiling in Triple-A, the former should continue to see regular playing time at first base for Detroit.

India (lower leg) went 1-for-4 with a solo homer Tuesday in an 11-4 loss against Philadelphia.

In his first appearance since last Thursday's Field of Dreams game, India knocked a solo shot and struck out in his other three plate appearances. It was his eighth homer of the year and first in August. India hit second Tuesday, marking the first time the 25-year-old started and didn't hit leadoff since June 4 of last season, ending a streak of 159 straight starts atop the Reds' lineup.

Chavis is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Boston.

Chavis is 1-for-14 with six strikeouts over his past four contests and will take a seat Tuesday for the second time in Pittsburgh's last three games. Kevin Padlo will start at first base and bat fifth in the series opener versus the Red Sox.
