Lux went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a 4-0 victory against Milwaukee on Monday.

Lux's sixth-inning homer to left field put the final insurance runs on the board for Los Angeles. It was his second long ball in three days following a 22-game stretch without going deep. Lux's .296 season batting average is impressive but comes with only six homers. He'll see his fantasy value jump down the stretch if he's able to continue unlocking more power.

Semien went 2-for-4 with one homer, one RBI and one run scored in Monday's win over Oakland.

After going hitless in his previous nine at bats, Semien returned to form with a two-hit effort Monday, including a solo home run in the third inning. The home run is his 18th on the season and keeps him on track for his first career 20/20 season. (Semien has 19 steals.) The veteran second baseman is now slashing .238/.296/.406 over 114 games this season.

Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in a loss during Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against Detroit.

Gimenez knocked a two-run shot during Cleveland's three-run fourth inning. He went 4-for-8 with two home runs, a double and five RBI during Monday's doubleheader, improving his season slash line to an impressive .312/.377/.503 through 104 games. Since the start of August, Gimenez has gone 20-for-48 (.417) with seven steals, five extra-base hits and eight strikeouts through 13 games.

Polanco was removed from Monday's game against the Royals after banging his knee on a slide at the plate, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

This appeared to be a precautionary move by the Twins, though Polanco will likely be checked out by trainers Tuesday to determine his status for the second game of the series. Nick Gordon or Luis Arraez could get a look at the keystone if Polanco is unable to go Tuesday.

Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against Detroit.

Gimenez broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the seventh with his 13th homer of the 2022 campaign. He's now batting .431 in August with five RBI, eight runs scored and seven stolen bases (13 games).

Guillorme will miss at least three weeks with a left groin strain, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

There were conflicting reports on exactly how much time Guillorme will miss, but he will be out of action until at least sometime in September. Guillorme was placed on the injured list Monday night and was replaced on the roster by Deven Marrero, who along with Eduardo Escobar will handle the hot corner until Guillorme is ready to return.

India (lower leg) was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Phillies, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

India has missed the last three games due to a lower leg injury and was initially slated to return to the lineup Monday. While the Reds haven't yet provided a reason for removing him from Monday's lineup, it seems likely that he needs at least another day to recover from his lower leg issue. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but Matt Reynolds will take over at the keystone and bat sixth.

Andrus started the last two games and went 2-for-8 with a double, a run and two strikeouts. Nick Allen will shift to shortstop while Jonah Bride starts at second base Monday.

Sosa isn't starting Monday against the Astros, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Sosa is out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games after he went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts Sunday against the Tigers. Leury Garcia is starting at shortstop and batting ninth.
