McNeil went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in a win over the Reds on Tuesday.

McNeil took Mike Minor deep for a solo shot in the fourth inning. The homer, a rare lefty-on-lefty long ball for McNeil, was his seventh of the year and second in the last five games. McNeil has now secured at least one hit in 12 games in a row, batting .429 with three home runs, eight RBI and nine runs over that stretch.

Rosario went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's victory over the Tigers.

Rosario doubled in the fourth inning before adding an RBI two-bagger in the sixth frame. He later singled and scored on a Oscar Gonzalez double in the eighth. The three-hit effort marked his third multi-hit performance of the month and the shortstop is batting .286 with three homers, three doubles, 10 RBI and six runs over eight games since the beginning of August.

Barreto was released by the Astros on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Barreto inked a minor-league deal with the Astros during the offseason and has been let go after posting a .162/.259/.274 slash line in 73 games at Triple-A Sugar Land. The 26-year-old has similarly struggled in the majors with a .549 OPS in 101 career games.

Andrus is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Andrus has sat against the past two right-handed pitchers Oakland has faced, and he'll do so again Tuesday with Shohei Ohtani on the mound for the Halos. Nick Allen will move to shortstop with Vimael Machin at third base and Jonah Bride at second.

Arraez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Arraez produced three hits in each of the past two contests and totaled three doubles, two RBI, two runs and a stolen base, but he'll take a seat Tuesday with lefty Julio Urias on the mound for Los Angeles. Jose Miranda will shift to first base while Byron Buxton rests his legs as the designated hitter.

Manager Alex Cora said Hernandez (hip) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Wednesday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Cora didn't specify which affiliate Hernandez will be joining, but because he's been sidelined since June 7 with a strained right hip flexor, he'll most likely stay on the rehab assignment through the weekend as he looks to regain his timing at the plate. Hernandez previously made a rehab appearance July 8, only to be pulled off the assignment at Triple-A Worcester after experiencing a setback. He appears to have responded well to the platelet-rich plasma injection he received shortly before the All-Star break. Once he's activated, Hernandez will likely supplant Jarren Duran as the Red Sox's everyday center fielder.

India (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting leadoff against the Mets on Tuesday.

India will return to the lineup after leaving Monday's loss early with a hamstring injury. Since the beginning of August, the second baseman has gone 5-for-26 with a double, two RBI and two runs over seven games.

Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 1-0 win over Oakland.

There was very little offense in the contest, as the teams combined for seven hits and one run. The only extra-base hit was Rengifo's first-inning, 434-foot solo homer, which stood up as the decisive run. Though the long ball was only his second in 32 games since the start of July, the infielder has been productive over that span, slashing .317/.348/.452 with nine doubles, 10 runs, 13 RBI and four stolen bases.

Stott is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Marlins.

Stott will sit for the first time since July 29, having gone 9-for-32 with a double, a triple, six RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base over his last eight straight starts. Edmundo Sosa will take over at shortstop and bat eighth against Miami.

Marte went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 3-0 win over the Pirates.

Marte helped give Diamondbacks closer Ian Kennedy some added cushion with two outs in the bottom of the eighth, when he poked a base hit past a diving Oneil Cruz to plate two runs. Though he often occupies a spot in the heart of the order for Arizona, Marte now has just three multi-RBI games since the beginning of July, and his production in other categories has been rather empty as well. Over the past five weeks, he's managed only six home runs, zero stolen bases and 18 runs while batting .252 over a 31-game stretch.
