Farmer isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Farmer returned to the lineup Tuesday and went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in the loss to Kansas City. However, he'll get a breather for Wednesday's series finale while Mike Freeman takes over at shortstop and bats ninth.

Machado went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Nationals.

Machado came around to score all three times he reached base and also delivered a go-ahead RBI single to right-center field in the fifth inning to complement his two doubles. The 28-year-old has had a nice run to end of the first half of the season, slashing .344/.404/.667 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 24 runs scored, three steals and a 12:12 BB:K across 27 games since June 7.

Sosa went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored Tuesday in a 6-5 win over San Francisco.

Sosa came into the contest without a hit in July, going 0-for-8 through four games. He turned things around with his second three-hit performance of the season. Sosa came through with a solo shot in the eighth inning for what proved to be the difference in the narrow win. The infielder is slashing .255/.335/.340 overall on the campaign.

Arenado went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-5 victory over the Giants.

The veteran third baseman got St. Louis off to a quick start, slamming a two-run homer in the first inning off Johnny Cueto. He went on to collect two more hits and stole second base in the seventh inning -- his first theft of the season on his first attempt since 2019. The long ball was his first in July and team-leading 17th overall on the campaign.

Segura went 4-for-6 with a double, two RBI and four runs scored in Tuesday's 15-10 win over the Cubs.

The second baseman played the table-setter role quite well Tuesday, and he was brought home each time he got on base. Segura added a two-RBI single in the seventh inning. He's gone 9-for-28 (.321) in seven games since he returned from a groin injury. The 31-year-old is slashing a strong .330/.383/.456 in 235 plate appearances, but he's added only three home runs, 23 RBI, 30 runs scored and six stolen bases.

Farmer went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to Kansas City.

Farmer sat out Monday's game with soreness described as "bumps and bruises" by manager David Bell. The infielder had little trouble at the plate Tuesday, as he launched his seventh homer of the season in the fourth inning. The 30-year-old had his second three-hit effort in the last five games, but he went 0-for-8 in three contests in between. Overall, Farmer is slashing .223/.292/.343 with 28 RBI, 27 runs scored and two stolen bases across 261 plate appearances.

Vosler was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Vosler will return to the majors after spending the past couple weeks at the Triple-A level. The 27-year-old has slashed .222/.276/.463 with three homers, four doubles, seven RBI, 10 runs and two stolen bases over 58 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Escobar (quad) is back in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.

Escobar did not start Saturday or Sunday due to the reemergence of the quad issue, though he was able to pinch hit in both games. He appears to be feeling better, as he'll bat third and man the hot corner Tuesday.

Newman isn't starting Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Newman had gone 3-for-24 with a solo home run and two strikeouts across the last six games. He'll get a breather Tuesday while Wilmer Difo starts at shortstop and bats sixth.

Kieboom (knee) was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list Monday, freelance baseball writer Byron Kerr reports.

Kieboom's knee injury has kept him sidelined since June 29, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action. His placement on the injured list will clear room on the Triple-A roster for Humberto Arteaga, who was outrighted to Triple-A Rochester as part of a corresponding move.
