Candelario went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Candelario has now left the yard three times in the past two days and on four occasions since the All-Star break, nearly matching his home-run total from the entire first half of the season (six). The 28--year-old's recent power surge has allowed him to reclaim everyday duties at third base after he appeared at risk of losing the job to Willi Castro heading into the break.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Red Sox.

Ramirez was on the front end of a double steal with Josh Naylor in the fourth inning. This was Ramirez's first steal since July 10, and he's now 14-for-18 on the basepaths this year. The All-Star third baseman has hit .266 (21-for-79) in July, and he's slashing .289/.367/.567 with 19 home runs, 79 RBI and 55 runs scored through 92 contests overall.

McMahon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the White Sox.

McMahon got the Rockies on the board in the ninth inning, but they couldn't muster a tying run. The infielder had gone 0-for-13 with eight strikeouts in his first three games since the All-Star break, so it's a positive sign to see him hit one out. For the season, he's up to eight homers, 42 RBI, 38 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .237/.331/.375 slash line in 93 contests.

Manager Bob Melvin said Machado tweaked his left ankle "a little bit" during the 10th inning of Tuesday's win over the Tigers, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Machado apparently suffered the injury when stepping on first base as he reached via an error as the second batter of the 10th inning, though he remained in the game and eventually came around to score. The 30-year-old will be evaluated further Wednesday. San Diego has a scheduled day off Thursday, so the team could opt to rest Machado on Wednesday to give him two full days of rest ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Twins.

Paredes went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Orioles.

Paredes singled in the first inning before later taking Spenser Watkins deep for a solo shot in the top of the fourth frame. The homer was his 14th of the year and first in 14 games. After a red-hot stretch from June 20-July 5 over which he launched eight homers and drove in 16 runs, Paredes has gone 5-for-40 with just two extra-base hits and one RBI over his last 11 contests. Overall, the 23-year-old is batting .224 with 14 homers, 29 RBI and 29 runs in 174 at-bats over 54 games in his first season with the Rays.

Urias went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rays.

Urias launched a two-run homer off Colin Poche in the bottom of the eighth inning, giving the Orioles a 4-3 lead. The long ball was his 11th of the season and second in five games since the All-Star break. Urias now owns a eight-game hit streak and he's secured at least one hit in 10 of his last 11 contests. Since returning from the injured list July 4, the 28-year-old is batting .397 with five homers, 18 RBI and 11 runs over 58 at-bats in 17 games.

Maton (shoulder) was activated from the injured list and optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

After completing a lengthy rehab assignment, Maton is ready to resume playing on a regular basis. He will not immediately rejoin the Phillies, though, and will instead continue playing with Lehigh Valley for the time being.

Arenado (personal) was placed on the restricted list Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Arenado is one of three Cardinals on the 26-man active roster who won't be eligible to play in the two-game series in Toronto due to his vaccination status. He will be reinstated Friday when the team returns to the U.S. and faces the Nationals on the road. Conner Capel was called up from Triple-A Memphis to replace Arenado on the active roster for the time being.

Hayes went 2-for-4 in Monday's loss to the Cubs.

Hayes has at least one hit in 11 of his last 12 starts, good for a .292 average across 53 plate appearances. He's chipped in two steals over that span but otherwise has tallied just three RBI and four runs scored. For the season, Hayes is hitting .251/.324/.351 across 377 plate appearances.

Candelario went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 12-4 win over San Diego.

Candelario knocked a solo shot off of Sean Manaea in the fourth inning followed by a two-run homer against MacKenzie Gore in the fifth. He's gone deep four times over his last 11 appearances after snapping a 20-game homerless drought. The 28-year-old is slashing .203/.269/.352 with nine home runs and 30 runs scored on the year.
