  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Rays' Isaac Paredes: Two hits including homer

    Paredes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's 11-1 win over the Angels.

    Paredes singled in the second inning before taking Jose Suarez deep for a solo homer in the bottom of the sixth. He later added a walk and came around to score again in the seventh frame. The long ball was the 23-year-old's 15th of the year and first since July 26. Paredes is now batting .218 with a home run, six RBI and eight runs over 55 at-bats in August.

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Giants' Evan Longoria: Two hits, homer in win

    Longoria went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

    Longoria singled in the top of the fourth inning before later ripping a two-run home run off reliever Daniel Norris in the top of the sixth frame. The long ball was his 12th of the season and he has now homered in consecutive games. Since being reinstated from the 10-day injured list Aug. 8, the 36-year-old has batted .353 with three home runs, nine RBI and seven runs over 34 at-bats in 12 games.

  • Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA

    Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Back in action for Game 2

    Wisdom (finger) is starting at first base and batting sixth in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus St. Louis.

    Wisdom was held out of the lineup for Tuesday's matinee, his third straight absence due to a finger strain, but he'll rejoin the starting nine for the nightcap. The 30-year-old has a .193/.288/.386 slash line with three home runs, eight RBI and a 34.8 percent strikeout rate through 17 games in August.

  • Jonah Bride 3B | TEX

    Athletics' Jonah Bride: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Bride is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

    Bride has a .610 OPS through 16 games in August and will take a seat after starting the previous four contests. Tony Kemp will move to second base while Seth Brown and Chad Pinder start in the corner outfield spots.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Giants' J.D. Davis: Heads to bench

    Davis is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Davis has produced a .961 OPS since being acquired from the Mets on Aug. 2, but he may have to settle for a part-time role now that the Giants have recently returned all of their key position players from the injured list. The righty-hitting Davis should be a fixture in the lineup versus left-handed pitching, but his opportunities against right-handers may be more spotty.

  • Nick Maton DH | CHW

    Phillies' Nick Maton: On bench against lefty

    Maton is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

    The lefty-hitting Maton will take a seat against southpaw Nick Lodolo, ending a streak of three consecutive starts for the 25-year-old. With Philadelphia optioning Darick Hall to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday, Maton could have a path to playing time against right-handed pitching in the short term, but his opportunities will likely take a hit when Bryce Harper (thumb) returns from the 60-day injured list next week.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Promotion not coming Tuesday

    Henderson will be in the lineup and playing second base Tuesday for Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    As of Tuesday, Henderson can officially be recalled from Triple-A without exhausting his prospect eligibility for 2023 via days on the active roster, but he would need to have no more than 130 at-bats over the rest of the season. There have been rumors that he will join the big-league club sometime this week, so Henderson, a top-three prospect in the game, should be rostered as a speculative add in most redraft leagues at this point.

  • Matt Reynolds 3B | CIN

    Reds' Matt Reynolds: Lands on IL

    The Reds placed Reynolds (hip) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left hip pain.

    With the move, Reynolds can return no sooner than the end of August, but it's unclear exactly how long he'll be sidelined. He has a .652 OPS this season and an even-less-impressive .366 mark this month.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Not starting Tuesday

    Urias is not in the lineup Tuesday against the White Sox, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    Urias has gone 8-for-22 with four runs and three RBI in his last six contests. While Urias sits Tuesday, Rougned Odor will slide to third base and Terrin Vavra will start at second base.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Returns from IL

    The Pirates activated Hayes (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. He'll start at third base and bat third Tuesday against Atlanta.

    As expected, it was a brief stay on the IL for Hayes, who hasn't played since Aug. 11 due to a minor back injury. Barring another injury, Hayes, who's slashed .297/.350/.405 with six RBI in 10 games this month, should be an everyday staple near the top of Pittsburgh's lineup.
