  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Drives in three in win

    Devers went 2-for-5 with a triple, a run scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Blue Jays.

    His bases-loaded triple in the sixth inning completed the comeback from an early deficit and proved to be the game-winning hit. Devers is also climbing out of his personal early-season hole -- over his last 12 games he's recorded five multi-hit efforts, posting a .302/.339/.509 slash line with two homers and 12 RBI.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Indians' Jose Ramirez: Notches two steals

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a pair of stolen bases and two runs scored in a win over Minnesota on Tuesday.

    Ramirez generated the game's first run in the first inning when he singled, stole second and third base, then came around to score on a two-out single. The performance marked the third time this season that Ramirez has swiped two bags in a game. While his .239/.333/.436 slash line is mildly disappointing, he has drilled five home runs and is tied for second in baseball with eight stolen bases.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Busts out with three hits

    Segura went 3-for-5 with two RBI during Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

    The veteran infielder was 0-for-8 over his past two games, and the three hits Tuesday represent his first multi-hit game since Aug. 11. Segura has a .233/.333/.384 slash line with three homers, six RBI and one stolen base in 21 games.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Not in lineup for Game 2

    Rendon isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Astros.

    Rendon went hitless in three at-bats during the first portion of the twin bill, and he'll take a seat for the second game. David Fletcher will shift to the hot corner with Luis Rengifo starting at second base.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Twins' Josh Donaldson: Playing in intrasquad games

    Donaldson (calf) has resumed playing in intrasquad games at the Twins' alternate training site, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Donaldson has been increasing his activity since landing on the 10-day injured list with a right calf injury. He's recently progressed to taking at-bats in intrasquad matchups. Despite the positive signs, a timetable for his return still hasn't been announced, but his absence from the Twins' ongoing 10-game road trip suggests he won't be activated until at least next week.

  • Kevin Newman 3B | LAA

    Pirates' Kevin Newman: Sitting with abdominal injury

    Newman (abdomen) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the White Sox.

    It seemed like he could be placed on the injured list after leaving Sunday's game with lower abdominal muscle discomfort, but he's available off the bench for Tuesday's contest, per Adam Berry of MLB.com. Erik Gonzalez is starting at shortstop and leading off.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Day off Tuesday

    McMahon is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.

    This is McMahon's first day off since Aug. 10. He is hitting .233/.353/.605 with five home runs in 43 at-bats over that 13-game starting streak. Brendan Rodgers is starting at second base and batting seventh.

  • Nick Madrigal 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Nick Madrigal: Not yet ready to return

    Manager Rick Renteria said Tuesday that Madrigal (shoulder) will require "at least a few more days" at the team's alternate training site before returning, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

    Madrigal could still make it back before the end of August, although it appears as though he won't return for the team's current series against the Pirates. If all goes well in Schaumburg, it's possible that the 23-year-old could return for the White Sox's upcoming series against the Royals, which is scheduled to begin Friday.

  • Abraham Toro 1B | BOS

    Astros' Abraham Toro: Sitting for Game 1

    Toro is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Angels.

    Toro is 0-for-12 with three strikeouts and zero walks over his last four games. Jack Mayfield will start at third base and hit ninth.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Rips fifth long ball

    Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 loss to Milwaukee.

    Suarez knocked Brett Anderson out of the game with his home run in the seventh inning. The third baseman now has five long balls on the campaign, but continues to perform below expectations thus far. After a spectacular 2019 in which he hit .271/.358/.572 with 49 home runs, Suarez is slashing just .154/.280/.341 in 91 at-bats to start 2020.
