Gio Urshela 3B | MIN
Tigers' Gio Urshela: Big game in rout
Urshela went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 15-1 win over the Mariners.
Urshela had a fifth of Detroit's whopping 20 hits as a team, giving him his first four-hit effort of the season. The infielder raised his batting average from .237 to .247 in the process. It's been a disappointing campaign for Urshela, who also missed time earlier in the year with a hamstring injury, but the veteran is capable of delivering some useful fantasy lines when he's in the lineup.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. 2B | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Headed for IL
Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Chisholm suffered a UCL injury in his left elbow, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Boone noted that the team is still trying to determine the severity of Chisholm's injury, but he will almost certainly need to spend time on the injured list and may require surgery. The 26-year-old has slashed .316/.361/.702 with seven homers and 11 RBI in 61 plate appearances since joining the Yankees while primarily playing third base. Oswaldo Cabrera is likely to see regular reps at the hot corner while Chisholm is out.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Sitting out Tuesday
Chisholm (elbow) isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.
Chisholm had to make an early exit from Monday's game after injuring his elbow sliding into home plate. Initial X-rays came back negative, but he'll sit out Tuesday's contest in order to recover. Oswaldo Cabrera will cover the hot corner instead and bat eighth.

Jose Tena DH | WAS
Nationals' Jose Tena: Idle Tuesday
Tena (thumb) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
Tena was removed from Sunday's game after being struck in the right hand by a grounder and will require an additional day of rest due to an issue with the fingernail of his right thumb. He should be considered day-to-day. Ildemaro Vargas will start at third base Tuesday.

Coby Mayo 3B | BAL
Orioles' Coby Mayo: Absent from lineup again
Mayo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
Mayo has now started just one of the last five games, taking a clear back seat to Ramon Urias at third base. The rookie is still seeking his first major-league hit, having gone 0-for-15 with 10 strikeouts. It would not be a surprise to see Mayo sent back to Triple-A Norfolk soon.

Andres Chaparro 1B | WAS
Nationals' Andres Chaparro: Officially added to roster
The Nationals selected Chaparro's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
Acquired from the Diamondbacks in the Dylan Floro trade, Chaparro is receiving his first major-league promotion after slashing .328/.405/.572 with 23 home runs over 105 games in 2024 at the Triple-A level. The 25-year-old is expected to play regularly while alternating with Juan Yepez at first base and designated hitter. Chaparro is starting at first base and batting sixth Tuesday in Baltimore in his major-league debut.

Mark Vientos 1B | NYM
Mets' Mark Vientos: Sitting again Tuesday
Vientos (ankle) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
The 24-year-old was a late scratch from Sunday's lineup against the Mariners due to left ankle soreness, and he'll sit for a second consecutive game Tuesday. According to Laura Albanese of Newsday, Vientos is expected to be available off the bench and should rejoin the lineup Wednesday. Jose Iglesias will receive a start at third base and bat seventh.

Abraham Toro 1B | BOS
Athletics' Abraham Toro: Taking seat Tuesday
Toro is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
Toro hasn't logged a multi-hit game since July 23, going 6-for-45 (.133) during that stretch. He'll yield to Darell Hernaiz at third base for the second time in three games.

Noelvi Marte RF | CIN
Reds' Noelvi Marte: Resting Tuesday
Marte is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.
After making 10 consecutive starts at third base, Marte will get the night off Tuesday. In his place, Santiago Espinal will play third and bat ninth. Marte is slashing .179/.218/.299 across 142 plate appearances this season.

Junior Caminero 3B | TB
Rays' Junior Caminero: Officially called up
The Rays recalled Caminero from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
The Rays' top prospect will make his 2024 MLB debut, taking Curtis Mead's spot on the active roster. Caminero missed time with a strained quad but has slashed .304/.325/.532 with five homers and an 18.1 percent K rate since coming off the minor-league IL on July 19. The right-hander should settle into a near-everyday role at third base, but he could mix in at second or shortstop if needed.
