Reds' Jose Trevino: Productive in Tuesday's win
Trevino went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Phillies.
The veteran catcher kicked off a two-run rally in the third inning with a one-out single, coming home on a Spencer Steer two-bagger, and Trevino then played a key role in a three-run sixth that broke the game open. He continues to split time with Tyler Stephenson behind the plate, and through five starts in August, Trevino is batting .263 (5-for-19) with a double, two RBI and three runs.

Carlos Narvaez C | BOS
Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Lifts homer
Narvaez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 14-1 win over Houston.
Narvaez swatted his 10th home run of the season, taking Shawn Dubin yard for a three-run shot. The outing snapped a dry spell for the catcher, as he entered the contest with just one hit in his last 25 at-bats. Narvaez has dealt with a minor knee injury recently, but he's now made back-to-back starts behind the dish.

Kyle Teel C | CHW
White Sox's Kyle Teel: Reaches base three times
Teel went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Tigers.
Teel was part of a five-run fifth inning for the White Sox, walking with the bases loaded to drive in one. After holding his own through the first month of his time in the majors, Teel has shown signs of breaking out since the All-Star break. Across 17 games, he's hit .310 with two home runs, seven RBI and nine runs scored with five total extra-base hits.

Dalton Rushing C | LAD
Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Hits second homer
Rushing went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Angels.
Rushing had gone just 3-for-30 (.100) with no extra-base hits and 11 strikeouts over his previous 12 games. Despite the struggles at the plate, he continues to get semi-regular playing time as the backup to Will Smith. Rushing is slashing .202/.269/.298 with two homers, 15 RBI, 11 runs scored and three doubles over his first 34 major-league games.

Edgar Quero C | CHW
White Sox's Edgar Quero: Delivers three-hit, three-RBI night
Quero went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Tigers.
The rookie launched a solo shot off Codi Heuer in the seventh inning, his fourth of the year, and then added a two-run single an inning later to push Chicago's lead to six. It was his third multi-hit effort in his last eight games and his second game this season with at least three RBI. The 22-year-old is now slashing .275/.342/.381 with 29 RBI and 20 runs scored through 75 contests.

Hunter Goodman RF | COL
Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Pops 23rd homer
Goodman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Cardinals.
Goodman popped his 23rd home run of the season in the fourth inning. That snapped what had been a cold start to the Rockies' road trip, as Goodman entered Tuesday's game having gone just 2-for-16 across his last four games. While four of Goodman's six home runs since the All-Star break have come at home, he has performed equally well on the road overall this season.

Dillon Dingler C | DET
Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Goes deep in loss
Dingler went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the White Sox.
Dingler went deep against Chicago reliever Tyler Gilbert in the seventh inning for his 11th home run of the season. The Detroit catcher is batting just .194 this month in 11 games, though he's at least mustered two long balls. On the year, Dingler has a .272/.319/.429 slash line in 92 games, and he's emerged as Detroit's primary backstop with Jake Rogers filling a reserve role.
