Reyes went 5-for-5 with a solo home run, two doubles, one RBI and two runs scored Tuesday against the Royals.

Reyes took Matt Harvey deep in the first inning to record his eighth home run of the season. He continued to showcase his power throughout the game, doubling in both the fifth and seventh innings. Reyes now has three multi-hit performances in his last five starts, during which he's tallied two home runs, five doubles, seven RBI and six runs scored. Overall, he's hitting .323/.378/.569 with 22 runs scored and 25 RBI across 143 plate appearances.

Miller went 4-for-6 with two home runs, a double, seven RBI and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 16-2 win at Cincinnati.

It's the 30-year-old's second two-homer game of the season, and the seven RBI set a career-high mark. Miller finished a triple short of the cycle, with each of his four hits bringing home at least one run. He has a .317/.450/.619 slash line with four home runs, five doubles, 12 runs and 18 RBI in only 20 games this season.

Pederson is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

It's business as usual for Pederson, as he'll head to the bench with lefty Alex Young pitching for Arizona. Enrique Hernandez starts in left field Tuesday for Los Angeles.

Turner was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamstring strain, retroactive to Aug. 29.

Turner underwent a pre-game workout Tuesday to determine whether a trip to the injured list would be necessary, and he apparently needs more than a couple days before returning to full health. The 35-year-old doesn't have an official timeline for his return, but he'll be eligible to be activated Sept. 8. Edwin Rios (hamstring) was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move and will start at third base, though Enrique Hernandez, Chris Taylor and Max Muncy could all see time there during Turner's absence.

Turner (hamstring) will work out prior to Tuesday's game to determine whether he'll be able to return in a couple days or will require a trip to the injured list, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

The 35-year-old hasn't seen game action since exiting Friday's contest with the hamstring issue. Regardless of the pre-game workout, Turner won't play in Tuesday's game and also seems unlikely to be available Wednesday, even if he avoids the injured list.

Vogelbach was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

It's the second such move in less than two weeks for Vogelbach, who was designated for assignment and subsequently traded by the Mariners in mid-August. In 20 games between the two sides, he has a total of just five hits. His .088/.246/.211 season slash line is a far cry from the .208/.341/.439 line he posted last season.

The Mets added Vientos to their 60-man roster pool Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

A 2020 big-league debut won't be in the forecast for Vientos, who has yet to play above the Low-A level. That said, his inclusion in roster pool is an indication that he's one of the more valued lower-level prospects in the Mets' farm system. He'll report to the Mets' alternate training site to get regular at-bats in simulated games after the 2020 minor-league season was cancelled.

Buxton (shoulder) was activated off the injured list as expected Tuesday and will bat seventh and play center field against the White Sox.

Buxton will wind up missing just shy of two weeks with shoulder inflammation. He'd struggled to a .221/.225/.456 slash line prior to the injury, with that low on-base percentage giving him the opportunity to attempt just two steals in 21 games, but he should nevertheless be the Twins' everyday center fielder going forward.

Choi (illness) will lead off and play first base Tuesday against the Yankees.

A stomach bug forced Choi to leave Monday's game early, but the issue was evidently a minor one, as he's back in the lineup without missing any starts. Choi started the season slowly but has raised his OPS from .662 to .751 over his last four games.

Martinez (hand) remains on the bench Tuesday against Atlanta, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Martinez's X-rays were negative after he got struck in the hand by a pitch Sunday against the Nationals, but he'll now sit for the second straight game. He's feeling better after some treatment, however, and could return to the lineup Wednesday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. Yairo Munoz will serve as the designated hitter in his absence.
