Flores went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Flores was part of the Giants' early rally in the first inning and added his solo shot in the third. This was his second multi-hit effort in a row, and he continues to have a regular spot in the lineup versus southpaws while also playing against some right-handers. Flores' playing time versus could drop with Bryce Eldridge now on the major-league roster, however. For the season, Flores has a .243/.310/.385 slash line with 16 homers, 70 RBI, 43 runs scored and one stolen base over 119 contests.

Del Castillo went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Giants.

Del Castillo has an extra-base hit in each of his last two games after going a stretch of 14 contests without one. The 25-year-old continues to strike out too much, posting a 2:12 BB:K over his eight games in September. For the season, he's logged a .241/.278/.380 slash line with three homers, 14 RBI, eight runs scored and six doubles over 115 big-league plate appearances.

Springer went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win against the Rays.

Springer knocked three singles in the victory, including a two-run base hit in the second inning. He has a pair of three-hit performances over his last three games and has multiple hits in nine of his last 20 appearances. During that span, he's gone 29-for-79 (.367). Springer owns a terrific .305/.395/.550 slash line with 100 runs scored and 78 RBI through 531 plate appearances.

Manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that Alvarez has a "pretty significant" left ankle sprain and will be "out for a while," though the Astros won't be placing him on the injured list, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The description of the injury makes it sound as though Alvarez could be done for the rest of the regular season, but Houston apparently wants to keep their options open with the slugger rather than place him on the IL. Should the Astros change their mind and backdate an IL move, Alvarez might still be able to play in a series against the Angels on the final weekend. Regardless of the 28-year-old's roster status, Alvarez won't be back in the lineup in the immediate future.

Alvarez (ankle) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Alvarez sprained his left ankle in Monday's win over the Rangers and was spotted leaving the clubhouse on crutches and wearing a walking boot. While it's no surprise he's absent from Tuesday's lineup, there's still no word on the results of an MRI the slugger had on the ankle. The Astros have Jesus Sanchez in left field and Yainer Diaz at designated hitter Tuesday.

Suzuki (illness) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Suzuki will sit for a fifth consecutive game as he continues to deal with an undisclosed illness. Manager Craig Counsell said previously that the outfielder traveled with the team to Pittsburgh, so he should continue to be considered day-to-day until more information is available. Moises Ballesteros will receive another start at designated hitter Tuesday.

Jensen will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

It's the third straight start for Jensen, matching the number of starts he had in the Royals' first 11 games after he was called up. The 22-year-old is just 3-for-17 at the dish thus far but has managed a 4:4 BB:K. Salvador Perez is also in the Royals' lineup Tuesday, serving as the designated hitter.

Bell is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Atlanta.

Bell will get some rest in the first game but should be back in there for the nightcap. Andres Chaparro will cover first base and bat third in the first game of the twin bill.

Ozuna is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Atlanta will go with Ronald Acuna in the designated-hitter spot and Eli White in right field for the first game of the twin bill. Ozuna will likely be back in the lineup for the nightcap.

Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Dodgers.

Schwarber has homered in three straight games, and he has four long balls during a seven-game hitting streak. The slugger is up to 53 homers this season, one back of Cal Raleigh for the major-league lead with just under two weeks left in the regular season. Schwarber has added a .244/.371/.572 slash line, 128 RBI, 105 runs scored and 10 stolen bases over 151 contests. Schwarber, Raleigh and Aaron Judge are the only three players in the majors this season to exceed 100 in both RBI and runs through Monday's action.
