Ramirez went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Mets.

Ramirez recorded his second three-hit game of the campaign and drove in his first two runs since May 5 as he hit leadoff for the first time this season. The 31-year-old could remain atop the order until Yandy Diaz (groin) can return to the lineup. Ramirez is now slashing an impressive .324/.375/.550 with six homers, 17 RBI, 17 runs and an 8:24 BB:K over 120 plate appearances.

Buxton went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.

Buxton doubled his stolen-base total for the season in this contest. He's logged a pair of hits in each of his last three games, rebounding from an 0-for-23 skid over seven contests prior to him getting a rest day Saturday. The 29-year-old is slashing .234/.337/.476 with eight home runs, four steals, 20 RBI, 27 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple through 39 games this season.

Soler went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over Washington.

With the Marlins down to their final strike, Soler crushed a two-run shot off Hunter Harvey, giving Miami a 5-4 victory. The 31-year-old Soler has been hot of late, going 14-for-43 with five home runs and 12 RBI in his last 11 games. He's now slashing .238/.317/.503 with 10 homers, 22 RBI and 20 runs scored through 164 plate appearances on the campaign.

Jimenez (abdomen) was cleared to run the bases Tuesday and could resume swinging by the weekend, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

The White Sox have yet to set a date for Jimenez's return, but he was given a 4-to-6 week recovery timeline following his appendectomy earlier this month. Gavin Sheets and Adam Haseley have split reps in right field since Jimenez landed on the injured list.

Morel is starting in center field and batting third Tuesday against the Astros.

Cody Bellinger (knee) is absent from the lineup for this one, allowing yet another opportunity for Morel to impress. He's gone 9-for-26 (.346) with four homers and nine RBI in six games since his May 8 promotion from Triple-A Iowa. The 23-year-old can also work in at second base for the Cubs as Nico Hoerner recovers from a hamstring strain.

Winker is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

Milwaukee will go heavy on right-handed hitters with left-hander Jordan Montgomery set to toe the slab for St. Louis. Darin Ruf is serving as the DH and batting fifth.

Ozuna is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers.

Eddie Rosario will serve as Atlanta's designated hitter and bat fifth with right-hander Dane Dunning on the mound for Texas. Ozuna had drawn three straight starts at DH prior to this night of rest.

Belt is not in the Blue Jays' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

George Springer is getting a start at designated hitter and Cavan Biggio is in right field. Belt is heating up this month but will take a seat Tuesday after starting each of the last eight contests.

McCutchen is in the DH spot and hitting leadoff Tuesday versus the Tigers.

This marks McCutchen's second straight start out of the leadoff spot. He's up to a .357 on-base percentage and .823 OPS through 143 plate appearances on the year. Ke'Bryan Hayes is hitting fifth Tuesday for Pittsburgh.

Ohtani (neck) is in the Angels' lineup for Tuesday's game in Baltimore.

Ohtani dealt with some neck stiffness Monday as he pulled double duty on the mound and in the batter's box in the Angels' victory. It won't keep him from serving as the designated hitter Tuesday, though, as he bats third against Dean Kremer.
