Story went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Orioles.

The shortstop took Kyle Bradish deep in the second inning, giving Lucas Giolito all the run support he would need. It's the third time this season Story has a homer and a steal in the same game, with two of those performances coming in the second half of August. On the month, he's slashing .303/.374/.494 with four of his 21 home runs and six of his 23 steals on the year, adding 18 runs and 18 RBI in 23 contests.

Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Brewers.

Perdomo continued his breakout season with a run-scoring single in the seventh inning and then a game-tying double an inning later. He's knocked in 86 runs this season, smashing his previous career best of 47 in 2023. Perdomo ranks third among baseball's shortstops with a 5.5 fWAR.

Wilson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

Wilson opened the scoring with his first-inning homer and generated another RBI in the third. He's gone 6-for-20 (.300) with two homers and eight RBI over five games since returning from a forearm fracture. Wilson hasn't needed to shake off the rust, and the shortstop now has a .311/.353/.450 slash line with 12 homers, 53 RBI, 50 runs scored and five stolen bases over 99 contests this season.

Seager went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

Seager hit the 20-homer plateau for the season Tuesday, which marks his fourth consecutive year accomplishing this feat. The star shortstop has remained one of fantasy's top four-category producers at shortstop when healthy in 2025. Since the start of July, Seager is slashing .293/.396/.530 with 10 big flies, 13 doubles, 25 RBI and 31 runs scored covering his last 212 plate appearances.

Sweeney isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Sweeney will grab a seat on the bench after going 1-for-2 with a strikeout in Monday's game. Zach McKinstry will enter the lineup to start at shortstop instead while batting seventh.

Meidroth is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Meidroth had started the last four and nine of 10 contests after returning from the injured list, but he'll begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. Lenyn Sosa is covering second base for the White Sox.

De La Cruz went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Dodgers.

De La Cruz has started in all but one of the Reds' 132 games to date, but the rigors of the long season seem to be catching up with the 25-year-old. Though his .799 OPS on the season isn't far behind his 2024 mark of .810, De La Cruz is slashing just .217/.258/.293 with a 29.9 percent strikeout rate in August, and he's offered limited impact in the counting categories this month with zero home runs, two steals, 10 runs and five RBI across 22 contests. According to Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati, De La Cruz has been managing a quadriceps injury, which could explain his relative lack of activity as a baserunner in recent weeks. De La Cruz is expected to keep playing on an everyday basis as the Reds battle for a wild-card spot heading into September, and while he may continue to be selective with his steal attempts, fantasy managers should eventually expect some improvement with his production as a hitter. Even in a down month, De La Cruz is still striking the ball with authority; he's sporting a 41 percent hard-hit rate and has produced 16 batted-ball events exceeding 100 miles per hour thus far in August.

Acosta went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's win over Atlanta.

Getting the start at third base and batting ninth, the rookie infielder homered off Pierce Johnson in the eighth inning for what proved to be the game-winning run. Acosta has just three hits in his first 18 big-league at-bats, but all three have left the yard for solo shots. The 22-year-old seems likely to lose his spot on the roster once Connor Norby (wrist) is cleared to come off the IL, although the Marlins could delay that move until Sept. 1 in order to keep Acosta in the majors and take a longer look at him, as the team shifts its focus from a long-shot wild-card bid to 2026.

Smith started at second base and went 0-for-2 with a walk and was hit by a pitch in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Angels.

Smith took over at second base with Marcus Semien (foot) on the 10-day injured list and likely done for the rest of the regular season. It was the third start at second base this season for Smith, who wears many gloves for Texas. He's had a rough go of it in August, slashing .197/.274/.250 with four RBI and six runs scored over 23 games this month.

Neto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a 4-0 win over the Rangers on Monday.

Neto got the Angels off to a strong start when he took Jacob deGrom deep to lead off the contest. It was the ninth time the talented young shortstop has led off a contest with a long ball this year, establishing a team franchise record. Neto has already accomplished a second straight 20-20 campaign with 22 homers and 23 thefts with over a month left to go in the regular season.
