Swanson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers.

This was Swanson's second consecutive multi-hit performance, and he took Tarik Skubal deep in the third inning for his 17th long ball of the season. The veteran shortstop is hitting .262 with a .712 OPS since the All-Star break, though this was his first homer in that span -- and first since July 1, snapping a homerless streak that extended for 25 games and 89 at-bats.

Duran went 3-for-5 with two doubles, four RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-4 win over San Francisco.

Duran walked off the Giants, who had tied the game in the top of the ninth inning. The win halted the Rangers' six-game losing streak. Duran is getting regular at-bats at third base since Josh Jung (calf) landed on the injured list, but the Rangers would find a spot for the versatile Duran even if Jung were healthy. In 18 contests since the All-Star break, Duran's posted a .313/.351/.582 slash line with seven doubles, one triple, three home runs, 13 RBI and a couple steals.

Walls went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-innings win over the Rockies.

Walls has swiped a bag in each of his last two games, going 3-for-8 in that span. Prior to that, he had endured an 0-for-14 skid over a seven-game stretch, which led to a day off Sunday to help him reset. The shortstop is now batting .216 with a .590 OPS, no home runs, 23 RBI, 42 runs scored, 14 doubles, two triples and 17 stolen bases over 91 contests this season. Walls remains a regular part of the Rays' lineup but hasn't produced at a fantasy-friendly level this year.

Witt went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Twins.

Making his return after a two-week absence due to low-back tightness, Witt wasted little time getting back on track. He singled in each of his first two at-bats before ripping a two-run double in the fifth inning to extend Kansas City's lead. While his counting stats have taken a step back from previous seasons, in part due to the Royals' overall offensive struggles, Witt has continued to perform at a high level. Through 95 games, he's slashing .283/.353/.455 with 13 home runs, 23 doubles, one triple, 41 RBI and 53 runs scored and is tied with Jazz Chisholm for the American League lead with 30 stolen bases.

X-rays on Bogaerts' left foot came back negative following his removal from Tuesday's game against Arizona, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts left Tuesday's contest in the seventh inning after fouling a ball off his foot, but he appears to have escaped the incident without suffering any structural damage. He said after the game that he expects to be ready to play Wednesday, but the Padres could still decide to sit him as a precaution. If that ends up being the case, Sung-Mun Song would likely fill in as San Diego's shortstop.

Gonzalez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Brewers.

Gonzalez led off the third inning with a home run, his third time going yard since joining the Pirates on July 11. He has taken over as Pittsburgh's primary shortstop since the All-Star break, starting nine of the team's last 11 games. While Gonzalez has flashed some power, he's also hitting just .178 in that 11-game span.

Bogaerts was removed from Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks with an apparent foot injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts fouled a ball off his foot during his plate appearance in the seventh inning. He was initially able to remain in the game but was lifted for a pinch runner after drawing a walk. He'll likely be sent in for imaging to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and the Padres may have more information on his status after the game.

The Guardians are expected to recall Genao from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Viewed as one of the top prospects in the Guardians' farm system, Genao has spent time at Double-A and Triple-A this season, slashing .299/.400/.458 with 11 homers, 50 RBI, 62 runs and 11 steals to go with a 59:66 BB:K across 95 total games. He may get reps at the hot corner if Jose Ramirez's hand injury ends up sending him to the injured list. Otherwise, Genao could claim the starting shortstop job from Brayan Rocchio, who has posted just a .456 OPS since the All-Star break.

Lombard went 1-for-2 with a solo home run during the Yankees' 2-0 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Lombard, the Yankees' top prospect, was called up to make his major-league debut Tuesday, starting at shortstop and batting eighth. He made an immediate impact defensively with a nice play in the second frame that led to a 6-4-3 double play, and he topped that in the fifth offensively with his first major-league home run. With Anthony Volpe now with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Lombard is lined up to serve as the Yankees' primary shortstop for the rest of the regular season, with Jose Caballero also in the mix for reps.

Correa (ankle) was cleared to swing a bat Tuesday and is hopeful to return from the 60-day injured list before the end of the season, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Correa underwent what was believed to be season-ending ankle surgery May 11, as the procedure was expected to carry an estimated recovery timeline of 6-to-8 months. However, as McTaggart reports, Correa is attempting to defy the odds and return to action late in the season as the Astros jockey for a playoff spot. Correa slashed .279/.369/.418 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 22 runs scored and one stolen base across 141 plate appearances before hitting the shelf.
