Schmitt was promoted from High-A Eugene to Double-A Richmond on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Schmitt was sharp at High-A, slashing .282/.370/.490 with 18 home runs, 61 RBI and 60 runs scored across 94 contests. He'll get a chance to prove himself at Double-A for the remainder of the year. He is still likely a year or two away from his major-league debut, depending on how his hitting translates in the upper minors.

DeJong went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a hit-by-pitch in Tuesday's 16-5 loss to the Rockies.

DeJong has accumulated four of his five homers this season in nine games since he was recalled from Triple-A Memphis. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, his fifth-inning blast was too late to make a real impact in a brutal blowout loss. The shortstop is still slashing a meager .162/.262/.362 while adding 19 RBI, 12 runs scored and three stolen bases through 122 plate appearances, but his recent show of power is encouraging.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with two homers, four RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's loss against the Orioles.

The Blue Jays were unable to secure the win against the surging Orioles on Tuesday, but that was no fault of Bichette's, as he mashed two home runs and accounted for four of the Blue Jays' six runs. He also now carries a six-game hitting streak as he looks to finish the season on a high note. The young shortstop has been moved down to the bottom half of the lineup as he has not performed up to his standards, but as he heats up, he may move back in the top half and be in position to rack up more counting stats to close out the season.

Arcia will be placed on the injured list after suffering a left hamstring strain during Tuesday's win over the Red Sox, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Arcia gave Atlanta the lead with an RBI double during the 10th inning, but he injured his hamstring while coming into second base. He came off the bag and was tagged out before being helped off the field. The 28-year-old has been operating as the primary second baseman with Ozzie Albies (foot) already sidelined, and Ehire Adrianza is now likely to step into a starting role.

Adames went 2-for-3 with a run scored, a stolen base and a walk in a 5-3 win Tuesday over Tampa Bay.

Adames reached base safely in his last three plate appearances. He singled, stole second and came around to score in Milwaukee's three-run fifth inning. The shortstop has hit better of late and has a .273/.294/.515 line with two homers and seven RBI in seven games in August. While his average and OBP are down from his breakout 2021 season, the 26-year-old continues to hit for power and his 22 homers are just three shy of last year's mark.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

Lindor took Mike Minor deep for a two-run homer in the bottom of the third inning, driving in Mark Canha in the process. The long ball was his 20th of the season and third in the month of August. Since the All-Star break, Lindor is batting .373 with four home runs, 13 RBI, 17 runs and a stolen base over 18 games.

Velazquez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Oakland, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Velazquez is 5-for-27 in 16 games since the All-Star break and will take a seat Tuesday for the second straight contest. David Fletcher will shift to shortstop while Luis Rengifo starts at second base and Jose Rojas at third.

Marcano is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Marcano collected five hits in his first two starts after being recalled last week, but in the three games since he's 0-for-11 with a walk and five strikeouts. Greg Allen will start in left field while Rodolfo Castro, fresh up from Triple-A Indianapolis, will man the keystone.

Anderson (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list after Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader at Kansas City and is scheduled to undergo surgery Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The 29-year-old sat out the matinee while serving the second and final game of his suspension, but he was diagnosed with a sagittal band tear on the middle finger of his left hand and is expected to miss the next six weeks while recovering from the procedure. Anderson sustained the injury during Saturday's game against the Rangers on a check swing, and the tear is causing a dislocation of the exterior tendon of his finger. Leury Garcia and prospect Lenyn Sosa, who was promoted from Triple-A Charlotte over the weekend, are the primary options to fill in at shortstop for the White Sox.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Story (wrist) has resumed swinging a bat, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

The team isn't yet providing a timeline for Story's return from the 10-day injured list, but his ability to start swinging again is the first sign of progress for the second baseman since he was diagnosed in late July with a hairline fracture of his right wrist. Until Story returns from the wrist injury, Christian Arroyo will serve as the Red Sox's primary option at the keystone.
