Ahmed went 1-for-2 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-7 win over Colorado.

Ahmed's perfectly mediocre season has exploded this month. He's slashing .351/.415/.807 with seven homers, 18 RBI and 14 runs scored over 17 games in August. Tuesday's round-tripper was his 17th of the season and established a new benchmark for the shortstop.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI in a loss to the Twins on Tuesday.

Anderson knocked in the first run of the game with a double in the third inning and launched a solo homer to left field in the sixth. The multi-hit outing was Anderson's sixth in his last seven games and 11th overall in a scorching August in which he has produced a .407 average while scoring 18 runs.

Story went 4-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in the Rockies' 8-7 loss to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

The shortstop had one hit in his last eight at-bats coming in, but he got back on track in short order, racking up four more hits and driving in three of Colorado's seven runs on the day. Story is having another fantastic campaign at the dish, as this effort brings his slash line up to .296/.362/.573 to go along with 28 homers, 17 stolen bases and 74 RBI across 510 plate appearances.

Correa (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list following Tuesday's win over the Tigers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Manager AJ Hinch said prior to the game Correa was likely IL-bound, so the post-game announcement isn't much of a surprise. The 24-year-old was pulled from Monday's contest after his back stiffened up, and Hinch indicated the recovery will likely require the full 10 days. Correa will be eligible to be activated Aug. 30 in Toronto.

Bogaerts twisted his ankle running the bases Tuesday against the Phillies but said "hopefully it's fine tomorrow," Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Bogaerts had the ankle wrapped up after the game but doesn't seem to think it's a serious issue. The Red Sox have a scheduled off day Thursday, so if there's any concern, they could give the 26-year-old Wednesday off to provide ample recovery time.

Urena was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Urena earned a spot on the Opening Day roster but has been at Triple-A since late May. The 23-year-old provides some added infield depth with the Blue Jays starting a three-game set on the road versus the Dodgers.

Correa (back) is expected to require a trip to the 10-day injured list, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa wasn't available to the media prior to Tuesday's matchup, but skipper AJ Hinch finally shed some light on Correa's status, stating that it's likely his star shortstop will need a stint on the IL. He could return near the end of August if he's able to come back after the 10-day minimum.

Crawford is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Cubs.

He was swinging a hot bat around the All-Star break, but has predictably cooled off, hitting .173 with zero home runs in 52 August at-bats. Abiatal Avelino will start at shortstop and hit eighth.

Swanson (foot) is hoping to begin a rehab assignment sometime this week, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Swanson's recovery has not gone as planned, but it sounds like he should at least make it back sometime in September. He had recently increased his on-field activities.

Correa (back) isn't starting Tuesday against the Tigers.

Correa left Monday night's series opener with back discomfort, and the details surrounding his injury have been scarce to this point. Jack Mayfield draws the start at shortstop and will bat ninth in Correa's absence.
