Stanton went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's win over Washington.

Stanton accounted for all of the Yankees' offense Tuesday, starting with his bases-clearing double in the third inning. He then belted a two-run shot in the sixth inning for his 17th homer of the year. Stanton has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball since making his season debut June 16; he's slashing .313/.388/.663 with 23 extra-base hits and 46 RBI in just 183 plate appearances. Stanton is 15-for-32 (.469) with seven home runs over his last 11 games.

Gil (2-1) allowed a run on five hits and four walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out five and earning a win over the Nationals.

Gil gave up one run in the third inning but was otherwise able to work around some traffic on the bases. He continues to struggle with his command; since making his season debut Aug. 3, Gil has walked at least three batters in four of his five appearances. However, he's allowed two or fewer runs in four consecutive outings. He generated 12 whiffs Tuesday, marking the second time he's forced double-digit swinging strikes this season. Gil is now sporting a 3.75 ERA with a lackluster 22:17 K:BB through 24 frames. He's currently lined up to face the White Sox in Chicago this weekend.

Enns will serve as the Orioles' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against Boston, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Enns has pitched in several high-leverage situations since joining the Orioles at the trade deadline, but he'll be taking the hill for at least the first inning of Wednesday's contest. The 34-year-old southpaw has posted a 3.97 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 11.1 innings with the Orioles, and although he's pitched as many as five innings in an appearance in the majors and six innings in the minors this season, he'll likely only remain in Wednesday's game for a frame or two before handing the game over to bulk reliever Roansy Contreras.

Robert was removed from Tuesday's game against the Royals with left hamstring soreness.

Robert grounded out during his lone plate appearance before his hamstring forced him out of the game in the fourth inning. More details on the severity of his injury should come once the White Sox are finished taking a look at him, but he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

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 while batting seventh.

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

Dingler will get a breather Tuesday after going 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Monday's series opener. Jake Rogers will bat ninth while catching for right-hander Charlie Morton.

Taylor (hand) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Taylor has been given the green light to play in minor-league games just a month after landing on the injured list with a fractured left hand. However, there's currently no telling how many rehab games the 34-year-old will need to play in before he's ready to rejoin the Halos' active roster. He may also work in a diminished role once healthy after slashing just .189/.286/.378 through 15 games after joining the Angels in late May.

The Athletics placed Lopez on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left elbow flexor strain.

Lopez's strained elbow played a factor in his performance in a loss to the Mariners on Sunday, when he surrendered nine earned runs in just two innings. The Athletics will shut down for a period of time before he's cleared to start a throwing program, though the team is optimistic that the 27-year-old southpaw will make it back before the end of the season, likely as a reliever. Mason Barnett was selected from Triple-A Las Vegas to take Lopez's place on the active roster, but the team hasn't yet announced who will replace Lopez in the rotation.

The Athletics selected Barnett's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old Barnett has spent the entire season at Las Vegas, turning in a 5.83 ERA and 1.56 WHIP across 117.1 innings through 24 appearances (22 starts). Despite his unimpressive statline, he'll join the big-league roster for the first time in his career to fill in for Jacob Lopez (elbow), who landed on the IL in a corresponding move. If Barnett takes Lopez's place in the Athletics' rotation, the former would be lined up to make his MLB debut Saturday against Texas. Otherwise, he could be used as a multi-inning relief option.

The Guardians have placed Santana on outright waivers, Zack Meisel and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic report.

Santana has started just 10 of 21 games since the Guardians called up C.J. Kayfus, and the club might now be ready to completely sever ties with the veteran first baseman. The 39-year-old is slashing just .225/.316/.333 in 2025 and is owed a bit more than $2 million for the remainder of the season, so it seems likely he'll clear waivers. The Guardians could keep Santana if that happens, but it's likelier at this point that they move on.
