Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL
Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Swats three-run homer
Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.
Vaughn was the fourth Brewer to homer when he mashed a three-run homer 441 feet to left field in the sixth. He's hit safely in 16 of his last 17 games and now has 32 RBI since joining the Brewers on July 7, which is the second most in baseball since that date.

Ryan Ritter 2B | COL
Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Plays first rehab game
Ritter (finger) went 1-for-4 with two RBI in his first rehab game with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Ritter is finally ready to play in games again after going on the 10-day injured list nearly four weeks ago with a significant laceration on his right middle finger. He should not require too many rehab contests before rejoining the Rockies' active roster, and with Thairo Estrada (hamstring) done for the season, Ritter could take over as the Rockies' regular second baseman.

Spencer Steer LF | CIN
Reds' Spencer Steer: Another multi-RBI game
Steer went 1-for-3 with a double, a sacrifice fly and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-1 win over Philadelphia.
Steer delivered the winning hit with a two-run double in the fourth inning, before he knocked in the Reds' final run in the sixth inning. This was the fourth multi-RBI game over the last 12 contests for Steer, who's gone 11-for-44 with six extra-base hits and 16 RBI during that run.

Christian Yelich DH | MIL
Brewers' Christian Yelich: Leaves yard Tuesday
Yelich went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.
Yelich had a perfect day at the plate and his two-run homer in the fifth was part of a 14-run offensive eruption. Yelich has posted four multi-hit efforts in 10 games in August and has homered in consecutive games. Yelich leads the Brewers with 23 home runs and 78 RBI, both of which are his best numbers since 2019.

Tylor Megill SP | NYM
Mets' Tylor Megill: Begins rehab assignment
Megill (elbow) struck out four over 1.2 scoreless innings in his first rehab start with Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday.
Megill surrendered three hits and a walk but managed to emerge from the outing unscathed, getting his pitch count up to 41. It was the first outing for the right-hander in nearly two months, so it's going to take Megill a while to get built back up. Megill is working his way back from a right elbow sprain.

Sal Frelick RF | MIL
Brewers' Sal Frelick: Swats leadoff home run
Frelick went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, two walks and three runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.
Frelick began his night with a leadoff home run off Paul Skenes and tied a season high with three runs scored. Tuesday was also Frelick's second game this season drawing multiple walks. He needs one more home run to notch double digits for the first time in his young career and leads the Brewers with a .293 batting average.

Miguel Andujar DH | SD
Reds' Miguel Andujar: Homers in win
Andujar started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Phillies.
Andujar homered in the fourth inning, his second blast over the last three games. He's started five consecutive contests and hit safely in all of them. Since being traded from the Athletics, Andujar has gone 8-for-23 (.348) with four extra-base hits, four RBI and six runs scored over nine games in a Cincinnati uniform.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Delivers decisive blow
Marte went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Marte provided the winning margin with a solo homer in the ninth inning. It was the 22nd home run in 87 games for Marte, who has reached base safely in 10 consecutive contests, slashing .308/.413/.538 with two home runs, eight RBI, 10 runs scored and one stolen base during that stretch.

Juan Morillo RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Juan Morillo: First career save
Morillo picked up the save Tuesday against the Rangers, throwing a perfect ninth inning with no strikeouts.
The Diamondbacks are still searching for a closer to replace Kevin Ginkel (shoulder), who was shut down for the season in early August. Morillo, a 26-year-old rookie who's bounced between the big leagues and Triple-A during 2025, appears to be in the running for the position. While he has a 4.76 ERA and 28:16 K:BB in 28.1 innings with Arizona this season, Tuesday's performance could have earned him some trust with manager Torey Lovullo. Morillo posted a 3.00 ERA in 15 innings with Triple-A Reno this year.

Blaze Alexander 3B | BAL
Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Homers again
Alexander went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Alexander belted his fourth home run in nine games, and his second in as many nights, by taking Jack Leiter yard in the third inning. He hadn't hit a round tripper in 2025 before the start of this nine-game stretch. The 26-year-old has been outstanding since taking Eugenio Suarez's spot at third base, and he's 14-for-38 (.368) in August with nine RBI and seven runs scored.
