Castellanos went 1-for-4 with a two-RBI double during Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Twins.

Castellanos starred in the Phillies' three-run ninth inning, belting a two-out, two-RBI double off Jhoan Duran to give Philadelphia a comfortable lead. In his last seven games, Castellanos is 8-for-27 (.296) with two homers, five doubles and nine total RBI.

Fitzgerald went 3-for-3 with a solo homer and two RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Fitzgerald kept his home run magic going with a solo blast to left in the second inning, and he later drove in a second run in the ninth with a single. He's now homered in five straight games, becoming the first Giants rookie to accomplish such a feat and becoming the first Giant to do it since Barry Bonds homered in seven straight in 2004. Over this stretch, Fitzgerald's slashing .571/.667/1.714 with seven RBI, six runs and a 4:4 BB:K in 18 plate appearances. He should continue to find himself in the lineup while his bat his scorching hot.

Atlanta recalled Winans from Triple-A Gwinnett. He'll start the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Reds at Truist Park.

Left-hander Dylan Dodd was sent out to Triple-A Gwinnett to open up room on the roster for Winans, who is back with Atlanta for the first time since April 11, when he gave up seven runs (six earned) over five innings in a spot start versus the Mets. Winans could have the opportunity to stick around with Atlanta on a more permanent basis this time around, as the club has an opening in the rotation while Max Fried (forearm) is on the shelf. The right-hander will first need to acquit himself well in Wednesday's start before putting himself in consideration for additional turns through the rotation.

Fairchild is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with Atlanta.

Fairchild had started in center field in both of Cincinnati's last two games, but he'll give way to Will Benson for the first game of the twin bill. Atlanta is bringing southpaw Chris Sale to the hill for the nightcap, so expect the right-handed-hitting Stuart Fairchild to pick up a start in the outfield while either or both of Benson and Jake Fraley -- both left-handed hitters -- head to the bench.

Wheeler didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts across seven scoreless innings against Minnesota.

Wheeler was removed from his July 9 start with back spasms and missed a turn in the rotation due to the issue. He took the mound Tuesday for the first time since and didn't skip a beat. Wheeler struck out seven batters for a third consecutive start and garnered his 15th quality start of the year. The 34-year-old has a 2.55 ERA and 0.98 WHIP to pair with a 133:37 K:BB across 123.3 innings this season. He lines up to face the Yankees early next week.

Beck (hand) went 0-for-3 at the plate Tuesday in his first rehab game with the Rockies' Arizona Complex League affiliate.

Beck was shelved for nearly two months with a fractured left hand but has finally been cleared for game action. The outfielder will eventually move his rehab up to Triple-A Albuquerque and figures to require a good number of rehab at-bats given how much time he's missed. That said, it appears Beck could be back with the Rockies by early August.

Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Orioles.

Sanchez opened the Marlins' scoring Tuesday, leading off the second inning with a 429-foot blast off Albert Suarez to tie the game 1-1. The 26-year-old outfielder has gone 18-for-56 (.321) with five homers in 16 games since the start of July. Overall, Sanchez is slashing .248/.296/.428 with 12 homers, two shy of a career high, through 312 plate appearances this season. He's added 38 RBI, 31 runs scored and six stolen bases.

Puk (4-8) earned the win Tuesday over the Orioles, striking out three over two perfect innings.

Puk has been excellent since returning to Miami's bullpen -- the left-hander hasn't allowed a run in his last 16.2 innings, posting a stellar 0.42 WHIP while striking out 25 in that span. With Tanner Scott expected to be moved at the trade deadline, Puk would seemingly be the favorite to take over the closer role. He's lowered his ERA to 4.30 on the season with a 1.34 WHIP and 45:23 K:BB across 44 innings.

Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a pair of stolen bases in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Orioles.

Chisholm continues to build his value in advance of the trade deadline. The outfielder drove in a pair of runs with a double in the Marlins' four-run second inning while also swiping his 20th and 21st bags of the season. Chisholm's now batting .300 (6-for-20) with a pair of extra-base hits following the All-Star break. He's slashing .251/.325/.412 with 13 homers, 47 RBI and 43 runs scored through 416 plate appearances this season.

Atlanta optioned Dodd to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Dodd didn't make an appearance during his brief stint with the big club. He's being replaced on the roster by Allan Winans, who was called up from Gwinnett to start the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Reds.
