Tatis went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Mets.

Tatis was the star of Tuesday's game, posting his first multi-homer effort of the year while also robbing a grand slam in the field. It continued a second-half power binge for the 27-year-old, who's gone deep 10 times while posting a 1.016 OPS in 30 games since the All-Star break. On the season, he's slashing .280/.353/.432 with 15 home runs, 60 RBI, 71 runs scored and 28 steals across 551 plate appearances.

Gasper went 2-for-2 with a home run, two walks and two RBI in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Gasper was perfect at the plate, and the highlight was a solo blast in the sixth inning. The 30-year-old has now homered in back-to-back games since rejoining the Red Sox on Monday. He's slashed .254/.323/.368 with eight extra-base hits, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored across 128 major-league plate appearances and is earning himself a chance to stick around during his second stint with the big club this season.

Rutschman went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Rutschman opened the scoring with a two-run single in the first inning before launching a solo shot in the third. It was the 28-year-old's first homer in seven games with his new club, and he's now posted back-to-back multi-hit efforts after going 1-for-17 over his previous five contests. On the year, he's slashing .245/.332/.425 with nine long balls, 51 RBI and 32 runs scored across 316 plate appearances with the Red Sox and Orioles.

Suarez (5-3) earned the win against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Suarez allowed a grand slam in the third inning but was otherwise strong, throwing 63 of 93 total pitches for strikes while working into the sixth for the first time since returning from the injured list July 26. The southpaw has increased his pitch count in each of his five outings during that stretch and appears to be fully stretched out at this point. He'll carry a 3.41 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 113:33 K:BB across 113.1 innings this season into a road matchup with the Marlins next week.

Kelly (8-11) took the loss against the Red Sox on Tuesday, allowing six runs on seven hits and four walks with two strikeouts over four innings.

Kelly allowed only four hard-hit balls but had consistent traffic on the basepaths, yielding runs in three separate innings. The 37-year-old has now surrendered six earned runs in each of his past two starts, and he's 0-3 with an 8.24 ERA in four August outings overall. He'll carry a 5.37 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 84:57 K:BB across 129 innings this season into a home matchup with the Cubs next week.

Martinez (12-4) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out five across 3.2 innings.

The Rays needed a long outing from Martinez after the team leaned heavily on its bullpen during the previous four-game series against the Orioles. Unfortunately for Tampa Bay, Martinez didn't have his best stuff Tuesday, yielding two runs in the first, third and fourth innings while running his pitch count up to 82 (56 strikes, six whiffs). It was the first time this season that the veteran right-hander failed to complete four innings in a start and the third time in his last four outings that he's given up at least four runs. Martinez will take a 3.05 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 141.2 innings into his next start, lined up for this weekend against the Orioles at Camden Yards.

Gausman was removed from Tuesday's start against the White Sox with a left hand cramp, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Gausman was seen looking at his non-pitching hand in the top of the fourth inning and was removed from the game in the fifth after Miguel Vargas singled with one out. It sounds like Gausman should be ready to take the ball his next turn through the rotation after surrendering three runs on seven hits and two walks with five strikeouts on 86 pitches across 4.1 frames against the White Sox.

Moreno went 1-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Moreno gave Arizona an early lead with a grand slam off Ranger Suarez in the third inning. The 26-year-old has now hit safely in 12 straight games, tallying five multi-hit efforts with a whopping 10 extra-base hits and 11 RBI over that span. On the season, he's slashing .308/.385/.470 with 10 homers, 60 RBI, 54 runs scored and four steals across 408 plate appearances.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a run scored during the Rays' 10-5 loss to the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Diaz extended his hitting streak to nine games Tuesday, during which he's logged six multi-hit games while going 18-for-40 (.450) with three home runs, six RBI and 10 runs scored. He ranks third in the majors with 145 hits, and his .306 batting average is seventh best among qualified hitters.

Soriano (10-6) picked up the win against the Rays on Tuesday, allowing three runs on nine hits while striking out two across 5.2 innings. He did not issue a walk.

The nine hits Soriano gave up Tuesday were his most of the season. However, the damage was limited to three runs thanks to double plays that the Blue Jays turned in both the third and fifth innings, the former of which came when the Rays had the bases loaded. Through three starts with Toronto, Soriano has a 2.76 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over 16.1 innings, and his next start lines up for this weekend on the road against the Yankees.
