Joe went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Astros.

Joe notched his first multi-hit game since June 26. The 31-year-old is batting a meager .224 (11-for-49) in July, and just two of those hits have gone for extra bases. For the season, he's slashing .244/.325/.383 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 42 runs scored and two stolen bases across 332 plate appearances. Joe got the start in right field Tuesday, but he'll likely be back in a short-side platoon role at first base once outfielder Bryan De La Cruz reports to the Pirates after they acquired him in a trade with the Marlins earlier in the day.

The Tigers traded Canha to the Giants on Tuesday in exchange for pitching prospect Eric Silva, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Canha is returning to the Bay Area after spending the first seven years of his career in Oakland, but this time he's bound for the other side of the Bay. He was a good bet to be dealt before the deadline, hence his omission from the starting lineup for the Tigers in Tuesday's game versus the Guardians. In July, the 35-year-old has slashed .250/.344/.385 with one home run. Canha has started 31 games at first base, 33 in the outfield and 31 as the designated hitter this season. The Giants recently parted with Jorge Soler, who started in 92 games at DH, in a trade with Atlanta, potentially opening up a path to regular playing time for Canha.

The Diamondbacks placed Walker on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained left oblique.

Walker will head to the IL for the first time since the 2021 season after he tweaked the oblique muscle during Monday's 9-8 win over the Nationals. The first baseman was diagnosed with a low-grade strain following an MRI and hopes to rejoin the Diamondbacks in about three weeks, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. In a corresponding move, Pavin Smith was recalled from Triple-A Reno, but it'll likely be trade-acquisition Josh Bell that works as Arizona's primary first baseman for the duration of Walker's absence.

The Diamondbacks received "relatively good news" on Walker's (oblique) MRI but are still expected to place him on the 10-day injured list, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Walker tweaked his oblique in Monday's win over the Nationals. While it sounds like the strain isn't overly severe, it's bad enough that he'll be out, at minimum, for the next 10 days. Arizona acquired Josh Bell via trade with the Marlins earlier Tuesday and will install him as its first baseman while Walker recovers.

The Diamondbacks acquired Bell from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

The acquisition of Bell would seem to indicate that the Diamondbacks expect to be without everyday first baseman Christian Walker for a while after Walker suffered an oblique injury in Monday's 9-8 win over the Nationals. While Bell has posted a mediocre .699 OPS on the season, he's been sizzling at the plate of late with six home runs over his last 12 contests. The Marlins will cover approximately $3.25 million of the $5.5 million remaining on Bell's $16.5 million salary for 2024 as part of the trade, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said after Monday's 9-8 win over the Nationals that concern about the left oblique injury Walker suffered during the game is "not minimal," ESPN.com reports. The skipper added that Walker is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday.

Lovullo is holding out hope that Walker won't have to miss much time, but the Diamondbacks won't have a clearer idea regarding the length of a potential absence for the first baseman until the results of his MRI are read. Walker can be viewed as day-to-day for now, but fantasy managers should at the very least expect him to be out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest. Kevin Newman came off the bench to replace Walker ahead of the fourth inning of Monday's game, but Arizona could recall Pavin Smith from Triple-A Reno and have him serve as the primary first baseman should Walker require a stint on the injured list.

Hoskins went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

Hoskins has tapped into his power with three homers over his last four games and seven long balls over 20 contests in July. The first baseman is at 18 homers on the year, but he's bounced back nicely after lacking in power in June. For the season, he's slashing .219/.309/.442 with 55 RBI, 35 runs scored, two stolen bases and nine doubles over 327 plate appearances.

Walker was removed from Monday's game against the Nationals after three innings due to left oblique tightness. He struck out in his lone plate appearance before exiting the contest.

An explanation behind Walker's early departure wasn't immediately known when Kevin Newman came off the bench to replace him in the top of the fourth inning, but the Diamondbacks provided clarity on the matter shortly thereafter. The fact that the injury is to the right-handed hitting Walker's left side isn't a great sign, but the Diamondbacks will wait and see what further tests reveal before providing a prognosis for the 33-year-old first baseman.

Busch went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk in Monday's 7-1 loss to the Reds.

Busch provided the only offense for the Cubs on Monday with a solo home run off Buck Farmer in the ninth inning. Busch's 13 homers are the second most by a rookie in MLB this season, trailing Colton Cowser (15). Busch continues his strong rookie campaign with a solid month of July in which he's hitting .273 with a .780 OPS.

Alonso went 2-for-5 with a homer, a double, three runs scored and two RBI in Monday's 15-2 victory over Minnesota.

The New York slugger went yard for the second straight day and continued his post-break hot streak, as he entered slashing .278/.395/.556 with six extra-base hits over 43 plate appearances since the All-Star Game. Alonso cracked a 409-foot solo homer off Simeon Woods Richardson to open a six-run fourth inning for the Mets. Overall, the first baseman is now hitting .246 with 22 homers, 61 runs scored and 57 RBI on the season.
