Busch went 4-for-6 with a solo home run and an additional run in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Orioles.

Busch got the scoring started Tuesday by taking Dean Kremer deep in the top of the first and kept it going by registering his first four-hit game of the season. Busch has homered in back-to-back games, with the two blasts matching the total he had in his previous 32 games combined. The 26-year-old has now left the yard on 12 occasions overall, tying him with Jackson Merrill and Colton Cowser for the most by a rookie this season.

Tellez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Brewers.

Tellez is 11-for-29 (.379) with five homers and 10 RBI over his last nine contests. The first baseman has found another level to his game -- he had just three homers over his first 68 contests this year. Overall, he's slashing .249/.304/.394 with eight long balls, 30 RBI, 27 runs scored and one stolen base over 240 plate appearances. Tellez is likely to remain in a strong-side platoon role, but he's got upside with his power when he's seeing the ball as well as he has lately.

Busch went 4-for-6 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Orioles.

It was Busch's first four-hit effort of the season as he raised his batting average from .264 to .273. The 26-year-old is enjoying a good first year in Chicago with the solid average along with 12 home runs and an .838 OPS across 85 games. After not really getting an opportunity to break in with the Dodgers, Busch has found an everyday role and has developed into a solid fantasy contributor.

Gallo (hamstring) participated in batting practice Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Manager Dave Martinez noted that Gallo has also resumed fielding groundballs within the past week, though the 30-year-old still has yet to run the bases since beginning a running program June 24. Gallo will almost certainly need to embark on a rehab assignment before he can return to the Nationals, but he seems to still have some hurdles to clear before he can begin playing in minor-league games.

The Giants reinstated Flores (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Flores landed on the injured list June 28 due to right knee tendinitis, and he's been given the green light to return to the active roster after slightly more than a minimum-length stay on the IL. The 32-year-old has slashed just .206/.282/.317 with 25 RBI in 227 plate appearances, though he'll presumably operate in the short side of a platoon at first base with LaMonte Wade.

The Phillies optioned Clemens to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Clemens got some run at first base while Bryce Harper (hamstring) was on the injured list, but Clemens will head back to the minors after Harper was reinstated ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Dodgers. In 24 contests with the Phillies this season, Clemens has slashed .242/.277/.500 with three home runs.

The Phillies activated Harper (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Harper spent the minimum 10 days on the IL while he recovered from a strained left hamstring. He'll be back in action for Tuesday's series opener against the Dodgers, manning first base and batting third.

Bryant (oblique/rib) said Monday that he likely won't be activated from the 10-day injured list until after the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.

Bryant took full batting practice in Cincinnati on Monday for the first time since landing on the shelf in early June with a left rib contusion and oblique strain. While Bryant suggested that he responded well to taking BP, he'll still need to go out on a minor-league rehab assignment before eventually making his return from the IL. The upcoming All-Star break will limit Bryant's opportunities to stockpile at-bats in game settings, but the 32-year-old still seems to be trending toward being activated before the end of July.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 6-0 win over the Nationals.

Goldschmidt has logged a trio of multi-hit efforts over his first seven contests in July, going 9-for-34 (.265) in that span. The first baseman is still struggling overall with a .229/.293/.369 slash line for the year, adding 12 homers, 34 RBI, 45 runs scored and six stolen bases across 87 games. He has five homers and 12 RBI over 28 contests since the start of June.

Freeman went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Brewers.

Freeman walked in the third and stole second base but was left there stranded with the bases loaded. It was just his fourth swipe of the year and his first since June 5. The 34-year-old has started off July well at the dish, tallying eight hits, six RBI and a 5:5 BB:K over his first six games of the month. It's a continuation of what he's been doing all season long, as he's slashing .301/.406/.506 with 13 homers, 58 RBI, 55 runs and a 54:61 BB:K in 399 plate appearances.
