Stewart went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Giants.

Stewart got the Reds on the board by taking Carson Seymour deep in the ninth inning, though it didn't spoil the San Francisco reliever's first save. Stewart has been a pinnacle of consistency in August, hitting safely in 21 of 24 games while going 28-for-95 (.295) with five homers and 15 RBI. The first baseman is batting .263 with an .810 OPS, 28 homers, 99 RBI, 74 runs scored, 24 doubles and 12 stolen bases through 133 contests overall.

Devers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Reds.

Devers has found some power lately with four homers and eight RBI over his last nine games. Six of his last eight hits have gone for extra bases. The infielder is batting .244 with an .802 OPS, 28 homers, 74 RBI, 72 runs scored, 31 doubles and one triple across 132 contests this season. If he's able to reach the 30-homer mark this year, it'll mark the fifth time in his 10-year career that he's produced at least 30 homers and doubles in a season.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets due to some swelling in his foot, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The swelling stems from Sunday's game versus Atlanta in Williamsport, where he fouled a pitch off himself. He said he's fine to play but will still get a day off against Mets lefty Zac Thornton.

Sheets isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Sheets will step out of the starting nine Tuesday after going 0-for-4 with a pair of walks across San Diego's last three games. Luis Rengifo will serve as the designated hitter while Sheets sits, opening up left field for Dustin Harris.

Chaparro is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rockies.

Chaparro has now been out of the lineup for two straight games and three of the past four tilts. CJ Abrams is getting another day at designated hitter for the Nationals.

Stowers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox

Stowers went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double and two strikeouts Monday in his first game back from a hamstring injury, and it appears the Marlins are easing him back into action with a day off Tuesday. Leo Jimenez is filling in at first base and batting sixth versus Boston lefty Payton Tolle.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

Devers walloped a Chase Burns fastball over the fence in right-center field for a three-run homer in the second inning. The 29-year-old slugger has launched five long balls in 21 August games, though he's posted just a .224 batting average this month. Overall, Devers is slashing .243/.321/.475 with 27 homers, 73 RBI and 71 runs across 131 tilts.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that Toglia will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Toglia dislocated his shoulder while making a diving catch during Friday's win over the Diamondbacks, and after further tests and consultations, surgery has been determined to be the best option for the 28-year-old. He wound up playing just 10 games at the big-league level this season, going 3-for-26 (.116 average) with two doubles, two walks and an RBI. Toglia is a likely non-tender candidate this offseason.

Chaparro is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Chaparro has begun to gain traction as an everyday player, but the Nationals won't have room in the lineup for him Monday while CJ Abrams is limited to serving as the team's designated hitter after a sprained ankle kept him on the bench for the previous four contests. So long as Abrams is able to resume duties in the middle infield in short order, Chaparro's playing-time outlook should remain favorable over the final month of the season.

Miami optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

After a two-day stint in the majors, De Los Santos will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to first baseman/outfielder Kyle Stowers (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. De Los Santos should get the chance to play on an everyday basis upon returning to Jacksonville.
