Red Sox's Bobby Dalbec: Makes BoSox history in twin bill
Dalbec homered in both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Phillies, going a combined 3-for-6 with a walk and four RBI.
The rookie feasted on the Phillies' setup crew, taking Tommy Hunter deep for a solo shot in the sixth inning of the matinee before launching a two-run shot off David Phelps in the same frame during the nightcap. The latter blast proved to be the game-winner, giving the Red Sox a split in the twin bill. Dalbec has now gone yard in four straight games, the longest homer streak by a rookie in franchise history, and he has five blasts in his first nine MLB games.

Rowdy Tellez 1B | ATL
Blue Jays' Rowdy Tellez: Heading for MRI
Tellez will undergo an MRI on his right knee Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The 25-year-old began experiencing knee discomfort after stepping on a soft spot around the on-field bullpen, and the MRI will reveal the specifics of the injury. Tellez won't have a return timeline until the MRI results come back, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him receive Wednesday off regardless of the diagnosis.

Jake Cronenworth 2B | SD
Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Not starting Tuesday
Cronenworth is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.
Cronenworth has emerged as an everyday player for the Padres, as he sits for the first time since Aug. 13. With a .325/.378/.561 season slash line, it's easy to see why he keeps getting opportunities. Greg Garcia will make a rare start at second base in his absence.

Dominic Smith DH | ATL
Mets' Dominic Smith: Sits against southpaw
Smith will hit the bench Tuesday against lefty John Means and the Orioles.
Thanks to his excellent .322/.390/.636 season slash line, Smith is emerging as a near-everyday player for the Mets, starting against six of the last seven lefties the team had faced prior to Tuesday's contest. Pete Alonso will be the first baseman Tuesday, with Jeff McNeil starting in left field.

Asdrubal Cabrera 1B | CIN
Nationals' Asdrubal Cabrera: Back in lineup
Cabrera (back) returns to the lineup Tuesday against the Rays, batting sixth and playing first base.
Cabrera sat out Monday's game with a sore back but is ready to go just one day later. The veteran has failed to impress at the plate this season, hitting just .223/.293/.396.

Ty France 1B | SD
Mariners' Ty France: Continues clutch hitting in win
France went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in a win over the Rangers on Monday.
The trade-deadline acquisition from the Padres came through yet again, delivering the third and fourth RBI of his four-game tenure with the Mariners. France's strong start, which doesn't yet include any extra-base hits but does feature three walks and two runs, supports the notion he should continue to enjoy an everyday role for the balance of the season.

Yankees' Luke Voit: Crushes 14th homer
