Mountcastle went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 13-3 rout of the Blue Jays.

Getting the start at first base and batting second against southpaw Hyun Jin Ryu, Mountcastle produced two two-baggers for the second straight game at the Rogers Centre. The 26-year-old had been struggling prior to a bout of vertigo in June that caused him to miss about a month of action, but since the All-Star break he's slashing .372/.417/.674 in 15 games with seven doubles, two homers, eight RBI and 10 runs. The O's have two more games left in Toronto during this series, and Mountcastle's career 1.021 OPS in 199 plate appearances against the Blue Jays will make him an enticing DFS option.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Yankees.

Diaz has just three homers in his last 47 games after hitting 12 in his first 43 contests. Still, the 31-year-old first baseman has been productive with the bat, going 22-for-63 (.349) over his last 16 games. Diaz is now slashing .317/.402/.509 with 63 runs scored and 52 RBI across 396 plate appearances this season.

Freeman went 4-for-5 with a double, one RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Athletics.

Freeman stole a base for his second consecutive game, giving him a career-high 14 on the year. The first baseman is also swinging a hot bat with eight multi-hit efforts over his last 13 games, batting .472 (25-for-53) in that span. He's up to a .334/.413/.580 slash line with 21 home runs, 74 RBI, 91 runs scored and 36 doubles through 105 contests. Freeman's .993 OPS trails only Shohei Ohtani (1.082) in the majors.

France went 3-for-4 with two doubles and one RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox.

France has a pair of three-hit efforts over his last three games. Entering Tuesday, he had gone nine contests without an extra-base hit before slapping a pair of doubles. The first baseman is up to a .255/.325/.373 slash line with seven home runs, 40 RBI, 57 runs scored, one stolen base and 26 doubles through 104 games this season.

Wade went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Wade had gone 0-for-9 with two walks over his previous three games before getting back on track Tuesday. His seventh-inning solo shot ended up being the difference in the Giants' win, and it was his 10th homer of the year. The first baseman is up to a .267/.398/.421 slash line with 29 RBI, 45 runs scored and two stolen bases over 93 contests. He continues to occupy the leadoff spot versus right-handed pitchers.

The Padres acquired Cooper and Sean Reynolds from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for Ryan Weathers, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Cooper has a .722 OPS and 13 home runs in 82 games this season and will now make his way to San Diego. The 32-year-old could find himself in the short side of a platoon at designated hitter since the Friars also acquired the lefty-hitting Ji-Man Choi on Tuesday.

Miami acquired Bell from the Guardians on Tuesday in exchange for infielders Jean Segura and Kahlil Watson, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

The Marlins moved Garrett Cooper to the Padres just before the 6 p.m. ET deadline, and Bell will replace Cooper as an option at first base and designated hitter. Bell, a 30-year-old former All-Star, had slashed .233/.318/.383 with 11 home runs and 48 RBI through 97 games this season for Cleveland.

Naylor was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against Houston due to right side tightness, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

No details have been provided regarding the severity of Naylor's injury, but it is apparently enough to keep him out of Tuesday's contest. David Fry will enter as Cleveland's first baseman and bat fifth.

Beaty (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Beaty landed on the shelf June 23 after suffering a concussion, and he'll rejoin the Royals on Tuesday after a six-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha. The 30-year-old has appeared in just seven big-league games this season and should fill a bench role now that he's healthy.

O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

O'Hearn started the past four games and will receive a day off after he went 5-for-16 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs during that stretch. Ryan Mountcastle will shift to first base while Gunnar Henderson serves as the designated hitter versus Toronto lefty Hyun Jin Ryu.
