Bell went 1-for-4 with a base hit and an RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Giants.

Bell will take a six-game hitting streak and three-game RBI streak into Wednesday's series finale in San Francisco. He'll start at first base and bat cleanup as the Padres go for the three-game sweep.

Santana went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a win over the Tigers on Tuesday.

Santana took Daniel Norris deep in the fifth inning with Ty France aboard for the Mariners' final two runs of the game. The veteran had last left the yard Aug. 10, and his productive effort Tuesday pushed his slash line over the last seven games to an impressive .273/.360/.455 across a sample of 25 plate appearances.

Pratto went 4-for-5 with two home runs for a total of three RBI and three runs scored in a 9-7 victory over the White Sox on Tuesday.

Pratto put together the best game of his young career with a four-hit effort that included two home runs off Lucas Giolito. The rookie first baseman is slashing .209/.295/.461 in 115 at-bats this season and has a path to continued playing time with Vinnie Pasquantino sidelined due to shoulder discomfort.

Tellez (knee) is starting Wednesday against the Pirates, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Tellez didn't play Tuesday due to a knee injury, but he'll serve as the designated hitter and bat third during Wednesday's series finale. Over his last four games, he's gone 3-for-11 with a homer, two runs, five walks and a strikeout.

Guerrero went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Cubs.

His solo shot in the seventh inning off Michael Rucker gave the Blue Jays a bit of insurance. Guerrero is putting the finishing touches on another solid month, slashing .283/.319/.513 through 26 games in August with eight doubles and six of his 27 homers on the season.

Naylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Orioles.

Naylor's fourth-inning blast put the Guardians ahead for good. The 25-year-old has had some struggles at the plate lately -- this homer was his first extra-base hit since Aug. 13. In his last 12 games, he's gone just 7-for-39 (.179), though the slump has yet to cost him his near-everyday role. Naylor is slashing .263/.315/.459 with 16 long balls, 61 RBI, 35 runs scored and five stolen bases through 93 contests this year.

Walker went 3-for-4 with a double, a hit-by-pitch and two runs scored in Tuesday's 12-3 win over the Phillies.

Walker is swinging a hot bat in August, going 34-for-100 (.340) through 27 contests. Eight of those games have been multi-hit efforts, and he's added seven home runs, seven doubles, 21 RBI and 23 runs scored. The strong month has lifted his season slash line to a serviceable .231/.330/.478 with 30 homers, 73 RBI, 68 runs scored and 19 doubles through 126 contests overall.

Rizzo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Angels.

Rizzo homered for the second straight game, taking Mike Mayers deep in the second inning Tuesday. This long ball was Rizzo's 30th of the season, making this the first time he's reached that threshold since 2017. He's only two homers shy of his career high, a mark he reached in three of four seasons between 2014 and 2017. In 2022, the first baseman is slashing .225/.339/.493 with 71 RBI, 71 runs scored and six stolen bases through 116 contests.

Cron went 1-for-5 with two RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's win over Atlanta.

Cron was a big part of Colorado's victory against Atlanta, as he accounted for all three runs his team scored. The first baseman has cooled off significantly as the multi-RBI effort was just his second in the last 14 games. In that stretch, he is batting just .208 and has knocked in only six RBI.

France went 3-for-4 with a homer, three runs scored and two RBI in a 9-3 win Tuesday in Detroit.

France hit a solo shot in the second and singled and scored in his next two plate appearances. He's homered in consecutive games after hitting just one long ball in his previous 24 contests. With 16 homers on the season, the All-Star is two shy of his 2021 total, when he set a career high.
