Steer went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Cubs.

Steer lifted his 13th homer of the year, and the four RBI matched his season-high output. The 27-year-old has a mediocre .697 OPS for the year, but he remains the Reds' top option at first base. Steer should also continue to see a boost in fantasy appeal at home -- he owns a .757 OPS at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park as opposed to a .633 OPS on the road in 2025.

Tellez went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Yankees.

With a go-ahead two-run single in the eighth inning, Tellez recorded his most RBI since July 19 versus the Tigers. The veteran slugger should continue to see a boost in playing time while Jake Burger (quad) remains sidelined, and the former is at least pushing for additional at-bats in his own right. Through 30 at-bats (13 games) since joining Texas, Tellez is hitting .300 with one home run, three doubles and seven RBI.

The Angels recalled Kavadas from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Kavadas' time in the majors will likely be brief, as he is filling in for Yoan Moncada (personal) while the former takes his U.S. citizenship test Tuesday. Kavadas owns an .821 OPS in Triple-A and will be on the bench for Tuesday's contest against Tampa Bay.

The Blue Jays selected Kennedy's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Since signing a minor-league deal with the Jays in mid-July, Kennedy has slashed just .207/.309/.259 with five RBI across 68 plate appearances with Buffalo. Despite his poor recent output, he'll join the major-league roster to provide Toronto with a glove capable of covering all three bases and left field. The Blue Jays designated catcher Ali Sanchez for assignment in a corresponding move.

Santana is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mets.

It marks the second time across the last three contests and fourth time over the last 12 games that Santana has been out of the lineup. The 39-year-old is slashing just .198/.265/.280 since the start of June and could continue ceding starts to C.J. Kayfus. It will be Kayfus handling first base and batting eighth for Cleveland on Tuesday.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and three total runs scored in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Monday.

Goldschmidt led off the game with a 419-foot blast to left field. The long ball was his first since June 19 -- a span of 31 games. Goldschmidt batted just .212 with only six RBI during the long power drought, but he's continued to hold down a near-everyday role at first base of late, starting seven of the Yankees' past eight games.

The Marlins released Mervis on Tuesday.

Mervis popped seven home runs for the Marlins in April, but he was sent down after a brutal May and was removed from the 40-man roster in June. The 27-year-old had hit seven home runs in 19 games with Triple-A Jacksonville since returning to action July 8 after missing time with an oblique strain, so he shouldn't have trouble landing a minor-league contract.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 6-3 win over the Twins.

That's consecutive two-hit games for Torkelson, who has managed to boost his season batting average up to .240. In 17 games following the All-Star break, the first baseman is batting .269. While the numbers don't jump off the page, the .240 average would be a new career best for Torkelson, as would his current .330 on-base percentage. The 25-year-old continues to deliver most of his fantasy value via his power stroke, as he's slugged 23 homers across 108 games.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Cardinals.

Freeman has hit safely in 12 of the last 13 games, going 20-for-52 (.385) with three homers and 12 RBI in that span. The first baseman's blast tied the game at 1-1 in the fourth inning, and it was the only hit the Dodgers could muster over seven frames against St. Louis starter Sonny Gray. Freeman is now at a 13 homers, 61 RBI, 55 runs scored, two stolen bases, 29 doubles and one triple while slashing .305/.375/.491 through 100 contests this season.

Locklear went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 win over the Padres.

Locklear has started four straight games at first base for Arizona since he was acquired from Seattle in the Eugenio Suarez deal last week. The Diamondbacks' sell-off at the deadline suggests a pivot toward evaluating for 2026, and getting a prospect like Locklear some significant playing time is a factor in that. In addition to his homer, he's added a stolen base and a 2:5 BB:K in his time with Arizona so far. He may face a challenge for playing time once Pavin Smith (oblique) returns from the injured list.
