Brendan Donovan 2B | STL
Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Exits with toe injury
Donovan was removed from Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays due to toe discomfort, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
It's unclear what caused Donovan's injury, but his toe forced him out of the game in the ninth inning after he had gone 0-for-3 with a run scored. Fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day for now, though Nolan Gorman could pick up some additional starts at second base if Donovan has to miss any amount of time.

Adam Frazier 2B | KC
Pirates' Adam Frazier: Another start in left field
Frazier will start in left field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game against the Marlins.
Frazier, who is hitting .377/.441/.528 over his last 15 games, will draw his second straight start in left field. With Tommy Pham and Alexander Canario providing little offense from the left field spot, Frazier could get some extended run at the position against right-handed pitching.

Bryson Stott 2B | PHI
Phillies' Bryson Stott: Moves down in order amidst slump
Stott will start at second base and bat fifth in Tuesday's game versus the Cubs.
Stott has been the Phillies' regular leadoff man against right-handers since mid-April, but he's moving down in the order as the Cubs send righty Colin Rea to the bump. The 27-year-old Stott is slashing only .195/.244/.260 since the start of May.

Christian Koss SS | SF
Giants' Christian Koss: Back in big leagues
The Giants recalled Koss from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The 27-year-old was demoted last week but will rejoin San Francisco with Matt Chapman (hand) landing on the injured list. Koss has a .219/.275/.266 slash line over 72 plate appearances in the majors this season and will likely fill a reserve role while up with the big club.

Adam Frazier 2B | KC
Pirates' Adam Frazier: Continues torrid stretch in rout
Frazier went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 10-3 win over the Marlins.
Frazier recorded his fourth three-hit game of the season, with each coming in his last 12 games. During this span, the veteran utility man is batting a torrid .395 (17-for-43) with one home run, four doubles, five RBI and six runs scored. Frazier regularly sits against southpaws and continues to see limited playing time since Nick Gonzales returned -- Frazier has taken just 19 at-bats versus lefties in 2025 and has started just four of Pittsburgh's past eight contests.

Over his past 10 games, he's hit safely seven times with a homer, six RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base. While the 30-year-old has surprisingly swiped just three bags this season, he's hitting .244 with nine home runs, 32 RBI and 29 runs scored across 190 plate appearances. Most impressively, he's batting .343 with a 1.096 OPS with runners in scoring position.

Reds' Matt McLain: Hits go-ahead homer in win
McLain went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
McLain broke a 2-2 tie with what proved to be the game-winning homer off Zac Gallen in the seventh inning. It was the 25-year-old's first long ball since May 15, and he's showing signs of life with five hits and four RBI over his past five games. On the year, he owns a disappointing .197/.283/.318 slash line with seven home runs, 22 RBI, 27 runs scored and 11 steals across 227 plate appearances.

McNeil opened the scoring with a solo homer in the second inning and added a three-run shot in the fourth. The 33-year-old has now started seven straight games between second base and center field, collecting five extra-base hits during that span. On the season, he's slashing .257/.355/.533 with six homers, 17 RBI, 12 runs scored and a stolen base across 124 plate appearances.

Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Ejected from Sunday's contest
Hoerner was ejected from Sunday's game against the Tigers for arguing balls and strikes, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
