  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Nursing foot injury

    Westburg was removed from Tuesday's game with Triple-A Norfolk after being hit by a pitch on the left foot, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Westburg has an .872 OPS since being promoted to Norfolk in early June, but he's now dealing with a potential foot injury. The 23-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

  • Luis Urias 2B | TOR

    Brewers' Luis Urias: Big night in win

    Urias went 3-for-4 with a homer, two runs scored and two RBI in a 7-6 win Tuesday over Minnesota.

    Urias singled and scored in the second, hit a solo shot in the third and walked it off with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. It was his first three-hit game of the season and he has now reached base safely in 11 of his last 12 contests. In July, he has posted a .279/.354/.456 line with three homers.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Takes seat Tuesday

    Altuve is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Oakland.

    The 32-year-old started the first six games out of the All-Star break and will receive Tuesday off after posting an .815 OPS with two home runs, three RBI and five runs in that stretch. Aledmys Diaz will start at the keystone in Altuve's place.

  • Jonathan Arauz 3B | LAD

    Orioles' Jonathan Arauz: Heads to IL

    The Orioles placed Arauz (finger) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

    The sprained finger Arauz suffered Monday will keep him out at least until next Friday. Baltimore won't miss much offense in his absence, as he's managed just five hits with 12 strikeouts in 38 at-bats this season.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | KC

    Diamondbacks' Josh Rojas: Idle Tuesday

    Rojas is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

    Rojas will get a day off after he went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and three stolen bases in Monday's series opener. Sergio Alcantara will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh versus San Francisco.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | PHI

    Twins' Luis Arraez: Sits against lefty

    Arraez is not in the lineup Tuesday in Milwaukee, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Arraez has gone 4-for-9 with a pair of runs and three RBI in two games after the break. He figures to re-enter the lineup Wednesday versus Corbin Burnes, if not Tuesday as a pinch hitter.

  • Elvis Andrus 2B | ARI

    Athletics' Elvis Andrus: Three-hit night in win

    Andrus went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI singles and a run in a win over the Astros on Monday.

    The veteran shortstop was one of the most productive hitters for the Athletics in the upset win, and he extended his hitting streak to eight games in the process. Andrus sports a stellar .297/.388/.473 slash line overall over his last 22 games, yet Monday marked only his second multi-hit effort over that extended sample.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Plates career-high five runs

    Stott went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a two-run double in Monday's 6-4 win over Atlanta.

    The five RBI were a new career-high total for the rookie, who had previously driven in three runs on two other occasions this season. Stott's two-out homer in the bottom of the eighth inning allowed the Phillies to take their first lead of the night and eventually put an end to a three-game losing streak. Though Stott is still under the Mendoza Line for the season (.196 average), he's slashing a more palatable .234/.312/.426 since the beginning of June.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Finds power stroke Monday

    Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Orioles.

    The second baseman took Austin Voth deep in the third inning, but it was all the offense the Rays could muster. The long ball was Lowe's sixth of the year and first since coming off the injured list just before the All-Star break, but he's been plenty productive during that time, going 10-for-23 (.435) in his last six games with two doubles, two RBI and five runs in addition to Monday's homer.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Belts first career slam

    India went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a grand slam and a second run scored in Monday's 11-2 rout of the Marlins.

    The 25-year-old cleared the bases off Zach Pop in the fifth inning for his first career slam. India appears to have found his Rookie of the Year form once again -- over his last 14 games, he's slashing .315/.383/.611 with four homers, a steal, 11 RBI and 12 runs.
