Massey went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Red Sox.

Massey has started four of the last six games at second base, as he's lost out on playing time as the designated hitter with Freddy Fermin and Salvador Perez filling that role more frequently. Since the end of July, Massey has found more consistency at the plate, going 6-for-19 (.316) with five extra-base hits, including a pair of solo shots. For the season, the second baseman is slashing .255/.280/.480 with 10 homers, 31 RBI, 32 runs scored, 10 doubles and two triples over 58 games.

Hoerner went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Twins. He also stole a base.

Hoerner reached 20 stolen bases in a season for the third straight year as he continued his strong recent play. Over his last 10 games, the infielder is batting .302, and he's swiped six bases in that span. Hoerner isn't a huge power threat with just four home runs on the season, but he can be an effective fantasy asset when he's reaching base and running often.

Farmer (shoulder) is starting a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A St. Paul, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Farmer has been out nearly a month due to a shoulder strain but has now been cleared for game action. The 33-year-old may not require a lengthy rehab stint before rejoining the Twins.

Stott isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

The left-handed bat of Stott will step out of the lineup Tuesday as the Phillies face southpaw Clayton Kershaw. Edmundo Sosa will step in to cover second base while batting ninth.

Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia.

Lux will take a seat Tuesday as the Dodgers prepare to face left-hander Cristopher Sanchez and the Phillies. Amed Rosario will fill in at second base and bat fifth.

McNeil isn't in the Mets' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Rockies.

With lefty Kyle Freeland slated to throw the first pitch for Colorado, the lefty-hitting McNeil will step out of the lineup Tuesday. Jose Iglesias will fill in at the keystone and bat sixth.

Brujan is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Brujan drew the start in center field Monday -- a position he could see regular work at moving forward -- but he'll take a seat Tuesday in favor of Cristian Pache. The pair are likely to share center field duties, but Derek Hill could mix in at the position.

Gelof went 0-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs in a win over the White Sox on Monday.

Gelof wreaked some havoc during the pair of occasions he reached safely, coming home with his 39th and 40th runs of the season while also recording his 14th steal. Yet, Gelof's busy night on the bases notwithstanding, he's mired in the midst of another nightmarish stretch at the plate, one that's seen him hit .077 (2-for-26) over his last nine games and drop his season slash line to an anemic .188/.258/.349 in the process.

Garcia went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Giants.

The 24-year-old second baseman came into 2024 with just 13 career stolen bases in the majors, but Monday's pilfer was his 18th in 21 attempts this season. Garcia's on pace for career highs nearly across the board in a breakout campaign, slashing .290/.324/.459 through 97 games with 13 homers, 40 runs and 53 RBI, and he's been blazing hot of late -- over his last 24 games, he boasts a .395/.435/.686 slash line with six long balls and seven steals.

Brujan went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's loss to the Reds.

Getting the start in center field and batting eighth, Brujan made little impact at the plate, but his arrow is pointed up for fantasy purposes. The 26-year-old switch hitter is batting .231 (6-for-26) since the All-Star break with three doubles, a steal, an RBI, five runs scored and a 6:7 BB:K, and with Nick Gordon booted off the roster, Brujan will compete with Cristian Pache and Derek Hill for playing time in center field.
