Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Swipes bag Tuesday
Schneemann went 2-for-5 with a double, a steal and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.
Schneemann notched only his second multi-hit game since June 26 and swiped his third bag this month after a single in the opening frame. He has a .444 on-base percentage over his last nine games, reaching base a total of 16 times, but is slashing just .221/.310/.381 with nine homers, 28 RBI, 33 runs, eight steals and a 31:68 BB:K in 278 plate appearances this season.

Christian Moore 2B | LAA
Angels' Christian Moore: Beginning rehab stint Wednesday
Moore (thumb) will kick off a minor-league rehab assignment with Single-A Inland Empire on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Moore has been on the IL since July 3 due to a sprained left thumb. He resumed baseball activities late last week and has been playing catch, fielding grounders and swinging a bat. Moore could be back with the Angels in a matter of days, though it's unclear how the Angels will manage the infield upon his return. Luis Rengifo has been starting at second base of late and hitting well, while Yoan Moncada is the starter at third base, though he's currently sidelined by a hand injury.

Liover Peguero SS | PIT
Pirates' Liover Peguero: Clubs homer
Peguero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Giants.
Peguero tied the game at 1-1 in the fifth inning and added another RBI with a groundout in the eighth. The long ball was his first in the majors since the 2023 campaign, though he's hit a combined 18 homers over 200 games with Triple-A Indianapolis in 2024 and 2025. In the majors this year, he is batting .263 with a 1:5 BB:K across 21 plate appearances. He's made starts at first base, second base and shortstop over the last four games and appears to be a reserve utility infielder at this time.

Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC
Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Knocks fourth homer
Hoerner went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to Milwaukee.
Hoerner singled in the second and fourth innings before knocking a solo shot in the sixth. He snapped a 23-game homerless drought and now has four home runs in 103 games this season, all of them coming in his last 29 contests. In that same 29-game span, he's stolen only five bags and has not swiped any in his last six appearances. Hoerner is slashing .293/.340/.385 with 58 runs scored this year.

Luis Garcia 2B | WAS
Nationals' Luis Garcia: Goes deep in defeat
Garcia went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Astros.
Although his six-game hitting streak reached a close after he entered as a pinch hitter in Monday's win over Houston, Garcia got right back on track Tuesday and now has at least one hit in his last seven starts. The infielder remains Washington's primary second baseman, but he has routinely been on the bench versus left-handed starters. That said, Garcia is batting a healthy .277 with nine long balls, 19 doubles and 41 RBI through 278 at-bats against right-handed pitching.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Knocks 10th homer
Sosa went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia.
Sosa knocked a two-run shot in the ninth inning of the 6-3 loss. He's up to 10 home runs through 91 games this season, including six over his last 26 games. Tuesday's long ball snapped an 11-game homerless drought. Sosa is now slashing .274/.299/.422 for the year and has gone 21-for-72 (.292) over his last 19 games.

Brice Matthews SS | HOU
Astros' Brice Matthews: Sitting out again Tuesday
Matthews is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Nationals.
Matthews is just 1-for-15 with nine strikeouts over his previous five games and has now been out of the lineup three times across the Astros' last five contests. Shay Whitcomb is handling second base and batting eighth Tuesday.

Tommy Edman 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Returns to lineup Tuesday
Edman (ankle) will start at third base and bat seventh in Tuesday's contest versus the Reds.
Edman was absent from Monday's lineup due to a right ankle injury he suffered over the weekend, but he tested the ankle out pregame Tuesday and felt well enough to give it a go. The switch hitter is slashing a woeful .150/.239/.200 in July.

Hye Seong Kim 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Placed on IL with shoulder issue
The Dodgers placed Kim on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left shoulder bursitis.
Kim has been nursing the shoulder problem for more than a week, and while he was in the Dodgers' lineup Monday in Cincinnati, the team has ultimately decided it's best for the 26-year-old to rest for a bit. According to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, Kim will head back to Los Angeles to receive an injection and will be shut down for a few days, but there's optimism he won't be sidelined for too long.
