Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Tallies another three-hit game
Torres went 3-for-5 with a double in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Pirates.
Torres recorded his second three-hit effort in his last three games and his third over his last seven contests. In his last 10 games, the infielder is now batting a robust .368 with five walks and five runs scored. Torres has been an effective fantasy performer in his first campaign with the Tigers, and he should continue to set the table for the likes of Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson in a potent Detroit lineup.

Thomas Saggese SS | STL
Cardinals' Thomas Saggese: Scratched Tuesday
Saggese was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus Colorado, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Saggese's removal from the starting nine doesn't seem to be injury-related. Alec Burleson (foot) was cleared to play shortly before first pitch, so he'll enter the lineup in left field and move Brendan Donovan to second base, which leaves no room for Saggese. The 23-year-old doubled during his lone at-bat since being recalled from Triple-A on Saturday but will likely continue to have a hard time getting into the lineup.

Jack Winkler 2B | MIA
Marlins' Jack Winkler: Back in majors
The Marlins recalled Winkler from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The 26-year-old has spent the past three weeks in the minors but will rejoin the Marlins on Tuesday with Derek Hill (finger) landing on the injured list. Winkler has appeared in nine MLB games this season and has gone 1-for-11 with a stolen base, a run and four strikeouts.

Kody Clemens 1B | MIN
Twins' Kody Clemens: Resting Tuesday
Clemens isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.
Clemens racked up four hits and four RBI over his first two games out of the All-Star break, but he went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and a sacrifice fly Monday. He'll now take a seat Tuesday, opening a spot in the lineup for Ty France to start at first base.

Tommy Edman 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Edman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.
Edman has gone 3-for-13 with a homer and two runs scored in four games since the All-Star break. He'll get a breather Tuesday while Hyeseong Kim starts at second base and Miguel Rojas covers third.

Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Lands on injured list
The Rays placed Lowe on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to left ankle/foot tendinitis, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Lowe was removed from Saturday's win over the Orioles after experiencing a flareup of plantar fasciitis in his left foot, though the injury is now being described as foot and ankle tendinitis. The second baseman was sent in for an MRI, though the severity of the injury isn't yet known. Lowe will be eligible to be reinstated next week, but it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined.

Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Thriving in leadoff spot
Edwards went 3-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Padres.
The 25-year-old switch hitter didn't get any help from his teammates to bring him home, but Edwards had another productive performance from the top of the Marlins' order. He swiped his 17th bag of the season while continuing a hot streak that has seen him hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games. He's slashing .362/.375/.617 during that stretch with nine extra-base hits (seven doubles, a triple and his second career homer) and nine runs scored.

Adael Amador SS | COL
Rockies' Adael Amador: Two hits in return to majors
Amador went 2-for-3 with a run scored Monday against the Cardinals.
The Rockies are dealing with a number of injuries to their middle infield, so Amador was recalled Sunday. He was in the starting lineup one day later at second base while hitting ninth, and he delivered a pair of singles. Amador struggled during his first stint in the majors this season, but he could continue to get some looks at second base while Ryan Ritter (finger) and Thairo Estrada (thumb) are sidelined.

Marcus Semien 2B | NYM
Rangers' Marcus Semien: Swipes bag in win
Semien went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.
Semien stole his eighth base of the season in the first inning but was stranded there. He's yet to garner a hit in the second half, going 0-for-14 with two walks in the four games following the All-Star break.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Returns to lineup
Marte served as the designated hitter, batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Monday's 6-3 loss to Houston.
Marte helped give Arizona an early lead when he doubled to leadoff the bottom of the first inning and scored. Monday was his return to the starting lineup and first game coming out of the All-Star break after missing three games related to a personal issue. Marte had a groin injury earlier this month, which may factor into him not yet playing the field.
