Garcia went 1-for-5 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Red Sox.

Garcia extended his hitting streak to 12 games, a span in which he's gone 15-for-51 (.294). He's also racked up eight strikeouts in that span, but his 20.4 percent strikeout rate for the season has been fine for his contact-based approach. He's slashing .278/.322/.379 with four home runs, 18 steals, 38 RBI and 38 runs scored over 81 contests.

Paredes went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over the Cardinals.

Paredes broke through against Miles Mikolas in the seventh inning with a solo homer, tying the game 1-1. The 24-year-old Paredes now has 22 long balls on the year and five in his last 15 games. Overall, he's slashing .254/.362/.508 with 67 RBI and 51 runs scored across 384 plate appearances this season.

Urias was removed from Tuesday's game against the Astros with left heel discomfort, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The severity of Urias' injury is unknown, but the Orioles will get a chance to take a closer look at him after Tuesday's game. Until more information is available, fantasy managers should consider Urias day-to-day.

LeMahieu is not in the lineup Tuesday against the White Sox.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa will cover third base and bat sixth versus the White Sox and right-hander Touki Toussaint. Jake Bauers is playing first base and hitting leadoff. LeMahieu holds a rough .240/.315/.373 overall season slash line, though he has come to life a bit in the last few weeks.

Chapman is not in the lineup Tuesday at Cleveland.

Chapman will grab some physical and mental rest after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's series opener against the Guardians. Santiago Espinal is covering third base and batting eighth for the Blue Jays on Tuesday night.

Kreidler (core) has gone 3-for-13 with a double and a stolen base in three games for Triple-A Toledo since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Thursday.

Kreidler rejoined the Toledo lineup Thursday for his first appearance with the affiliate since April 26 after a prolonged absence due to knee soreness and then core-muscle surgery. The 25-year-old infielder remains on the Tigers' 40-man roster and could be in the mix for a late-season call-up if he can stay healthy at Triple-A and produce well at the plate.

Maton went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Twins.

Maton provided the offense, hitting his eighth home run of the season during garbage time in the ninth inning. The 26-year-old has mostly struggled in his first year with the Tigers, as this was his first long ball since July 14 and he's batting just .177 for the season. Maton should continue to work in rotation with the likes of Andy Ibanez, Zach McKinstry and Zack Short in the infield, with none of the options providing that much offensively.

Jung will have surgery to stabilize his fractured left thumb and is expected to miss six weeks, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The third baseman will likely go under the knife within the next few days in an effort to get him back on the field as soon as possible. Skipper Bruce Bochy stated the expectation is that Jung will play again this season, per Sonja Chen of MLB.com, though a more concrete timeline for his return should surface after the procedure takes place. Ezequiel Duran, Josh Smith and Jonathan Ornelas could all see opportunities at the hot corner during Jung's absence.

Jung was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left thumb fracture.

Jung was destined for the injured list when manager Bruce Bochy announced Sunday that the third baseman broke his thumb, and the Rangers made the move official one day later. A timeline for Jung's recovery remains undefined, but he will presumably miss several weeks. Several players could man the hot corner until Jung is ready to return, and Ezequiel Duran will get the first chance to do so Monday night.

Lewis (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A St. Paul, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Lewis has been sidelined since July 1 with the left oblique strain. He will probably get evaluated after each game, and it could be a matter of days before he's cleared to return from the 10-day injured list. With Edouard Julien, Jorge Polanco and Carlos Correa playing regularly in the infield, it's possible Lewis will return to a utility role, but the fact that the Twins don't have an everyday designated hitter could allow him to still see plenty of action.
