Bregman went 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI on Tuesday against the Mets.

Bregman was part of a four-run rally for the Astros in the first inning, delivering an RBI single and coming around to score on a three-run home run by Kyle Tucker. Bregman is hitting .412 with three homers, eight RBI and nine runs scored across his last 10 starts. He is still hitting only .242 on the season, though his .772 OPS is in line with his performance in recent campaigns.

Kennedy went 1-for-3 with a double, three RBI and a hit-by-pitch in Tuesday's 7-6 win over San Diego.

Kennedy drove in two runs during Arizona's four-run seventh inning and knocked in another when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the eighth. He was an integral component to the Diamondbacks erasing a six-run deficit with seven runs over the final three innings. Kennedy continues to get starts at second base while Ketel Marte works his way back from a hamstring injury that's limited him to designated-hitter duty.

Machado (ankle) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

It was reported earlier in the day that Machado was expected to be in the lineup or available off the bench, but he won't end up being in the starting nine. The 29-year-old hasn't seen the field since June 19, when he sustained the left ankle sprain, and he's out of the lineup Tuesday for the eighth straight contest. Machado could still make an appearance off the bench and should continue to be considered day-to-day.

Peterson will start in right field and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Kolten Wong's (calf) return from the injured list Tuesday puts the Brewers back to full strength in the infield, but Peterson's ability to handle either corner-outfield spot could allow him to hold down a strong-side platoon role while Hunter Renfroe (hamstring) remains on the IL. The lefty-hitting Peterson will stick in the lineup with right-hander Shane Baz on the mound for Tampa Bay, while the righty-hitting Jonathan Davis -- who started in each of the past four games -- finds himself on the bench with Wong back in action.

Burger is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Angels.

He was also out of the lineup Monday, so that makes it two days in a row that Burger has sat against a right-handed pitcher. The lefty-hitting Gavin Sheets drew the start both days, so while Burger has been productive this season, he may be on the short side of a platoon for now.

McMahon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

The 27-year-old started the past nine games and will head to the bench Tuesday amid a 1-for-14 slump. Elehuris Montero will start at the hot corner and bat ninth in McMahon's place.

Madrigal (groin) hit in live batting practice Tuesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

He suffered a left groin strain on June 10, and will have several other checkpoints to clear before being activated. Madrigal will have to advance to fielding and running drills and may require a rehab assignment.

Moustakas will sit Tuesday against the Cubs.

Moustakas finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row, both of which have come against righties. His .221/.321/.325 line on the season hardly suggests he deserves a regular role. Donovan Solano will be the designated hitter on this occasion.

Anderson is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Cardinals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

He is being eased back into action after being on the injured list with a back injury. Anderson was activated Monday and went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts. The Marlins have a fairly crowded roster at the moment, and things will only get more complicated when Joey Wendle (hamstring) gets activated in the coming days, as Jon Berti has probably played too well to move back to a minimal role.

The White Sox reinstated Moncada (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Infield prospect Lenyn Sosa was sent back to Triple-A Charlotte to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Moncada, who was sidelined for the minimum amount of time with a right hamstring strain. Moncada should recapture his everyday role at third base, but the 27-year-old has thus far been a major disappointment for those that invested in him in fantasy drafts. In addition to being limited to just 29 games thus far due to injuries, Moncada is hitting .179 with three home runs, no stolen bases, 12 RBI and eight runs across 113 plate appearances.
