Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Knocks in three, swipes bag
Ramirez went 2-for-4 with three RBI, a run scored, a stolen base and a walk in a 4-3 extra-inning win over the Rockies on Tuesday. He was also caught stealing.
Ramirez continued his strong 2022 campaign with a three-RBI performance, which included a game-winning RBI double in the 10th inning. He leads all of the majors with an eye-popping 62 RBI with still over a month to go before the All-Star break. He also stole his 10th base of the year in 13 attempts to give him double-digit steals and home runs.

Matt Chapman 3B | SF
Blue Jays' Matt Chapman: Belts eighth homer
Chapman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.
Making his return from a three-game absence due to a sore wrist, Chapman appeared to be fully healthy when he deposited a Jordan Lyles slider into the left-field seats in the fourth inning for his eighth homer of the year. The third baseman has had an unproductive start to his Blue Jays tenure, but advanced metrics -- including a 92nd percentile AEV and 93rd percentile hard hit rate -- suggest he has been mostly unlucky, while his .324/.410/.559 slash line through nine games in June is a strong sign that luck is beginning to turn.

Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW
Reds' Mike Moustakas: Posts steal in win
Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.
Moustakas has gone 3-for-8 in two games since returning from the COVID-19-related injured list. He was lifted for pinch runner Matt Reynolds in the 10th inning Tuesday, though that appears to be a tactical decision. Through 42 contests, Moustakas is slashing .210/.317/.319 with three home runs, 12 RBI, 17 runs scored, two stolen bases and six doubles. He should continue to play regularly at third base or as the designated hitter.

Kyle Farmer 3B | ATL
Reds' Kyle Farmer: Three hits, two RBI
Farmer went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.
Farmer delivered a two-run single, his third hit of the game, in the 11th inning. Over his last four contests, he's gone 9-for-16 with four RBI, though he has just one extra-base hit in that span. The strong hitting has him up to a .283/.343/.435 slash line with five home runs, 37 RBI, 23 runs scored, four stolen bases and 14 doubles through 54 games overall.

Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN
Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Opens scoring with homer
Suarez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Twins.
Suarez went 0-for-8 in his last two games, the first time since May 24-27 he'd been held without hits in consecutive contests. His homer Tuesday opened the scoring in the fourth inning. The third baseman is up to 12 long balls this season, and he's added a .231/.324/.453 slash line, 34 RBI, 32 runs scored, 12 doubles and a triple through 259 plate appearances as the Mariners' top option at the hot corner.

Evan Longoria 3B | ARI
Giants' Evan Longoria: Hitless in return
Longoria (hamstring) went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Royals.
Longoria started at designated hitter, but he gave way to pinch hitter Tommy La Stella in the sixth inning. This was Longoria's first start since Friday as he battled a hamstring injury, and he may be eased back into action to avoid aggravating the issue. The third baseman is slashing .225/.287/.463 with five home runs, 12 RBI and nine runs scored through 87 plate appearances.

Rafael Devers 1B | SF
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Homers in third straight game
Devers went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 6-1 win over Oakland.
The 25-year-old delivered a massive 439-foot, three-run shot to right center during the fourth inning to put the Red Sox up 6-0, extending his homer streak to three games. Devers' 15 home runs for the season is tied for sixth in the American League, and he also has a .332/.369/.609 slash line, 23 doubles and 38 RBI.

Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA
Angels' Anthony Rendon: Aggravates wrist injury
Rendon was removed from Tuesday's game against the Dodgers after aggravating his right wrist injury.
Rendon spent two weeks on the injured list with right wrist inflammation before being reinstated to the active roster Friday, but he aggravated the issue Tuesday during his fourth game back. The severity of the injury this time around is unclear, and it remains to be seen if the 32-year-old will require a return trip to the injured list.

Evan Longoria 3B | ARI
Giants' Evan Longoria: Rejoins lineup Tuesday
Longoria (hamstring) is batting fifth as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Royals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Longoria has been held out since Friday due to tightness in his left hamstring, but he'll rejoin the lineup Tuesday. The 36-year-old still made two appearances off the bench, so the injury never appeared to be a serious concern.

Jake Burger 1B | TEX
White Sox's Jake Burger: Won't return before Friday
Burger (hand) will return Friday against the Astros at the earliest, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Burger was hit in the hand by a pitch Monday against the Tigers and wound up leaving the game. He's out of the lineup Tuesday and will remain out Wednesday as well, as the White Sox want to take advantage of Thursday's scheduled off day to give him a full three days off to rest his hand.
