McMahon went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Tuesday against Pittsburgh.

McMahon tied the game with a two-out single in the eighth inning and recorded his 22nd RBI of the campaign. He's put together a solid .253/.341/.400 line across 170 plate appearances, though nearly all of his production has come in Colorado. In 64 plate appearances on the road, McMahon has collected only one extra-base hit and has a .282 wOBA.

Devers went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 16-3 win over the White Sox.

Devers keeps mashing with no sign of slowing down. He's hit safely in 37 of 42 games and is tied for the league lead with 26 extra-base hits. He ranks sixth in average (.337), fifth in slugging (.606) and seventh in OPS (.972).

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

The third baseman took Framber Valdez deep in the first inning before adding a double and an RBI groundout later in the contest. The long ball was Ramirez's 11th of the year, and he's homered in back-to-back games and four times in his last seven contests. Over that stretch, the 29-year-old has batted .296 with four home runs, 11 RBI, five runs and a stolen base. He's now batting .293 with 11 homers, 24 runs, three stolen bases and an MLB-high 43 RBI over 147 at-bats in 39 games this season.

Urshela went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's victory over the Tigers.

Urshela notched an RBI single off Beau Brieske in the bottom of the second inning, driving in Max Kepler. He later added two more singles, notching his second multi-hit contest of the month and first since May 14. The third baseman has secured at least one hit in five of his last six games, batting .438 with five RBI in those contests. If he can maintain this level of production moving forward, he could see himself reinstated closer to the top of the batting order later this season.

LeMahieu (wrist) had an MRI come back clean and received a cortisone injection Tuesday, and he is expected back in the lineup within a day or two, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The veteran infielder was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to left wrist discomfort, and the team didn't waste any time getting him treatment for the injury. LeMahieu seems unlikely to be available for Wednesday's series finale versus Baltimore, but he could return to action during the upcoming four-game set in Tampa Bay, which begins Thursday.

Wisdom went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

Despite not going deep for the first time in five contests, Wisdom still had a good night at the plate and on the bases. His stolen base in the second inning was his first of the season. Wisdom had just four steals in five attempts last year, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much more in that category. They should expect more home runs, however, as Wisdom leads the team with 10 long balls across 39 games so far.

Rivera was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Diamondbacks due to an illness, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Kyle Isbel was also scratched Tuesday due to illness symptoms, though neither player is in the COVID-19 protocols as of yet. The Royals have a scheduled day off Wednesday, and Rivera should be considered day-to-day heading into Thursday's series opener at Minnesota.

Longoria is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets after jamming his left shoulder on an attempted dive Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Longoria may be available off the bench, which indicates the injury isn't a serious concern. The 36-year-old could also be held out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale if the Giants want to express additional caution, as it would allow the veteran an extra two days to recover with a scheduled day off to follow Thursday.

Rivera (undisclosed) was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.

The reason for the late lineup change is unclear, so Rivera should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated. Kansas City has a scheduled day off Wednesday. Ryan O'Hearn has entered the lineup in Rivera's place.

Donaldson is still battling flu-like symptoms Tuesday, but he's tested negative for COVID-19, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

The fact that he's negative for COVID-19 suggests that Donaldson won't miss too much more time, but he'll be absent at least for Tuesday's game against Baltimore. He also has a one-game suspension hanging over his head when he returns, a punishment which stems from inappropriate comments he made to Tim Anderson on Saturday. However, he plans to appeal, so he'll likely be in the lineup whenever he's activated.
