Davis went 3-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 11-8 loss to the Cubs.

The 30-year-old led a four-homer barrage for the Giants, taking Hayden Wesneski deep in the sixth inning to give San Francisco a 6-4 lead, but Chicago quickly answered back and never trailed again. Davis snapped a 24-game power drought with the performance, a stretch in which he'd managed only three doubles and four RBI, but he's been showing signs of life lately -- including Tuesday's effort, he's batting .316 (12-for-28) over his last 12 contests.

Marte went 3-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's comeback win over Seattle.

Marte logged the first three-hit performance of his young career Tuesday, reaching on an infield single in the third inning, notching a hustle double in the fifth and blasting his first big-league home run in the sixth. The highly regarded rookie is now hitting .255 with five doubles, one home run, seven RBI, six runs and five steals across his first 17 games (62 plate appearances).

Manager Kevin Cash said Walls (groin) is feeling better but isn't expected to rejoin the Rays' lineup until Thursday's game against the Mariners, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls is sitting for the second straight game Tuesday due to a groin issue, and it appears he'll also be sidelined for Wednesday's series finale versus Boston. It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, so the 27-year-old should be back by the end of the week. Vidal Brujan is making a second consecutive start at shortstop Tuesday.

Peterson is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Rockies.

Emmanuel Rivera will cover third base and Evan Longoria will take a turn as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter with Colorado throwing left-hander Kyle Freeland. Peterson has batted .167 with a .407 OPS in 55 plate appearances against lefties this year.

Suarez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Suarez has started at third base or designated hitter in all 137 of Seattle's games so far this season, but he'll finally step out of the starting nine Tuesday while in the midst of a 4-for-33 slump. Jose Caballero will take over at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Muncy (shoulder) is out of the lineup Tuesday at Miami.

Muncy was lifted from Sunday's series finale against Atlanta after tweaking his left shoulder on a swing, though there doesn't seem to be much concern that it will be a long-term injury. Enrique Hernandez is playing third base for the Dodgers on Tuesday as Will Smith takes a turn in the DH role and Austin Barnes handles the catching duties.

Vientos (foot) is batting fifth as the Mets' designated hitter Tuesday against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Vientos hasn't seen game action since Saturday while dealing with a foot injury, but he'll rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Washington. The 23-year-old is 5-for-10 with two solo homers in his past three games but still has a disappointing .586 OPS in 144 plate appearances this season.

Newman (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Louisville.

On the shelf since Aug. 19 because of a left oblique strain, Newman looks poised to return to the Reds' active roster around the end of this week. The 30-year-old infielder was slashing .253/.311/.364 with three homers and eight steals through 74 games for Cincinnati prior to the injury.

Walls (groin) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Red Sox.

Walls is a little banged up with minor groin soreness, though the Rays seem confident it's merely a day-to-day situation. He had just returned over the weekend after being out more than six weeks with an oblique strain. Vidal Brujan is getting another start at shortstop while Walls recuperates.

Farmer went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Monday's 20-6 win over the Guardians.

Farmer slugged one of the Twins' three home runs against position player David Fry, who covered the final four innings of the contest to save the Guardians bullpen in a game Cleveland was already trailing by 10 runs when he took over in the top of the sixth. The 33-year-old utility player is now up to nine home runs on the season, with three coming in his last seven games.
