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.

Hayes went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to Atlanta.

Both extra-base hits came off Yonny Chirinos, including Hayes' first-inning homer that staked the Pirates to an early 3-1 lead. The third baseman had gone just 1-for-15 with six strikeouts in his prior four games after returning from lower back discomfort, but he looked 100 percent healthy Tuesday and had posted a .337/337/.518 slash line over 21 games in June with three of his six homers on the year, plus 13 RBI, before his back trouble cropped up. If he is fully recovered, Hayes might be ready to pick up where he left off.

Monasterio went 3-for-4 with a home run and a stolen base during Tuesday's loss to Colorado.

Monasterio was slashing just .174/.296/.217 during August heading into Tuesday's contest, but he was finally able to break out of his slump against the Rockies. The 26-year-old infielder has never hit more than nine home runs in a season throughout his professional career, so his seventh-inning blast off Kyle Freeland isn't something that should be expected from Monasterio going forward. However, he's demonstrated an above-average ability to get on base with a .367 OBP through 158 plate appearances.

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.

Kieboom (oblique) was reinstated from the injured list at Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

After six games with High-A Wilmington, Kieboom is ready to return to Rochester for his first action at the Triple-A level since mid-June. Kieboom has put together a .264/.366/.425 line with three homers and one steal in 26 games with Rochester this season. Now 25 years old, Kieboom's prospect shine is long gone, but if he proves healthy for a stretch at Triple-A, the team could give him one more look in the big leagues.

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.

Newman started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Monday's 5-2 win over Miami.

Newman swiped second base in the fourth inning but was stranded there. It was his eighth steal in 70 games. He plays a part-time role for the Reds but has experienced a slight uptick in opportunities with Jonathan India (foot) on the injured list. India had been expected to be activated Tuesday, but the Reds pushed his return back to Friday.

Davis went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-3 win over the Angels.

Davis has been just alright in August, going 6-for-22 (.273) over six games this month. The third baseman tied Monday's contest at 2-2 with his solo shot, which was his first homer in his last seven games. For the season, he's up to 15 long balls, 56 RBI, 46 runs scored, a stolen base and 15 doubles through 104 contests.
