Arenado went 4-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.

The Cardinals raced out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning, with Arenado's homer a major factor in that. He saw a 10-game hitting streak end in Monday's contest, but he's still hitting a sharp .365 with three homers over 12 games in August. The third baseman is slashing .289/.336/.516 with 25 long balls, 84 RBI, 57 runs scored and two stolen bases over 114 contests in a near-everyday role this season.

Freeman (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Freeman missed the last two weeks of action with a shoulder issue. Brayan Rocchio and Gabriel Arias have been seeing action at shortstop for the Guardians since the Amed Rosario trade, but Freeman could be worked into the mix.

Lewis went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's victory over Detroit.

Lewis served as Minnesota's third baseman and batted third in his return from an oblique injury that sidelined him for over six weeks. The 24-year-old got the Twins on the board in the sixth inning with an RBI single and later drew a walk. Lewis should continue to see regular playing time down the stretch between third base and designated hitter.

Triolo went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

Getting the start at second base and batting eighth, the 25-year-old rookie swiped both his bags in the sixth inning off the battery of Jose Butto and Francisco Alvarez. Triolo has been fairly productive in August, batting .296 (8-for-27) with a homer and all three of his big-league steals, and the Pirates' plan in the absence of Oneil Cruz (ankle) and Ji Hwan Bae (ankle) appears to be to rotate the young trio of Triolo, Liover Peguero and Alika Williams through the two middle-infield spots.

Davis remains out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Rays.

Davis also started Monday's series opener on the bench, but he came on as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and finished the game at first base. There wouldn't seem to be anything wrong with him physically. LaMonte Wade will cover first base Tuesday and Wilmer Flores (ear) is back in action at third.

Moustakas is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Moustakas started the previous 11 games and will receive a day off after he posted an .852 OPS with six extra-base hits and 11 RBI during that stretch. Eduardo Escobar is starting at the hot corner while C.J. Cron (back) has returned to first base.

Peterson is not in the lineup Tuesday at Colorado.

Buddy Kennedy will start at third base and bat sixth versus the Rockies and left-hander Ty Blach. Peterson, a left-handed hitter, has batted just .174 with a .409 OPS in 52 plate appearances this year against southpaws.

Chapman (finger) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Phillies.

The 30-year-old was scratched from Sunday's starting nine due to inflammation in his right middle finger, and he'll sit again Tuesday after Monday's team off day. The Blue Jays have another day off coming Thursday, so it's possible Chapman is also held out for Wednesday's series finale to provide a couple extra days of rest. Santiago Espinal is manning the hot corner and batting eighth Tuesday.

LeMahieu (calf) went 1-for-3 in a loss to Atlanta on Monday.

LeMahieu returned to action after missing a week due to a calf injury. The veteran played first base and collected a single before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the ninth inning with the game out of reach for New York. LeMahieu has had a rough season at the plate, slashing .241/.315/.372 with eight homers, 29 RBI, 35 runs and a career-worst 22.8 percent strikeout rate.

Lewis (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Lewis wound up missing more than six weeks of action with a Grade 2 left oblique strain, but he's ready to roll now after going 5-for-12 with a couple home runs in four rehab games with Triple-A St. Paul. While the 24-year-old might not have a set starting position, the fact that he can play all over the infield and the Twins also don't have a regular designated hitter bodes well for his chances of regular playing time. Lewis should be scooped back up in any leagues where he was dropped.
