Flores went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Padres.

Flores drove in the Giants' lone run on an RBI single in the first inning. The 34-year-old added another single in the sixth, marking his second multi-hit performance in four games this month. After missing six matchups due to left hamstring tightness, Flores returned to action in Saturday's loss to the Nationals. In three games since his return, he's batting .250 with two RBI across nine plate appearances.

Yelich went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.

Yelich had a perfect day at the plate and his two-run homer in the fifth was part of a 14-run offensive eruption. Yelich has posted four multi-hit efforts in 10 games in August and has homered in consecutive games. Yelich leads the Brewers with 23 home runs and 78 RBI, both of which are his best numbers since 2019.

Andujar started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Phillies.

Andujar homered in the fourth inning, his second blast over the last three games. He's started five consecutive contests and hit safely in all of them. Since being traded from the Athletics, Andujar has gone 8-for-23 (.348) with four extra-base hits, four RBI and six runs scored over nine games in a Cincinnati uniform.

Manzardo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Marlins.

Manzardo maintained his second half groove by belting the second of back-to-back home runs in the first inning. It was his 21st of the season, third in the last two games and sixth in 19 contests since the All-Star break.

Ohtani went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

Ohtani has homered in four straight games, his second streak of at least that length since the All-Star break. He's on an 11-game hitting streak to begin August as well, going 18-for-41 (.439) with 11 walks so far this month. The superstar has 43 homers this season, just two behind Seattle's Cal Raleigh (45) for the major-league lead. Ohtani has also batted .284 with a 1.020 OPS, 79 RBI, 114 runs scored and 17 stolen bases through 118 contests. He is expected to start on the mound versus his former team Wednesday.

Keith went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the White Sox.

Keith waited for the ninth inning to truly chip in Tuesday, but he made his mark with his 10th home run of the season. The 23-year-old has been good lately with a .433 batting average and two home runs across his last 10 games. Keith is seeing regular time as Detroit's leadoff hitter against righties, which gives his fantasy value a boost due to the strong lineup around him.

Stanton went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-1 win over the Twins.

The four hits established a season high for the 35-year-old veteran slugger, who matched a season high in RBI while launching his 12th homer of the year. Stanton has now played right field in four games, and his move back to the outfield should bode well for his chances of seeing more playing time down the stretch. He's slashing a potent .320/.391/.699 with each of his 12 long balls, three doubles and 31 RBI over 115 plate appearances since the start of July.

Manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that Alvarez (hand) could advance to facing live pitching this weekend, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The veteran slugger has been ramping up his hitting progression over the past couple weeks and is now on the cusp of facing live pitching for the first time since suffering a setback with his fractured right hand over a month ago. GM Dana Brown previously said the Astros were targeting mid-August for Alvarez's return, but he'll likely need at least another week or two beyond that since he's been on the shelf since early May.

O'Hearn isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

O'Hearn will receive a day off after going 0-for-7 with four walks and two RBI across his last three games. Jose Iglesias will take over as the Padres' designated hitter and bat seventh.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.

The 28-year-old launched a solo shot to left-center field off Yu Darvish in the sixth inning, tying the game at 1-1. Devers has now homered in three of his last four games, slashing .308/.438/1.000 with a 3:2 BB:K over 16 plate appearances. Over 22 outings since the All-Star break, he's slashing .262/.367/.524 with 13 RBI, 13 runs scored, six home runs, four doubles and a 13:27 BB:K across 98 plate appearances.
