Jimenez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Reds.

After missing Toronto's previous two games with a knee injury, Jimenez returned Tuesday with a two-hit performance, including a two-run homer off Carson Spiers in the fifth inning. All three of Jimenez's homers this season have come in his last six games -- he's gone 5-for-18 with six RBI in that span. Overall, the 23-year-old shortstop is slashing .232/.310/.404 with 12 runs scored and nine RBI across 113 plate appearances this year while filling in for Bo Bichette (calf).

Hamilton went 0-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Astros.

Hamilton led off the fourth inning with a walk, stole second base and scored on a single. The theft was his team-leading 32nd, placing him one ahead of Jarren Duran, who has jockeyed with Hamilton in that category the last two months. Following a cold spell coming out of the All-Star break, Hamilton has put up strong August numbers, posting a line of .302/.375/.535 over 14 contests.

Correa (heel) ran Tuesday and has been hitting and fielding, but there's still no timetable for his return, Phil Miller of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports. "He's still having some discomfort. As cliche as it sounds, it's truly day-to-day on how he's going to feel and what we can do with him," said Twins head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta.

Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list July 20 due to right plantar fasciitis. It initially didn't appear he would be out long, but he still has soreness after running. He may not return until sometime in September as a result.

Rocchio went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-5 extra-innings win over the Yankees.

This was the first time in Rocchio's major-league career he homered and swiped a bag in the same game. Despite the fantastic effort, the steal was his first since May, and he entered Tuesday having gone just 4-for-24 over his previous 10 games. On the season, the 23-year-old is hitting .210 with six home runs, 27 RBI, 40 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 344 plate appearances.

Witt went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-5 loss to the Angels.

Witt's on another heater at the plate, having gone 15-for-35 (.429) during a nine-game hitting streak. In that span, he's added eight extra-base hits, eight RBI and 11 runs scored, though he hasn't stolen a base since Aug. 2. The superstar shortstop is up to a .352/.401/.618 slash line with 25 home runs, 25 steals, 92 RBI, 110 runs scored, 37 doubles and 11 triples over 126 contests this season.

Neto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Royals.

Neto's impressive August continued with his sixth homer in 17 contests this month. He's also batting .299 (20-for-67) with 16 RBI and 11 runs scored in that span. The shortstop is up to a .262/.327/.466 slash line with 19 homers, 63 RBI, 57 runs scored, 22 stolen bases and 27 doubles across 122 games this season. While the Angels' lineup isn't anything special, Neto should continue to provide well-rounded production out of the No. 2 spot in the order as he has since Luis Rengifo (wrist) exited the lineup Aug. 3.

Caballero is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Caballero has a .209/.265/.372 slash line through 15 games in August and will sit for Tuesday's contest. Taylor Walls will receive the start at shortstop versus Oakland righty Joey Estes.

Schuemann isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Schuemann will get a chance to regroup Tuesday after going just 1-for-21 with seven walks over his last eight games. His absence will move Darell Hernaiz to shortstop and allow Abraham Toro to pick up a start at third base while batting seventh.

Sweeney isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Sweeney will get a chance to regroup after going 1-for-7 with four strikeouts across his first two career big-league games. Javier Baez will get the starting nod at shortstop instead and bat ninth.

Jimenez is batting eighth and playing shortstop Tuesday against the Reds.

Jimenez missed back-to-back games with a knee injury, but he'll be back in action Tuesday night. In August, Jimenez is slashing .216/.318/.514 with two homers and five doubles across 13 games.
