Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Ortiz will return to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Milwaukee held the right-handed-hitting Ortiz out of the lineup in both of the past two games while the Brewers opposed right-handed starters Edward Cabrera and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, allowing Andruw Monasterio to pick up a pair of starts at shortstop. The consecutive benchings came after Ortiz had fallen into a 4-for-29 slump at the dish over his previous nine starts, which prompted Murphy to criticize the 26-year-old's plate approach when he spoke to McCalvy prior to Monday's game. The skipper didn't suggest that Ortiz was at any major risk of losing out on an everyday role, and the infielder should benefit from a matchup with a lefty (Clayton Kershaw) in his return to the lineup Tuesday.

Edwards went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Monday's win over the Reds.

The switch hitter is locking in as the All-Star break approaches. Edwards has three multi-hit performances in the last five games, and over the last month he's slashing .306/.375/.361 in 26 contests with four steals in six attempts, seven RBI and 16 runs. While he isn't running as much, or as efficiently, as he did in 2024 -- he's gone 15-for-21 on the basepaths through 73 contests this season after a 31-for-35 showing in only 70 games last year -- he remains a useful three-category fantasy asset, and a strong leadoff option for Miami.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in a loss to the Angels on Monday.

Seager gave the Rangers an early lead with a two-run blast to center field in the first inning, and he reached twice more in the contest. The veteran shortstop has reached base in 12 consecutive contests and is batting .311 (14-for-45) with five homers, three doubles, 11 RBI, 13 runs and a stolen base over that span. Seager is at 12 homers on the campaign, so he'll need to pick up the pace in order to reach 30 long balls for a fourth straight season.

Witt went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a sacrifice fly and an additional run scored during Monday's 9-3 win over the Pirates.

Witt has recorded at least one hit in 11 consecutive games, a stretch in which he's 19-for-46 (.416) with three homers and three stolen bases. The superstar shortstop has notched multiple hits in five of those contests and has now gone yard in back-to-back outings. In 399 plate appearances this season, Witt is slashing .296/.346/.503 with 13 home runs.

Ortiz is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Dodgers.

Ortiz is getting a second straight day off as he battles through a 4-for-29 slump at the dish, with Brewers manager Pat Murphy saying he wants Ortiz to clean up his swing decisions, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Andruw Monasterio will fill in at shortstop again for Milwaukee.

Lopez is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Reds.

Lopez will exit the starting nine for the first time since May 27 while he's gone just 3-for-22 at the dish so far in July. Javier Sanoja will start at shortstop and bat ninth as the Marlins open a series in Cincinnati.

Caballero (arm) will start at second base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Caballero was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Twins due to right arm soreness, but he was pressed into action in the bottom of the third inning after second baseman Brandon Lowe (side) exited the contest. He went 1-for-2 with a double and two runs while playing the final seven innings in the field, and Caballero apparently experienced no setbacks with his arm coming out of that contest. With Lowe and Ha-Seong Kim (calf) not ready to return to the lineup for Monday's series opener, Caballero will draw a start in the middle infield alongside shortstop Taylor Walls.

Kim (calf) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest in Detroit, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Kim will miss out on a third straight start after he made an early exit in his season and Rays debut in Friday's loss to the Twins due to a right calf strain. According to Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun, Kim said Monday that despite his continued absence from the lineup, his calf feels "closer to normal," and he doesn't expect to go back on the injured list. Taylor Walls will pick up the start at shortstop in Kim's stead in the series opener.

Walls went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Twins.

Walls' playing time has fluctuated this season, and he's likely to primarily become a fielding replacement once Ha-Seong Kim (calf) is able to return to the lineup. However, Walls took advantage of his start Sunday, popping his third home run of the season to lead off the third inning. Despite the positive performance, he's gone just 3-for-22 across his last seven starts.

Story went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over Washington.

Story piled on in the first inning, finishing off Boston's four-run frame with a two-run homer, his 14th of the season. He had himself a nice weekend in the nation's capital, going 6-for-15 with two home runs and six RBI. Story has hit safely in eight straight contests, going 15-for-32 (.469) with three home runs, four doubles, 12 RBI, three steals and nine runs scored.
