Fletcher went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a victory over Oakland on Tuesday.

Fletcher plated the Angels' final run of the game by poking a ball over the left-field wall in the sixth inning. The 26-year-old has three homers on the season -- half as many as he hit in 653 plate appearances in 2019.

Story went 2-for-5 with an RBI single, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Diamondbacks.

Story knocked in Garrett Hampson with a single in the eighth inning, then scored on a Charlie Blackmon double to ignite a six-run rally. Story also had a single and his fourth stolen base of the year in the fifth inning. The shortstop has hit safely in four straight games (6-for-17) with a homer, two steals, four RBI and six runs scored in that span.

Bichette went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk during Tuesday's extra-inning victory over the Marlins.

Toronto's offense was anemic through the first five innings Tuesday, but Bichette's 365-foot shot to left field with two runners on base put the Blue Jays on the board. The 22-year-old has a .286/.314/.551 slash line with three homers, four doubles, nine RBI and two stolen bases through 11 games.

Manager Dave Roberts said Seager (back) is in a "slow progression" in his recovery, but the team won't yet place him on the injured list, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 26-year-old was scratched from Friday's contest with lower-back discomfort and hasn't seen the field since, though he was able to run, take swings and play catch Monday. The team still isn't overly concerned by the injury given the avoidance of the injured list to this point, but it sounds as though it could be at least a couple more days until Seager returns to game action.

Seager (back) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Seager sits for the fourth straight day due to back soreness, though he was able to resume baseball activities Monday, so it seems as though he has a shot to return before too much longer. Chris Taylor will be the shortstop Tuesday.

Anderson (groin) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Anderson will return from the injured list on his first day of eligibility after he was sidelined with a right groin strain. He's starting Tuesday against the Tigers and will slot in atop the batting order. Leury Garcia (thumb) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with a walk and two runs in a win over the Rangers on Monday.

Teammates Dylan Moore, Kyle Lewis and Kyle Seager handled the big hits in the Mariners' 10-run barrage, and Crawford effectively set the table, crossing the plate twice. The young shortstop now has a five-game hitting streak, although it's been completely devoid of extra-base hits thus far.

Wendle went 1-for-3 with a game-tying RBI triple in a win over the Red Sox on Monday.

Wendle's one hit of the night made an impact, as it plated Yandy Diaz in the fifth inning to knot the score up at 4-4. The triple was Wendle's second of August, and it snapped a modest 0-for-7 stretch that had encompassed the last three games in which he'd logged an official at-bat. The 30-year-old seems much more like himself in the batter's box than at any point during an injury-marred 2019, as he's now slashing an impressive .289/.357/.500 across his first 42 plate appearances and sports a minuscule, career-low 9.5 percent strikeout rate.

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

Getting the start at second base and hitting ninth, Camargo took Nick Pivetta deep for his second homer of the year as Atlanta mounted a late comeback attempt that fell well short -- they scored seven runs in the ninth, and still lost 13-8. Camargo has seen consistent playing time so far this season, mostly splitting time at third base with Austin Riley. Wherever he plays, he'll need to get going with the bat to have fantasy value in most formats -- Camargo is slashing only .182/.250/.364 with three RBI and a 3:15 BB:K through 15 games.

Correa went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Monday's 6-4 win over the Giants.

Correa has been the most consistent producer in a Houston lineup that's struggled to score runs. He's hit safely in 14 of 16 games with a slash of .345/.433/.517. Top-of-the-lineup hitters like George Springer (wrist), Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman have not reached base as consistently as usual so far his season, which has limited RBI opportunities for Correa, who had just one RBI in the previous nine games.
