  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Raps out three hits in loss

    Adames went 3-for-4 with two runs in a loss to the Mariners on Tuesday.

    Adames' bat sprung back to life Tuesday, snapping him out of a four-game, 1-for-15 skid. The young shortstop is still hitting an impressive .305 during August after generating just a .193 figure in July, although he's laced just a modest four extra-base hits during the current month.

  • Joey Wendle 2B | ATL

    Rays' Joey Wendle: Hitless in Durham debut

    Wendle (wrist) went 0-for-4 while playing all nine innings at third base in Triple-A Durham's loss to Charlotte on Tuesday.

    Wendle was making his rehab debut with the Bulls after logging time with both the Rays' Gulf Coast League team and High-A Charlotte during his rehab assignment. The utility man may only need another couple of minor-league games before being deemed ready for activation.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Hot August continues

    Ahmed went 1-for-2 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-7 win over Colorado.

    Ahmed's perfectly mediocre season has exploded this month. He's slashing .351/.415/.807 with seven homers, 18 RBI and 14 runs scored over 17 games in August. Tuesday's round-tripper was his 17th of the season and established a new benchmark for the shortstop.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Swats homer in loss

    Anderson went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI in a loss to the Twins on Tuesday.

    Anderson knocked in the first run of the game with a double in the third inning and launched a solo homer to left field in the sixth. The multi-hit outing was Anderson's sixth in his last seven games and 11th overall in a scorching August in which he has produced a .407 average while scoring 18 runs.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Rockies' Trevor Story: Four-hit day in loss

    Story went 4-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in the Rockies' 8-7 loss to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

    The shortstop had one hit in his last eight at-bats coming in, but he got back on track in short order, racking up four more hits and driving in three of Colorado's seven runs on the day. Story is having another fantastic campaign at the dish, as this effort brings his slash line up to .296/.362/.573 to go along with 28 homers, 17 stolen bases and 74 RBI across 510 plate appearances.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Moving to injured list

    Correa (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list following Tuesday's win over the Tigers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Manager AJ Hinch said prior to the game Correa was likely IL-bound, so the post-game announcement isn't much of a surprise. The 24-year-old was pulled from Monday's contest after his back stiffened up, and Hinch indicated the recovery will likely require the full 10 days. Correa will be eligible to be activated Aug. 30 in Toronto.

  • Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Twists ankle Tuesday

    Bogaerts twisted his ankle running the bases Tuesday against the Phillies but said "hopefully it's fine tomorrow," Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

    Bogaerts had the ankle wrapped up after the game but doesn't seem to think it's a serious issue. The Red Sox have a scheduled off day Thursday, so if there's any concern, they could give the 26-year-old Wednesday off to provide ample recovery time.

  • Richard Urena SS | WAS

    Blue Jays' Richard Urena: Returns to big leagues

    Urena was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Urena earned a spot on the Opening Day roster but has been at Triple-A since late May. The 23-year-old provides some added infield depth with the Blue Jays starting a three-game set on the road versus the Dodgers.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Likely headed to IL

    Correa (back) is expected to require a trip to the 10-day injured list, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Correa wasn't available to the media prior to Tuesday's matchup, but skipper AJ Hinch finally shed some light on Correa's status, stating that it's likely his star shortstop will need a stint on the IL. He could return near the end of August if he's able to come back after the 10-day minimum.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Crawford is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Cubs.

    He was swinging a hot bat around the All-Star break, but has predictably cooled off, hitting .173 with zero home runs in 52 August at-bats. Abiatal Avelino will start at shortstop and hit eighth.
