Ahmed went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, two RBI, two runs scored and a strikeout in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.

Ahmed helped break the contest open, driving in a couple on his double in the fourth to put Arizona ahead by four. The 28-year-old finishes July with an impressive .302/.340/.581 slash line has already set career highs this season with 14 home runs and 53 RBI.

Turner went 4-for-6 with three runs scored, a walk and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 25-4 win over the Mets.

Turner reached on a single in his first at-bat during the first inning and subsequently swiped second and third base, and may have racked up a few more steals if the Nationals weren't so thoroughly in control so early in the game. The 25-year-old has a .270/.342/.413 slash line with 26 stolen bases in 33 attempts for the season, and has multi-hit efforts in four of the last five games.

Anderson was pulled from Tuesday's game by manager Rick Renteria for not running on a low line drive in the sixth inning, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Assumptions can be dangerous; Anderson assumed his line drive would end in an inning-ending catch, but the umpire ruled it no catch and Anderson was out at first base after declining to leave the batter's box. Renteria was visibly angry but it's hard to imagine this resulting in a long-term benching. Anderson was caught stealing prior to his removal and has now gone 17 games without a stolen base.

Bogaerts was diagnosed with a right hand bruise after undergoing X-rays following Tuesday's loss to the Phillies, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Bogaerts was hit by a pitch on the right hand late in the game, but did not exit. The diagnosis is obviously good news, but the 25-year-old remains wary due to a similar issue that plagued him in 2017. Bogaerts will continue to be evaluated on the Red Sox's off day Wednesday.

Baez went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Pirates.

Baez now has three home runs over his last four games. The 25-year-old is batting .343 this month with six home runs and 23 RBI. For the season, Baez now has a .300 average, .904 OPS, 22 home runs and 19 steals, making him one of the most dynamic players in fantasy baseball.

Correa (back) is set to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi as soon as Thursday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports.

Correa took live batting practice Monday for the first time since landing on the disabled list in late June, and is apparently ready to return to game action. The expected length of the rehab assignment is currently unclear, but if all goes well the 23-year-old could seemingly return early next week.

D'Arnaud started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Monday's 5-3 win over the Padres.

D'Arnaud connected for his third homer in 13 games since being called up July 8, and he has provided a healthy .282/.310/.538 slash line over that span. Despite his recent success, the 31-year-old figures to remain in a backup utility role now that Evan Longoria and Joe Panik have returned from their respective DL stints.

Fletcher is lined up to start at second base following Ian Kinsler's trade to the Red Sox on Monday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Fletcher had already gained an everyday role at third base, but Monday's trade will allow the infielder to serve as the Halos' everyday second baseman. The 24-year-old has yet to develop the power he showed in the minors this year (.559 slugging percentage with Triple-A Salt Lake) in the majors, but he has been able to maintain a .298 batting average over 37 games. Fletcher has already logged 33 games at third base, and he should add second-base eligibility before long so long as he stays healthy.

Correa (back) managed to participate in live batting practice Monday for the first time since being placed on the disabled list, Chandler Rome of The Houston Chronicle reports.

Correa has been on the shelf with a back issue since June 28 although he continues to make significant progress. He said he felt great following his latest hitting session, so expect the 23-year-old shortstop to embark on a rehab assignment by the end of the week.

Vincej had his contract selected from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

Vincej will provide a little extra depth all around the diamond as a utility man, especially with Kyle Seager being placed on the paternity list. During 84 games with Tacoma this year, Vincej has slashed .236/.301/.341 with six home runs, 44 RBI and six stolen bases.
