  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Collects 10th home run

    Camargo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Marlins.

    Camargo continued his post-All-Star break hot streak and is now 8-for-18 with a home run, a double and four RBI over the last five games. The 24-year-old has a .261/.357/.441 slash line with 10 home runs in 245 at-bats this season.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Hits off tee

    Correa (back) hit off a tee Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    He had begun running and playing catch, and did some more of both Tuesday, but this marks the first time he has swung a bat recently. A report from Monday stated that Correa was at least two weeks away from coming off the disabled list. This means he could return around mid-August.

  • Royals' Adalberto Mondesi: Sitting despite rejoining team Tuesday

    Mondesi is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Tigers, Maria Torres of The Kansas City Star reports.

    He was reinstated from the family medical emergency list earlier in the day after missing four games, but the Royals may be looking to ease him back into action. Alcides Escobar is starting at shortstop and hitting ninth.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Benched as expected Tuesday

    Turner is benched for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

    As expected, Turner will be forced to sit out after refusing to run to first base following a failed bunt attempt Monday. There haven't been any suggestions that Turner will be held out for more than one game, so expect him back in the lineup Wednesday.

  • Aledmys Diaz 1B | HOU

    Blue Jays' Aledmys Diaz: Settling into backup role?

    Diaz is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Twins, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    It certainly seems that Lourdes Gurriel, who was activated from the disabled list Sunday and has started the last three games, has passed Diaz on the organizational depth chart at shortstop. Diaz is hitting .289/.304/.489 with two home runs in 15 games (45 at-bats) this month, so the Jays should still find some playing time for him, but don't expect him to play every day going forward.

  • Royals' Adalberto Mondesi: Reinstated Tuesday

    Mondesi was reinstated from the family medical emergency list prior to Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

    This was an anticipated move for Mondesi, who was away from the team for four games to deal with some family issues. He is hitting .297/.316/.514 with two home runs and two steals (on four attempts) in 10 games (37 at-bats) in July. Look for him to be in the lineup most days over the rest of the season, as he is one of the few building blocks on the big-league roster.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: First hit since return

    Adames went 1-for-4 with a run in a win over the Yankees on Monday.

    Adames was recalled from Triple-A Durham prior to Sunday's series finale against the Marlins, going 0-for-3 with a walk in that contest. The 22-year-old is currently filling in at his customary shortstop spot with Adeiny Hechavarria nursing an oblique injury, but he also slotted in at second base for multiple games in his first stint with the Rays this season when manager Kevin Cash opted to get both him and Hechavarria in the lineup.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Heads to bench

    Rojas (back) is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Braves, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

    Rojas will head to the bench after suffering from back spasms during Monday's game, ending a streak of three straight starts for the infielder. The Marlins seem to be viewing Rojas as day-to-day, but it's unclear if he'll be available off the bench Tuesday.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: To be held out Tuesday

    Turner will likely be benched for Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

    Turner attempted to bunt for a base hit during Monday's tilt, and after a poorly executed attempt, he refused to run to first base as he started launching his equipment onto the field prior to being ruled out. After the game, manager Dave Martinez stated, "There's a good chance he won't play tomorrow." Expect Wilmer Difo to get the nod at shortstop with Turner likely to ride the pine Tuesday due to a lack of hustle.

  • Royals' Rosell Herrera: Records three hits

    Herrera went 3-for-5 with a double and run scored Monday against the Tigers.

    Herrera recorded his third three-hit game of the season and first extra-base hit since July 3. He has struggled to hit for any type of power -- he has no home runs and just a .343 slugging percentage through 102 at-bats -- but has recorded at least one hit in eight of his last 10 appearances. He appears poised to hang onto the everyday role in center field, though the addition of Brian Goodwin does add more competition to remain in the lineup.
