Seager went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Nationals.

Seager singled in his first plate appearance before doubling in the third inning and eventually coming around to score when Justin Foscue drew a bases-loaded walk. The multi-hit performance continued a strong stretch for Seager since his return from the injured list, as he's batting .302 with a pair of home runs across 15 games since being activated.

Montgomery went 3-for-4 with a double and one run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.

Montgomery has logged a trio of multi-hit efforts over 15 games in August. He's batting just .217 this month, right on the nose with his mark for the year. Montgomery also has just four extra-base hits and eight RBI, as well as a 4:26 BB:K in August. He's showed plenty of power (26 homers, 20 doubles), but a 32.9 percent strikeout rate has been a limiting factor in his overall profile.

Witt went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.

Witt came through in the clutch, dropping a bloop single into left field with two outs in the ninth inning to bring home the winning run and give the Royals a walk-off victory. Since returning from an injured list stint due to tightness in his lower back, the star shortstop is slashing .340/.435/.528 with two homers, eight RBI, 16 runs and three stolen bases across 14 games. In total, Witt is hitting .287/.361/.460 with 15 homers, 47 RBI, 67 runs and 33 stolen bases over 108 contests.

Wilson (shoulder) is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Royals on Tuesday.

Wilson was scrapped from Monday's lineup due to shoulder soreness, and the 24-year-old shortstop will be out of the A's starting nine for a second consecutive day. Darell Hernaiz will get the nod at shortstop Tuesday and bat ninth.

Adames (back) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.

Adames has not played since injuring his back last Wednesday. The veteran shortstop has been cleared for full baseball activities, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, but will miss a fourth consecutive start Tuesday. Christian Koss will again fill in at shortstop for Adames.

Lopez went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI in Monday's loss to the Phillies.

The shortstop remains mired in a 33-game homer drought, and Lopez's overall production is beginning to sag as well. Through 67 plate appearances in August, he's managed a .222/.254/.254 slash line with two doubles, two steals, four RBI and nine runs in 15 contests.

De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in a 6-5 extra-inning win in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against St. Louis. He went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in the matinee.

De La Cruz completed the Reds comeback in the nightcap with a walk-off, run-producing double in the bottom of the 10th inning. It was the first walk-off of the two-time All-Star's career. De La Cruz entered the second game on a 0-for-14 run before singling in the first inning.

McGonigle went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-5 win over the Pirates.

McGonigle snapped a mini 0-for-7 slump over his last two games with a solid performance that included his 13th home run of the season. Three of those long balls have come in 14 contests this month, and the youngster has been showing more power overall as the year has gone along, as he had just three homers through the end of May. McGonigle has had a great debut campaign so far and seems well on his way to winning the AL Rookie of the Year award.

Witt went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, a walk, a stolen base and three additional runs scored in Monday's 9-5 win over the Athletics.

The Athletics couldn't contain Witt, who crossed the plate a season-high four times Monday. Even with the Royals playing out the final stretch of a losing season, the superstar shortstop is looking to close out the campaign on a high note. Since coming off the injured list, Witt is batting .340 with two homers, four doubles, seven RBI and three stolen bases over his last 50 at-bats.

Wilson was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Royals due to shoulder soreness.

Wilson was cleared to return Sunday from a one-game absence due to swelling in his left pinkie finger. The 24-year-old is now working through a shoulder issue, prompting the Athletics to replace Wilson with Alika Williams at shortstop while moving Henry Bolte to the second spot in the lineup.
