Adames went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Astros.

This was Adames' first multi-hit effort since July 12 versus the Rockies. He went 15-for-82 (.183) over the previous 23 games, though he supplied four home runs and 11 RBI in that span. The shortstop is now hitting .223 with a .696 OPS, 19 homers, five steals, 48 RBI, 58 runs scored, 25 doubles and one triple across 115 contests this season.

Walls went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-4 win over the Athletics.

Walls delivered a rare display of power by homering from both sides of the plate Tuesday. He ended a 105-game regular-season homer drought dating back to July 27 of last year by going deep left-handed off Mason Barnett in the fourth inning before launching another homer as a right-handed hitter off Brady Basso in the sixth. The two long balls were his first of the season and were particularly surprising considering Walls has just 24 homers across 581 career games. He entered Tuesday batting just .135 over his previous 14 contests. Walls owns a .216 average with a .605 OPS and 18 stolen bases across 97 games this season.

Henderson went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

Henderson set the tone from the top of the order, highlighted by a two-run blast in the second inning. It was the 25-year-old's first multi-hit effort since July 20, and he entered the contest just 2-for-25 through nine August contests. On the season, he's slashing .216/.296/.392 with 19 homers, 49 RBI, 70 runs scored and nine steals across 540 plate appearances.

Pratt (hamstring) is expected to return from the injured list sometime in late August, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Pratt is making good progress in his recovery from a strained right hamstring, but he's still likely multiple weeks out from returning to the starting lineup. With Joey Ortiz (back) also dealing with an injury, David Hamilton and Ji Hwan Bae have seen an increase in playing time recently.

Ortiz (back) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against San Diego.

Ortiz will miss his third consecutive start as he continues to battle an upper-back injury. Brice Turang will slide over to shortstop and lead off, while David Hamilton mans third base and bats eighth for Milwaukee.

The Pirates placed Johnson on the minor-league 7-day injured list Tuesday due to a left knee injury, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Johnson left Saturday's game for Triple-A Indianapolis after four innings due to the knee issue. He appeared to have suffered the injury while he stumbled over the first-base bag while trying to leg out an infield single. The 22-year-old had to be carted off the field with an air cast, but exact details of the injury have not been revealed.

Perdomo (knee) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Perdomo was removed from Monday's game against Colorado with left knee soreness and needs another day to recover. With Perdomo on the bench, Ildemaro Vargas is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday.

Lux (shoulder) is unlikely to return this season, per MLB.com.

Lux's most recent setback saw him get shut down in mid-July after receiving an injection in his right shoulder. His initial rehab assignment in April was halted by a sprained left ankle, and the infielder was later pulled off another minor-league stint with left shoulder inflammation. The Rays haven't officially ruled out Lux for the remainder of the year, but his status for the rest of 2026 is in major doubt.

Perdomo left Monday's game against Colorado due to left knee soreness.

This appears to be a minor issue for Perdomo, who went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run before exiting. He'll presumably be re-evaluated Tuesday morning and can be considered day-to-day. Manager Torey Lovullo stated after the game that Perdomo is fine, but he could get the next day or two off as a precaution, per Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic. Ildemaro Vargas would be in line for more looks at shortstop if Perdomo misses additional time.

Perdomo was removed during the fifth inning of Monday's game against the Rockies for an undisclosed reason, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

It's not yet clear if Perdomo left with an injury, though it would be a bit odd to pull him at this stage in the game to get him off his feet, even with a 7-0 lead. The team could provide more information about the shortstop's removal after the game.
