Corbin (5-12) earned the win Tuesday over the Marlins, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out eight.

It's the third straight win for Corbin, who's allowed just three runs over 17.2 innings while racking up 22 strikeouts in that span -- the left-hander had struggled to an 8.51 ERA in his previous five outings. Overall, Corbin's lowered his ERA to 5.41 on the year with a 1.52 WHIP and 121:51 K:BB across 153 innings. He'll look to keep the momentum going in his next start, currently scheduled for this weekend in Pittsburgh.

Ruiz went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Miami.

After going 0-for-19 in his previous five games, Ruiz snapped his cold spell with a huge game Tuesday, picking up three hits including a sixth-inning homer off Max Meyer, his 13th of the year. Ruiz boosted his slash line to .222/.253/.363 with 47 RBI and 42 runs scored across 403 plate appearances this season.

Miller allowed three runs on two hits and a walk across an inning of relief in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Pirates.

Chicago already trailed 2-0 when Miller came on in the seventh inning, so the righty didn't take the loss, though he didn't help his team's cause, either. Miller allowed a three-run bomb to Jared Triolo, who has just a .599 OPS this season, to cap off the rough outing. This is the second time in his last three appearances that Miller has allowed three runs, but he still has a strong 2.61 ERA overall, so it's probably not time to hit the panic button quite yet.

Merrifield was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rockies after getting hit in the head by a pitch, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Merrifield took a 94-mph fastball off the back of his helmet during the seventh inning of Tuesday's contest. The fact he was able to walk off the field under his own power is a good sign, but Atlanta's medical staff will likely evaluate him for a potential concussion. Luke Williams entered as Merrifield's replacement and could be in line for a start at second base if the 35-year-old needs to miss some time.

Bart (hamstring) ran on the basepaths before Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Bart has been on the injured list since Aug. 26 due to a strained left hamstring, and Tuesday appears to be the first time he's done any sort of running since then. He's expected to rejoin the active roster before the end of the season, though it's still unclear how close he is to a return.

McCarthy is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Southpaw Kyle Harrison is pitching Tuesday for San Francisco, and McCarthy will receive a well-deserved day off after a run of 24 consecutive starts, during which he posted an .862 OPS with five homers, four steals, 26 RBI and 16 runs. Jorge Barrosa is manning center field and batting ninth in the series opener.

Sanchez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Nationals due to mild back spasms, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Sanchez lined a single into center field in the second inning but had to be removed after tweaking his back while stealing second base. His injury is being described as mild, however, so there's still a chance he returns to the Marlins' lineup Wednesday.

Manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday that Bohm (hand) likely won't play during the Phillies' current series against the Blue Jays, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

The Phillies' skipper added that he doesn't expect Bohm to require a trip to the injured list, and he should be able to return to the lineup sometime during the team's upcoming series in Miami. The 28-year-old hasn't played since leaving Thursday's game against Atlanta due to inflammation in his left hand.

Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

The Dodgers will be facing left-hander Reid Detmers on Tuesday, so the left-handed bat of Lux will begin the game on the bench while Chris Taylor covers second base.

Yepez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

It's the second time on the bench in Washington's past three games for Yepez, who has gone 7-for-23 with two homers over his past seven contests. Andres Chaparro will shift to designated hitter while Joey Gallo starts at first base against Miami righty Max Meyer.
