Ramos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

Ramos got the Giants on the scoreboard in the fourth inning, cracking a solo shot to right-center field. He's recorded at least one hit in 16 of his 18 appearances since returning from a right quadriceps strain, batting .297 with 14 runs scored, 10 RBI and five home runs in 76 plate appearances during that span. Overall, the 26-year-old is slashing .276/.310/.469 with 33 runs scored, 30 RBI and nine long balls across 252 plate appearances.

George (knee) is slashing .333/.455/.407 with a 6:8 BB:K and four stolen bases in seven games since being reinstated from Double-A Tulsa's 7-day injured list July 4.

After sustaining an injury to his left patellar tendon May 25 while jumping out of the way to avoid Tulsa's bat-retrieving dog, George had been expected to be out through the All-Star break. The 21-year-old outfielder ended up recovering quicker than expected, however, as he was given the green light to rejoin Tulsa earlier this month after completing a five-game rehab assignment at Single-A Ontario. George has remained active on the basepaths since returning to action and has now gone 33-for-38 on stolen-base attempts for the season over his 55 games between Tulsa and Ontario.

Devenski (illness) was sent to the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

Devenski has been sidelined since early May due to an undisclosed illness, but he's finally been cleared to participate in games. Given the length of his absence, the veteran reliever will likely require a handful of rehab outings before rejoining the Pirates' active roster.

Williamson (shoulder) is scheduled to face hitters Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Williamson, who injured his finger while rehabbing the shoulder in late June, has been throwing bullpen sessions at the team's training facility in Goodyear, Arizona. Wednesday's scheduled live batting practice session represents the next step in the left-hander's progression.

Dunn (elbow) could soon begin a rehab assignment serving exclusively as a designated hitter while he continues to go through a throwing progression, MLB.com reports.

Dunn has been playing catch and hit on the field with the team in Seattle. Ideally, he would play the field upon his activation off the injured list, but there's a scenario where the outfielder could serve as a regular at DH. As the Reds sprial into being sellers at the trade deadline, the swapping of two trade candidates -- Eugenio Suarez and Nathaniel Lowe -- could clear a path at DH.

Barrosa started in right field and went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Athletics.

Barrosa doubled and scored on Ketel Marte's fifth-inning home run. The former got the start in place of Corbin Carroll, who was held out of the lineup a day after suffering a hyperextended elbow. Barrosa's opportunity may be a short-lived, as Carroll's injury is not considered serious.

The Diamondbacks will call up Drake from Triple-A Reno to start Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Drake will be making his MLB debut Tuesday, after he didn't appear in a game when he was called up as an emergency option in late June. The left-hander has had an up-and-down season for Reno, posting a 6.92 ERA over 17 appearances (16 starts). With Zac Gallen (elbow), recently joining the likes of Ryne Nelson (elbow), Michael Soroka (glute) and Corbin Burnes (elbow) on the injured list, Drake will step into the fifth spot of a depleted Arizona rotation. With a strong showing Tuesday, Drake could earn himself additional starts.

Happ went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 8-6 extra-inning loss to the Tigers.

Happ came through in the clutch with a two-run homer to tie the game in the eighth frame, though the Cubs ultimately fell in 10 innings. He has had a quiet July, going 9-for-47 (.191) with three extra-base hits in 14 contests. Overall, the switch hitter is slashing .218/.329/.429 with 18 homers, 44 RBI, 62 runs and four stolen bases across 96 games.

Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's extra-inning loss against Detroit.

Suzuki jumped on a center-cut fastball from Jack Flaherty, lifting it over the center-field wall for a two-run homer in the third inning. Things have been going well at the plate for Suzuki of late, as he's riding a nine-game hitting streak during which he has gone 13-for-34 (.382) with three long balls. Overall, the 31-year-old is slashing .273/.357/.476 with 16 homers, 50 RBI, 52 runs and a stolen base across 84 contests.

Ortiz went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 8-3 victory versus the Mets.

Ortiz capped the Brewers' scoring in the contest with a three-run blast to left field in the sixth inning. After going deep just once over his first 68 contests of the campaign, the infielder has displayed more power since late June, swatting four homers across his past 19 games. Ortiz's production has been helped by more playing time, as he's become an everyday part of Milwaukee's lineup since David Hamilton (hamstring) landed on the injured list July 7. However, Hamilton is reportedly close to beginning a rehab assignment, and Ortiz's opportunities may shrink a bit upon Hamilton's return.
