Ramon Urias 3B | STL
Cardinals' Ramon Urias: Exits game with sore arm
Urias was removed from Tuesday's game versus the Dodgers with left arm soreness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Urias has missed a large chunk of this season with tennis elbow in both arms, so his removal Tuesday could be related to that. He cranked a solo home run and added a walk Tuesday before being removed. Consider Urias day-to-day for the time being.

Nick Gonzales 3B | PIT
Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Three hits in Tuesday's win
Gonzales went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 13-12 win over the Giants.
Getting a rare start at DH and hitting cleanup, Gonzales was one of five Pirates with multiple hits on the night. The 27-year-old infielder has been swinging a hot bat all season, and over his last 20 games he's slashing .333/.435/.403 with five doubles, two steals, six runs and eight RBI. Gonzales still doesn't offer much power, however -- his homer drought stands at 33 games, and he has just six long balls in 536 plate appearances on the year.

Cardinals' Ramon Urias: Goes yard in win

Urias has gone 3-for-18 (.167) with two homers over eight games since he returned from a bout of tennis elbow in both arms. The infielder is filling a part-time role between second base and third base as the Cardinals navigate a tricky stretch of injuries. Urias is batting .160 with a .641 OPS, four homers, eight RBI, 14 runs scored, three doubles and no stolen bases over 89 plate appearances this year.

Marlins' Graham Pauley: Drives in career-high four runs
Pauley went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple, four RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Royals.
Recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday morning, Pauley drew the start at third base and made an immediate impact, launching a two-run homer off Randy Dobnak in his first plate appearance. He added a two-run triple in the seventh to establish a career high with four RBI. Pauley has struggled to find much consistency at the major-league level this season, as he is now slashing .205/.237/.357 with two homers across 47 games.

Marlins' Graham Pauley: Rejoins big club
The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.
Pauley has struggled to make an impact in the majors this year with a .194/.228/.306 slash line in 46 games, but he'll return to the big club Tuesday with rosters expanding to 28 players. The 25-year-old should serve as a depth infielder for the Marlins.

Manny Machado 3B | SD
Padres' Manny Machado: Collects four hits in win
Machado went 4-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-0 win over the Reds.
Machado doubled in his first plate appearance before adding singles in three of his next four trips to the plate, giving him a season-high four hits. The double also snapped a 10-game stretch without an extra-base hit, during which Machado batted just .184. Despite Monday's performance, the veteran third baseman is having a down year overall, batting .220 with a .712 OPS across 135 games.
