Bolte went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Toronto.

Bolte didn't drive in any runs, but he recorded his seventh multi-hit effort over the past 16 games. During that stretch, the rookie is slashing .338/.434/.554 with three homers, six RBI, 13 runs and five stolen bases. Overall, Bolte is hitting .278/.359/.397 with nine homers, 32 RBI, 46 runs and 19 stolen bases across 103 contests.

Cortes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Cortes got the Athletics on the board with a solo blast to right field in the fourth inning. Dating back to Aug. 1, the outfielder has homered just twice while posting a .250/.294/.362 slash line with 12 RBI, five runs and a stolen base over 28 games. On the year, Cortes is hitting .261/.328/.405 with nine homers, 40 RBI, 28 runs and two stolen bases in 110 contests.

Smith went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Phillies.

Smith led off the fourth inning with a 418-foot shot off Andrew Painter, his 18th of the year, extending Houston's lead to 5-0. The homer was Smith's first since Aug. 18, though he's still managed to post an .891 OPS over his last eight games. Overall, Smith is slashing .214/.280/.394 across 504 plate appearances this season with 59 runs scored, 51 RBI and 10 steals.

Montes went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's 10-5 loss to the Rangers.

Making his return to the lineup after missing Seattle's previous two games with a hip injury, Montes cut the M's deficit to 4-3 in the fourth inning with a three-run blast off Cal Quantrill that traveled 474 feet, tied for the longest homer in the majors this season. After going 2-for-4 with a home run in his major-league debut Sept. 1, Montes had gone just 1-for-10 in his subsequent four contests. Still, the rookie should see regular playing time down the stretch in a strong-side platoon role.

Varsho went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Phillies.

Varsho extended Houston's lead to 6-3 in the seventh inning with his 11th homer of the year, a 406-foot blast off lefty Brooks Raley. The outfielder also logged his first multi-hit game since Aug. 26 -- Varsho had gone just 3-for-28 (.107) in eight contests prior to Tuesday. Since joining the Astros at the trade deadline, Varsho is slashing .191/.256/.348 with four homers, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored and three steals across 31 games.

Martinez started in right field and went 2-for-5 with a triple and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-5 win over Baltimore.

Martinez tripled and scored in the second inning and then singled and scored in the seventh. He made a fourth consecutive start, as Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt navigates around an injury to Chase DeLauter (wrist), who has missed the last four contests. Martinez has rebounded nicely from a three-month slumber that saw him slash .193/.228/.360 over 43 games between May and July. The outfielder is batting .303 (30-for-99) with seven doubles, one triple, three home runs and 17 RBI over 30 games since Aug. 1.

Ramos went 1-for-1 with a three-run homer during Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

Ramos was not in the Yankees' starting lineup Tuesday, but he was brought in for the seventh inning to take over for Aaron Judge in right field. Ramos answered the call at the plate, crushing a three-run home run in the eighth to give the Yankees a 5-1 lead before the Rockies scored two runs in the ninth. Even with Judge back from the IL, Ramos should still see some playing time in the outfield while the former is eased back following a more than three-month absence.

Judge went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts during the Yankees' 5-3 win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

Judge was officially back in the lineup Tuesday after missing more than three months while on the IL due to a stress fracture in his ribs. He didn't have the performance he wanted in front of the home crowd, striking out in both his first and third plate appearances while flying out to center field in the fourth inning. Judge is expected to be eased back into action given his lengthy absence and lack of a rehab assignment, so he'll see some extra days off and occasionally serve as the designated hitter over the final weeks of the regular season.

The Mariners reinstated Robles from the family medical emergency list Tuesday.

Robles was placed on the family medical emergency list Thursday. Stuart Fairchild was brought up from Triple-A Tacoma to replace Robles on the roster but was designated for assignment Tuesday in a corresponding move.

Montes (hip) will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth Tuesday against the Rangers.

Montes entered Seattle's last two games off the bench after suffering a hip injury Friday, and he's now feeling well enough to return to the starting nine for Tuesday's series opener. The 21-year-old homered in his MLB debut last Tuesday but has since gone just 1-for-10 with an RBI and six strikeouts in four contests.
