Adell went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Rays.

Adell drove in all three of the Angels' runs Tuesday, highlighted by a two-run blast off Ryan Pepiot in the fifth inning. Long known for his raw strength, the outfielder is finally putting together sustained success in the power department, posting a .465 slugging percentage and a career-high 23 homers through 107 games this season.

Lukes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.

Lukes clubbed his 10th homer of the season to put the Blue Jays on the board in the third inning before the offense caught fire to secure a convincing win. The outfielder had been in a 3-for-25 slump over his previous seven games heading into the series, but he's bounced back by going 5-for-8 with three extra-base hits, two RBI and three walks across the first two games against the Rockies.

Varsho went 3-for-5 with a double, two homers and six RBI in Tuesday's victory over Colorado.

Varsho built on his four-RBI effort Monday with a massive six-RBI showing Tuesday, fueled by two home runs. Injuries -- most recently a hamstring strain -- have disrupted his 2025 campaign, but when healthy, the center fielder has flashed serious power, posting a .602 slugging percentage across 28 games. If he can use this explosive series in Colorado as a springboard, it would be a huge boost for a Toronto team that's quickly emerging as a legitimate contender.

Robert went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mariners.

Robert has hit safely in each of his last seven games, going 10-for-26 (.385) with two homers, three stolen bases and five RBI in that span. The outfielder has provided consistency at the plate for nearly a month now, his first largely successful stretch of the season. He's at a .219/.301/.362 slash line with 12 homers, 46 RBI, 44 runs scored and 29 steals across 92 contests.

Canzone went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the White Sox.

The homer was Canzone's first since July 3 against the Royals. He hadn't logged an extra-base hit over his previous 11 games, though he went 7-for-30 (.233) with two RBI and a stolen base in that span. The outfielder is still holding down a starting role in right field despite the recent lack of power. On the year, he's batting .296 with an .851 OPS, seven homers, 16 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases over 154 plate appearances.

Buxton (ribcage) isn't on track to return from the 10-day injured list during the Twins' series in Detroit that ends Wednesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Buxton was diagnosed with left ribcage inflammation after colliding with an outfield wall July 26 and was later placed on the IL. Though Buxton is said to be making progress, the Twins haven't offered up a clear timeline for his return from the IL. Austin Martin will likely continue to see the bulk of the starts in center field while Buxton is on the shelf.

X-rays on Loperfido's right knee came back negative following Tuesday's victory over the Rockies, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Loperfido made an early exit from Tuesday's game after getting hit on the knee by a pitch. The Jays are officially labeling his injury as a contusion, and the team will determine his availability on a day-to-day basis for now. If the 26-year-old ends up needing to miss a start or two, Davis Schneider and Myles Straw could pick up some extra playing time.

Altuve went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Tuesday's win over Miami.

Altuve ripped a two-run jack in the first inning for his 19th of the year. He later drew a walk and knocked a single in his first multi-hit performance since July 30. Altuve had just one home run in his previous 17 games entering Tuesday's contest. He's now slashing .281/.343/.461 with 37 extra-base hits and 59 RBI through 110 games this season.

Loperfido was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rockies after getting hit on the knee by a pitch, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Loperfido had to be helped off the field after taking a 98-mph fastball off his right knee in the sixth inning of Tuesday's contest. He will almost certainly head in for X-rays to determine whether he suffered any structural damage, and the Blue Jays should offer an update on his status in the near future. Myles Straw entered the game as Loperfido's replacement in the outfield and may be in line for regular starts if the latter ends up needing to miss time.

X-rays on O'Neill's right wrist came back negative following his removal from Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

O'Neill took an additional at-bat after jamming his wrist against the outfield wall, but he was unable to play through his injury for the whole game. Now that he's been confirmed to have avoided structural damage, the 30-year-old outfielder should be able to avoid the injured list. However, Baltimore may hold him out for a game or two so he can properly recover.
