Anthony (wrist) took overhand pitching in the batting cage Tuesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Anthony has progressed from hitting off a tee to taking underhand flips to Tuesday's work in the cage. There's a planned recovery day Wednesday before Anthony takes BP in the cage Thursday. Boston interim manager Chad Tracy said Anthony will be evaluated during this phase prior to determining next steps for the outfielder. The progression will include on-field batting practice and hitting off the Trajekt machine, which simulates major-league pitchers. After that, it's a rehab assignment.

Trammell went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

Trammell took Chad Dallas deep in the fifth inning for his sixth long ball of the season, giving the Astros a lead they'd never relinquish. Trammell has launched three of his six homers over his last nine games and is batting .276 with a 1.068 OPS in that stretch.

Adell started in right field and went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Mets.

Adell made his debut for the Guardians after being acquired prior to Monday's trade deadline. Unfortunately for Cleveland, neither of his two hits came with runners in scoring position -- the team was 2-for-13 in such situations Tuesday. On a team starving for power, Adell should be a lineup regular during the Guardians' push for the postseason.

Greene went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 8-0 win over the Mariners.

Greene had gone 0-for-14 with five walks over his previous four games, leading to a day off Sunday. The outfielder was one of four Tigers to put up multiple hits in Tuesday's contest. He's now batting .278 with an .831 OPS, 16 homers, 54 RBI, 61 runs scored, 24 doubles, one triple and three stolen bases over 111 contests. While Greene still has decent production overall, he's fallen far short of matching the promise he showed in a 36-homer, 111-RBI campaign during the 2025 regular season.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk in Tuesday's 14-2 win over the White Sox.

Abreu took Davis Martin deep in the fifth inning before adding another solo shot off Erick Fedde in the eighth to raise his season total to 19 long balls. It was his third multi-homer game of the season and gave him four home runs over his last five contests. While Abreu is batting just .200 across 18 games since the All-Star break, eight of his 14 hits have left the yard.

Simpson went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-innings win over the Rockies.

Simpson is closing in on his second straight 30-steal campaign. He's 29-for-40 on the basepaths in 2026, though he went 44-for-56 on stolen-base attempts over 109 games in 2025. Simpson has added a steady .299 batting average with a .687 OPS, 22 RBI, 46 runs scored, 11 doubles and three triples through 106 contests. The speedster remains in search of his first home run in the majors.

Montgomery went 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI on Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Montgomery was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to a skin infection, but after an additional team day off Monday, he was able to return to the lineup. He was one of the limited sources of offense for the White Sox, grounding out with runners on first and third in the sixth inning to knock in a run. Montgomery has performed well since the start of July, scoring 11 runs while driving in 12 across 26 games. He's hitting only .239 in that span, though he likely deserves better as he's maintained just an 18.6 percent strikeout rate over that same stretch.

O'Neill homered in his lone at-bat as a pinch hitter during Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Angels.

O'Neill gave the Orioles an insurance run in the eighth inning Tuesday. Baltimore traded away Taylor Ward on Monday, opening up plenty of reps in its outfield, and O'Neill is making a case in his part-time role for more playing time. He's batting .304 with six homers, two doubles and 10 RBI over his last 46 at-bats (19 games) since the start of July and is now slashing .213/.298/.388 with eight long balls, eight doubles and 18 RBI across 205 plate appearances for the season.

Triple-A Durham placed Melton (hamstring) on the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Melton left Durham's game against Gwinnett on Saturday due to what's since been diagnosed as a right hamstring strain, which will keep him sidelined for at least one week. However, the injury is not expected to be serious, per MLB.com. Melton is slashing .285/.381/.520 with five home runs, 12 doubles, 23 RBI and 23 stolen bases over 148 plate appearances for the Bulls this season.

Montgomery (ankle) is starting in right field and batting eighth Tuesday against the Red Sox.

A superficial skin infection in his right ankle resulted in Montgomery being scratched from the lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Rays, but he's all clear after Monday's team off day. The rookie outfielder has gone 1-for-15 with five strikeouts over his past four games and has a .239/.315/.384 slash line with three homers through 44 contests this year.
