Moniak went 2-for-4 with a home run, an additional run and two total RBI in an 8-7 victory versus the Nationals on Tuesday.

Moniak produced Colorado's first run with an RBI single in the second inning and added a solo homer in the sixth. The 28-year-old had gone without a homer in 12 straight games coming into Tuesday and had posted just three RBI during that stretch. Still, Moniak's .894 OPS is on track for a career-best mark, and with 16 homers and 42 RBI through 66 games, he also has a good chance of setting career highs in both of those categories.

Merrill went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

Merrill tied things up in the fourth inning with a solo blast off Reynaldo Lopez. It's been feast or famine for the 23-year-old through five games since returning from the All-Star break, as he's posted three hitless efforts while tallying six hits and three homers in his other two games. For the season, he's slashing .222/.278/.368 with 13 homers, 43 RBI, 46 runs scored and 20 steals across 416 plate appearances.

Tatis went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

Tatis fell a triple shy of the cycle and smacked a two-run blast in the eighth inning. Through five games to open the second half, he has tallied three multi-hit efforts with three home runs and nine RBI. For the year, he's slashing .286/.349/.403 with eight homers, 44 RBI, 51 runs scored and 25 steals across 439 plate appearances.

Conforto went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Tigers.

Conforto got an opportunity against Detroit righty Brenan Hanifee in the fifth inning, and he made the most of it. The veteran outfielder now has nine home runs on the season, with seven of those coming against righties. Conforto continues to see sporadic playing time in right field with Matt Shaw (hand) on the injured list, and he generally hits the bench against southpaws.

Suzuki went 0-for-3 with three walks, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Tigers.

Despite snapping his nine-game hitting streak, Suzuki still managed to reach base multiple times for the seventh time in his last 10 contests. The outfielder had a delayed start to his regular season due to an injury he sustained during the World Baseball Classic, but he's once again settled in as one of Chicago's offensive leaders. Suzuki is now sporting a robust .832 OPS, and this would be his fourth straight year with an OPS north of .800.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-2 with three walks, one triple, one run and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Tigers.

Crow-Armstrong tied his season high in walks and also matched a season best by reaching base five times overall. After a somewhat slow start to the season, the dynamic center fielder has caught fire since the beginning of June. Crow-Armstrong is batting .350 with 13 stolen bases, 14 home runs, 29 RBI and 33 runs scored across his last 41 games. His combination of speed and power makes him an elite fantasy option, especially when he's getting on base so frequently.

Crews isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Crews will get a chance to regroup Tuesday after going just 3-for-29 with a homer, two RBI, five runs and a steal across his last eight starts. Daylen Lile, Jacob Young and James Wood will start across Washington's outfield while Crews sits.

Waldschmidt is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Waldschmidt started the previous three games and will hit the bench Tuesday after going 3-for-11 with a double, two runs and six strikeouts. Jorge Barrosa will take over in center field and bat ninth versus Athletics righty Jack Perkins.

The Phillies recalled De La Cruz from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The 29-year-old exercised the opt-out in his minor-league contract with the Phillies but quickly re-signed and was added to the 40-man roster in early July, and he'll now get his first look in the majors this season. De La Cruz has 12 homers with an .806 OPS in 84 games with the IronPigs this year, but he hasn't seen significant MLB action since he posted a .654 OPS across 149 games between Pittsburgh and Miami in 2024.

Carroll (elbow) is starting in right field and batting third Tuesday against the Athletics, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

The 25-year-old is back in the lineup as expected Tuesday after sitting out Monday's series opener due to a hyperextended right elbow. The fact Carroll is returning to the lineup so quickly and is playing the field rather than being eased back in as the designated hitter indicates the injury isn't a significant concern.
