Marlins' Owen Caissie: Goes deep against Seattle
Caissie went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk during Miami's 6-5 extra-inning win over Seattle on Tuesday.

It was the 12th home run of the season for Caissie, who has gone deep in three of his last six games. He has a .239 batting average over 246 plate appearances this season, but Caissie has been better at the plate of late, going 12-for-38 (.316) with one steal, four homers and 11 RBI over his last 15 games.

Dillon Lewis CF | MIA
Marlins' Dillon Lewis: Out with broken wrist
Double-A Pensacola placed Lewis on its 7-day injured list June 27 due to a broken hamate bone in his wrist, FishOnFirst.com reports.
The Marlins haven't issued a target date Lewis' return, but the typical timeline for hamate fractures is 6-to-8 weeks. With that in mind, Lewis appears likely to be sidelined through at least mid-August, with his absence potentially extending into September. Before going down with the injury, the 23-year-old outfielder slashed .240/.315/.512 with 17 home runs and 14 stolen bases over 66 games.

Jakob Marsee CF | MIA
Marlins' Jakob Marsee: Walks off Seattle
Marsee went 2-for-4 with two RBI during the Marlins' 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mariners on Tuesday.
Marsee extended Miami's lead to 3-0 with an RBI single in the third inning, but he made his biggest contribution in the 10th with a long, towering single that brought Xavier Edwards home for the game-winning run. This marks the fifth time this season that Marsee has logged at least two RBI and he's reached base safely in each of his last five games, going 5-for-15 with one home run, three RBI and four runs scored over that span.

Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT
Pirates' Ryan O'Hearn: Homers thrice in rout
O'Hearn went 4-for-5 with three home runs and 10 RBI in Tuesday's 12-4 win over Atlanta.
O'Hearn launched a grand slam and two three-run shots, driving in 10 of Pittsburgh's 14 runs. Per Aiden Stepansky of MLB.com, O'Hearn became just the 17th player in the modern era to tally at least 10 RBI in a game. The 32-year-old has now hit safely in eight of his past nine starts, including another multi-homer effort June 28. On the season, he's slashing .293/.351/.500 with 16 homers, 61 RBI, 47 runs scored and one steal across 319 plate appearances in what is shaping up to be a career year.

Tommy Troy LF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: On bench Tuesday
Troy is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.
Troy will give way to Tim Tawa in center field after occupying the position in the Diamondbacks' previous five contests. Since getting the call to the big leagues May 23, Troy has been a near-everyday player for Arizona but hasn't been a strong source of fantasy value. Through his first 36 games in the majors, Troy has scored 20 runs, but his production in other categories has been severely lacking (.221 average, three home runs, one stolen base, seven RBI).

Tommy Edman 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Back in lineup
Edman (foot/ankle) will start in left field and bat fifth Tuesday against the Rockies, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Problems with his surgically repaired right foot/ankle kept Edman out of the starting nine for the Dodgers' last two games, though he came in off the bench in both contests. Now healthy and back in the lineup, he'll aim to stay hot after slashing .347/439/.510 with nine RBI and six runs scored in 17 games since his return from the injured list June 17.

Luis Lara RF | MIL
Brewers' Luis Lara: Batting second in MLB debut
Lara is starting in center field and batting second in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.
The 21-year-old was promoted prior to the start of the twin bill and didn't see the field in Game 1, but he'll fill a marquee spot in the lineup while making his MLB debut in the nightcap. Lara is one of Milwaukee's top prospects and has posted a .910 OPS with nine homers and 24 steals in 78 games at Triple-A Nashville this season.

Garrett Mitchell CF | MIL
Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Ending twin bill on bench
Mitchell isn't in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.
Mitchell went 2-for-4 and drove in a run during Milwaukee's Game 1 victory, but he'll move to the bench to allow Luis Lara to make his MLB debut while starting in center field during the nightcap.

Jackson Chourio LF | MIL
Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Resting during Game 2
Chourio isn't in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against St. Louis.
