Baez went 4-for-5 with four home runs and seven RBI in Triple-A Memphis' win over Nashville on Tuesday.

Baez went deep in each of his first three trips to the plate before he grounded out back to the pitcher in the seventh inning. He then got another chance in the eighth inning and smashed a solo blast. Baez has an incredible 12 long balls over his last 18 games, pushing his total on the season to a career-high 23. He's also stolen 12 bases in 13 attempts and boasts a .976 OPS. Baez's best path to playing time with the Cardinals is in center field, and most of his starts have come at that position (35). However, Baez has played right field in each of his last three contests.

Doyle (oblique) worked in the batting cage Monday, MLB.com reports.

Doyle has resumed baseball activities and specifically noted that his swing intensity increased Monday. Though he's been sidelined for a month, there is no specific timeline for his return to action.

Beck (hamstring) stretched and did running drills prior to Tuesday's game against the Cubs, MLB.com reports.

Beck has yet to resume fielding drills -- one of the the final steps in his recovery prior to beginning a rehab assignment. There is no specific timeline for his return, though it appears he could realistically be activated by late June or early July.

Moniak (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Moniak is scheduled to play with Albuquerque during its weekend series and will return to Denver on Sunday to be evaluated by the team's medical staff. He could presumably be activated shortly thereafter, potentially for the start of the Rockies' series against the Red Sox on Monday.

McCarthy went 3-for-5 with a run scored Tuesday against the Cubs.

McCarthy started his second consecutive game after being out of the lineup for five straight contests due to an illness. He tallied Colorado's first hit of Tuesday's game with a single to lead off the fourth inning and also came around to score in the same frame. McCarthy has four multi-hit performances in his last nine starts, and he's also scored five runs to go along with a stolen base in that span.

Reynolds went 4-for-5 with a pair of home runs, three total runs and three total RBI in a 6-5 win against the Athletics on Tuesday.

The A's got off to a 4-0 lead after one inning, but Pittsburgh managed to come back largely on the strength of Reynolds' bat. The veteran outfielder clubbed a solo shot in the sixth inning to close the deficit to two runs, and then tied the score 5-5 with a two-run blast to right field in the seventh. Reynolds extended his on-base streak to 23 games, a stretch during which he's batting .361 with six homers, eight doubles, 13 RBI, 19 runs and two stolen bases. That's pushed his season OPS to .870, his highest mark since the 2021 campaign.

Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Rockies.

One night after collecting his first career cycle, Crow-Armstrong couldn't reproduce the volume of hits, but he still managed his 14th home run of the season. The 24-year-old has gone deep eight times in his last 16 games, and he's batting a robust .417 this month with 10 RBI and 11 runs scored. Crow-Armstrong is back to being a high-level fantasy star.

Harris was removed from Tuesday's game against the Giants with lower-back tightness.

The severity of Harris' injury remains unknown, but Atlanta may provide more details following Tuesday's contest. Eli White entered Tuesday's game as Harris' replacement and could be in line for more playing time if the latter needs to miss additional games.

Stowers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies

Stowers will hit the bench Tuesday after a run of 23 straight starts, during which he posted a .205/.268/.432 slash line with six doubles, a triple, four homers and 16 RBI. He also struck out at a 36.7 percent clip during that stretch and has been punched out multiple times in four of the past five games. Esteury Ruiz is starting in left field and batting seventh Tuesday versus Philadelphia.

Ramos (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Out since mid-May with a right quadriceps strain, Ramos has been cleared to test things out in a game setting after ramping up workouts without issue in recent days. With Casey Schmitt seemingly taking hold of the Giants' left-field job, Ramos' playing time situation once back on the active roster is a bit cloudy. Ramos slashed .267/.307/.424 with four home runs over 176 plate appearances before getting hurt.
