Tatis went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies.

Extra-base hits have been hard to come by for Tatis this season, but he doubled to lead off the game before adding a couple groundball singles later in the contest. The 27-year-old has six multi-hit performances in the last eight contests, batting a blistering .485 (16-for-33) over that stretch, but just three of those knocks -- two doubles and his first homer of 2026 -- have gone for extra bases.

Shaw (back) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, going hitless in three plate appearances.

Shaw started the game in center field in what was his first game action in over two weeks. He should not require many more, if any, rehab at-bats before returning to the Cubs' active roster. Shaw is working his way back from mid-back tightness.

Steer went 2-for-4 with two solo homers and three runs scored in Tuesday's extra-inning win over the Royals.

Both of Steer's homers came against lefties, as he took starter Noah Cameron deep in the fifth inning before tagging reliever Matt Strahm for a solo blast in the eighth. It was Steer's first multi-homer game of the season and snapped an 18-game homer drought. Since the beginning May, Steer is hitting .312 with four home runs, 13 RBI, 24 runs scored and an .848 OPS. For the season, Steer is slashing .277/.351/.461 with nine home runs, 23 RBI, 37 runs scored, three stolen bases and a 21:48 BB:K across 231 plate appearances.

Carroll went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Carroll got Arizona on the board with his third-inning blast. The outfielder has an extra-base hit in each of the last three games, going 4-for-13 in that span. For the season, he's hitting .289 with a .925 OPS, eight homers, 29 RBI, 38 runs scored, 14 doubles, eight triples and seven stolen bases over 57 contests.

Benge went 2-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mariners.

Benge accounted for two of the Mets' five hits and all of their run production in this loss. His power was largely absent for most of May, but he has homered three times over his last three games. The outfielder has gone 8-for-23 (.348) over his last six contests and is now batting .254 with a .705 OPS, six homers, 24 RBI, 30 runs scored, nine doubles and nine stolen bases through 58 games this season.

Hernandez went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI during the Marlins' 7-3 win over the Nationals on Tuesday.

The Marlins hit three straight home runs off Miles Mikolas in the fourth inning, with Hernandez's solo shot sandwiched between long balls by Joe Mack and Otto Lopez. Hernandez gave the Marlins insurance runs in the ninth with a two-run shot to left field, marking the first multi-homer game of his major-league career. He is now up to five home runs on the season, all of which have come in his last 11 games.

McCray will undergo surgery Thursday to repair a fractured hamate bone in his left hand, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

McCray has spent the entire season at Triple-A Sacramento, slashing .237/.360/.370 through 49 games. His fractured hamate has kept him out of action since May 29, however, and he figures to be out several more weeks after he undergoes surgery.

Freeman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Freeman is currently enjoying a seven-game hitting streak that's seen him go 10-for-25 (.400) with six runs scored, but the Rockies will keep him on the bench to begin Tuesday's game. His absence will open up a spot in the lineup for Edouard Julien, who will start at first base and bat ninth.

Lee is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Lee started the past four games after returning from a back strain but will take a seat Tuesday with lefty Kyle Harrison on the mound for Milwaukee. Victor Bericoto will pick up a start in right field and bat eighth for San Francisco.

The Padres selected Bowen's contract from Triple-A El Paso, and he's starting in left field and batting seventh Tuesday against the Phillies.

The 25-year-old is taking the place of Ramon Laureano (hip), who was placed on the injured list Tuesday. Bowen will be making his MLB debut and has a decent path to playing time due to Laureano being hurt and Nick Castellanos struggling to a .560 OPS. Bowen has a .292/.362/.600 slash line with 13 home runs and seven steals in 49 games with El Paso this year.
