Pages went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Twins.

Pages has homered twice in as many games versus Minnesota. He's now 5-for-10 with three extra-base hits over his last three contests as he looks to find more game-to-game stability in July. The outfielder has a .285/.326/.489 slash line with 19 homers, 63 RBI, 48 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 98 games this season.

Lux went 4-for-4 with an RBI single during Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Nationals.

Lux singled in all four of his at-bats Tuesday, and he delivered Cincinnati's only run of the game by plating Elly De La Cruz in the fourth inning. The performance marked Lux's second four-hit game of the season and the third of his career. In his last six games, Lux is 12-for-23 (.522) with a double and three RBI.

Burleson (foot) will start in left field and bat third Tuesday against the Rockies, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Burleson was originally set to miss Tuesday's game after fouling a ball off his right foot Monday, but he evidently is feeling well enough to return to the lineup without missing a start. Brendan Donovan will shift to second base as a result, moving Thomas Saggese to the bench.

Frelick (hamstring) expects to be back in the Brewers' lineup Friday, but he has some tests to pass first, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Frelick suffered a left hamstring strain in Milwaukee's final contest before the All-Star break, ultimately being placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 15. The outfielder is eligible to return to action Friday at home versus the Marlins, and he appears confident that he will do so. Frelick will participate in batting practice prior to Tuesday's contest versus the Mariners, which will provide more clarity on his timeline to return.

The Marlins placed Hill on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a sprained left middle finger, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Hill apparently suffered the injury in the batting cage Saturday and will be sidelined for at least the next week-plus. Jack Winkler was added to the big-league roster in a corresponding move.

Hernandez isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus Minnesota.

Hernandez will take a day to regroup Tuesday after going 1-for-15 with an RBI and five strikeouts since the All-Star break. Michael Conforto, James Outman and Andy Pages will start across Los Angeles' outfield while Hernandez sits.

Burleson (foot) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Burleson will require an extra day of recovery after he fouled a ball off his right foot during Monday's contest. Jordan Walker will pick up a start in right field as a result and bat seventh.

Crow-Armstrong (knee) will start in center field and bat fifth in Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Crow-Armstrong missed Monday's 12-4 loss after bruising his right knee on a slide in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Red Sox, but he's back in the lineup after a one-day absence. The 23-year-old is 5-for-12 with a home run and three doubles in his first three games of the second half.

Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Yastrzemski started the previous 11 games versus right-handed pitchers but will head to the bench Tuesday while in the midst of a 4-for-31 slump. Luis Matos will take over in right field and bat ninth against Atlanta righty Davis Daniel.

Freeman (illness) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game versus the Cardinals.

Freeman missed the previous two contests while battling an illness, but he feels well enough to give it a go Tuesday. The 26-year-old has slashed an impressive .324/.401/.435 over 56 games in his first season in Colorado.
