Byron Buxton CF | MIN
Twins' Byron Buxton: Exits early Tuesday
Buxton was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics with an apparent injury, Audra Martin of Twins.tv reports.
Buxton wasn't able to reach down to get his glove on a ball hit into right-center field in the seventh inning, and he looked to be grabbing at his right hip after the play -- the same hip that caused him to miss multiple weeks earlier this month. The Twins will take a closer look at him to determine the severity of his latest injury, and an update on his status may be available after the game.

Blue Jays' Nathan Lukes: Costly blunder on late two-run single
Lukes went 2-for-4 with a two-run single during the Blue Jays' 5-3 loss to the Royals on Tuesday.
Down four runs, the Blue Jays attempted a late rally in the ninth inning. With two men on base with two outs, Lukes found the gap in left-center field to bring home both Daz Cameron and Brett Bateman, but the inning ended when Lukes was tagged at second base while attempting to stretch a single into a double. Lukes has driven in at least one run in four of his last five games, going 5-for-18 (.278) with two home runs and six RBI in that span.

Gustavo Campero LF | LAA
Angels' Gustavo Campero: Pulled with leg injury
Campero was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians with right hamstring tightness.
Campero came up limping after advancing to second base on a wild pitch in the second inning and was immediately lifted in favor of a pinch runner. He'll likely undergo imaging to determine whether he suffered a strain, and Jose Siri could be in line for more playing time in the near future if Campero needs to miss additional games.

Max Clark CF | DET
Tigers' Max Clark: Goes deep in win Tuesday
Clark went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Rays.
Clark hit his second MLB home run and first at home in the fifth inning as the Tigers scored three times to erase a 1-0 deficit. The rookie outfielder has been scuffling a bit lately, as he came into Tuesday's contest having gone just 1-for-12 across his previous four games, but Detroit is incentivized to keep giving him regular playing time. Clark's prospect pedigree suggests he'll figure things out quickly in the majors and develop into a strong fantasy asset.

Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Remains out Tuesday
DeLauter (hamstring) is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Angels, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com.
DeLauter will miss his second consecutive game with left hamstring tightness. The 24-year-old was forced to miss three games last week against the Giants due to a similar issue. Jo Adell will move over to right field and bat cleanup for Cleveland on Tuesday.

Garrett Mitchell CF | MIL
Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Good to go Tuesday
Mitchell (forearm) is starting in center field and batting seventh Tuesday against the Mets, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Mitchell departed Sunday's game versus Atlanta with a forearm contusion after being hit by a pitch, but he's set to go following Monday's team off day. The 28-year-old has two doubles and a homer over his past three games, with those three-extra base hits being his first since Aug. 6.

Waldschmidt is out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Cubs, per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com.

Tyler O'Neill RF | BAL
Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Has right shoulder soreness
Manager Craig Albernaz said that O'Neill is dealing with right shoulder soreness and is set to get an MRI on Tuesday evening, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
O'Neill injured his right shoulder when he made a diving catch in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays. The right-handed batter would likely have started in Tuesday's contest against the Cardinals, who have southpaw Matthew Liberatore on the mound. Luis Vazquez is on the taxi squad in the scenario he is needed, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.
