Lara went 1-for-4 with a triple, a walk, three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.

Lara did a bit of everything in this contest, including showing off some speed. He's gotten on base multiple times in three of his last four games. Through his first 15 major-league games, the outfield prospect is batting .289 with four doubles, one triple, 10 RBI, six runs scored and two steals. He's still looking for his first home run, but he profiled as more of a contact hitter during his time in the minors. Lara is likely to see more time in right field while Jake Bauers is managing pain from a toe fracture.

Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Dodgers.

This was Rodriguez's first multi-hit effort since he returned from a stint on the injured list due to a concussion. He has gone 9-for-37 (.243) over 10 contests since his return. The star outfielder is now batting .257 with a .742 OPS, 16 homers, 46 RBI, 51 runs scored, 13 steals and 16 doubles over 97 contests. Rodriguez is on pace for a career-low in steals this year, though he could still reach 20 if he picks his spots well on the basepaths for the remainder of the campaign.

Happ went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Cardinals.

Happ got the Cubs on the board in his first plate appearance, ripping a two-out double to right field with two runners in scoring position. He added another double in the ninth inning, giving him 20 two-baggers on the year. The veteran outfielder is on pace to top 30 doubles for his fifth consecutive season. Happ has cooled off at the plate in July, batting .219 with six RBI across 21 games.

Young went 0-for-0 with two RBI, three walks and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Blue Jays.

Young drove in his first run courtesy of an RBI walk in the bottom of the first inning, and then drove in Daylen Lile on a sacrifice fly in the fifth. For the 26-year-old, it was his first multi-walk game since July 17 and his first time drawing three walks in a game this season. Young has been on fire in his last seven games, slashing .389/.455/.611 with one homer and five RBI in 21 plate appearances.

Crews went 1-for-4 with a homer, two runs scored, a walk and two strikeouts in Washington's 8-6 win over Toronto on Tuesday.

Crews blasted his ninth homer of the campaign in the bottom of the fourth, going back-to-back with Luis Garcia to extend the lead to 7-2. The 24-year-old has now recorded an extra-base hit in each of his last three games. Over his last seven games, Crews has slashed .375/.516/.708 with two homers and four RBI in 30 plate appearances.

Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Cardinals.

Suzuki has been swinging a hot bat lately, and he extended his hitting streak to four games with his seventh three-hit effort of the season. The outfielder is now batting .282 with a .954 OPS, six home runs and 21 RBI across 21 contests this month. Suzuki should remain a mainstay in fantasy lineups as long as he's healthy, as he's locked into a prime spot in Chicago's order and producing at a high level.

Johnson went 1-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Getting the start at second base and batting seventh in the nightcap, Johnson swiped both his bags after an eighth-inning walk as he tried to produce an insurance run in a 2-0 victory. It was only Johnson's second big-league start since making his debut for the Reds on June 30, and the hit and stolen bases were the first of his career. Edwin Arroyo has been scuffling of late, but any chance for Johnson to see more opportunities at the keystone will likely disappear once Matt McLain (calf) returns from the IL.

Carter went 2-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored, a walk, a stolen base and a strikeout in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Tampa Bay.

Carter opened the scoring Tuesday after scoring the first run of the game on a sacrifice fly by Nicky Lopez, and Carter later recorded an RBI single to give Texas a 4-1 lead. The 23-year-old now has back-to-back multi-hit games and a modest four-game hitting streak as well. Carter also has tied his career high in stolen bases, swiping his 14th bag of the season in the eighth inning Tuesday. On the year, Carter has batted .204/.320/.352 with eight homers and 28 RBI.

Buxton was removed from Tuesday's game against the Royals with right hip soreness, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Buxton went 0-for-2 at the plate before the Twins took him out of the game in the fifth inning. The team hasn't provided any information regarding the severity of the outfielder's injury, but more details could come in the near future. If Buxton ends up having to miss additional games, Alan Roden would likely be the next man up to start in the outfield.

Bader had a scooter accident this past weekend and further injured his left foot, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Bader has been sidelined since late May while nursing plantar fasciitis in his left foot. The outfielder met with a foot and ankle specialist in Indianapolis on Monday, and he will now require an MRI, which he will undergo Tuesday. Bader can be considered without a timetable to return for the time being.
