Koss went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Cardinals.

Koss has four homers this season, all coming over his last 12 contests. He's batting .250 (10-for-40) with seven RBI in that span. The infielder is batting .219 with a .594 OPS, nine RBI, 22 runs scored, five doubles and two stolen bases over 164 plate appearances this season, so the recent power surge is a bit of a surprise. Koss should continue to see steady playing time in the infield to close out the campaign, though that could change if Willy Adames (elbow) or Marcelo Mayer (forearm) come off the injured list.

De Vries will undergo surgery to repair an anterior labrum tear in his right shoulder, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

De Vries is expected to require eight months to recover following his procedure, which will officially put an early end to his season and rule him out for the early portion of the 2027 campaign as well. The 19-year-old infield prospect will close the book on 2026 after slashing .287/.376/.453 with 13 homers, 55 RBI, 64 runs scored and 34 steals across 431 plate appearances at Double-A Midland.

Neto went 4-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run during the Angels' 6-1 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Neto's four hits Tuesday were his second most of the season, and he capped off his night with a two-run home run over the Green Monster to give the Angels a five-run lead. The 25-year-old shortstop has had his ups and downs this season but is enjoying a productive season overall. Neto has a .242/.321/.436 slash line with 19 steals (in 30 attempts), 24 home runs and 69 RBI over 626 plate appearances this year.

McGonigle went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.

McGonigle provided all of Detroit's offense in the fifth inning with his 16th home run of the season, which was his second long ball in as many nights. After slowing down a bit in August with a .231 batting average and .697 OPS across 27 games, the rookie infielder is aiming to wrap up his debut campaign with a flourish. No matter how he finishes the year, McGonigle has done more than enough to establish himself as a rising fantasy star heading into 2027.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Marlins.

Lindor set the tone early for the Mets' batters by taking the first pitch he saw from Sandy Alcantara deep to center field for a leadoff homer in the first inning. Lindor has a .222 batting average (14-for-63) over his last 15 games, but he's also smashed five home runs in that span while logging seven RBI and 12 runs scored.

Henderson was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians with an apparent foot injury, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Henderson fouled a ball off his foot during his at-bat in the eighth inning. He initially remained in the game, drew a walk and advanced to second on a Coby Mayo groundout, but he was then pulled after a visit from a trainer. He'll likely undergo imaging to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and the Orioles may provide more information on his health after the game.

The Cardinals activated Winn (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

After missing slightly over two weeks with a left thumb fracture, Winn will return to the lineup Tuesday. The 24-year-old will bat eighth and man shortstop for the second game of a three-game set against San Francisco. St. Louis demoted Cesar Prieto to clear a roster spot for Winn.

Willits was promoted from High-A Wilmington to Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, Willits has slashed .262/.404/.457 with 13 home runs, 60 stolen bases and a 92:109 BB:K in 111 games between Single-A Fredericksburg and Wilmington this season. Willits will not turn 19 until December and has established himself as one of the best prospects in the game.

The Rays placed Walls on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right hip flexor strain, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Walls didn't play in his team's last game Sunday, so it seems he's been dealing with the injury for a few days. He'll be eligible to return Sept. 18, but it's unclear whether Walls has a chance to be ready on that date. Jorge Mateo will likely handle the bulk of the reps at shortstop while Walls is shelved.

Miller (back) was transferred to Double-A Reading on Tuesday to continue his rehab assignment, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

The 22-year-old was sent to Single-A Clearwater on Saturday to begin the rehab assignment and will move up to the Double-A level after going 1-for-2 with a walk and a double in one game. Miller has been on the shelf all season due to a back injury, but he could see action with Triple-A Memphis before the end of the regular season in a couple weeks.
