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.

Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Royals.

Perdomo was back in the lineup a day after taking a line drive off the helmet. He had a run-scoring single as part of Arizona's five-run 10th inning.

Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.

Gimenez supplied the RBI double during Toronto's seventh-inning rally. He also homered to tie the game in the ninth, but the Athletics were able to walk it off in their half of the frame. Gimenez hasn't gone hitless in consecutive games since late July, providing a steady bat in the bottom third of the order. He's hitting .244 with a .652 OPS, nine homers, 54 RBI, 36 runs scored, 21 doubles, one triple and 20 stolen bases over 134 contests this season.

De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

De La Cruz has homered in three straight games and has multiple hits in five straight. The steal was his first since Aug. 29 against the Cubs and just his fifth on seven attempts since the start of August. The speedy shortstop is batting .281 with an .859 OPS, 24 homers, 25 steals, 67 RBI, 87 runs scored, 25 doubles and five triples over 125 contests this season.

McGonigle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-4 win over the Twins.

McGonigle hit his 15th home run of the season and first since Aug. 23 to help lead the Tigers to a win. Since that Aug. 23 long ball, the 22-year-old infielder is batting just .157, a sign that he's maybe starting to hit a wall in what's been a very productive debut campaign overall. Even with the recent slump, McGonigle remains the favorite for AL Rookie of the Year honors, and his future as a fantasy asset appears to be bright.
