Chaparro (oblique) has been sent to the rookie-level Florida Complex League Nationals to begin a rehab assignment.

Chaparro is finally ready to play in games after going down with a left oblique strain in mid-March. The 26-year-old has a chance to work his way into regular playing time with the Nationals, perhaps in the designated hitter spot where Josh Bell has struggled.

Naylor went 2-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Giants.

Naylor delivered a two-run single to put the Diamondbacks ahead 3-0 in the first inning. He added a two-run homer in the ninth, but Arizona didn't add to the comeback effort after that blast. The first baseman is on a six-game hitting streak, going 7-for-25 (.280) with three extra-base hits in that span. For the season, Naylor's at a .296/.367/.459 slash line with five homers, 27 RBI, 21 runs scored, seven steals and 11 doubles over 42 contests.

Schmitt (oblique) started at first base and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Triple-A Sacramento's 5-3 win over Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Schmitt began his rehab assignment with Sacramento after being officially placed on the 10-day IL on April 19 due to a Grade 2 left oblique strain. The 26-year-old infielder singled in the first inning before coming around to score. Schmitt has made eight appearances in the majors this season, slashing .174/.208/.261 with two RBI and one run scored across 23 plate appearances.

Freeman requires 90 minutes of treatment on his surgically repaired right ankle every day, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Freeman noted that the ankle is "not 100 percent" but is "good enough" to play on. The lingering ankle discomfort is likely the main reason Freeman has yet to steal a base in 2025 after averaging 15 steals over the previous three seasons. However, it has not affected Freeman at the plate, as he's sporting a robust .376/.437/.734 batting line with nine home runs and 33 RBI. Freeman has been told by doctors that he might not have to do as much daily treatment on the ankle after the All-Star break.

Schmitt (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports

Schmitt has been cleared for game action after missing more than three weeks with Grade 2 left oblique strain. The infielder should be ready to rejoin the Giants within the next week or so if all goes well.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

Alonso gave the Mets the lead in the seventh inning on an infield RBI single, and he sent the home crowd happy in the bottom of the ninth on a sacrifice fly to right field that brought Francisco Lindor home. Alonso has reached base safely in 22 of his last 23 games and is slashing .318/.428/.604 with nine home runs, 36 RBI and 28 runs over 187 plate appearances this season.

Schmitt (oblique) might begin a rehab assignment as soon as Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Schmitt is more than three weeks removed from suffering a Grade 2 oblique strain and is almost ready to test things out in a game setting. Because his absence has been relatively brief, Schmitt shouldn't require a lengthy rehab assignment before returning to the Giants' active roster.

Wade is not in the Giants' starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Wade struggled at the plate during the Giants' three-game weekend series against the Twins, going 0-for-9 with a walk and three strikeouts. He'll begin Monday's game in the dugout while Wilmer Flores starts at first base and bats fifth.

Martinez (thumb) rejoined the Triple-A Nashville lineup Thursday and has gone 1-for-10 with three walks, an RBI and a run over his last three games.

Though Nashville never placed him on the injured list, Martinez hadn't played since April 22 due to a right thumb injury before he made his return to action just over two weeks later. At 25, Martinez is an older prospect who is limited defensively to first base, but he's put himself on the radar for a potential late-season promotion to the Brewers by posting an .812 OPS while striking out at a manageable 18.9 percent clip over his 90 plate appearances thus far with Nashville.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Bauers seems to be moving ahead of Isaac Collins in the Brewers' outfield hierarchy; the former will start for the third time in Milwaukee's last four matchups versus right-handed pitchers, while Collins has started just once during that stretch. Both players will likely see their playing time trend downward once Garrett Mitchell (oblique) is cleared to return from the injured list.
