Arraez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

The Padres are closing out their series in Washington with a day game after a night game, and the Nationals are bringing a lefty (Patrick Corbin) to the hill, so San Diego manager Mike Shildt likely decided that it was an opportune time to give the lefty-hitting Arraez a breather. Unless he's used off the bench, Arraez will put his six-game hitting streak on hold and will cede the designated-hitter spot to Manny Machado on Thursday.

Bell went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-3 victory versus the Orioles.

Bell belted the only long ball of the contest, swatting a solo shot to center field in the fourth inning. It was his second homer in three contests following a 22-game stretch during which he went deep only once. Bell has hit 11 home runs through 100 contests, so he'll have to pick up the pace to reach 20 long balls for the fifth time in his career.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Yankees.

Alonso was one of two Mets to reach the 20-homer threshold this season, as both he and Francisco Lindor hit the mark in this blowout win. Alonso has come out of the gates swinging in the second half, going 7-for-23 (.304) over six games since the All-Star break. The first baseman is at a .244/.324/.458 slash line with 53 RBI, 57 runs scored, two stolen bases and 23 doubles through 101 contests this season.

Yepez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 12-3 loss to the Padres.

Yepez helped the Nationals to a hot start with his first-inning blast, but it was all Padres after that. The 26-year-old is still yet to be held hitless in his Washington career, and his power has come around with two homers and two doubles over five games since the All-Star break. He's batting .368 with two homers, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, one stolen base and eight doubles over 15 contests in the majors this year.

Tellez went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Cardinals.

The first baseman wasn't even supposed to be in the starting lineup with St. Louis sending southpaw Matthew Liberatore to the mound, but Tellez was a late addition after Bryan Reynolds had his back lock up on him earlier in the day, forcing Connor Joe to the outfield. Tellez took advantage of the opportunity, driving in the Bucs' first run with an RBI single in the second inning before launching a solo shot that chased Liberatore from the game to lead off the fourth. The 29-year-old slugger is up to nine homers on the season, but seven of them have come in his last 21 games -- a stretch in which Tellez is batting .308 (20-for-65) with 17 RBI.

Tellez will start at first base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Though he had been scheduled to receive Wednesday's game off with a lefty (Matthew Liberatore) taking the hill for the Cardinals, Tellez was added to the lineup after Bryan Reynolds (back) was scratched from the starting nine. Connor Joe had been slated to fill in for Tellez at first base but will instead replace Reynolds in the outfield.

Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Connor Joe will fill in at first base for the lefty-hitting Tellez, who takes a seat while the Cardinals send southpaw Matthew Liberatore to the mound. Tellez has gotten off to a nice start to the second half of the season, going 3-for-11 with a double, a walk and three RBI through the Pirates' first five games.

Hoskins isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Hoskins will get a day to regroup after going 2-for-11 with a home run in three games since the All-Star break. In his place, Jake Bauers will start at first base and bat seventh.

The Rockies reinstated Bryant (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Bryant has been on the shelf since June 6 due to a left oblique strain, but after playing in three rehab games with Triple-A Albuquerque, he'll rejoin the Rockies active roster. The 32-year-old slashed .186/.307/.279 in 101 plate appearances with Colorado prior to the injury and should slot into a regular DH role while occasionally filling in at first base. Sean Bouchard was optioned to Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Harper went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's 7-2 loss at Minnesota.

The Philadelphia superstar opened the game's scoring with a titanic 424-foot, two-run homer off Bailey Ober in his first career at-bat at Target Field. After being slowed by hamstring and hand injuries to open this month, Harper is now hitting .242 (8-for-33) with three homers, seven runs scored, seven RBI and six walks in nine July games. Overall, the two-time NL MVP is slashing .297/.395/.578 across 375 plate appearances this season.
