Hiura is currently sidelined at Triple-A Nashville due to right elbow discomfort, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The elbow has been bothering him for a while, per McCalvy, and the 27-year-old has been sent for imaging scans as the Brewers try to sort out the exact nature of the issue. Hiura has yet to be given a look in the majors this season, and it might not happen at all now, but he boasts a .308/.395/.565 slash line with 23 home runs and 77 RBI through 85 games at Triple-A.

Cooper is not in the lineup Friday against the Astros.

Matt Carpenter will play first base and bat seventh versus the Astros and right-hander Hunter Brown. Cooper has struggled against righties this year, but he should generally be the Padres' primary first baseman with Jake Cronenworth (wrist) unlikely to return this season.

Votto (shoulder) could be activated from the injured list as early as Sunday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Votto is set to begin a minor-league stint Friday with Triple-A Louisville, and the Reds apparently don't think he'll need much time to get back up to speed. The 39-year-old has been sidelined since Aug. 24 because of a mild strain in his troublesome left shoulder. He's appeared in only 51 major-league games this season.

Votto (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Votto began easing back into hitting drills about a week ago and evidently things must have gone well. The Reds have not set a target date for his return to the lineup, as they no doubt want to see how his shoulder responds in game action first. Votto has been on the shelf for the last two weeks with a left shoulder strain, which is the same shoulder he had surgically repaired last year.

Olson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in Thursday's 8-5 victory against St. Louis.

Olson belted one of five Atlanta homers in the win, slugging a 410-foot shot to center field in the fifth inning. It was his fourth consecutive contest with a long ball, increasing his MLB-leading total in that category to 47. During the homer streak, Olson has gone 8-for-15 with four RBI and six runs scored.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Wednesday's 11-6 win over Atlanta.

Goldschmidt has swung a steady bat lately, batting .309 (17-for-55) with four homers and 11 RBI over his last 15 games. The first baseman's homer Wednesday came in the first inning and set the tone for the Cardinals in their second straight win over Atlanta. Goldschmidt is up to 23 long balls this year while adding 73 RBI, 79 runs scored, 10 stolen bases and a .277/.367/.457 slash line through 135 contests.

Olson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's loss to St. Louis.

Olson belted a solo shot to right-center field in the sixth inning for his 46th long ball of the campaign. That's a career-high total for the first baseman and the most in the majors. Olson also leads the league with 115 RBI while slashing .270/.375/.591 over 618 plate appearances.

Wade is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Cubs.

With lefty Jordan Wicks on the hill for Chicago, Wade will yield to Wilmer Flores at first base. Wade has a .663 OPS and just one of his 14 home runs this season against left-handers.

Flores went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 11-8 loss to the Cubs.

Flores has drawn a walk in five straight games while adding a pair of solo homers in that span. He's hitting just .239 over his last 19 games, but that comes with a .535 slugging percentage, six homers and 12 RBI. For the season, the versatile infielder has a .288/.354/.535 slash line with 21 long balls, 51 RBI, 48 runs scored and 22 doubles, though he's yet to attempt a stolen base through 106 games.

Candelario is not in the Cubs' lineup Wednesday against the Giants.

Candelario is receiving a rare day off. His last game on the bench was Sept. 1, but that was part of a doubleheader. Prior to that, he had appeared in every game since Aug. 13.
