Cronenworth is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Cronenworth will avoid a matchup with southpaw David Peterson on Saturday, giving way to Luis Arraez at first base while Donovan Solano slots in at DH. It'll be Cronenworth's first time out of the lineup since Aug. 7

Goldschmidt went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 6-1 win over the Twins.

Goldschmidt wasn't able to shake his slump at the plate after receiving an off day Thursday. He's gone just 3-for-31 (.097) over his last eight contests, striking out eight times in that span. The first baseman's now at a .226/.286/.383 slash line with 19 home runs, eight steals, 49 RBI and 59 runs scored through 122 games, putting him on pace for his worst numbers in a full season since his injury-shortened 2014 campaign.

Tellez went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Friday against the Reds.

Tellez has struggled to hit for power since the All-Star break, as he has only nine extra-base hits -- including two homers -- in 28 games. As a result, he's driven in only 11 and scored seven runs in that span. On a positive note, he's hitting .268 across 82 at-bats so far in the second half, improving his average to .249 on the campaign.

Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 11-3 win over the A's.

The first baseman got the rout started with a three-run shot off JP Sears in the second inning. Hoskins snapped an 0-for-20 slump with the long ball, and his four RBI on the night tied his season high. The 31-year-old is slashing .217/.302/.425 through 101 contests with 21 homers and 64 RBI, and while he hasn't returned to his Phillies peak, Hoskins has at least stayed mostly healthy in his first season back from the ACL tear that cost him the entire 2023 campaign.

Walker (oblique) recently began hitting against a high-velocity pitching machine, MLB.com reports.

Walker, who was placed on the 10-day injured list July 30, continues to check off boxes during his rehab. The process began with running, dry swings, hitting off a tee and then progressed to facing soft-toss pitching. Now, after hitting high-velocity pitches from a machine, Walker's next step is live batting practice.

Wade went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, two walks and two total runs scored in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

Wade has been fairly quiet in August, going 11-for-47 (.234) over 16 games this month. He's added a 9:13 BB:K while also hitting two homers in that span. For the year, Wade is at a .281/.410/.397 slash line with five homers, 22 RBI, 38 runs scored, 13 doubles and one stolen base over 301 plate appearances. He remains strictly confined to a strong-side platoon role at first base.

Arraez went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 7-0 win over the Mets.

Arraez led off the bottom of the first inning with a homer and added an RBI single in the third to stretch the Padres' lead to 6-0. The long ball was his first in a month, though the infielder has been productive in August, hitting .299 (23-for-77) over 18 contests. For the season, he's up to a .306/.339/.382 slash line with four homers, 36 RBI, 67 runs scored and six stolen bases over 121 games between the Padres and the Marlins.

Gurriel (undisclosed) was placed on Triple-A Gwinnett's 7-day injured list Friday, Gwinnett Broadcaster Dave Lezotte reports.

Gurriel had begun playing third base in the wake of a hand injury to Austin Riley, in case he was needed in the majors at the position during the closing weeks of the regular season. However, his 40-year-old body may not be holding up well to the additional defensive responsibilities, although Atlanta has yet to indicate the nature of Gurriel's injury.

Smith is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.

Smith went 0-for-3 in his Reds debut Thursday, but he'll yield to the righty-hitting Ty France at first base against southpaw Bailey Falter and the Pirates. Smith slashed .237/317/390 in 278 plate appearances with the Red Sox before being released.

Smith started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 7-0 loss to the Pirates.

Smith, who was signed earlier in the day after being released by Boston on Tuesday, made his debut for the Reds. With Jeimer Candelario (toe) and Jake Fraley (knee) landing on the the 10-day injured list in recent days, the Reds could have regular spots in the lineup available for both Smith and Ty France against right-handed pitching at either first base and designated hitter.
