Goodman went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Monday against Atlanta.

Goodman was called up Sunday and has made a pair of starts at first base since. He's experienced quick success by collecting four hits across eight at-bats while also driving in two runs and scoring once. While clearly a small sample, Goodman did boast prolific production between Double-A Hartford and Triple-A Albuquerque earlier in the campaign by tallying 34 homers across 467 plate appearances.

Rivas went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI on Monday against the Royals.

Rivas has split starts at first base with Connor Joe evenly across the last 12 games. He's struggled to collect hits consistently since joining the Pirates on Aug. 3 by going 11-for-53, though seven of his 11 knocks have gone for extra bases. Monday, Rivas had one of his more productive games in the last month, which was highlighted by an RBI double in the eighth frame.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.

Goldschmidt has regained his power swing with three homers over his last eight games, and he's gone 10-for-28 (.357) with seven RBI in that span. The first baseman is hitting .278 on the year, his lowest mark since 2019, and he's added an .828 OPS with 22 homers, 69 RBI, 75 runs scored and 10 stolen bases through 128 contests.

Freeman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Freeman has been dialed in over the last nine games, going 16-for-39 (.410), but his first-inning blast Monday was his first homer since Aug. 6. The first baseman was not totally void of power in that 19-game stretch, racking up 10 doubles. He's slashing a magnificent .340/.415/.583 with 24 long balls, 87 RBI, 109 runs scored, 17 stolen bases, 50 doubles and two triples through 130 contests as he's putting forth another MVP-caliber season.

Cooper went 3-for-5 with three RBI in Monday's win over St. Louis.

Cooper knocked a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning and added two insurance runs in the ninth. He's collected multiple hits in four of his last five games and has gone 16-for-49 (.327) since being acquired by the Padres. For the season, he's slashing .266/.311/.432 with 51 RBI and 30 extra-base hits.

Montero is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

Montero is on the bench for the third consecutive game. He looks like he could be the odd man out of the lineup for the time being while the Rockies get a look at rookie Hunter Goodman in an everyday role at first base.

Wade is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Wade worked off the bench the past two days with left-handers starting for the opponent, and he will find himself in the same spot Monday with southpaw Andrew Abbott toeing the rubber for the Reds.

Santana is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Santana recorded four homers, 12 RBI and a .935 OPS over his last 12 games, but per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, he also sprained his ankle in Sunday's victory over the Padres and will get at least one day to rest and recover. Rowdy Tellez will start at first base for the Brewers on Monday night.

Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Orioles.

Toglia has held a regular role in the Colorado lineup since July 16, when he was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque. In that span, he's hit just .170 with a 33 percent strikeout rate, though he has homered in two of his last three starts -- neither of which have come at home. The Rockies have shown a willingness to let Toglia play through his struggles, though the addition of Hunter Goodman to the roster could complicate his playing time moving forward.

Candelario went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's victory over the Pirates.

Candelario put the Cubs ahead 3-1 with a two-run homer off Bailey Falter in the fourth inning, which was his 19th long ball of the year (matching a career high) and third since joining Chicago. The 29-year-old Candelario has two homers and eight RBI over his last six games, though he's gone just 5-for-23 (.217) in that span. Overall, he's slashing .267/.347/.489 with 71 runs scored, 65 RBI and eight steals across 510 plate appearances between the Cubs and Nationals this season.
