The Padres placed Cronenworth on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right wrist fracture.

Cronenworth took a 92-mph fastball to the wrist during the ninth inning of Friday's game against Milwaukee. The Padres didn't specify a timeline for the 29-year-old, but there is a chance Cronenworth misses the rest of the season. Matthew Batten was recalled from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

Montero isn't in the Rockies' lineup Saturday against Baltimore, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

After going 7-for-19 with six RBI and two runs scored across his last six games, Montero will get a breather Saturday. Michael Toglia will enter as Colorado's first baseman and bat eighth.

Wade isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against Atlanta, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Southpaw Max Fried will start on the mound for Atlanta, meaning the left-handed bat of Wade will stay put in the Giants' dugout to begin Saturday's game. J.D. Davis will take over at first base, allowing Casey Schmitt to start at third and bat eighth.

Freeman went 4-for-5 with a double, three runs and an RBI in a 7-4 win against the Red Sox on Friday.

Among Freeman's four base knocks was a seventh-inning RBI double that gave Los Angeles its first lead of the game. The two-bagger was his league-leading 48th of the campaign, moving him one behind Shawn Green for the Los Angeles Dodgers record and four behind Johnny Frederick for the overall franchise mark. Freeman has been blistering at the plate of late, going 9-for-14 with three doubles, five runs and two RBI over his past three games.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.

Bohm's home run off Miles Mikolas to lead off the sixth provided the Phillies a three-run cushion. He had also previously doubled off Mikolas to earn his third multi-hit effort in his last six games. The 14 homers and 79 RBI are both career highs for Bohm, who is now slashing .284/.338/.433 on the season.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-2 loss to Philadelphia.

Goldschmidt gave the Cardinals an early lead with his first-inning dinger, but that was the only damage the Redbirds could manage on the evening. The 35-year-old slugger remains productive, slashing .278/.367/.457 through 125 games. However, his 21 home runs leave him on a pace to finish below 30 home runs in a full season for the first time since 2016.

Tellez went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's win over the Padres.

Tellez ripped a three-run homer in the third inning and also tacked on an RBI single. Between poor performance and a lengthy stint on the injured list, it was his first long ball since May 22. During that 38-game homerless drought, he posted a brutal .160/.215/.200 slash line. Tellez now owns a .686 OPS with 41 RBI and 13 home runs through 82 games.

Cronenworth was lifted from Friday's game in Milwaukee after being hit on the right wrist by a pitch, 97.3 The Fan reports.

A 92 mph Andrew Chafin fastball caught Cronenworth in a bad spot and he was quickly removed from the game. The infielder is no doubt headed for X-rays, with an update on his condition possibly available later Friday. Cronenworth was 1-for-3 with a single in addition to the hit by pitch before exiting.

Smith isn't in the Nationals' lineup Friday against Miami, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Smith will retreat to the bench against left-handed starter Braxton Garrett. Joey Meneses will fill in at first base, moving Keibert Ruiz into the DH spot while Riley Adams starts behind the dish.

Freeman went 5-for-9 with two doubles, two runs and an RBI over both contests in Thursday's doubleheader sweep of the Guardians.

Freeman recorded three hits in the matinee, which was technically a continuation of Wednesday's suspended game. He added two more base knocks in the nightcap before being replaced in the field in the seventh frame with Los Angeles holding a comfortable lead. Freeman is up to 47 doubles on the campaign, matching the career high he set last season and leading the majors by a wide margin. Following an uncharacteristic six-game rough patch during which the All-Star first baseman went 2-for-20, Freeman has bounced back with a five-game hitting streak during which he is slashing .381/.381/.524 with three doubles, two RBI and a stolen base.
