Steer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Steer will hit the bench for the series finale after he started in each of the last nine games while going 8-for-36 (.222 average) with three home runs and seven RBI. He'll give way to Stuart Fairchild in left field Sunday.

Steer started in left field and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Nationals.

Steer made a second straight start in left field, as the Reds placed Jake Fraley on the injured list with a fractured toe. Steer is no stranger to left field, as he's often started there when Fraley sat against left-handers, but if he's called on to play more in the outfield, third base becomes a rotation of players. On Friday, Kevin Newman started at third followed by Saturday's starter Nick Senzel. Once Jonathan India (foot) is ready to return, Elly De La Cruz should start most games at the hot corner.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Padres.

Freeman didn't run much for the bulk of July, but he's now logged three steals over his last six games to get to 15 thefts on the year. He's hit .386 (44-for-114) since the start of July, even better than his .337 batting average for the season. The first baseman has added a 1.003 OPS, 22 home runs, 77 RBI, 95 runs scored, 40 doubles and two triples through 109 games.

Dixon cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Dixon was optioned to Triple-A in mid-July and has now lost his place on San Diego's 40-man roster after the organization's additions at the trade deadline. The 31-year-old has made 33 appearances with the Friars this year and has posted a .573 OPS in 79 at-bats.

Toglia is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Alan Trejo will get a rare turn in the starting lineup as Toglia heads to the bench after six consecutive starts. Toglia's been in a bad way at the plate, managing just four singles while striking out 12 times in his last 25 at-bats, but the Rockies are in full-blown evaluation mode and the 24-year-old Toglia likely still has some leash in a regular role.

Manager Craig Counsell said Friday that Tellez (finger/forearm) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The 28-year-old had the stitches removed from his fractured left ring finger July 25 and has been cleared for game action after ramping up his baseball activities over the past week and a half. Tellez initially landed on the shelf in early July with forearm inflammation, but that injury no longer appears to be a concern. Depending how many games he'll require during the rehab assignment, Tellez could be back with the Brewers as early as next weekend's three-game series against the White Sox.

Montero went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Cardinals.

Since being recalled July 25, Montero has started six of nine games split between first base and DH. He's collected seven hits in 25 at-bats, though he's still striking out at a 37 percent clip. Montero began the season as an option at third base for the Rockies, but he struggled there defensively and has since been limited to the opposite corner of the infield. In order to maintain playing time once Charlie Blackmon (hand) and Kris Bryant (hand) return -- both remain without a timetable -- Montero will have to continue to hit.

Rivas went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer and a triple in Friday's victory against the Brewers.

Rivas got the Pirates on the board with his first-inning long ball, his first homer of the year in his second game with Pittsburgh after being dealt by the Padres before the trade deadline. Rivas is expected to get the bulk of the playing time at first base for the Pirates down the stretch, and the 26-year-old could be surprisingly productive given his career .313/.424/.492 slash line over 150 games at Triple-A.

Wade went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

The Giants' offense has been inconsistent lately, but Wade's homer Thursday allowed the team to scrape together a win with just three baserunners. He's homered twice in his last three games, going 4-for-10 with a walk in that span. The first baseman is up to 11 long balls, 30 RBI, 46 runs scored, two stolen bases and a .268/.396/.431 slash line through 95 contests.

Freeman went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two doubles Thursday in an 8-2 win over Oakland.

Freeman racked up three extra-base hits in the contest, though the only one that produced a run was his solo homer in the eighth inning. The veteran first baseman has been on an absolute tear of late, collecting multiple hits in four straight games and going an incredible 12-for-17 with six extra-base hits, three RBI and five runs over that stretch. Freeman may not be getting the same amount of MVP buzz as his former teammate Ronald Acuna, but he's arguably in the running for the award given his impressive production this season. Freeman leads the NL in OPS (1.016), SLG (.598) and doubles (40), ranks second in batting average (.341), hits (146) and runs (94), and has added 22 homers, 76 RBI and 14 stolen bases through 107 games.
