Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.

Freeman has four homers, eight RBI and five multi-hit efforts over his last eight games, bouncing back from a quiet stretch right after the All-Star break. The first baseman has already matched his homer total from last year (21), doing so in 100 games this season compared to 159 contests in 2022. He's slashing a stellar .328/.410/.584 with 71 RBI, 87 runs scored, 12 stolen bases, 35 doubles and two triples while working as the Dodgers' usual No. 2 hitter.

Cronenworth isn't in the Padres' lineup Tuesday against Pittsburgh.

Cronenworth is just 4-for-21 with three RBI across his last five games and will get a breather for Tuesday's contest. Matthew Batten will start at first base in Cronenworth's absence and bat eighth.

Colorado recalled Montero from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Montero has slashed just .198/.223/.321 in 112 plate appearances this season at the MLB level, but the Rockies need to bolster their supply of position players after placing Kris Bryant on the injured list Tuesday with a fractured finger.

Cron (back) said he doesn't expect to return to the lineup until Friday against the Athletics, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Cron will miss a fourth straight game Tuesday at Washington due to lower-back tightness and probably won't play in Wednesday's series finale either. Colorado has a scheduled team off day Thursday before opening a three-game weekend set Friday against the Athletics. Michael Toglia has been filling in at first base.

Cron (back) remains out of the lineup Tuesday at Washington.

Cron has been sidelined since last Friday because of lower-back tightness, though he was able to do some pregame work Monday and will probably try the same Tuesday. Michael Toglia is starting at first base and batting seventh versus the Nationals.

Cooper (illness) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Rays.

Cooper will start at first base and bat third in the Marlins' series opener versus Tampa Bay after getting scratched from Sunday's series finale against the Rockies due to a mild illness. He holds a .733 OPS with 12 homers and 44 RBI through 78 games this season.

Smith is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Rockies.

Colorado is throwing left-hander Austin Gomber, so Joey Meneses will play first base and Keibert Ruiz will take a turn as the Nationals' designated hitter. Smith has a .647 OPS this year against southpaws.

Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 10-6 loss to the Cardinals.

Walker has hit safely in five of his last seven games, going 9-for-26 (.346) with three homers, six RBI and six walks in that span. The first baseman enjoyed an excellent June before cooling off in the first half of July. He's at a .263/.341/.518 slash line with 21 homers, 64 RBI, 54 runs scored, 30 doubles and seven stolen bases through 97 contests overall.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

Goldschmidt has gone 12-for-42 (.286) over 10 contests since the All-Star break. Monday was his fifth multi-hit effort in that span. The first baseman's recent work is right in line with his season numbers, aside from a moderate dip in power. He's at a .285/.371/.473 slash line with 17 homers, 53 RBI, 63 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 97 contests this season.

Santana went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double, four RBI and a walk in Monday's 8-4 win over the Padres.

Santana hit two-run blasts in the third and fifth innings, ending his 18-game power drought. He'd gone just 10-for-63 (.159) in July prior to this breakout effort. Santana is up to 11 homers, 52 RBI, 43 runs scored, 25 doubles and six stolen bases through 92 contests, and his .237/.322/.408 slash line is his best since 2019.
