Steer is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Giants.

Steer will get a day off after he went 1-for-9 with a walk and four strikeouts in the Reds' three-game series with Milwaukee. Joey Votto will take over at first base while Christian Encarnacion-Strand makes his MLB debut at designated hitter while hitting seventh in the series opener with San Francisco.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's win over the Nationals.

Goldschmidt gave the Cardinals some breathing room with a two-run shot in the sixth to put them up 6-3. He had gone nine straight games without an RBI from July 1 through July 14 but has tallied three RBI and been on base five times over his last two games. The 35-year-old continues to provide a steady bat for the Cardinals and is now slashing .285/.370/.480 with 16 homers, 49 RBI, 54 runs and a 47:88 BB:K in 405 plate appearances.

Toglia went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-7 extra-innings win over the Yankees.

Toglia got the nod at first base, spelling C.J. Cron, who served as the designated hitter Sunday. The homer was Toglia's first of the campaign. He's batting just .172 with a 2:10 BB:K over 31 major-league plate appearances, and it's unlikely he sees much more than a reserve role while on the Rockies' 26-man roster.

Cron went 1-for-5 with a grand slam and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-7 extra-innings win over the Yankees.

Cron put the Rockies ahead 5-3 with his eighth-inning blast, his second in as many games. The first baseman is batting a solid .314 (11-for-35) in July, lifting his season slash line to .250/.293/.451 through 50 contests. He's added nine homers, 28 RBI, 28 runs scored and 10 doubles over 198 plate appearances.

The Cubs acquired Higgins from the Diamondbacks on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Higgins was having a nice season at Triple-A Reno, slashing .316/.407/.471 through 58 games, but clearly Arizona did not have plans for him at the major-league level. Now back with the team that drafted him in 2015, Higgins could get another opportunity with the Cubs down the road if there is an injury or if the team trades a catcher or two.

Tellez (forearm) suffered a fractured left ring finger while shagging a fly ball Saturday and will be sidelined for another 3-to-4 weeks, at a minimum, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Tellez appeared set to return from the injury list Tuesday after turning the page on an inflamed right forearm. However, he's been set back by a stroke of bad luck after injuring the ring finger during batting practice and requiring 17 stitches for a torn nail bed. Manager Craig Counsell suggested the Brewers will continue to lean on Owen Miller heavily at first base in the weeks ahead.

Cron went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Yankees.

Cron has four multi-hit efforts over nine games in July, but he's also gone hitless three times this month. The first baseman has added two of his eight homers this season in that stretch. He's at a decent .251/.295/.441 slash line with 24 RBI, 26 runs scored and 10 doubles through 49 contests overall.

Hall isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against San Diego, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Left-hander Ryan Weathers will start Game 2 on the mound for San Diego, so the left-handed bat of Hall will stay put in Philly's dugout. Alec Bohm will take over at first base, allowing Edmundo Sosa to start at third and bat seventh.

Cooper isn't in the Marlins' lineup Saturday against Baltimore, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

After going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during Friday's game, Cooper will sit out Saturday to regroup. Yuli Gurriel will take over as Miami's first baseman and bat fifth.

Young isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against Boston.

With left-hander James Paxton starting on the mound Saturday for the Red Sox, the lefty-hitting Young will stay put in Chicago's dugout to begin the game. Trey Mancini will fill in at first base and bat fifth.
