Cronenworth went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

Cronenworth launched his 15th home run of the season, a three-run shot off Mitch Keller in the opening frame. Cronenworth now owns a six-game hitting streak and is batting .261 with two extra-base hits, seven RBI and three runs scored during that span. The 30-year-old is slashing .249/.318/.412 with 15 home runs, 70 RBI, 56 runs scored and two steals in 117 games this season.

Hoskins isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers.

Hoskins has been seeing the ball well since the beginning of August, slashing .300/.349/.500 with two homers and four RBI across 43 plate appearances. He'll get a breather against right-hander Walker Buehler while Jake Bauers covers first base and Tyler Black serves as Milwaukee's designated hitter.

France is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

France will get a respite for the series finale after he went 4-for-17 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run while starting each of the last five games at either first base or designated hitter. Spencer Steer will get the nod at first base Wednesday, while Jeimer Candelario serves as the Reds' DH.

Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

The lefty-hitting Tellez will exit the lineup while the Padres send southpaw Martin Perez to the bump Wednesday. Connor Joe will check in at first base for Tellez, who had started each of the last nine games while slashing .290/.313/.387 with two RBI and two runs.

Arraez went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs and a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-0 victory against the Pirates.

Arraez was the only Padre to reach base three times in the victory, and he scored two of the team's three runs. Arraez also sweetened his fantasy line with a stolen base in the first inning. He's far from a speedster on the basepaths, but Arraez does have a career-high five thefts on the campaign.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Walker (oblique) is now asymptomatic and has begun hitting off a tee, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Walker had been limited to taking dry swings over the past several days while the team waited for the pain in his oblique to dissipate, but he'll now begin ramping up activities. It's still unclear how far away the 33-year-old is from a return to Arizona's lineup, but the acquisition of Josh Bell ahead of the trade deadline will allow the D-backs to approach Walker's rehab with less urgency.

Busch is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

The lefty-hitting Busch will take a seat Tuesday as southpaw Matthew Boyd takes the mound for Cleveland. Patrick Wisdom will bat fifth and play first base.

The Brewers recalled Black from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

With outfielder Blake Perkins (calf) going on the 10-day injured list, Black was summoned from Triple-A to fill the open spot on the active roster. Over his previous two stints with Milwaukee this season, Black hit .235 with two doubles, one RBI, three stolen bases and two runs scored in 12 games. He'll likely serve in a utility role while he's up with the Brewers.

Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) hopes to be ready to return during a potential playoff run for the Reds, Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Encarnacion-Strand underwent surgery a month ago to repair ligaments in his fractured right wrist and has yet to resume baseball activities. While the infielder is holding out hope that he could possibly impact a postseason run for the Reds, the likelihood is high that he will ultimately be held out until next season. Still, the fact that it's even a remote possibility indicates that Encarnacion-Strand should have a relatively normal offseason if all goes well.

Black has been added to the Brewers' taxi squad and could be formally recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Black is with the club at American Family Field ahead of Monday's game against the Dodgers and could be activated if Brewers outfielder Blake Perkins (calf) requires a stint on the injured list. The rookie has gone 8-for-34 at the plate in 12 games with Milwaukee this season.
