Bell went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three total RBI in a 5-3 win over Cleveland in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Bell now has nine home runs in his last 12 games, including four in five contests since joining the D-Backs. Overall, the 31-year-old first baseman is slashing .241/.306/.420 this season across 469 plate appearances between Arizona and Miami. Bell should continue to see regular at-bats with Christian Walker (oblique) likely sidelined until late August.

Busch went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Twins.

After going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Monday's game against his hometown team, Busch ended the series on a high note. The first baseman clobbered his 16th home run of the season and fourth in his last 10 games. If he can stay healthy, Busch seems primed to reach the 20-homer plateau for the first time in his young career in what's been a nice debut campaign with the Cubs.

Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Alec Burleson will step in at first base while Goldschmidt exits the starting lineup for the first time since July 13, when he hit the bench for the first game of a doubleheader. After his bat had begun to heat up coming out of the All-Star break, Goldschmidt has started slumping again; he's gone 0-for-7 with seven punchouts against three walks over his last five games.

Bauers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

The Brewers are facing off against a left-hander (Chris Sale) for the fourth time in six games, and the lefty-hitting Bauers has found himself on the bench for each of those contests. He still looks to have a hold on a strong-side platoon role while Christian Yelich (back) is on the shelf, but Bauers will cede his spot in the lineup to Gary Sanchez on Wednesday.

Cronenworth is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Pittsburgh, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Southpaw Marco Gonzales is toeing the rubber for the Pirates, offering the Padres a chance to give the left-handed-hitting Cronenworth a day of rest. Donovan Solano will occupy first base in his stead.

France went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-2 win over Miami.

France answered the Marlins' two-run fourth inning with a leadoff homer in the fifth. It was the second home run in as many games for France, who made a fifth consecutive start at first base. It appears he's settling in as the club's primary first baseman, regardless of which starter is on the mound. During his five-start run, the first three starts were against left-handers and the last two against righties.

Flores (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024 season, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Flores underwent a Tenex procedure on his right knee Tuesday and the Giants ruled the infielder out for the remainder of 2024 following the surgery. The 32-year-old's 12th MLB season comes to and end with Flores having contributed four homers, 19 runs and 26 RBI in 242 plate appearances across 71 games. Mark Canha is slated to platoon with LaMonte Wade at first base in the closing two months of the regular season.

Arraez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Arraez will avoid a matchup with southpaw Bailey Falter, giving way to Jake Cronenworth at first base and Donovan Solano at DH. Arraez has been held out of the lineup in three of the Padres' last six games against left-handed pitching.

Freeman went 1-for-4 in Monday's 5-3 win against the Phillies.

Freeman missed eight games while on the family medical emergency list before returning to action Monday. He received a standing ovation from the crowd at Dodger Stadium prior to his first at-bat and singled to right field in the third. Freeman and his wife, Chelsea, shared that their three-year-old son was discharged from the hospital Sunday after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome. With the child on the mend, Freeman appears set to resume his everyday role at first base for the Dodgers.

Busch went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Twins.

Busch came into the night on a three-game hitting streak, during which he blasted two home runs and only struck out once. It was a different story for the 26-year-old Monday as he struck out four times in a game for just the second time this season, with his last such performance coming back on May 5. Busch should be able to bounce back, as he's batting a solid .257 with a .797 OPS this year.
