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

Bauers has taken hold of a strong-side platoon role for Milwaukee since Christian Yelich (back) landed on the injured list July 24, but Bauers will find himself on the bench for the third time in four contests while the Brewers face another lefty (Mitchell Parker). Gary Sanchez will end up taking Bauers' spot in the lineup, as Sanchez will start at catcher while William Contreras serves as the club's designated hitter and Rhys Hoskins starts at first base.

Canha is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Canha has now started just once in four games since joining the Giants after being acquired from the Tigers on Tuesday. The right-handed-hitting Canha's lone start came Friday versus Reds lefty Andrew Abbott, with the other three absences coming while the Giants have faced right-handed pitching. Canha looks like he'll have to settle for a short-side platoon role while the Giants have all their key lineup contributors at full health.

Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Nationals.

Hoskins hit a solo home run in the seventh inning and has now recorded a hit in nine consecutive games. While none of those have been multi-hit efforts, he seems to be finding his power stroke with four long balls and nine RBI in that span. On the season, the first baseman is hitting .220 with 19 homers and 57 RBI across 345 plate appearances.

Busch went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Cardinals.

Busch hit a two-run homer in the first inning and singled in the fifth. He has gone just 6-for-33 in his past 10 games, but three of those hits have left the park. On the season, the first baseman is hitting .260 with 15 home runs, 43 RBI and 52 runs scored across 392 plate appearances.

Freeman (personal) could rejoin the Dodgers during their home series against the Phillies that begins Monday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Freeman has been away from the team since last Saturday, when he was placed on the family medical emergency list. The Dodgers transferred him to the restricted list Saturday, which temporarily removes him from the 40-man roster. While manager Dave Roberts didn't commit to a date for Freeman's return to the club, the first baseman looks to be trending toward an activation in the coming days. Cavan Biggio will likely move back into a reserve role once Freeman is reinstated.

Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

Lefty starter Jordan Montgomery will toe the slab for the D-backs on Saturday, so the left-handed-hitting Tellez will retreat to the bench to begin the game. Connor Joe will fill in at first base while batting third.

France started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Giants.

France made his first start for the Reds since being acquired earlier in the week. With Christian Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) done for the season, first base has become a rotation involving Jeimer Candelario, Spencer Steer and France.

Busch went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 win over the Cardinals.

Busch and Christian Bethancourt led the way for the Cubs with two home runs and four total RBI. For Busch, he's now up to 14 long balls this season to go along with a .257 batting average and .795 OPS. He's been a bit cold lately with a .143 average over his last five games, though he's gone deep twice in that span to boost his OPS to .821. Busch should remain locked in at first base for Chicago moving forward.

Bell started at first base, batted fourth and went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Friday's 9-8 win over Pittsburgh.

Bell, who was making his debut for the Diamondbacks, homered in his first plate appearance as part of a five-run first inning. He later tied the game at 7-7 with a solo shot in the seventh. Bell was acquired Tuesday immediately after the Diamondbacks learned starting first baseman Christian Walker (oblique) would miss an estimated three weeks, but Bell's role after Walker returns is uncertain with Joc Pederson boasting a .921 OPS this season as the primary DH against right-handed pitching.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and three strikeouts in Friday's 5-1 win over the Angels.

Alonso took Tyler Anderson deep in the third inning in what ended up being the deciding runs in Friday's win. Alonso has been hot with three home runs over his last five games and four long balls already since the All-Star break. The 29-year-old is hitting with .242/.324/.469 with 23 homers with 62 runs and 59 RBI in 109 games this season.
